May FQI Vote

Rules here: https://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=2452242 Here we go! Will be running the vote for a few days, so do participate!

FQI Voting Rules

Instead of copy-pasting the information into every vote I've decided to make a specific post I can link to in the future.

As such, here are the rules:

The FQI (Full Quality Illustration) is one large illustration, usually desktop resolution (1920x1080). While the goal is to always make multiple variants/alts of the image, time constraints can lead to less alts or only a base image. 

For SFW images, alts consist of mood/lighting changes, different outfits, and background ch...

"Reading Session" .psd

Enjoy!

"Reading Session" FQI completed!

.rar download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/c8fcmzmzukluzpy/Reading_Session.rar Phew, I've been LOADED with work the last few weeks! $15+ patrons get ready, I'm opening the new votes tomorrow!

"Late Reading" preview

The sketches for the next FQI are all finished, so here's to you!

Last minute vote so I can churn out a 2nd illustration before April ends and be less of a loser! The proper revised rules and stuff will be in the May voting post, so for now I'll just be brief: $15 patrons, suggest an illustration per the template at the end of this post. The new rule is no suggesting OCs. I'll provide the same two suggestions myself as always one last time before I change it up next month. $2 and above patrons, vote away. Vote up everything you like or would be interested in...

"Idle Tentacles" FQI completed!

There were a lot of hang-ups, but here's Idle Tentacles. It's the final FQI before the new rules.

Important status update and some explanations

Before I start, I'm letting you all now I'm still undecided as to whether i'll stick with Per Month or go to Per Illustration. I've made some mistakes with this Patreon, most of all is being unclear about my own intent behind it. What I wanted with my Patreon Illustrations was to give me an avenue for drawing things that aren't OC Commissions or my projects, because I definitely do not have the time to spend drawing high-detail works for nothing when I could be doing commission work. With Patr...

Patreon pace and payment system thoughts

The problems with completing the current FQI have made me do some thinking about realistic expectations. Because, aside from Patreon, I also work on commissions, my own projects, study and do a lot of housework/exercise, guaranteeing a certain output per month might be unwise. To cut it short, I've considered switching to Per Finished Illustration payments and cutting all reward tiers to half the price they're at. What are your opinions on this?

draft finished: image 1-3 are girl, 4-6 are futa

i'd like to put out a little apology to my 1 dollar patrons, turns out I had planned poorly so I couldn't manage to put together all the sketches well. From now on I'll save everything I doodle right away to the patreon .rar so it will work out next month

"Smoking Night" .psd

For the $5+ fellas

"Smoking Night" completed!

There were a lot of delays this month, but I finished!

Reward Tier tweak

Lowered the Guaranteed/Priority Comm Slot reward tier to $10 to be more sensible! If that's what you're a supporter for you can edit your pledge.

March voting done!

Things looked awkwardly even for a while, but in the end we have winners! As the two highest-voted suggestions are the subject of this month, here's what's happening: ILLUSTRATION ONE - OC (Patron) - Character: Alan McGregor ( http://imgur.com/a/MxprK ) - Pin-up - Strong New York mobster style; wears the suit, scarf, gloves and hat as in reference. May include smoking and/or butterfly knife. ILLUSTRATION TWO - Kantai Collectio...

Suggesting Rules: 1) One suggestion per month. 2) Post your suggestion as a comment in reply to my first post in the thread below.

"Talutah's Playmate" .PSD

and for you $5+ patrons, the photoshop document of my first FQI! In addition to the alts everyone gets, you can mix and match your own choices with the .psd file since I've named all the alt folders for ease of use. Thank you for the support!

First FQI "Talutah's Playmate" completed!

With your support I've had the opportunity and motivation to finish my first patreon-funded Illustration, "Talutah's Playmate", as a total of 2 base images (female and futanari) with 9 alt version each totalling at 20 images. I'm truly grateful for the support this first month, and I hope March will be just as successful!

First patreon-funded illustration done!

Payments are still being processed, but with our entry into march the very first patreon illustration has been completed! I'd like to thank you all for your support. Variants and $5 reward .PSD will be arriving tomorrow. After that I'll open up the vote for the first March illustration, so $15+ patrons should prepare!

February FQI progress update

the draft/sketch is done, so here's the .psd preview of sorts for $5+ patrons! Expect the finished product sunday or monday! NSFW warning, ofc.

1st FQI Vote winner!

Unless something insane happens in the next hour, like a whole bunch of $2+ patrons joining and voting on something else, it looks like the winner is #3: - Dungeons &Dragons - Character: Unnamed - NSFW - Tenk designs and draws a dragon girl, based off the red dragon from D&D. The content of the illustration is his choice. I'll be asking my $15+ patrons for suggestions again at the end of february to prep for the 1st March round, but you can still suggest the same thing. Think it ov...

opinions please

In conjunction with the 1st vote, i'd like to ask a question. For future votes/suggesting, do you have a preferred method for me to handle it? Strawpoll, voting directly in the comments of the Patreon post, the current emails, some other polling program? I want to prevent any abuse or people only voting for themselves, but at the same time I don't actually suspect it's gonna be a real problem. Anyways, opinions? What would your preferred system be for future illustrations?

1st Full Quality Illustration vote begins!

I've gotten several of the vote options from my $15+ patrons but I can't really wait much longer and still have time to hold the vote, so as of now I'm opening the votes for 24 hours. Patrons at $2 or above are eligible for voting! If SFW/Pin-Up/NSFW option is provided, you are free to specify. To vote, please send an email titled "February 17 FQI vote" to gabsoderberg@gmail.com. If you use multiple email addresses, please use the same one that you are registered to Patreon with. $15+ patrons c...

a Starter Package to all patrons

This is just a jumbled collection of most of my nsfw and/or commission pieces, so it's not terribly well-sorted. Consider it a rushed thank you, since I'm still feeling rather overwhelmed! Any critique or feedback on how I run this patreon is always appreciated.

It Begins!

Oh man, that number shot up while I was asleep! Thank you so much for this showing of support! While I'll have to wait until the first payment is processed before I can know what's happening for sure, I put together a celebratory folder that's just tons of my work slammed together into one big heap, sort of a prototype for the $1 and $5 reward tiers. This one will just go out to every patron as a sign of gratitude, so hopefully you'll find something in there to enjoy! The 3rd week of february a...
