Future Pin-up Rewards (Patreon)

Currently we have reached TWO new pin-up reward levels this month and I am thinking about handling them a bit differently than before.

The first two pin-ups will still be done by polls and voting, as they have in the past, one Parody and one Original.

The third pin-up ($450 Goal) will be handled a bit differently. I am planning on having this replace the $10 Bonus Pin-up, but will still be a reward for $10+ backers, just in a different way. 

Now, each $10+ backer will get to nominate a single sketch of mine and one will be selected to ink and color. Only $10+ backers will be able to nominate, but the pin-ups will no longer be exclusive to that reward tier.

The reasoning behind this? First, I would like to have less stuff locked behind a paywall.  Second, the $10+ bonus pin-up I was doing each month was never calculated into the rewards bonuses. I was simply doing it in addition to funded bonuses in an attempt to give higher pledges more value. I hope this new system will still give value. 

The sketches nominated can be any of my sketches, whether from Sketch Request Lotteries, or just sketches I have posted on my site.

Just like with the Sketch Request Lottery, I will post a new thread each month to take nominations.

The last pin-up reward ($600 Goal), assuming we maintain it after all pledges are processed, will be a "Flex slot." It will basically be up to my personal choice as to what I wish to ink and color.  This may be a previous sketch, it may be an all new pic, it may be a second option chosen from the list of $10+ nominations, I may ask higher reward levels for suggestions.  Basically, I want a little more room to be creative and work on things that appeal to me personally.

We'll try this new system for a bit and see how it goes.

If anyone has feedback or suggestions of things I may have overlooked, feel free to chime in.

TLDR:

$450 Goal: Replace $10+ Bonus pin-up with $10+ Backer nominations for a pin-up. 

$600 Goal: Karmagik chooses a pin-up he wants to do.
