Mostly usual rules: multiple choice, top 2 (3 if close on votes) will be drawn right after Norendber, parallel to Action Toys. All sketches outside of winners can be developed in a more quick and un-polished way right after the poll (Norendber). After Norendber some sketches will transit to next poll.
For newcomers: I didn't find a protected way to do mass polls outside of Patreon, so despite that Patreon poll is not very comfortable and can't hold more then 25 variants, I still gonna use it.
Poll will end in November.
This time I have too many sketches, and didn't want to split poll into three parts, so I cut some sketches off: 1) only 7 top voted pictures from the last poll; 2) I cutted some sketches that wouldn't win anyway, or would not ended up in top 10 and are not fit for Norendber. There were some decent ones out, it wasn't an easy decision. If your sketch didn't ended up in a poll - sorry!
This year competition is pretty tough =)

And some quick explanation of what Norendber is and how I select pictures to draw for it:
I very slow artist when I work in my usual style, so to compensate once a year for a month or two I switch to more sketchy style and draw as many pictrures as I can. So if you frustrated with my "1 picture in a month" schedule - this is a feast for you. Some years ago I tried to color a picture in a day, but later decided to not limit myself and just draw it until it's properly finished, which granted better results overall.
Sketches I pick is selected by:
- firstly: it should do good enough in this polls, and be at least in the top half of it. More votes - the more chances I will pick it.
-secondly: I should personally like it. Nuff said, if I like picture, then I can pour more of my love, care and degeneracy into it.
-also there are third criteria: since the moto of Norendber is "quantity over quality" the less time sketch is required to draw - more chances I will select it. So, all else being equal, 1-char sketches have priority over 2-char, which is better then 3 or 4; sketches with complicated posses, background, anatomy that need fixing and etc. have slight disadvantage over simpler ones. So don't be surprised if some really good idea stays untouched - I probably decided that they are require full picture treatment instead of quick one.
