Vote Results! And request stream date+changes!

This month it looks like I'm drawing...me! Haha..oh god. I mean... I have received 'cute butt' comments before, but now I have to make a detailed pinup of it. *queue flailing, feathers everywhere* Feel free to throw suggestions at me; Rane is just...me, so, he has no background, personality, etc. He also doesn't even have a ref sheet yet. Gawd I'm so slow.

A lot of people not just voted for Rane, but Nytro too, and a few other males got em as well, which is awesome! I'm all for drawing more of both genders equally.

Request stream next this Sunday, 11th. 4pm EST

To save you from a bunch of posts at once, I'll tack this here: Patreon sent out an email on the 27th stating that they're updating their TOS in November. I emailed the support staff and they advised out of caution, to rid of raffling entirely, even if there is a no-pay option. The new TOS rules out raffles period, even if done off-site, like on Picarto, if Patreon is the basis or support behind it, it's not allowed.

So I'm replacing the random part of picking the names with a poll/artist pick combo. It's not as big of a change as it might sound.

Still using the Google form, I'm going to read through the ideas, I'll then pick one of them, and do it. Then I'll let the stream vote on the next. Then I'll pick another on my own. Then the stream votes. Repeat.

Why the vote? I don't want this to be completely all about me and my choices. Sometimes the best stuff comes from being given an idea, and its more of a surprise and challenge that way. The voting makes it a little more interactive, a group, shared, spontaneous reward. Between 3-4 ideas up at once to vote on. This way everyone has a say, without raffles, and someone gets the idea drawn.

Yes, some might get picked for the vote and then not actually voted to win it. I'm sorry, it happens! I'm really trying my best to find a middle ground between fairness, obeying TOS, and patron incentive...which brings up the one big plus to this change: since it's not a raffle in any way, there doesn't need to be a 'free' option, which means I'm making it Patron-only, and removing the non-Patron suggestions from the list. Same normal 10$ tier and below if picked, go on a cooldown for 2 months, and 25$ just for the current month they win, and the quality/quantity option still there.

Whew. I know that's a lot to read and take in, but it's not that big of a change, I'm just trying to be thorough and clear. The biggest difference is me preening through the ideas; if it's one I'd really not do, I'll let you know so you can re-submit/change it, but that was already the case. As always, will love to hear feedback/concerns/suggestions for this stuff, and for the pinup too!
