October Pinup Set Poll!
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 01:13:33 +0000 UTCHeya folks!
What would you like to see me work on, for October's set? Scroll down to see the options:
First, we have a Castlevania fanart set:

It's a gender bent Simon (Simona) Belmont, based on some of the old art for the NES Castlevania games! In this set, I wanted to focus on theme and setting, with loads of stuff in the backgrounds that fans of the original Castlevania games would recognize and enjoy. Currently these are just sketches, so there will be some pose adjustments (bottom right) and more details added (especially in the bottom left). I want to put lots of baddies in there!
NSFW Features: These will have nude variants (or battle damage outfits that expose nudity), and will not have any sex scenes.
Next, we have a Dragon's Crown fan art set:
It's the Sorceress from Dragon's Crown! This one is more traditional in it's pinup format, with a major focus on the character and pose.
NSFW Features: I'll be doing nude versions of each drawing, and an erotic (sex) version of one of these, likely one of the bottom two. But the details of which are still to be worked out.
Cast your Votes!
Ok, so go ahead and vote to let me know which you would prefer I work on, for October! I will work on whichever one wins, during October. Also, go ahead and let me know what you think of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts. :D
May the best set win!

After seeing the Castlevania set makes me want a Lewd version of Castlevania now.... with previous Vamp waifu as potential love interest for MC~ XD

Not familiar with either of the franchises, but I do like the idea of the sexy adventurer who's clothes get shredded dodging traps and fighting bad guys.
Lucavi Voltaire
Very nice! Yeah it's a good one and even better multiplayer. Would be worth it to finish it sometime.
RoninDude
Thanks Lucavi! I also have Dragon's Crown. The wife and I got pretty far in it before, but never finished. We should get back to it and try again.
Lucavi Voltaire
The Simona set is definitely going to be fun and great. Dragon's crown in general but the sorceress especially just makes me feel some sort of way though you know? XD that game was and still is incredibly fun. I'm glad I have a copy for my PS3
RoninDude
I appreciate that input! It's often hard to know what people are going to be interested in. Sometimes I will simplify things based on what I think people want, and so I was wondering if the Castlevania one was maybe not sexy enough for my "Pinup" patreon brand. But people are voting it up, so I suppose people do enjoy a bit of action or narrative with the sexy themes. Live and learn! :D
RoninDude
Thanks for the vote! I am always pressed for time, and it's difficult to know what people will enjoy, and what will end up taking a lot of time and turning people away. That's the downside of doing this for a living. I can't just draw whatever tickles my fancy, unless I can validate to myself that enough people will also enjoy it, to support the time spent making it. I do remember that set, and it was a fun idea! But at the time it was a large project compared to what I was used to. I do think I would be better equipped to do it justice now, but I've also moved on from it emotionally, and I think I'd probably want to just make something new. But who knows! I still have the concept sketches haha
RoninDude
Thank you! I'll draw the other set perhaps next month, unless either one somehow completely flatlined in terms of votes.

Definitely set A for me. Straight-up sexy stuff (set B) is everywhere. I'm here for your blend of fun/funny and cute and sexy. The bottom left pic on set A is basically a perfect example of what I mean. Added bonus: "oops battle damage nudity!" is a subcategory of it that I particularly like. :)

Voted Castlevania because it's telling a story versus simple cheesecake. A loooong time ago, you had posted sketches of your fantasy heroine character - the one with the short hair, sword, armor & headscarf - invading a dungeon and battling a goblin and I wish you'd seen that one through. I'd always hoped she'd become a recurring character, but that never came to pass.

I'm a massive Castlevania fan, and I think it will likely win, but the fact that set B has the erotic scenes garnered it my vote. I'm going to be happy in either case though!
RoninDude
Haha works for me XD
Griffin Hawk
Medieval werewolf who happens to be Ruthie's ancestor and looks completely identical to her just with different clothes and an english accent because that's what popculture has taught us is exactly how the past and genetics work?
RoninDude
Glad you dig it! I do like the Amazon and Elf too! I'll have to try them out, sometime. I'll likely do the Sorceress one some other time, since people do seem to like that set, and I already have the sketches done, so why not? As for a Ruthie set, maybe! I've been just sort of letting myself explore a bit lately, and right now I'm in a medieval fantasy mood. Specifically, more of a grimdark medieval fantasy mood haha
Griffin Hawk
Oooh, cool idea Pollin'Dude! To the surprise of no one, I went with Castlevania. I was actually binging the netflix series a couple weeks ago in prep for the new season coming in January. As well as rewatching IFinishedAVideoGame's "Castlevania Series Retrospective - A Complete History and Review" for probably the 10th time this year. (It's REALLY GOOD!) Still, I think the backgrounds give the Castlevania set an overwhelming advantage here. Probably unfairly so. Though I suppose there's no reason you can't do the Dragon's Crown set at a later date. Which I hope you do cause it does look fantastic. I think Sorceress gets so much attention that people forget about Amazon and Elf who are just as awesome and hot. I really need to play Dragon's Crown some more. I have it and I think it's a GREAT game, but I've just got so much going on that I haven't ever finished it. Anyway, unrelated to anything here, have you ever considered doing a Ruthie solo set? I think it'd be nice to see her set out on her own at least once.
RoninDude
Indeed!
Richard Hardslab
Mmm, wall chicken
RoninDude
Thanks for the vote!

The warrior one looks more fun to me similar to Indiana jones. My vote went to A.
RoninDude
I like them both, but I do agree! The action vibes of the Castlevania one would be a fun one to work on!
Tim Bend
Love 'em both, but action hero vibes win out for me
RoninDude
I appreciate the vote! :D
AbysmalDream
Like some have echoed, Castlevania, October, fitting match. I would like to see Sorceress get some love in the future though
RoninDude
I'll probably save it for November, unless it completely tanks in terms of votes. If I am not sure if people like it, I'll do another poll to decide whether to use it later or ditch it.

Since it looks like the Castlevania set is going to win for October, is it safe to say you'll still be doing the Dragon's Crown set, just in a later month?
RoninDude
I will probably do the other set another month (depending on which one wins), if it doesn't completely tank in the poll haha
RoninDude
I feel ya! That's why I decided to set up a poll haha
RoninDude
I appreciate that! :D
Sogni Scuri
I’d love to see both…but Castlevania is a better fit for October.
James
Both are great hard to choose just one set lol
Matthew D. Riddle
Love them both, but your action scenes are above and beyond. Gotta co with Castlevania!
RoninDude
Oh, cool! Yeah haha I had to put some good ol wall chicken in there!
RoninDude
Thank you! I love fantasy, especially dark fantasy!
Jon Mopho
Definitely set A. I love Dragon's Crown but I've loved Castlevania much longer. Plus the sketches look very dynamic which is an easy way to win me over 😊 Plus there's wall chicken. Wall chicken is always good.
Zelse
Your fantasy themed sets are easily your best.
RoninDude
Thanks! May I ask what you picked?
RoninDude
Thanks Shawn! I have been on an old school castlevania kick lately haha
RoninDude
I am glad to hear that! :D
Jon Mopho
Great choices overall but the choice was an easy one for me
Shawn K. Younkin
Going with Set A! You really knocked the back ground art out of the park on top of Simona! LOL at the turkey in the third pic!
SlipperyFrog
I love that castlevania set so much.
RoninDude
Nice! Yeah, I wanted to capture that old Super Castlevania IV opening hehe
Dobraukin
You got me with the first panel of the Castlevania set… oh! The memories! ❤️😂
RoninDude
Ok haha got it! :D
Grizz
Yea haha mb I should’ve said
RoninDude
I assume you mean the Castlevania set?
Grizz
Would love to see a nice dynamic set
