1) TO CHOOSE THE PRIVACY OF A SHIMEJI COMMISSION:
Until now, I've let you decide to make a Shimeji Commission downloadable or not. You just had to pay more to make it private, this was of course to make up for the less exposure for me with it. But this will change from now on if you don't fit some conditions.
Before explaining the conditions, let's remind the different download options. Just have in mind that the more restrictions, the more expensive:
1) [PUBLIC] Downloadable by everyone.
2) [FOR PATRONS] Downloadable through small payment or by Patrons.
3) [NOT DOWNLOADABLE] Not downloadable but making public the animated actions.
4) [PRIVATE] Not downloadable and totally secret.
CONDITIONS ABOUT PRIVACY:
a) You must be the owner of the character (or to have permission from the real owner) to add download restrictions at all.
b) If you are not the owner of the character (for example Pikachu), at least one download link MUST be Public. This means that a version of the 14 default actions will be downloadable for everyone. If there are extra actions, the commissioner is who decides if people can download it or not but a default version will exist yes or yes if you choose to add restrictions.
c) If your character is an OC of a copyrighted species (for example a Pikachu with star-shaped cheeks), a non-OC version may be made and posted publicly. The commissioner is who decides if people can download the OC version or not but a default version of the official character will exist if I think is worth it to make.
All this will apply from now on, the older commissions won't be affected by this because most of the commissioners are not even in dA anymore so I can't contact them.

2) COMPLEXITY OF THE SHIMEJI:
I already said this on Patreon many times but I want to say it here as well to make it official. I will NOT accept Extreme Shimeji anymore. If I will, it will be for being a special project, for a friend, or basically as an exception.
This doesn't just include the "Extreme" difficulty in the quote... Basically means that if I think a Shimeji will take months to be made (too many extra actions, too much custom stuff or whatever), I won't take the commission. Is just not worth it neither for you or for me, I prefer to do 10 fast-to-do Shimeji than one of the ultraslow-to-make...
This will make it easier for me to work with your Commissions, so the slots will rotate much faster, will also be more dynamic for you all about the dA and Patreon content, and in general I think everything will flow much more easily than now.
You still want a Shimeji with lots of actions? Don't worry, there is a way. First you will commission the default 14 actions and afterwards with another slot to add more stuff. This method will make slots rotate faster so just get ready and catch another for adding a bit of extra stuff to your Shimeji. Is just to do it in more than one time rather than occupying the same slot for months. We can talk about how to split the work, don't worry. I will hear all your ideas and find the the best way for both!

3) PATREON POSSIBLE EDIT OF TIERS:
I would love to add a new reward for all the tiers in both Patreon accounts.
THE VOTING POWER.
What does this mean? It means that the higher your tier is, the most important will your votes be in the polls. Allow me to explain further. Imagine we have to vote for a Starter Pokémon: Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur.
- DeviantArt would get a Poll, but EACH vote from there will has a value as just 1 point.
- Cachomon Patreon will get a Poll, and ALL the votes from there will have value of $+1. If your pledge is of 1$, your vote will value as 1+1=2 points. If your pledge is of 5$, your vote will value 5+1=6 points!
- BlackCachomon Patreon will also get a Poll, and will work the same way as the Cachomon Patreon.
Once I close the Poll, I will add up all the votes and announce the winner option which would be the next shimeji to be made. This method may be applied to choose the next Shimeji, but also to decide other important stuff. Your votes can make a difference! Also, not all Polls will be in deviantArt so if you want to make a difference feel free to join into Patreon!

4) THE POKÉDEX SHIMEJI PROJECT:
This will be a reality guys, so be ready for it hehehe. I don't know when will officially start but I remind you that in August I will work on the perfect Eevee Shimeji (the donations campaign of this one will start very soon).
Still, there are some things to have in mind for this project:
a) People will be who chooses the next Pokémon, via POLLS like I explained above.
It wouldn't be a single Poll though, we may need some to reach a result. We may start by what generation you want (if Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, ...), we may continue by groups from that specific generation (starters, legendaries, eeveelutions, ...), and then finally talking about species or family of species to reach a precise result. Something I may even do is a Poll where you can say directly which Pokémon so I can make a Poll with some of the options people said.
b) These Shimeji will be paid via donations and Patron pledges. The exact method will be explained when it's 100% decided or in every campaign.
c) These will be all PUBLIC, so free to download. But of course, I can't launch something publicly that is not fully paid, so it will remain as "for Patrons only" until the campaign of that exact Pokémon gets all the funds needed like with other campaigns I've made (Like the Lion King cubs one. Nala is made, but she is not paid, so she is not Public yet).
d) What if someone wants a NSFW version of that Pokémon? There will be a Goal for that. If we reach a certain amount of cash, those will be made. To make these I will go for the animaloid way. If that Pokémon is a dog, I won't make him human bits... And also, these will just be a NSFW- version, so just naturism.
e) What if someone wants a DIFFERENT NSFW version of that Pokémon? Someone may want different kind of stuff as for genitals. For example to attach human bits instead of animaloid, not having them flacid all the time, whatever. Those people will have to get a Slot and commission the NSFW version of it. Either male, female or both can be made in the same slot. Also, if someone wants to pay along with some friends it's fine! If I have to reveive X, it can be paid with as many people as you want to reach it! No problem there, I would add all your names in the credits of course! (unless you want to be annonymous, but say that beforehand to avoid mistakes!)
f) What if someone wants EXTRA actions for these Pokémon? People can just wait for a slot and treat it as a normal commission. Doesn't mind if they are SFW or NSFW extra actions, will be treated the same way, like to decide if Private, Public, or whatever~
g) Will these Pokémon evolve? Yes.
This doesn't mean that I will do a full Pokémon family at the same time. But if I am doing Cyndaquil, I will already put an evolving action into Quilava. And the day I will do the Quilava Shimeji, I will link their code to allow the Evolution! You want Quilava but you don't care about Cyndaquil or Typhlosion? Don't worry, the current Shimeji code already allows that if you play with the menu options. You can always ask me how if you can't find it!

5) MY SHIMEJI WEBSITE:
You may have heard of this! And yes, it's real! KilkakonOfficial is doing his bestest to make real my Shimeji website. It will have ALL the Shimeji I've ever made, all the information you will need to know, useful links you may need, tutorials, EVERYTHING!
This website is still under construction but the idea is that you won't have to deal with AdFly or similars anymore. There will be friendly banners in the sides that will not disturb your experience.
Here you can see more or less how it will look like: prntscr.com/nzvbtx
Until then, please be patient.
