Thumbnail question, also a YouTube related announcement :)
Added 2022-03-08 12:24:34 +0000 UTCHello Patreon people! I just sent a whole bunch of footage off to Lovely Editor Tess for the video which will have...well...one of these thumbnails, probably. Unsure as to whether the ugly armour or Henry Cavill will work better...probably Henry Cavill but I'm considering it.
This is also the week I am going to launch my YouTube Channel Memberships! (Those of you who come to the monthly livestreams are probably thinking FINALLY JILL and you are not wrong)
The Patreon is staying exactly where it is, so don't worry, Channel Memberships are just an extra option for Patreon-shy people.
I'm going to do one or maybe two tiers there: early access to the extended videos (aka the $3 tier) and access at a later point to the extended videos (aka the tier below that)
This video has extra parts dotted through it, which I haven't done in a couple of months, so I'm excited about that!
I am only covering one of the 30 or so armour requests I got in this video, but fear not, we'll get to them all in a more efficient fashion soon. But sometimes one just needs to...stare at pictures of Henry Cavill and draw arrows on them for a bit?
I'm not quite sure where I was going with that sentence. Anyway, I'm not sure when this video is coming out, but I'll keep you up to date. Hope you're all doing well!

2022-03-09 08:17:26 +0000 UTC"Ah Henry, men want to be him, women want to draw arrows towards him." I'm stealing that joke, I just want you to know. :)

2022-03-09 08:16:54 +0000 UTCI much prefer looking at Cavill than someone in armor that looks like a... Raisin, let's go with raisin But raisin man might prove your point better

2022-03-08 17:05:50 +0000 UTCMuch less ambiguous now! Thank you. :)

2022-03-08 15:35:14 +0000 UTCJill: thanks for changing the wording. MUCH clearer!

2022-03-08 15:33:53 +0000 UTCA collaboration between you and Henry would be excellent. And perhaps not too far fetched. He doesn't live that far away and you did manage to convince Tom Scott to let you throw him through a window. Ah Henry, men want to be him, women want to draw arrows towards him.

2022-03-08 15:00:03 +0000 UTCI re-read it after I posted and thought...wait, is this ambiguous? I shall change it :D
Jill Bearup
2022-03-08 14:56:20 +0000 UTCYou too :)
Jill Bearup
2022-03-08 14:55:38 +0000 UTCI wish I could get Henry to re-pose though :D
Jill Bearup
2022-03-08 14:55:33 +0000 UTCYeah, I read it like that, too. Got a bit worried for a minute!

2022-03-08 13:21:32 +0000 UTCI'm going to shrug and say I don't really care for either. I'm more interested in the armor analysis.

2022-03-08 13:18:44 +0000 UTCIt might be misconstrued by some unfamiliar with you and your excellent content that you in some way disapprove of Mr Cavill. When I believe your disapproval in the other pic is much more justified 😉
2022-03-08 13:06:56 +0000 UTCwere you asking us for our take on the thumbnail? I actually like the first one slightly better. But for clickbait purposes, pics of Henry Cavill are a safe bet.

2022-03-08 13:02:35 +0000 UTCI'm going to go against the grain and say go with Cahir. He was one of the most interesting things about season two of The Witcher. Sidenote, I saw 'this patreon is going nowhere' and it took me a minute to realise you meant, "it isn't going away," and not, "it isn't accomplishing anything so I need another other revenue stream." English is a quirky little language, innit.

2022-03-08 12:59:03 +0000 UTCSomeone said of Henry Cavill that "he grimes up well." Clean-shaven and in a suit - boring. Add just the right amount of sweat and dirt and the ladies swoon.
Anders
2022-03-08 12:53:38 +0000 UTCDEFINITELY go for the click bait!
Ann Brookens
2022-03-08 12:33:34 +0000 UTCDefinitely Henry Cavill. That other guy just looks weird. Is that really armor he's wearing? It's so...rumpled looking. It's a cold 6:25 AM here in Illinois but at least it's not snowing! Hope you have a great day, Jill!
Ann Brookens
2022-03-08 12:30:10 +0000 UTCI'm not suggesting you would ever stoop to click-bait but in a choice between Henry Cavill and 'might-be-a-zombie-man' I think Henry will attract more viewers. One tiny comment is that the lighting colour temp is not well balanced between the image of you and Henry, it's also clearly coming from your left but more straight on to Henry. You probably can't get Henry to re-pose but perhaps take another image of you with colder more direct lighting?
