No more $20 Tier Raffles

Hey guys!

   So I just got an email from Patreon. It seems that having raffles is not allowed in their terms of Use/ Community Guidelines.
   I wasn't completely aware of this, I felt like, because I offer more than JUST a raffle at the $20 tier that it wouldn't be a problem, but it seems like raffles on the whole are just a no go.
To be fair I can see why, or where they are coming from. Raffles promote gambling and it may be an unhealthy practice, as its not fair and hard to regulate. As someone not the biggest fan of lootboxes in video games... I get it.

But I think I have a solution...

For the $20 Tier Patrons:

    Instead of a raffle, the $20 tier will get an exclusive illustration, (or sketch or pinup) every month that only the $20 tier and higher patrons will get access to.
    I will make a post every month (much like I did when I did the raffle) only this time you guys can suggest as many ideas on what the illustration could be, who to feature etc.
  Maybe we can even poll it so its a poll ONLY reserved for $20 patrons and up. I think that could actually work out better.... We can even include the option to feature OCs in the poll. But it might be a bit of an uphill, biased, battle if we do. I dunno we can talk about it and see what makes the most sense.

What do you guys think?
Feel free to sound off in the comments!! I want to hear from you :)

I definitely want the $20 patron tier to get something special, and I thought a raffle would be fun but I see why it is a bad idea. Hopefully this works out to be better though. :)

That is all for now
Sincerely,
