LL Request Shots (Patreon)

With the conclusion of the recent LL Snapbacks poll, I'm gonna hold off on the next one for a bit. That said, I want to try something that I've been putting together recently. I've been asked a few times here and there whether I'm taking commissions, and since I'm not for who knows how long, the only alternative is to take part in voting polls on my Patreon. However, because most of the voting polls I make follow a certain theme, they lack a lot of patron input outside of character picks. On top of that, the character picks revolved largely around the whims of majority vote. 

So, I wanted to try something out that gives patrons a bit more input into the specifics of a picture and is a bit fairer than a voting poll. In contrast to the Lusty Lamp Snapbacks, which features favorites of past Snapzine guests by the masses, this features new guests in favor of individuals: Lusty Lamp Request Shots! The primary concept of this centers around a “photo request board” similar to a job board or an ad page. This means that the pictures will all take place at the Lusty Lamp Resort (which at this point means the main hotel, the Genie’s Palace) and most of the characters will act as if they’re actually taking a picture (similar to those featured in the LL Snapback photos). The way they’ll fit the requirements of the requests will also revolve around the special features of the resort (the Plush Push Doors, CIT Lights, or Enchantavators).

As you might have guessed, the way this works is that patrons make requests, which I will then pick via random wheel or whatever strikes my fancy in particular. However, there are some rules that need to be followed and limits on what people can ask for. Most of these are tied to patron tiers with the higher tiers having more options. So to start, here’s what I will be looking for with these “photo requests.” Obviously, anything I have issues with will be handled on a case-by-case basis:

• Size, Shape, Species, etc. Since my modus operandi revolves around growth and transformation pictures, just list the specifics of the body type you want to see. Are they a catgirl, do they have multiple boobs, do their breasts reach their knees? Stuff like that. I’ll talk more on clothing a bit later. Aside from that, there’s no limit on what you can ask for in terms of what the character will look like, though you should consult my old commission guide for a list of “Do’s” and “Don’ts.” I do want to stress that, while I’ll try to include everything, I’m not particularly concerned with fitting it all into a picture. For example, if someone asked for “room sized breasts”, I’d draw a back view of the character with a wall of flesh that would obviously be her boobs. This doesn’t mean that I won’t allow people to ask for super sized proportions (rather this is the best time to do so). I just want to avoid any super zoom out shots. 
• Character(s) featured. This is pretty self explanatory. Characters can be based on existing characters from series or original characters (with references included as well as a general idea on their personality). In the event that no character(s) is specified, I’ll either pick from the voting suggestion list or pick a character at random (I have a very long list to choose from). Only one character in a multi character picture needs to have a TF occur to them. The rest do not. Also, background characters do not count toward the character limit (nor can you request specific BG characters). Lastly, conjoinment TFs count as multiple characters while fusions count as a single character. 
• SFW or NSFW. Ok, technically everything I do is considered NSFW by normal standards, but this is referring to passive versus blatant erotica. One example is a character who’s mostly clothed versus a character who’s outright naked or exposing themselves. In terms of actions, anything that doesn’t feature a blowjob or penetration is considered SFW to me. To be honest, this is less of a requirement to me and more of a requirement to the character(s) involved. Some (I feel) will try to take a nice picture despite the embarrassment while others will try and be as sexy as possible no matter what. In fact, there is actually no way to request SFW. It’s either “this character is free to do whatever they please” versus “MAKE IT SEXY!!!”

Only one of these three are needed for a request to be valid. All requests will remain on the list until it wins. What’s more, requests can be modified anytime. You may not, however, choose to modify your request after it’s picked. I'll explain further down what happens if all three option aren’t included. Now, as for what patrons are allowed to request, here’s how it stands according to tier level:

• Big Tier: can specify the specifics of what the character looks like (Size, Shape, Species, etc).
• Grand Tier: can specify a specific guest (character) to be featured.
• Huge Tier: can specify up to two guests (characters) to be featured.
• Giant Tier: Can specify up to four guests featured and can choose whether the picture needs to be NSFW or not (or at least as SFW as it can be…)

The way I’ll pick photo requests will be either by random wheel or my choosing, though usually it will be the former. All requests will be given one slot, however, just like the voting suggestion list, there are ways to boost one’s request so that it has a higher chance of being chosen. They are:

• Not making use of all options given. For example, if a patron of the Giant tier only decides on the theme and a single character, because they didn’t make use of the multiple character or NSFW options, their request gains two more slots (three in total). 
• Utilizing a Lusty Lamp feature in their request. So if a Big tier patron asks for "massive" sized breasts by way of the Plush Push Doors, they gain one extra slot (two in total). 
• Requesting a character from an existing series that hasn’t shown up in the Lusty Lamp. This does not include original characters.
• Requesting or including Tygra, Roxanne, DeeDee, or OxRock in the request (more characters will be available later). The specifics of what happens to my characters has to be run by me, though I'm pretty sure that most people won't intentionally make them do anything worse than what I would. I mean, if you've kept up with my works, you'll  realize that some of my characters (mainly Tygra) will make the picture NSFW no matter what.  Also, OxRock does not count as an character, but does have to be involved with one of the characters. 

Stack points can be use to either give a patron more options than their tier allows (up to Giant tier privileges) or to boost their suggestion (up to 10 times). The stack points remain valid until the request is chosen. Please contact me whenever you want to use stack points.

Regarding patrons and/or characters who win multiple times, neither cannot win twice in a row. Furthermore, for character that win multiple times, there needs to be something different each time they win whether it’s the location, the character’s appearance, or their actions. Most likely, this will need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. 

I think that should be it regarding all the rules to LL Request Shots. I’ll post up all the rules in another Patreon guide later. I've also updated the BEnchmark Reward List. Please send your requests to me via private messaging. I’ll be posting up the list of request as well, though I will keep the patrons who make the requests anonymous until they win (or in general if they desire it). 

Oh, and just a reminder that this is exclusive to current patrons who have successfully pledged to my Patreon (just the word “request” has me expecting a lot of people asking for them out of nowhere). The first rolling will take place in March, so there’s still three paid posts to go before then!

That’s all for now!
