First of all, a big thank you to all you supporters, you're the ones allowing this.
Secondly, I've received a fair amount of comments, direct messages, etc regarding future projects, if I was planning on doing x character, if they could pay an extra tier for it before commissioning, etc, while I was interested in doing some of those I wasn't planning on doing them in the near future.
But since I've gotten a fair amount of these requests/questions; I've decided to start expanding the patreon and output, I will start doing character polls.
What does this mean?
Every month there'll be a process of voting for a character, where patreons of the new tier can add a character to that poll, the winner of said poll will get the port on top priority as soon as the poll ends.
Sailors have the ability to cast 1 vote per poll
Swashbucklers, the new tier, will have the ability to add one character (existing model) per monthly pledge to this monthly poll, in addition to getting 3x votes per poll
The process will go as follows for the month of May:
The starting base list will be posted May 12th, this list will be pinned for everyone to see and will be available for a week up to May 19th, the list will update every time a Swashbuckler adds a new character so everyone can see it, during this time there will be no voting allowed to not negatively influence the voting process, for example, if a patreon adds a character on the last day of the week when most votes are already cast.
On Monday, May 19th, the characters in the current list will be made into a poll and patreons will be able to cast their votes until next Monday, May 26th.
The winner of that poll, the character with the most votes, will get top priority and will be the immediate next project after the winner is chosen, so whatever character is voted gets the release as soon as possible.
However, and I cannot stress this enough, this is YOUR space, if you feel this process/tiers should change, a suggestion on how it could be improved, anything you wish to say regarding this, I'm listening, this is possible because of you and my goal is to please.
Regarding the starting list for May, it will have these 2 characters:
Gum ( From Jet Set Radio, custom model with custom assets made/ripped by me to get as close as possible to a good 1:1 )
Tristana ( The amazing model made by anokureda )
The Swashbuckler tier will be able to add one character to this list per month and have 3x times the votes, so this is a great opportunity to get a model you might want.
Depending on how this process goes, if there's interest, etc, I'll work and expand upon this process.
Additionally, for the next release I went to work immediately after the last one (Huge pack of Noodle, I recommend checking it out if you haven't); and it's Jolyne Kujo, much like Noodle this will be a pack release with several hairs, costumes, etc, and should be released in the coming days, you can see a sneak peek of how she's coming along in the attached.
See you soon and thank you for your support.
