Poll 59 Results (Patreon)

It was pretty close to start with, but then some leaders started to emerge and took the W. Congrats to Itto! He will be getting a nice new picture when I can catch up enough to get to this term. I'll be posting a schedule of pictures for my catchup shortly to get everyone updated.
A little note of awkwardness and a flub on my part for anyone who wants to read:
Long story short, I wanted new characters for the poll. I accepted Itto into the poll knowing I had intentions and ideas for him, but nothing started. Ran into issues on a current wip for the next term I am catching up on. Decided to start a new picture with an idea I've had for a while that included Itto (after the poll had already started) and I like it enough that I'm going forward with it instead.
Realized it would be awkward that I wanted new characters and started a picture for someone already in the poll during the prelim, and then of course Itto gained more votes, moved on to the final, and now he's won lol. Was hoping someone else would edge him out, but too many people are horny for oni 😔
Considered delaying my wip, but it's not a solo piece so I don't wanna take away from the actual Itto pic. It's my bad for allowing Itto into the poll with intentions to draw him, but at that point I hadn't started anything. I feel guilty that he won instead of another character who hasn't been drawn. Though in reality, although Itto won the May 2022 poll, it will be some time before I catch up to present in my backlog of pictures, so we'll have a while in between.
But yeah, sorry about that. And the lengthy explanation.
TLDR we're getting 2 Itto pictures in next months instead of 1.
