July starts, vote here! (Patreon)

Hey folks, actually typing this in the dealer's room at Anthrocon. I have the PM and ZIP links ready to send out shortly, will have to do that tonight or tomorrow but I'm pretty happy with how June went, minus the time it took to try and get prepared for this con with books and prints. Page 6 of Ayn's comic is about halfway done, will have to wrap it up once I return, and start bouncing ideas around with you guys for whatever's next.

I'm also planning on making slight changes to the vote and stream to help folks but i'll make separate posts about those. Currently, I have no real rules set up for re-introducing characters I've already drawn to the pinup vote board. But I sat here trying to think of who in the heck I wanted to draw for the open slot in "Artist's Choice", and thought, well.. it IS called "Artist's Choice" so who do I -want- to draw? And well, I want to draw Isabelle again. I just love her to bits, haha. I have no excuse. We'll see if others want to see me try her again.

For now, start to let me know what your votes are!

=================

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 four.

-$5 and up Patrons: Your votes can be on one character, or split up between a few.

-You can vote after it ends, but it will be counted next month.

-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...

-...But FK OCs will go on a six(6)-month cooldown MINIMUM, after which they will be vote-able again. I'll pick when I want to throw them up there again.

Open slots:

- Open Slots can be filled by $5+ Patreons simply suggesting a new one when votes open. You have to spend at least one of your votes on this character when you suggest them on an Open Slot. If it doesn't go up, or goes on a wait list, you can put your vote to something else. 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.

- If there is an open slot, and multiple people make a character suggestion, I will default to the patron with the highest lifetime Patreon support. The other suggestion will go on a waitlist.

-Open Slots under 'Artist's Choice' won't follow strikes or anything, and instead are added/removed as I deem desired or necessary. 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 3 people voting on them each month, they will get a strike. They won't lose votes, but they need at least 3 people voting.

-Three(3) strikes total removes them from the roster, but they can always be re-added later.

-50 votes will remove any strikes and prevent future ones.
