January '25 MAX Poll suggestions!

Happy New Year again!

Suggestions will be accepted through Monday January 13th at 3pm EST.
Poll will run from Tuesday January 14th until 4:30pm EST, Tuesday January 21st with the fan poll winner being the piece for the week of February 1st.

RULES BELOW-

• Everyone who would like to participate: make a suggestion for a single character in the comments.

• Repeat suggestions that did not win previous polls will be accepted and are encouraged.

• Characters who have participated in previous polls and were not picked will retain up to %50 of their overall votes to a maximum of +10. This percentage may be adjusted without notice.
  -Characters who lose a tied result on a poll will also receive a special +5 bonus votes in acknowledgement of their effort.
  -Bonus votes expire when a character wins a poll or receives an honorable mention.

• "Max" and "Plus" poll categories will have separate vote pools, limitations, and honorable mention chances, so you may nominate the same character for both if you choose.

• Characters who win a poll will not be accepted as suggestions again in the poll category they won for 6 months.

• There will be 15 slots on the final poll.

• Poll slots will be granted by raffle, weighted by tier:
  Characters suggested by $10 patrons will be entered 3x, $5 patrons 2x, and $3 Patrons 1x.

• All suggestions should be fictional female characters of an appropriate age. You may include a preferred size or Costume if you would like to be specific. Check the following post for some suggested terminology and example images- Fullbody General Size Chart

• Anime style characters are preferred but negotiable as I can always draw a western character in anime style if necessary.

• For characters who are harder to find on an image search, or that you would like to request in one of their alternate costumes, please include a link to a reference image.
  If a link to a useable reference cannot be provided by the time the poll opens your slot will be voided and given to the next Patron in line.

• I reserve the right to alter or ignore any suggestions that I don't like for any reason.
  
  Honorable Mentions:

• Some characters may eventually receive a portrait despite multiple losing poll positions as an "Honorable Mention."

• In order to avoid manipulation of the system, my criteria for granting an Honorable Mention varies and an Honorable Mention within any set time frame cannot be guaranteed.
