June Philanthropy (Pinup Suggestions!) (Patreon)

Hey folks! Two things to mention before the usual stuff:

1) As I said in an earlier post this month, I had originally intended to take this month off from doing any game work, but I ended up putting in a large chunk of time to building the systems I needed for the new engine I'm using.  This ate into my drawing time, but I did end up completely finishing everything I needed to code, so in the end I'm really happy I did that.  

That said, July will be all art, with dev work resuming in August, so I'll be getting quite a few of these pinup requests done then.

2)  In ten months from now, I am going to be changing my tiers.  The $3 tier will have access to art, the $5 tier will have access to art and games, and the $10 tier will have access to art, games, and be able to submit 2(or more) pinup requests per month. 

This change is being made both to accommodate a shift I'm planning in my output towards game content, as well as update the suggestion system, which was initially created when there were only 10-20 requests being given each month,  and does not work quite as well now that there's over 100 requests made each month. 

 The date "10 months from now" has been chosen so that if there is anyone who is giving their first request for a character this month, they will not have to increase their pledge at all in order to get to the requisite 10 requests for the character to be drawn. 

I hope that all makes sense.  

That's all for "announcements"!

____________________________________________________________________________

A couple reminders, as there tends to be a few mistakes being made each month:

1) suggestions should take the form:

•  [Character] - [media franchise]; for example: Nathan drake - Uncharted 

NOT:

• [Character] having sex with [character] 

(Suggestions are for pinups, not pairings)

2) the number of characters you can suggest per month corresponds to your support amount:

• $5 support per month: [character]
• $10 support per month: [character 1] [character 2]
• $15 support per month: [character 1] [character 2] [character 3]
• $20 support per month: [character 1] [character 2] [character 3] [character 4]

3) Please look at the "Draw Queue" to see who is already guaranteed to be drawn before voting on which character you'd like!  (Though, you may choose to suggest a character you see in the draw queue anyway, if you'd like to get them drawn again in the future). 

 [Here is the current character suggestion sheet] 

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

To reiterate how multiple voting works:

If you support me with more than $5 each month, ($10, $15, up to $20), you gain 1 additional suggestion per each $5, but it *must* be for different characters--up to 4 characters total.

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

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.
• Please do not suggest "aged up" versions of characters, they must already be 18 years or older in the media they come from.
• Characters who have already been drawn once CAN be suggested again! 

How the pinup is decided:

Whichever 3 pinups have the most suggestions when the suggestion period is over will be chosen to be drawn. 

Priority is given to any character on the "Draw Queue":

 If a character is suggested 10 times, it will be added to a second list, the "Draw Queue", in which it will be drawn first, before selecting any characters with less than 10 votes.  If 3 or more characters are already in the draw queue, the top 3 characters on the list will be drawn, the next month, the next characters on the list will be picked, and so on.

How to suggest: 

Comment which character you'd like me to draw on this post!  Please give me their name and what media they're from.

People who support with more than $5 a month may suggest multiple characters for each multiple of $5 ($20 a month = 4 suggestions).

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 added to the draw queue for that month.

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

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

I will add characters to the draw queue on Saturday, July 25th.

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

Thank you for your continued patronage!
