Patreon Choice March 2016 Pitch Call

While I work on the winner of the February 2016 Patreon Choice, let's get your suggestions for the March 2016 voting! What's that you say? March is almost over? Well, I know that, but I'm not in this business to disappoint my biggest supporters (yes, I mean you), so I want to try to catch up over the next couple of weeks.

February's runner up, "Nintendo x SNK Crossover", will be reused in the March voting, so don't bother suggesting that one.

Starting this month, idea pitching wi...

Comic: Night Call page 2

Here is the second page of the "Night Call" comic, which won my previous personal project poll (and should have been executed in February). Has it really been almost two months since I posted the first page of this?

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but commissions are still taking most of my time. I hope to catch up soon and get back to give proper attention to all of you who have supported me so. Meanwhile, I'll post the polls for your choices tomorrow, both the personal project poll (which...

$1/Month Tier Reward Change

Due to a large amount of detailed commissioned work getting into my queue since the beginning of 2016, the amount of time I've had for personal projects has shrunk considerably lately. For this reason, and as not to allow the accumulation of personal project poll winners waiting for execution, I'm reducing the frequency of the personal project polls from fortnightly to monthly. This affects all $1+ tier patrons, who will have less opportunities to vote to determine my next personal project work....

The State of the Artist - 2016-02-22

I don't know if this is something that would interest you, but seeing as you all have been so generous to me through your patronage, I feel that I owe some elaboration on my present situation to all of you.

Things are stagnated. Since mid December, my son has been on school vacation, which has allowed me to spend longer nights working on my artistic commitments. Despite all that time spent on doing art, I feel that skill improvement has been slow lately. I've been struggling particularly w...

Personal Project Poll - 2016-02-07

Yes, I did say that I would do these twice a month, but the last month was crazy with commissioned work load, and this ended up slipping to February. On the plus side, I was able to conclude the previous poll's chosen option, so there you have it! :)

This poll's options will be very similar to the last one's, since I haven't really had time to think about personal projects other than my anthro "Musteladies" concept, which is my big bet for 2016. As usual, voting is open to all my $1+ tier ...

Comic: Night Call page 1

This is the first page of a comic prominently featuring Shining Armor and Princess Luna that I'm creating along with my pal McNum, and it became real because you voted for it in my last personal project poll! Each new page will become an option in upcoming polls, so if you're interested in seeing the continuation to this first page cliffhanger, you already know what to vote for. ;)

Thank you all for your participation and support!

Patron Choice: February 2016 Winner

Patrons have spoken, and the winner of the Patron Choice voting for February 2016 is option #4, "Celestia and Luna's Midnight Snack". This piece will be executed during this month, so look forward to it popping up here and in my other galleries!

Option #6, "Nintendo x SNK Crossover" was the runner up, and therefore will be recycled for next month's voting.

Thank you to all who have participated in this and who keep on supporting me, I hope never to disappoint you. :)

Patron Choice Voting: February 2016

Here we go again! We have six options this time, and as I said before, two options from the previous voting were recycled for this one. The winning idea will be executed during February, and the runner up will get a second chance on the next voting.

Thank you so much to all the patrons who pitched me funny and interesting ideas to make this voting more interesting. :)

Voting is open to all $5+ tier patrons and will run until the end of January; Pleas...

Patron Choice Drawing - 2016-01

This is the piece pitched by outlaw4rc and chosen by you for this month: "Aloha Cuties", featuring outlaw's own OC Surfing Bloom and Fair Dahlia's ponysona!

Thank you to everyone who participated on the selection of this piece, and I hope that you all find it enjoyable. :)

Patron Choice: January 2016 Winner and February 2016 Pitch Call

The patrons have spoken, and the Patron Choice Illustration for January 2016 will be option #3, "Aloha Cuties", pitched by outlaw4rc. Congratulations! I'll get to work on it as soon as possible, since this seems like something that I'll really enjoy working on!

Options #1 (Sega x SNK crossover) and #2 (Fighting Gardevoirs) were tied for second place, and therefore will both be recycled for next month's voting.

Meanwhile, I would like to call for all $1...

Patron Choice Voting: January 2016

So, same as the Personal Project Voting, I'm somewhat late with this... but that just means that I'll have to cut down the voting time. Regardless, count on the most voted option being executed during this month!

As promised, except for 2, all the options here are recycled from the previous voting. 2 is a late suggestion that didn't make into the first voting.

Voting is open to all $5+ tier patrons and will run for 3 days after this post has been published; Please vote throug...

Personal Project Poll - 2016-01-04

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm late! Holiday blues plus a bad stomach flu dictated that I ended up neglecting my patrons for a little while, for which I apologize. It's time to catch up, I guess!

Voting for these personal projects will last for 48 hours after this post is published, and is open to all $1+ patrons. Please vote through either a comment or a Patreon private message, stating the number of the chosen option.

Last time, option 1 won; This time, 1 and 3 are new ...

Patron Choice Drawing - 2015-12

The winning idea of the voting for the first "Patron Choice" drawing was "a pony interacting with a human". Without any more information, it was up to me top fill up the blanks, and so I went with this illustration of Lyra playing her Lyre along with Skyward Sword's Zelda (yeah, I know that she's not human, strictly speaking, but she's close enough).

I took advantage of this opportunity to try out shading with several different textured brushes, and this resulted in a noticeably inconsiste...

The Valley At Dusk

The result of your Personal Project Poll choice. Thank you for having me draw this, it was great fun. :)

Next time: an urban scenery. Now THAT is much harder.

Personal Project Poll Winner - 2015-12-10

The patrons have spoken, and my next personal project shall be the countryside landscape painting! Way to make me get out from my comfort zone, people!

I'll try to have that concluded within a few days, and on Christmas day, I shall post the next poll. Thank you once again so much for your support!

Personal Project Poll - 2015-12-10

As I have previously announced, I added a new reward that will allow patrons to choose which among a few of my personal projects I should work on next. These are project of personal interest to me, and that usually end up taking a backseat to other artistic commitments such as commissions, rewards, prizes and collective projects.

I'll be posting these polls twice a month (I've settled on the 10th and 25th of each month), and the voting will run for 3 days after the post is published. All $...

New Reward Tiers

I have created two new reward tiers for potential patrons who would like to sponsor me with amounts lower than $5/month, but are not able to justify doing so without any kind of reward.

For $1/month, you get to vote on a fortnightly poll to decide which between a bunch of my personal projects and ideas I should tackle next.

For $3/month, you get on-demand access to my layered work files (Manga Studio ...

Patron Choice Voting: December 2015

Without further ado, allow me to put up the ballot for the first Patron Choice drawing, to be executed in December of 2015!

Whenever possible, I'll be listing the ideas as they were sent to me, and without the author's names attached at this stage - the winning idea's author will be revealed at the end of the voting period. The details for any idea that was intentionally left vague will be filled

All $5+ tier patrons are entitled to cast a vote for their favorite option by...

Patreon Reward: You Could Stay.

A Patreon reward for one of my top level patrons, featuring Toriel offering you a delicious slice of butterscotch cinnamon pie.

I played the game in preparation for this piece. It was very good. Maybe not good enough to warrant the kind of reaction it has been getting in some places, in my opinion, but still, very much worth a go.

Pitch Call: Patron Choice Illustrations for 2015-12 and 2016-01

I explained all about the new Patron Choice Illustrations in my last text post - go read if you didn't catch it! And now, it is to go forth and make the first call for ideas for the first two illustrations!

Since I don't want to keep you waiting more than two months for the first illustration, this first call will be shorter than usual (the normal is for it to last a whole month) and will be used for selecting the two first illustrations of this series. Also exceptionally, this call wil...
