It's a new month again. June already! Let's start with the exciting voting. Scroll past the votes for June-specific updates!
=================
How voting works:
=================
-1$ Patreons get 1 vote to spend on a character. 5$ gets 2, 10$ get 3 votes.
-Votes carry over month to month, so never wasted.
-Multiple votes can be for one character, or split up between a few.
-Date at the bottom of post indicates when voting closes.
-If you didn't vote last month, I'll take both month's votes at once, but I won't go any further back than one month. i.e. I won't add 2+ months of unused votes, it's too hard to track. I will check to make sure all votes are accurate.
-Once a character wins, I clear votes on that character and remove them, with the exception of my OCs, which will always remain to be voted on.
-If you miss a voting period, you can still vote, but it will be counted at the next cycle.
-Fandom and Personal characters are in the same category. (Eg: A 5$ Patron doesn't get 2 votes for fandom characters AND 2 votes for personal, you pick between them both/vote on 2 overall, they are just different categories to choose from.)

-New milestone goals!
Request stream:
In place of the 3 page/month goal, I put a request stream goal. I hate to say this right now but I think it's for the best: I won't take people's OCs, it will be limited to things like fandom characters or my own. There's a few reasons for this, so try not to get bummed out: First, people WILL get upset if I allow free art to viewers. Most of you are awesome and wouldn't complain, but there would inevitably be some complaints. Why? Because you (hopefully) like my work, and you'd hate to miss out on free of it. It's understandable! I don't blame anyone, I'm just trying to avoid the issue altogether. Related to that, there's NO WAY I could set up a stream at a time where EVERYONE could watch. Some people will miss it. Nothing anyone can do about that. I'd hate for folks to be even more upset that way, too. Instead it will be limited to "hey, I liked how you drew XXX character! Do another doodle of them!" or "You don't draw enough XXX character, do something!" I know a few artists who do these and they're really quite fun. I'll announce the streams beforehand in the feed, and I'll keep the requests to sketches, or coloured sketches at best, to get the most out of it.
Comic pages:
I've added a few new goals to the overall total. Instead of making a 3 comic page/month goal, I moved it up and set it straight at 4. That way I can better organize 1/week, rather than figuring out how to easily spread 3 pages over 4 weeks.
Alternative Take pinup:
This amount will let me take the time to make 2 completely seperate HQ pinups each month, but this one will be a bit different. This will be more like "draw XXX character as if they were in a [insert franchise here] universe", or "draw XXX childhood cartoon character, but make them totally badass-ified". Once again you guys will give ideas for this! Voting won't roll over, however, you'll comment on a post, give some ideas, and then I'll pick the best ones and you guys then vote on that. It will be experimental, but I think really quite fun! This pinup won't be adult/porn oriented like the first, but if there is a way to edit in a nude/adult version, I will.
-Tutorial note:
I didn't get to a tutorial for April, so for May, I did an extra long one that covers both drawing AND shading, since those were the last two winning subject matters. The tutorial is coming along, and I hope to have it up tomorrow. It's on Hair! How I draw it, lay it out, colour it, etc.
-Health update:
My eye is slowly recovering. Thanks for all the well wishes! I can use a computer, but I have to wear an eyepatch, and it makes art extremely slow and difficult, due to staring at a static image for a while. If all goes well, I should be back up to speed later in the week, Wednesday or Thursday...fingers crossed it won't return. I'd hate to think of how that would impact me if my latest treatment didn't work. Ugh.
-May content:
Pledges are going through for May content. Expect a few wallpapers of ARA in space, the Mink pinup both as wallpaper, and SFW version, and Predators p4! Hopefully I can finish Predators by the time all the pledges have processed. Once most have, I'll send it out, so expect a PM later in the week.
Thank you all for the patience, comments, support...everything! I'm always going to try my best to make this pledge of yours worthwhile, Increasing quality and quantity equally, practice, feedback and comments are always welcome and appreciated. Even bigger goals are on the horizon, always hopeful that I can interest and please enough folks to make them possible!
Thank you, sincerely!
