August Art + Story Poll! (Patreon)

First off, thanks everybody for sticking with me here! I've pushed through some lows and feeling newly inspired again, so I'm eager to do another OC art poll! (Here's the progress on that Toriel fanart poll btw, just wanted to get rolling on the next poll!)

I've had a ton of expansion story ideas sitting around for a while, so I pulled together a few prompts I could turn into a series of growy illustrations over the course of the month with accompanying story blurbs! (Gonna finally share some of my writing!) The intro will be a cel color illustration setting up the story, then the character will take a selfie (or two if i have time) around the middle of the month to show their progress, then the finale will be another cel color illustration!

- Any tier $2 and up can vote on the which story gets picked for the month, and see the WIP snapshots of each stage and future parts of the sequence.

- $25 💊Capsule tier patrons will get to vote on what direction to take each selfie update, steering what kind of growth the character experiences! Also, at the end of the month, they'll receive Instax-sized 54x86mm mini-prints of these updates in the mail! (plus the monthly $10 patron-exclusive sticker!)

- $50 ⚗️Potion tier patrons will get to vote on the finale - how should the story end? Potion patrons will also get 4x6" photo prints of the intro and finale, as well as the Instax photos and exclusive sticker!

And now... the story choices!~

#1 - DOLORES - MÜBER

Dolores is hoping to take an extra-luxurious vacation, and looks into a side hustle for some extra cash... there's this app called Muber she's been hearing about from her friends envious of her bust, something about producing milk on your own schedule with the patented supplements & pumps they send you, and they handle selling it for you and everything? One of those own "be your own boss" kinda things that favors naturally busty entrepreneurs, and she IS a cow after all... so why not give it a try and see how much she can make?

Involves breast expansion and lactation, with the later options of WG and a potential partner to assist her!

#2 - SHAY - CLINICAL TRIAL

Shay is a university sophomore hungry for credit hours and junk food, but this squirrel is getting tired of hitting up the gym to remain a skinny legend when she'd rather be going to town on the dining hall... So when she sees a flyer outside the campus gym for a drug study involving metabolism boosters, she leaps at the chance to skip the treadmill and let some wonder drug do the hard work for her! Supposedly it works by cranking your metabolism so high that you can eat absolutely anything and stay thin... good thing, cause she'd love to eat absolutely everything!

Involves stuffing and an out-of-control appetite, with the later options of WG and a potential partner / feeder!

#3 - AMBER - SUMMER CIDER CHALLENGE

Amber decides to drop into her local cidery for the first time in a while, where she's something of a legendary double threat as both a hard cider connoisseur and a heavyweight in drinking contests. To her surprise, her favorite craft brewer is holding a contest at the end of the month for whoever can pound down the most bottles of their cider with a hefty cash prize - talk about a golden opportunity for a woodchuck with her skillset! There may be some stiff competition, though... judging by the guts on some regulars, they've gotten a head start on training ahead of her, so she'll have to make up for lost time and crack open a few extra cold ones over the next few weeks! Good thing it's so soon, 'cause their ciders are NOT light on calories...

Involves alcohol (obviously) and belly expansion, with the option of some WG and a partner later on for some funnel shenanigans!

#4 - JIMBO - LISTEN TO YOUR GUT

Jimbo's been hitting up that cardio and weightlifting for a while now, but results have been plateauing... maybe he needs a change in diet? At his local secondhand bookstore, he comes across a supposedly revolutionary book on dieting, "Listen To Your Gut"... apparently sometimes you just gotta follow your body's instincts for best results, who knew? The book proposes giving in to your cravings for one month, no matter how "unhealthy" they may seem, in order to trick your brain into weight loss. Or something. One thing's for sure... he's had a powerful craving for an ungodly amount of pizza for weeks now. Dare he embark on a wild month of listening to his gut, no matter how loud it gets...?

Involves stuffing and WG, with later options of where and how to indulge!

So... cast your vote below! Voting closes Sunday the 9th at 11:59pm EST! You can vote for multiple choices, but only one story will win this month! I'll take note if a story seems well-liked and comes close so I can offer it as an option again in the future, so vote for any that interest you!
