For a while now i've been trying to come to terms with a couple of things. Apologies for not being able to do a TL;DR.
Working on waifus i dont know of, not finding good reference work for said character and having most of you guy s also not know who the characters are or may be have been quite frustrating for a good while now. Owari is a good example of this. It came out great but working on it was not pleasant since there was little to no fanart made of her (that wasnt ai) and every person i asked didnt even know who the character was.
Therefore i've decided from now on we'll be working with a selective pool of waifus that we've done in the past. Who these waifus will be exactly i cant say yet but to give you guys an example you can expect Frankie, Frieren, Fern, Chun Li, Yor, Rosalina, Peach, Zelda, etc. There'll be more added to the pool once i've decided on at least 12 of them. Of course if a new hot waifu comes around and she looks fun we'll make exceptions and work on them as they come out/become popular.
Suggestions for outfits and/or themes are still very much welcomed and encouraged.
What does this mean for the STL files? Polls will now consist of the waifus in said group. I'm still thinking out the system but a rough idea of it would be as follow:
We make a poll with 12-16 waifus
We select the top 8 and we work on those 8 over the next 4 months doing polls at the end of every month for priority. Once that cycle is done with re-do the big pool poll and repeat.
^THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE^
I understand there'll be some people that will be disappointed that they will most likely not get the chance to see characters that arent worked on as much but this is something i have to do if i wanna keep this running in the long term.
The printing changes will take effect this months. We'll still do Ikumo and Kohaku but the poll wont be based on suggestions anymore but instead on characters i might feel like working on.
As always i really appreciate your support and if you have any suggestions or thoughts feel free to let me know in the comments.
