Monthly Illustration Poll - How it works

I wanted to write this up in order to be as transparent as possible about how the poll works, especially for the new people who've come in recently.

At the beginning of the month, I'll make a post asking for character suggestions. To suggest a character, reply to that post with their name, what franchise their from or their owner's name, and a reference if possible.

General Rules:

-Requesting particular variations on characters is allowed (e.g. female Wolf O'Donnell or anthropomorphised Holo). If you're unsure about something, feel free to message me.

-Personal characters (your OCs) won't be considered, but I'll accept more well-known fandom characters so long as their owners are okay with nsfw art.

-Characters who make it onto the poll but frequently get very few votes will have a lower priority to other characters.

-I'll only take one suggestion per patron each month. If you suggest multiple characters I'll only consider one of them.

-If the character you suggest doesn't meet the requirements I'll let you know, and you'll be able to suggest another.

Things that I wont allow:

-Anything that goes against Patreon or Subscribstar's terms of service.

-I will not draw cub/loli, ferals, any extreme fetishes/bodytypes. If you're unsure about a specific character, feel free to message me.

Things that will make your suggestions more likely to get picked:

-If you haven't had a character make it on to the poll yet. I keep track of who's suggestions get onto the poll, and who's win. In the interest of giving everyone a chance I'll be more likely to pick your suggestion if you weren't on the poll last month. If your suggestion won the previous month, you'll have a pretty low priority in the current month.

-If multiple people suggest the same character.

-Female and furry characters are more likely to be chosen, just because that's what I like to draw, but I'm not going to rule out male characters or humans.

-In the interest of keeping the poll diverse, I'll try to limit it to one character per franchise/fandom artist at a time.

You'll have several days to make suggestions. After that, I'll pick several candidates to vote on. The rest of the poll is pretty straight forward. I'll pick out several characters and post a poll here and on Subscribestar that will be open for 3 days or so. When the polls conclude I'll add the results together from both sites. Then, after the winner is announced, I'll have the rest of the month to finish the illustration.

I expect this system to evolve as the number of patrons here grows. I'm going to do my best to keep you all informed of major changes. If you have any other questions, feel free to message me or leave a comment.

Thank you all for your generous support!
