February 1st. VOTE HERE! News!

It's February! I'll start by listing off a few statuses and updates, then onto the voting for pinup and tutorial.

January pinup: Ayn is more or less done; I'll see if I have time today to add any last additions, but there are plenty already, and I'm happy with them, and the base image, so I hope you'll like it! I'll save out a number of HD versions for 5$ tier, and the 10/25$ tier will get a toggle-able PSD with the layers all flattened and cleaned up, in addition to the 'working PSD' to see how it was done.

Predators: The comic is nearing its end! I'm working on page 20 right now and wrapping it up either today or tomorrow, so I may be a day late sending out the ZIPs, or, at least the Dropbox folder link to the comic anyway. There are, as it stands, 22 pages with a bonus page (full page, just after the story has concluded. It'll make sense when you see it) and cover, so it will end at the end of March. Which means...

The next comic will start in April, and I have several ideas for. I want to do 1 or 2 short comics (2-4 pages or so) to play with some styles before doing the next 'big' one. During Feb. you'll see posts with some concept work, ideas, characters, and I'll ask for your guys thoughts on what story to tackle, what it will contain, and the like.

Request Stream has been doubled, as long as the milestone stays up, and the rules slightly added onto. While the OC use idea didn't go through, the 25$ does have a few advantages to the streams, so the rules will adjust for it. The first pick will be between the 10 and 25 tiers, the second will be for 5 and up as usual, and during those two picks, the 25 tier names will be entered twice. After that everyone is entered once as usual. Winners will be ineligible to pick for 2 streams after, where 25$ will be just for one.

Tutorial ideas: i  had a few from last month still on the table, but feel free to throw more at me here, and I'll round them up and make another post later for it.

For now, here's the voting rules and whatnot! It looks really close between Mik, Zofie, Ahri and Fran as it stands.

=================

How voting works:

=================

Votes:

-The roster keeps it's vote count from month to month.

-1$ Patreons get one(1) vote to spend. 5$ get two(2), 10$ get three(3), 25$ get four.

-$5 and up Patrons: Your votes can be on one character, or split up between a few.

-You can vote after it ends, but it will be counted next month.

-Votes only count if your pledge processed the previous month. Reason for previous month is, voting occus as pledges are still being processed, so it'd be a mess to keep track of votes AS payments are still coming in. I check all votes for number and pledge accuracy.

Add/Remove Character Rules:

-Fandom and Other OCs will be removed when won...

-...But FK OCs will go on a six(6)-month cooldown MINIMUM, after which they will be vote-able again. I'll pick when I want to throw them up there again.

Open slots:

- Open Slots can be filled by $5+ Patreons simply suggesting a new one when votes open. You have to spend at least one of your votes on this character when you suggest them on an Open Slot. If it doesn't go up, or goes on a wait list, you can put your vote to something else. I can turn down a character suggestion, but please don't take it personally! I will only do this when I -really- can't see myself enjoying the subject.

- If there is an open slot, and multiple people make a character suggestion, I will default to the patron with the highest lifetime Patreon support. The other suggestion will go on a waitlist.

-Open Slots under 'Artist's Choice' won't follow strikes or anything, and instead are added/removed as I deem desired or necessary. Could be other's OCs, fandom characters that haven't been suggested that I'd love to do... etc. A free-form nomination category. Can still be characters supporters suggest.

Strikes:

-If a character recieves less than 2 people voting on them each month, they will get a strike. They won't lose votes, but they need at least 2 people voting.

-Three(3) strikes total removes them from the roster, but they can always be re-added later.

-50 votes will remove any strikes and prevent future ones.
