Updates to Monthly Poll and New Benefits for All Tiers (TLDR at bottom)

Changes to the Monthly Poll

Starting this month, there will be an exciting new twist to the monthly poll! While the most popular character will still have a comic created as usual, at least two characters from the poll will now be selected by lottery to receive image sets. This means even characters who don’t win the poll have a chance to be featured!

For the characters selected for the image sets, I will reach out to the Tier III members who nominated them to see if they have specific ideas or preferences. If possible, I will incorporate these suggestions into the final image sets. This lottery system will be the closest thing to commissions for my Patrons for the time being.

Since this new benefit is exclusive to Tier III nominations and acts somewhat like a commission system, I’m considering a potential adjustment to the Tier III pricing. However, no final decisions have been made yet. Rest assured, I will provide ample notice if any changes are implemented.

Added Benefits for All Tiers

The image sets created from the poll lottery will be available to all Tiers as an added benefit. To kick off this new feature, I will retroactively apply the lottery to the last poll. Later today, I’ll announce at least two winners of the lottery. The image sets for these characters will be shared later this month, so stay tuned!

TL;DR

• The most popular poll character still gets a comic.
  

• New Lottery System: At least two additional characters from the poll will receive image sets, chosen by random draw.
  

• Tier III nominators of winning image set characters can provide input on the content.
  

• Lottery image sets will be available to all Tiers.
  

• Retroactive lottery starts with the last poll.
  

• Potential Tier III pricing adjustments are under consideration, but no decisions yet.
