About the Monthly Lottery

Yeah. It'd be cool to get some custom art from you but Raan's doll is already enough and amazing and so are the little one shots. I think keeping around the suggestion polls is a good way to give people the ability to get something somewhat custom for them (like if their suggestion is picked) without just catering to one person.

Sadie

thats totall understable, thanks for keeping the support though :)

Kannel

oh it's automatic, ever person who pledge more than $5 was part of it... thanks for the comment :)

Kannel

but that different imput can still be there with polls and suggestions... but yeah, would be less of that i guess

Kannel

that would be hard to implement... since the people that support the comic every month change a bit...

Kannel

yeah i also think the odds are too small... thanks for your comment !

Kannel

I actually reduced my contribution because I was not getting enough Raan's Doll and the lottery is not always interesting to me. I'm strongly in favor of removing it.

Bruce

I support this decision. I'd rather see more comic pages and I don't want you to get in trouble.

Dov Sherman

I would definitely give up the lottery if it means more pages for Raans' Doll, but LordOmega's right : it provides you different input from usual. Now, you could always ask for suggestions more often instead of making polls made out of limited choices : I'm pretty sure you could come with a (big) ongoing list of ideas constantly growing, everyone being able to "+1" the ideas they like, the top-voted ideas being made.

Higuita

I prefer to keep the lottery, you might have some different input from the usual.

LordOmega

Personally, I think its a great idea, while the polls give us "input" you can always post em in a blog on deviant art or provide a link to it there....been following you since you hit DA and you've always replied to me so I might be biased :P but if your fans and supporters enjoy your art....they'd support your decision to possibly provide MORE new content and be okay with a lack of polls, just saying

Kayden of Course

I am not fussed, since I never figured there was much chance of winning anyhow. I am drawn to seeing the comic evolving sooner. One compromise could be every so often to have a poll of which special art work to do that month (or whatever the interval is)?

Andy M

More pages per month works for me. I'm not entirely sure what winning the lottery got a patron, probably a private commission rather than a large cheque and a box of chocolates, but more about Raan and Sammy seems better for everyone...

Martin Lock

More comics ! :)

LoveEverybody

i agree more comics

Josh Wenburg

I became a patron because I needed to find out what happens in Raan's Doll sooner. I'd prefer more comics a month.

Ryan Geoghagan

Maybe a quarterly lottery?

Josh

Yeah, I would prefer no lottery. Even at the highest tier, odds of winning are minuscule. I'd enjoy more streams and polls.

ZBL

If it means a chance at the zoat more often? Be gone lotto!

Alex

I'll be honest iv never really known how to take advantage of this lottery since I started pledging but iv kept my pledge the same nonetheless. While I'd love to win it (if I knew how to participate lol) but I love your art so if it means more it's all good.

TheDaren

I much rather have everyone get more of the awesome comics.

Gary Lubben

Not really worried about the lottery myself. I love your comics and I want to support more Raan's Doll, so would have no impact on my support.

I love your comics but one of the reasons I pledged higher was for the extra lottery tickets, I would still support your comics but personally i would pay a little less

Jae

The lottery was never a consideration when pledging for me, was always about the great comics!

Yep more content is always something I will back. I am supporting because I love the content. I personally never really put any thought into the lottery. I always looked forward to the content (i.e.- updates to Raan's Doll and ZOAT)

Badger66

Lotto snotto, I be behind bringing us more comic pages.

SpoiceDandy

I will continue to support at my current level regardless. I really enjoy your work. 😊

Kiera Kujisawa

Personally, I'd support it going away. I back because I want the content sooner and to show support. The lottery hasn't ever really appealed much to me.
