Announcement: News, Voting, & more

Happy New Year everyone! 

This year is going to be a great one, I can feeeeel it. How do I know? Well.. here's what's on the horizon:

COMICS!

Yes, I'm finally going to take the plunge and start making comics/doujin, both short and long. (Oh my.) All Sonic-related for the foreseeable future; it's what I love the most and also what I'm most familiar with. Plus, I have tons of ideas for them.

Because I have big plans of eventually visiting as well as selling at Comiket, all comics will be created in the right-to-left reading format. Dialogue will be in English, but eventually I will provide both Japanese and English versions.

Voting

I know we only just recently began this method of voting, but starting this month, all Patrons will have equal voting power. Wait! Before you get concerned, my $5 Patrons, the loss of your extra vote will be replaced with a different benefit.

My reasons for this are because not only will I continue to ask for your vote once a month for the Patron-voted illustration, but I will also be asking from time to time for you to cast your vote on which short comic you'd like to see me make next.

I realized having one poll (Patreon illust) where some can vote more than once, and having others (for comics) where I am looking for only one vote per-Patron.. just doesn't make much sense. So I'm leveling the playing field in terms of voting power. As a result of this, to better ensure a clear winner I will be making all future monthly character polls 8 characters or less.  This will cause the voting results to be far less scatter-shot. Any characters removed from the current roster who were fairly popular, will make a reappearance as spots require filling, so don't worry if your personal favorite pick goes away.

Drawing and Short Comic Suggestions

So.. since it has become apparent that not all $5 Patrons are interested in joining the Discord server where I have provided the link to the Patreon-Suggestion doc, I have decided to make it, and the brand new Short Comic Suggestion doc, more accessible by posting a link to them both in the Patron feed, (I will post them after this post is live.)

This Drawing Suggestion doc is where you can contribute your more specific ideas of what you would like to see me draw, and of course the Short Comic Suggestion doc is where you can let me know what sort of comic scenarios you'd like to see!

All in all...

So those are the most recent developments on my side of things. Sometimes this whole thing feels like an ever-evolving beast, but it's fun, and I'm glad you're all along with me for the ride. I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your year, and no matter the answer, know that you are all loved and appreciated. <3 

COOLBLUE,
