Important PSA about the future of polls and suggestions

Hi everyone I hope you all are having a nice weekend.

I come here to give an update to the Patreon and I hope everyone can understand my decision. The latest poll with be the last one. I will not longer do nominations and polls based on everyone's suggestions.

The last few years the poll hasn't been working like I intended. Originally it was made so I could keep up with what is trending and new. However, most of the time suggestions where more focused on niche characters or characters whose trending already passed by the time the poll concluded.

While, I do see the appeal to have niche characters you want to see drawn, between the commissions and the polls, with my already overloaded art schedule I was not able to work on popular characters or my own ideas I am passionate about.

I want to have my artistic voice shine in my own work. I want to show more what I like, ideas I find fun, and work on the characters and ideas that I love most. As an artist it's often hard and worrisome to work on things you want to rather than what everyone else does for fear of people not enjoying the work and leaving. It's something I really want to improve about myself.

If you have niche characters or OCs you want, my commissions are always open and I would still be glad to draw them.

Polls will not be going away entirely. I am planning to just change how they work as well as do some fun things; dress up/undress OCs, situations like the one we did with bunny. Overall creating a more healthy relationship where you all help me decide what to draw between my own ideas and characters I want to draw.

Thank you everyone for listening and hopefully understanding.

TL;DR
Polls and suggestions will change.
