A ramble about Patron sketches

I've been looking at the list of upcoming illustrations I'll be doing for the $10 tier folks and kind of hit a problem that I've been trying to figure out how to handle.

Namely, the list keeps growing.  Now this isn't a bad problem to have.  I'm touched that this many folks would want to support me at this level.  However I also want to reward folks who have been around for months/years now with a second illustration.  Some have had a couple, but others keep getting pushed back as the list grows.

I've had to come to a bit of a compromise.  I think I'll alternate between a new patron illustration one month, and then picking someone up for their second illustration the next going forward.  Part of this is because I need to continuously make headway and get an illustration to new folks, while wanting to be fair to folks that might still be around with a second.

So, this month's illustration will be for a new person on the list.  April's sketch will be to give someone a second illustration as a show of thanks for long time support.

I hope this is fair?  I don't want to miss anyone, and outside of a couple people who never replied, I've been able to keep up.  But I know some people have been hoping for a second image as well.  I want to make sure everyone gets at least one guaranteed illustration and not fall horribly behind.

I don't get so many new patrons at that level where I have to worry about getting too far behind, but this month saw a few more join up, as well as a couple that did last month, and while I don't think I'll see more for a while I did want to make headway for people's kind patronage.

I hope this works for folks.  I don't really have any other ideas to keep up, and I'm still stuck at only having time to do one per month on top of everything going on with work.

Let me know if there are any concerns too.  I'll do what I can, as limited in time as I am.
