September! Thank-you, updates and VOTE! (Patreon)
Content
I also feel like it's been a while since I've given an extended thank-you. To all of you, seriously, every tier. In-Patreon support and out, in streams and galleries, I'm humbled with your continued funding of my work and I just want to say this because every so often I worry; I worry that I'm not putting as much out, or as high of quality as you guys deserve. I don't ever want to fall into the trap of taking it for granted, or becoming content with my progress and then degrading or going stale. I can always improve.
I just hope I make your pledges worthwhile, and I am always open to feedback about them, just PM me, I do want to be known as an artist who is just trying their best to operate a non-paywall Patreon open mindedly. That's my goal anyway. Let me know what you like to see from me, what you don't, what you want to see more of. Squeaky wheels get grease. I want to please! I try to balance quantity and quality with a mix of sketch-comic-hd I have going, but I always want to know if I'm leaning too far in one certain direction or not enough in others.
For September: I plan on working on the ARA daki as my side-project for the month. I'm moving out of state in a few days but I want to get working on that ASAP and have both the files, and pre-orders for those who want a physical one, posted.
Now for the pinup votes! Ahnassi joins the roster from the waitlist. A very minor character from Morrowind ( http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ahnassi ), I'm not sure how much attention she'll gather, but hey, Khajiit power!
=================
How voting works:
I make a roster of characters to choose from for my primary artwork each month. Each level of pledge gets a different number of votes, and you guys pick what I end up doing! Rules are...
=================
Votes:
-The roster keeps it's vote count from month to month.
-1$ Patreons get one(1) vote to spend. 5$ get two(2), 10$ get three(3), 25$ get ten(10), but can only put a maximum of 5 on one given character.
-Multiple votes can be on one character, or split up between several, to a maximum of 3.
-You can vote after it ends, but it won't be added til after the winner is decided.
-Votes only count if your pledge processed that month. If your pledge is declined, I will put the votes "on hold", and add them later if the pledge goes through. Likewise, If the pledge doesn't go through, the votes aren't counted. I check all votes for number and pledge accuracy.
-If your pledge is worth more votes than you use, say a 10$ tier patron casting only 1 vote, I will automatically assign all 3 votes to that one vote. If they vote "1 for character A and 1 for character B", then I will pick myself either A or B to receive the unassigned 3rd available vote.
Add/Remove Character Rules:
-Fandom and Other OCs will be removed when won.
-FK OCs will go on a cooldown and I'll decide when to put them back up.
Slots:
-$5 and up patrons can suggest new characters in the comments section. I can turn down a character suggestion, but please don't take it personally! I will only do this when I -really- can't see myself enjoying the subject or for some other reason I reserve the right to.
-'Artist's Choice' and 'FK OCs' slots won't follow strikes, and instead are added/removed as I deem desired or necessary. They could be other's OCs, fandom characters that haven't been suggested that I'd love to do... etc. A free-form nomination category. Can still be characters supporters suggest!
Strikes:
-If a character receives LESS than four (4) people voting on them each month, they will get a strike.
-Three(3) strikes total removes them from the roster. They can be re-nominated, and if accepted, will then be put at the end of the current waitlist.
- If a character gets struck out on a month you voted for them, you're refunded said votes, and can re-cast for another character. The winner will have already been picked but at least the votes wouldn't feel 'wasted'.
-Passing 100 votes nulls the strike system for that character.
