September's Requests (feedback)
Added 2023-10-04 09:21:04 +0000 UTCHi there. I thought I'd give some feedback on last month's Requests. I make this public so non-Patrons can see also.
Initially I wanted to be making something visual like this below but it simply takes too long to make and with more proposals it would become a nightmare time-wise.

So I will stick to text for this as it will be way easier to handle in the future. When I say (skip one month) I mean you can propose them again but not the immediate following month.
Joan Landor from Captain Future - Yes (I would draw it in the future) - (skip one month)
Yuki Kei from Captain Harlock - Yes (I would draw it in the future) - (skip one month)
Cammy (Street Fighter) (zero/alpha clothes) - done - (skip one month)
Iris (Princess Trainer) - done - (skip one month)
Jessica Rabbit - done - (skip one month)
Lola Bunny - I wont do because Patreon doesn't like seaxualizing "animals"
Polar from Evil Genius 2 - No, I had a look at her but doesn't inspire me to draw.
Silica from Starchaser - Maybe, idk. - (skip one month)
Taarna from Heavy Metal - Yes (I would draw it in the future) - (skip one month)
Shiina “Misha” Mikado from Katawa Shoujo - Maybe - (skip one month)
Miranda from Nikke - Possibly Yes, but difficult to draw - (skip one month)
Nana from Refantasia: Charm and Conquer - Yes - (skip one month)
Chicha from The Emperor's New Groove - done
Humba Wumba, from the Banjo-Kazooie series - Yes - (skip one month)
Tara Boumdeay, from the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - Yes - (skip one month)
Charlie Morningstar (Hazbin hotel) - done - (skip one month)
Nurse Worse (OC from artist Dr. Crafty) - No, she doesn't inspire me to draw.
That's all I believe...
HOW did I pick them? Of course I always look at the higher Tier Patrons ideas first. BUT, picking one to start drawing is mostly spontaneous, the inspiration of the moment. I look at the discord channel where I have them all listed for easy reference and the first that "clicks" at the moment is the one I start drawing.
For example, this month I started with Charlie Morningstar even though the person proposing her is not one the high-end Tiers. It doesn't matter, it clicked to me and immediately jumped at her. That's how I pick them, to be fair with everyone =]
Tomorrow I will post the new Requests (for October) post.
I will also update the Megalink because I forgot to do so inside the month. Sorry..
See you tomorrow =]

I'm fine if you're more inspired by going a little looser with Silica's design. One of the things about more obscure characters is it's just nice seeing any artwork for them. Change her as you see fit.

I was just a step away from doing her but I was wondering if I'd change her or do her original looks. In relation to Jennifer Wakeman, I have seen so much inspirational alts of her that allow me to draw (Jennifer) loosely. But Silica? How would you like her if I did her?

2023-10-04 19:16:41 +0000 UTCNice, I did hope that would help you all. I am a bit chaotic and impulsive in my decisions because if I would only draw popular and trendy characters it would get boring. I don't say I want to be drawing only awkward characters, but when I pick them I try to give them some "love" =]

2023-10-04 17:57:36 +0000 UTCI like this system. It answers my questions of "who should I suggest this month." Knowing what is and is not on the table helps me decide.
