February 2018 Status Update!

Hey there, Oxdarock here!

Now that the charges for last month have gone through, it's time to update everyone one what's going on for February 2018! First off, I'd like to thank all my patrons, both new and old, for supporting me last month. I've updated the BEnchmark Stack List and sent out links to sketch archives from the past three months, so be sure to check those out if you haven't already. I've also sent out messages to patrons whose pledge was declined, so be sure to fix that and let me know so I can send out rewards.

Now for my drawing schedule. I have quite a list of things to get done before I switch back to comic mode. As of now I'm working on some LLT Guest pictures taking place inside the Enchantavators (such as the last post featuring Saeko, Rei, and Takashi). I'll be posting three more during this month with the first being later this week. After that I'll be working on the remaining four contestants for the Rub-Rub Roulette. The first of the four should be posted later this month, while the other three will be posted during March. After that I plan to draw some more LL Guests pictures to go along with a couple of Tips for Tricks segments. In between these I'll be working on more LL Snapbacks photos as well. After that I'll be working on some BEnchmark exclusive content, including pictures for a commentary pack I've put together. Once all of this is finished, I'll most likely be switching back into comic drawing mode for a while. 

Regarding voting polls, aside from the LL Snapbacks polls I periodically hold, the next major voting poll will be held after the first week (more specifically sometime after the 5th) of March. The poll will be to decide the characters to be featured in several LL Guest pictures, which will all take place in the Enchantavators. Two will feature the growth effect while the other two will feature the furry effect. Be sure to check the current Voting Suggestion Sheet and make any changes if necessary. The next major poll after that will be in the beginning of April and will be to decide the winner of the ongoing Rub-Rub Roulette contest. In-universe prizes aside, the winner will take part in an encore performance so that the audience can enjoy their transformation bit by bit. In other words, I'll be drawing a TF comic of the winner of the Rub-Rub Roulette. I'll give out more info regarding all of this in the future.

Lastly, regarding my decision on whether or not to add a new tier that features PSDs and step-by-step process pictures of my works, I've decided against it. While there does seem to be a bit of interest in it, ultimately the deciding factor is that I myself don't really see much value in it as a reward. I know people like to pick apart pictures to understand an artist's workflow and methods, but I honestly feel like it's more useful to make a tutorial about those things. It's a lot more helpful. Only thing is that I have no idea when I'd be able to make the time to make tutorials, but who knows?

Anyway, that's all for updates and post schedules. There will be another post regarding how I manage my Patreon later. Most of it probably won't apply to most of my patrons, however there are some extremely important points to it as well, so be sure to give it a look.

That's all for now!
