Round-Up Sketches / Cycle Change

If you’ve been following the discord, you know we’re going to be moving to a new 1-2-3-4 cycle for the $20 tier:

Months:
1) Submit Sketch Round-Up Ideas, +1 bonus vote for 20$ tier
2) Vote on Sketch Round-Ups (3x winners new sketches, 2x winners full color upgrades                  of old)
3) Submit Grim Mini Ideas, +1 Bonus vote for 20$ tier
4) Vote on Grim Mini Ideas (Single Winner)

So this will be a 4-month cycle.  

The reason of this is that we’ve been taking 3 months to do minicomics as they grow larger and more complex - which means the backlog has continued to grow as we added a new mini to the list every two months! You’ll be getting even more art for the next 2 cycles (8 months) as we’ll be doing Sketch-Round Ups twice per cycle instead of mini voting while we catch up on the current minicomic backlog (so more sketches AND you’ll be getting minicomics).

What is a Sketch Round-Up?  Basically 3 ideas like the example image above and 2 full-color upgrades of previous winners (and/or Di-Sketches [the image above is a Di-Sketch from the Bonus Art section of the discord]).  You’ll also be able to nominate any old sketch (Round-Up or Di-sketch) to receive the full-color treatment. Depending on how many submissions we get we might set a limit in the future (like “first 20”) or some other way of narrowing the field down.  May will be the first Round-Up submission month!

Voting rules will remain the same - you'll either need piggybank credit from the $5+ tier or be at the 20$+ tier.  Round-Up sketches will be posted to the Bonus Art section of the discord (which can also be seen via piggybank if you're not at the 15$+ level) while full-color upgrades will be posted publicly.

We’re also looking into the possibility of adding another member to our team that would help with the minicomics, allowing us to do complex minis every two months (possibly in complete fullcolor), but don’t know if we’re going to find someone. They have to be dependable, capable of a style similar to Eldrik (or be able to lineart/color/shade his rough sketches), available, and be fine with working in this genre.

Contact me on discord if you know someone who meets those needs~

(Also, if you were wondering, a fullcolor version of the above image already exists, although the 5 sequel images to the above are still just sketches.)
