Finished up three hypothetical title screens that would pop up if I went through with that "full-length cartoon" idea I mentioned in a journal recently. The idea behind these would be something along the lines of "Sally Redmont in..." as she pops up, smiling. If Sam's also a main character, she'll be credited first as she waves and then Sally will pop up, crowding her out with her big belly. Then after that intro, the title screen would show up for a few seconds. So basically: "Samantha Weltzin and Sally Redmont in...HOT PURRSUIT!"
I picked characters I'm very comfortable drawing so I wouldn't trip at the starting line, but I'm not locked into Sally specifically. If I have other ideas or you guys give suggestions (should this become a reality), then that could happen too. Would have to be characters I'm used to drawing, though.
The "Hot Purrsuit" idea is one where Sally's hungry and chases Sam all around the place. Cartoonish shenanigans occur, like Sally popping out of small things she has no way to logically fit inside to snap up Samantha, and Sam getting away until the very end when Sally does something to keep her in her belly once and for all (I'm thinking a huge belch or drinking something to settle her stomach).
"Roomie Wanted" is about Sally getting "fed up" with a bunch of roomates, then advertising for new ones as the previous ones are digesting. The denouement is where she eats her landlady.
"A Gut Feeline" is where Sally swallows Sam pretty early on and goes about her day as Sam bounces around inside of her, similar to that "Sallytoon and Samtoon" thing I posted somewhat recently. Only animated.
Those are all ideas for a full-length cartoon, but they could be cut down considerably to 2-3 minutes or so. I just think they'd be less fun that way, as they'd have to be high-octane pacing the whole way through.
Which brings me to the question I wanted to ask: Is stuff like this interesting to you, and, more specifically, interesting enough for you to donate monthly to justify them happening? Because I'd fucking LOVE to do a cartoon, but it's a giant undertaking, and it'd cut into time I'm actually making money during the month, so I'd have to hit at least $100 a month on my Patreon to be able to justify spending time on any of this.
Alternatively, would you just like to see me do small animations more frequently? Like, a bunch of different sub-one-minute ideas I'd let Patrons vote on, and I'd try to get one done each month. Obviously if I did that, it would put any plans I have for longer-form cartoons on indefinite hiatus, but it might be easier to manage.
So I'm putting up a poll. You can tick multiple boxes if you think you'd be willing and able to donate monthly to my animation aspirations. If you can't donate or don't care, please tick the last option. Don't worry: It's an anonymous poll and I won't be offended. I just want to know if this is a feasible option or if I should just leave Patreon the way it is now.
If you want to explain your vote or give input (maybe other ideas, either for monetization or for animations themselves), feel free in the comments below.

I think sally and sam would be perfect characters for a short cartoon series.

Hm...I'm kinda "all of the above," but on further reflection I could totally raise my pledge at least a few dollars without putting my financial plans at risk in any way. Might depend on how tomorrow goes, though.
Unfortunately I came to that decision AFTER clicking "can't afford to donate," so...subtract one from that and add one to the other three.
$100 a month on Patreon to make it happen, you're at $58...that's not a huge leap to be made.

Oh thanks a bunch, then! Wasn't expecting current Patrons to up their pledes. :O
But noted!

I really love how you've drawn these, and I can totally see you doing a cartoon, especially in this style. I'm afraid, I can't do anything to donate, but I hope you get it done, because, like I said, I really could see you doing a full length cartoon.
Side note: I hope you don't mind me saying this, but coincidentally, I actually came up with a similar animation idea to "Hot Purrsuit" as a future animation involving my character - basically the stuff about being chased all over the place, and the pred appearing from unrealistic places, and my character actually being eaten at the end of it. I hope you don't mind, but it will be ages before I complete this anyway, because I can barely even draw at the moment, let alone animate.

Of course I don't mind if you do something like that. It's not like my idea is original either. The only things that're different from a bunch of cartoons I've seen are the small details and the fact that the pred wins in the end.

Sorry I'm late, but thank you. I'm pleased that you're okay with me doing that.

Sure thing. :)

"Roomie wanted, inquire within!" Damn that's a good pun, I wish I thought of it
