Update: I'm dumb. One of the main points of this post was not doing rewards during the billing cycle and I still screwed it up, lol. The February poll will take place during the week of Feb 10-14, not Feb 3-7. Post has been updated accordingly, sorry for the confusion.

Hey peeps, how's it going? This post is a little late in the day, but I just wanted to write a quick update on upcoming plans and finalized pledge rewards.
[Round-up Posts]: For starters, I don't know why I didn't consider it before, but I realized it's kinda dumb to make my monthly round-up bundles available during/after the next billing cycle has started (first week of the month), since there's usually a handful of people who cut their pledges during that time. Feels a little unfair, to be quite honest, so apologies for not realizing that until now.
So, this week, I'm gonna see if I can whip up one more pic before making a round-up post of this month's work on either Thursday or Friday. Then, from here on, I'll start doing the round-up posts during the last week of the month before the billing cycle starts.
[Future Polls + Pledges]: This month's 2B vs Juri poll was a pretty nice change of pace from all the craziness of past iterations, I simply tossed y'all some characters, let you vote over a weekend, then got to work drawing a big ol' booty a few days later. I really appreciate y'all letting me continue to experiment with how I do things and figure out what works, so thank you.
With that being said, I think I feel comfortable with making the personal poll the official new $5+ reward, like I mentioned in previous posts. I wish I could keep it at the $3 tier for all of you, but I honestly don't have anything else to put in the $5 tier if I want to stick to my 'low stress' art strategy. BUT, you'll still get 2-weeks early access to the finished pic for each poll, access to high-res attachments, and access to the monthly round-up bundles for being in the $3 tier. Plus, you're helping to fund all the squishy things I draw, so hopefully one of those reasons is good enough for you to stick around. ^^;
As for the next poll, I'll probably let it run through the week of Feb 10-14, just to give y'all a little more time to vote (a weekend seems a bit short). I'm thinking of doing something with Kat and Elara this time, so hopefully you like the ideas I have in-store!
Also thanks for reading yet another wall of text even though I really try not to ramble!
