(DISCUSSION POST) Aka Jintan NEEDS your help

Okay I'm literally abusing my Patreon powers in where a character limit doesn't exist unlike how batshit useless Twitter is for actual discussions. 

This is going to be a really long post, but I'm literally on my hands and knees begging for you to give me your attention and opinion on this, it's like mommy coming to her 5 year old daughter, completely fucked up and drunk and asking her daughter for help on doing the taxes. It's insane, confusing, and a little bit scary! 

I'm actually asking you, YES YOU. YOU READING THIS. For your advice on this shit. Yes I VALUE YOUR OPINION. TELL ME!!!!! 

So I'm presenting my issues to you, let me explain. So Style A is something I literally came up with this week and it was an inspiration of seeing people do basically bust-shots of charms, you can see this one that directly inspired me making my own cinnamoroll Miku. I thought that it was so cute that I wanted to try something like that too!!!!! But here's the second part of the issue.

Every single fucking charm I've made to date (which is like I'm not even shitting you like 59+ charm designs) are of style C.
Style C is my longest-to-date charm style that I've basically been rendering since 2021. So of course all of my stuff would be of that style. It's KIND OF TOUGH? Because I go to conventions and going to conventions they want you to have a lot of stock for a lot of different characters, so it'd be hard for me to discontinue a whole bunch of them right off the bat. But recently I've really been getting into a fondness of Style B. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm going to spread my palms out and show you the magic and admit it to you. Style C has a much easier base to work with. It essentially works with the basic bases and you just switch around a little bit of the anatomy to work with. Style B is more elaborate and you have to really think about the anatomy of a chibi in order to make it work out nicer, it's going to be kinda boring for them all to be standing statically. But even so, I think that people like Style C just fine - I mean shit, it's kind of a classic at this point, you know? There's been so many different characters made in that style that at this point it works and it's basically shown to have work. 

But hey, why would we strive for basic if it's God telling Einstein that the lightbulb can potentially be better than the stick that he's burning every night, right? 

But here's the issue, people like different things!!!!! So I'm sitting here wondering, good lord: so people like style A, style B and style C. Well then. What do? 

And that's the disaster. I don't have a god damn clue! I like all of them!

Here's my pro and con list for all of them:

STYLE A (Bust-up)

• PRO: Captures my style that's not a chibi
• CON: Really fucking random because I don't have non-chibi charms
• CON: Hard to keep the consistency across bust-ups as well due to sizing, etc.

STYLE B (Chibi - 2023)

• PRO: More dynamics and better proportion of a chibi (less boxy)
• CON: Due to not having a stable base that's easily copy pastable into diff chibis it's really easy to make different chibis look fucked up and out of place 
• CON: Takes 2-3x the amount of time to make than style C 

STYLE C (Chibi - 2021~2022)

• PRO: Very easy for me to make and churn out in a quick manner 
• PRO: Very consistent and has been proven to succeed at conventions either way despite the simplicity 
• CON: Static-y and I don't really quite enjoy the proportions as much anymore (personal opinion)

So in this way, my issue is being presented: 

I kind of like all styles for all sorts of reasons, but I'm wondering if it's spreading my net way too wide and if it's going to create issues down the line in terms of consistency or what I'm able to offer in terms of consumerism. A lot of the times I do wonder if it's bad to have such a large variety of styles across so many different variations of series, because what if this certain character (say Bocchi for example) would have been better made for a chibi? And I made her into a bust-up? Or should I just make 2 of the same character? And if I make a "SET" like CSM, what if Makima is better made as a bust-up and Power is better made as Style B and Denji is better made as Style C? It doesn't make sense! So set's have to be done in a certain style so that it makes sense... 

Is it weird to have like a store with so many different styles? Or what if you saw this at a convention? Would you be disappointed to see a favorite character in a style that's different than what you wanted? (Eg: seeing idk Sumire as a chibi when you wanted her as a bust-up) I'm just wondering if I'm offering too much and confusing myself because at this point I literally wouldn't know which character would be suited for which style since at this point I'm making too many varieties.

AAAHHHH HELP???:? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR OPINIONS AND WHAT UR THINKING ABOUT PLS HELP IM SO CONFUSED
