-THE WAITING TIME CAN BE AS LONG AS 10 WEEKS -

Quick links:

-How does this work?

For all Patrons in the 10$ and up, I will draw (daily) a sketch request. It can either be regular or colored. You get one sketch per cycle (or month if a cycle happens to be shorter than 30 days) as long as you keep your pledge active.

Patrons in the 5$ tier can now vote in polls. Search for them using the tag filter menu when browsing this profile page ("pollentry" to submit and "poll" to vote)

-What is a cycle?

A cycle means I cycle through all the active users ONCE and draw whatever sketch they've requested.

-How long does a cycle last?

A cycle lasts until all active users have had their sketches drawn by me. A cycle cannot be shorter than a month, but can be longer than a month. Expect it to last about 9-10 weeks. Yes, that is about two months and a half worth of pledges for one reward, keep that in mind, please.

-When does a cycle start/end?

A cycle starts when a new contest winner is announced. Winning a contest doesn't count as having a request sketches drawn for that cycle (you simply get a free color upgrade!)

-How is the order of a cycle determined?

Chronological, the first one that made a request (lifetime) is the first to get their stuff drawn. If you pledge now you will be at the bottom of the queue. If you want to know when your sketch is going to be drawn, contact me. I cannot link the queue page from here.

-Why did the order change for me?

If you drop your pledge then you drop your place in the queue (as in legitimately dropping, not just a minor setback in which case you can just message me about, like credit card not going through and similar issues). The onyl mean to climb up the queue again is to be constant with your pledges and wait until other users drop their own. Your requests will still be saved even if you drop out and becomes active as long as your pledge reactivates (in which case you'd better hit me up with a message because notifications cannot be trusted much).

-What is this "contest" thing?

The regular [10$ tier] sketch that gets the most LIKES (hearts) during that cycle, gets a free color upgrade. This upgrade doesn't count anymore as getting a sketch for the new cycle, so you can still make a request on the same cycle (basically you get the picture upgrade for free and you still get to request another sketch).

-What kind of characters can I request?

Please limit your request to humans. I still accept some semi-humans characters (like animal ears/tails as long as they preserve human anatomy and faces/limbs). I accept male only pictures but I am not so motivated to put much effort in them (sorry). If females are involved it's just better overall.

-How do I make a request and where?

Important: you cannot make a request too close to the end of a cycle. More on that below.

You must write a comment in the appropriate section. Remember to add the [color] tag is your request is a colored one. You can still request lower tier sketches if you wish so. You can also make more than one request per time, if you do that please post them in separate comments in the appropriate section.

-Can I edit my request or Patreon name after I've posted the description?

You can, but you mustnotify me with a message. Patreon doesnt notify me of any changes you make on your comments or nicknames. As far as comments are concerned, it's just better to delete your old one and re-write it.

-I've pledged for some time but I never requested anything. Can I still get all the sketches I pledged for?

No, these sketches are rewards for active patrons only, not a commission. You do not get a refund on skipped cycles. It's your duty to remember to post a description before the cycle ends or to keep your pledge active until I've reached your sketch request.

-Why didn't you draw my request?

It's possible that you have dropped your pledge before I got to draw your sketch. However, there's a slight chance that Patreon might have glitched, therefore not notifying me of any new comment. If you have any doubt, please contact me and if it's just the infamous bug I'll just draw your stuff that I've skipped. This happened only twice so far out of 900+ requests, so it's still rare.

-Can I drop in a request anytime?

Yes, you can, but if it's too close to the end of a cycle, it will not get drawn (it will be saved in a separate queue and added in the main one later). If you need to know about the cycle progression, when your turn is coming and when it's about to end, please message me about it and I'll tell you all the details. Right now the lock limit is set to 5 remaining users. If your request comes in when there are 5 or less users left in the queue, it will not be drawn and you will need to wait for the next cycle.

If you still have any question, please comment here and I will update this post with more informations.
