Changes to Character Suggestions (Patreon)

Now that the recent voting poll is over, I wanted to modify the way I handle character suggestions for voting polls. In order to cut back on my workload, I won't be able to preemptively promise to draw three pictures as non-paid exclusive works from here on out. Just don't have the time to do so, plus I'm not doing well enough to afford to do so. Plus they still kinda take a bit too long to do, so I wanted to try and fix that a bit. 

Anyway, what I'm going to do is create a list of character suggestions that will be open at all times. What I'd like for my patrons to do is to suggest characters they'd like to see drawn regardless of the theme involved. The suggestions will work the same way they do now (in terms of the number of characters, keeping characters separate or together, and TF preference). They can also be changed at any time by contacting me via comments or messages.

Basically, what I'm going to do is this: any time I want to hold a voting poll to determine a character to be drawn, I'll pick twelve choices from the pile of suggested characters (4 from the Grand, Huge, and Giant tiers). I'll announce when I intend to do so a few days before the voting starts so that anyone who wants to change their suggestion can do so. The characters in a suggestion poll won't change regardless of a poll's results, however if a character has already won or I've drawn them recently, I'll be less likely to choose them for another poll anytime soon, so that's something to keep in mind. I'll be posting a link to the suggestion pool sometime today based on the suggestions from the last voting poll. If you'd like the change your suggestion, please let me know. 

Needless to say, with this change, I won't be holding three rounds of voting character suggestion polls and they'll all be patron-exclusive. What's more, the resulting pictures can vary between paid posts and non-paid exclusive posts. One thing I will keep, however, is that patrons of higher tiers will have a bigger influence on the voting polls. Rather than voting from two polls, patrons of higher tiers will get more links to vote from, which means they'll be able to vote multiple times (for example, someone from the "Giant" tier would be able to vote for four different characters or on character four times). I'll most likely do this for several different polls rather than suggestion polls. 

I believe that's all for the changes to character suggestions. I'll be updating the Patreon guide pages later on. If you have any questions, leave a comment or send me a message.
