A Slight Change To Monthly Pinups Coming Up! [UPDATE]

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well and continuing to stay safe and healthy! 

I've been meaning to speak up about this but keep putting it off each month! It's been over a year now of doing monthly pinups for you all, and it's been an absolute BLAST! I love seeing everyone's suggestions and how eager everyone is to see who the winner is each month! However, I'd like to spice things up a bit by adding something new to the mix starting in October! 

 Is there an original character out there that you're a huge fan of that you'd love to see done in my style as a monthly pinup piece? Well now you can!  Introducing, OC suggestions! 

For the last year, folks have only been suggesting franchise characters, however, I'd LOVE to throw in some popular original characters into the mix that folks in the fandom have created! There is a small snag that could happen with this, of course. OC's can be very special, personal characters, and not everyone may be fond of receiving random fanart of their OC, especially as a pinup piece. So while you can suggest as many OC's as you'd like to be in the running for a monthly pinup piece, ultimately, it'll come down to whether or not the owner of the OC is comfortable with their character being drawn in this kind of light. 

So! We're going to try it out for next month. When certain OCs are suggested, I'll ask for the name of the owner to be listed alongside the character name as well, so I can personally contact the owner before the poll is posted to get the ok. If it's all good, they'll be placed into the poll. And if not, then we'll unfortunately have to pass on that character. 

If anyone is familiar with the artist F-R95, they tend to feature others OCs in pinups the odd time (Nicole being one of them at one point *blushes*) 

So yeah! I wanted to mention that this will be an available option come October. I'll update the tier descriptions to mention this as well. 

Super looking forward to seeing what new characters, both franchise and original, will be suggested next month <3 

Take care, everyone!
