October Philanthropy (pinup suggestions!) (Patreon)

Hello philanthropist-tier patrons!

2 things before the usual stuff:

1) I usually wait to make the pinup suggestion post till after I've finished and uploaded all the randomizer pinups for the month so that people don't continue to vote for characters that just got picked (though, you can choose to that do anyway).

However, I'm going to be really busy for this next week, and I won't be able to start working on the last 2 until the end of October, so I'm going to just say the other 2 characters that got picked are: #2: Solid Snake, #3: Bigby Wolf

2) A few people have asked me about commissions -- I'm not currently able to do commissions because I generally don't have enough time to fit them in, however, I'm making another change which will affect the 3rd randomizer slot:

(Please read the next 2 paragraphs carefully)

Currently, the 3rd randomizer slot operates as a special slot or a normal slot. The special case is when a character gets suggested 10 times, they get added to a second list, and the 3rd slot only gets filled by that list. If there are no characters on the second list, then the 3rd slot gets filled by the first list like any other slot.

The change: philanthropist tier patrons who support me with more than $5 a month (in multiples of 5 eg: 10, 15, 20, etc) get another vote for each multiple of 5 from their support . Example: someone who supports me with $25 a month gets 5 votes a month. The maximum (for fairness's sake) is 5 votes a month. No more than 5. So if there is a character you really want to see, this is a way you can get that character 10 votes faster, and put onto the 2nd list where they are much more likely to be picked. Again, this only affects the special 3rd slot. The first two slots operate in the exact same way as always.

It's not exactly like a commission, but it's as close as I'm able to offer at the moment. Again, still no OCs, and the content of the picture is as always up to me.

**If you are using your multiple votes, please say something like: [character]x4, or 2 votes for [character]

That's all for the new stuff!

-----------------

Criteria:

This is strictly fanart (no original characters) and they have to be a character I'm able to google and find reference pictures, and the characters have to be adults; 18 years or older.

How the pinup is decided:

I am going to take your suggestions and add them to a numbered list. Then I'll use a random number generator to pick a number, and with the number, a character is chosen!

How to suggest:

Comment which character you'd like me to draw on this post!

What happens when a character is chosen:

When a character is chosen, that character, and any multiples of that character, are removed from the list, and they're drawn for that month. The reason multiples are removed from the list is so that other characters have a better chance of getting picked next time. *However* the next month, you can suggest the same character again.

Although it's randomly determined, if a lot of people ask for the same character, it increases the chances that character is drawn for that month.

I hope that's a sufficient explanation, I look forward to seeing what characters you have in mind!

I will use the random number generator to pick the characters on Monday, October 29th.

note: only suggestions from patrons whose $5+ payments have gone through will be added to the list (I'll be checking this)

Because an additional funding goal was met, 3 characters per month will now be chosen!

Finally, as an additional reminder, all the suggestions from last month are STILL on the list, only those selected are removed, so if you really wanted to see a specific character, feel free to suggest them again, they'll be on the list twice (or more) and will increase the chance they're selected!

**ADDITIONALLY**: Since the third and final additional pinup slot has been added, I've decided to use that slot in two ways:

One: if a character gets suggested 10 times and STILL hasn't been chosen, it gets added to a second list, and a second randomizer will be used to pick from that list to fill the third slot. This way, characters that are suggested multiple times are guaranteed to get drawn in a more timely manner. There are a handful of characters very close to this point, so hopefully they'll be chosen very soon!

Two: if there are no characters on that second list, it functions like a regular slot.

Thank you for your continued patronage!
