August news and VOTE HERE!
Added 2016-08-01 09:51:41 +0000 UTCNot much news other than what was said in the post yesterday; I'm going to do 3 request streams this month to make up for the one missed in July. Now that I have a script, page layout, setting, and characters for the new comic, that will start as well. I'll make a separate post later today with a link to the Google docs form where people can submit their request stream ideas.
Changes to the request stream: Since the tiers don't have advantages in overall win chance, I'm going to be trying a few other methods to help maintain the reward level particularly for 25$ patrons. All patrons 5$ and up will have the bonus benefit of having their name in the drawing whether they are present at the stream or not. How this will work is: you guys will write in your name and idea on the Google doc, then when I start the stream, I'll draw from that list. if it was a "public" follower's name and idea that was picked, they must be present. But 5$ and up patrons will get their idea drawn regardless. This way, it maintains the same-chance, no-pay options for everyone involved, just if you're not a patron, you have to show up (which should be the case normally anyway). I think this is a good compromise and setup. In the case of 25$ patrons, I think a fair extra bonus would be a choice: You can either make a two-character request, or ask for extra effort on the piece, in which I'll spend a bit more time refining, adding some slight effects or cleanup, with a time cap of 2 hours.
How does that sound to you guys? We can try these things out for a bit or change them as we go. Personally I think they're both good ideas that favor patrons without dishing out higher chances for payment or shutting out non-patrons, as per Patreon's rules. Going over the email they sent me, they specifically stated that "the one to one ratio of winning" and "include a link to a "no pay" submission form" is what they require, and the focus should be more about the reward rather than the drawing.
Anyway, here's the vote! M'Ress and Haku opened up two spots for the next waitlist characters, btw, we need more of!
=================
How voting works:
I make a roster of characters to choose from for my primary artwork each month. Each level of pledge gets a different number of votes, and you guys pick what I end up doing! Rules are...
=================
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.
-$5 and up Patrons: Your votes can be on one character, or split up between a few.
-You can vote after it ends, but it will be counted next month.
-Votes only count if your pledge processed that month. If your pledge is declined, I will put the votes "on hold", and add them later if the pledge goes through. Likewise, If the pledge doesn't go through, the votes aren't counted. I check all votes for number and pledge accuracy.
-If your pledge is worth more votes than you use, say a 10$ tier patron casting only 1 vote, I will automatically assign all 3 votes to that one vote. If they vote "1 for character A and 1 for character B", then I will pick myself either A or B to receive the unassigned 3rd available vote.
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 receives less than 3 people voting on them each month, they will get a strike. They won't lose votes, but they need at least 3 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.
====(Completed Fandom Pinups)====
-Krystal-Renamon-Isabelle-Amaterasu-Mink-Lola-Amelia-Ahri-Mik-ZeroSuitFox-Flora-Haku-M'Ress
====(Waitlist Characters)====
-Florence[Freefall], Vi[Dreamkeepers], Sally Acorn[38], Felicia[Darkstalkers]
Voting ends on 8.8.2016, 12p noon EST
Votes after that will carry over into September

FluffKevlar
2016-08-09 00:36:53 +0000 UTCHrm, I think I'll have to turn both those away; nothing personal of course, I just don't get a sense of motivation for those two, enough to do a full pinup of anyway. They'd work for request streams or the like though. You're welcome to suggest another or vote elsewhere

(<a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4972094/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4972094/)</a> Question regarding the request stream changes: will Patrons below the 25 tier still be able to suggest a two-character pairing and you'll just consider it carefully as you do now? Or will it be exclusive? Just want to be 100% clear. :D

FluffKevlar
2016-08-01 19:38:22 +0000 UTCHrm, good question. I initially wanted to say yes, but that's more of a species than an actual character. And if I open that to one pokemon, then I'd potentially have a dozen or more to have to say yes to in the future. I think I'll have to figure something out specifically for Pokemon stuff; i like a lot of them, and wouldnt mind doing a bunch, but not sure how it'd fit into this roster.
