New "Patrons Requests"

Hi everyone. How are you? I hope you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times. 

So.. "New Patrons Requests". Yes, like the usual, but with a few important changes. First one is that you will get to propose characters every week and also vote one to be drawn into a final "polished" image.

As Shantae tries to explain, first you propose characters (up to 3 each time). Then, during the week I do sketches of some of them. The next Monday you get to Vote which of the sketches will be drawn into a more polished image. Also you suggest the next bunch of characters to be done as sketches, and so on, we repeat the process every week. Voting power (according to your tier) is counted only in the Vote for the "polished image".

WHY did I change it?

In the old way of Requests, the voting was once a week and the characters that won HAD to be drawn even if I wasn't so excited about them. Some characters do not quite "click with me" and trying to draw them was kinda depressing. Sometimes the end result was not so good and this made me feel even worse  :(

With the new rules:

1) From your suggestions I get ideas and pick the ones I like best to work with.

2) From them I draw a sketch or 2 daily as a warmup, more drawing makes me better.

3) Ideas are already explored during the sketching phase, and from them you vote for the best one, so this would result into an even better final polished image.

4) More interaction. You get to propose new characters every week and also Vote on the "polished" image. I suppose this is a lot more interesting and engaging than vote only once/month.

Yes, it will take 2 weeks from the moment you propose the characters till one of that bunch makes it into a final polished image, but since the ball will be rolling and you will be doing this weekly it shouldn't feel that long.

My news: I still have a slight tingle at my leg, but it is not annoying. I can sit on my ass again without having to stand up every 10 minutes and I suppose things will get better now that I can finally rest it and not fuck it up with some hard physical work. 

In the following post for Patrons, you can propose characters and we get to test-drive this "new Requests" thing, so.. see you there ;)
