First of the Month Updates & News for October 2026

Is it really already October 1st? Then that must mean it's time for the 1st of the month update and news!

Patron Survey Results:

First on today's news is about last month's Patron survey. I want to thank everyone who took the time to fill out and submit a response to the questions. I have been going through the results all day and will send out the DMs tonight for a personal sketch to the 3 recipients I think gave unique, insightful or very helpful responses.

There is a lot to go through and so far one thing that stuck out in several responses about new/different poses and sequence layouts. And I want to work on those so I think a good place to start experimenting with those would be with a new Mid-Month Bonus poll.

New Mid-Month Bonus Poll and Voting Tweaks

Taking into the responses for this month I will begin testing and implementing some additional rewards and tweaks to already existing rewards, with this month's Character Suggestion Polls being set to Multiple Choice but Bonus Votes staying for patrons in those tiers.

In addition to that I will have another Poll in the middle of the month with some more specific scenarios and characters for a bonus next month. I am thinking I will put this new Mid-Month Bonus Poll between the Mid-Month Update and second set of WIPs for the month. There are still a few things I may keep changing with that poll based on feedback and as part of adding some rewards. For now the Mid-Month Bonus poll (name may change) will be for either a single sketch or sketch/doodle page.

I still have a few other ideas I want to implement or change but for now I want to not change too much too quickly and make sure the new tweaks and rewards are something you enjoy and work for me as well.

Art News:

As for art news I am going to work on some personal sketches today and tomorrow then jump into Canari's bonus artwork after I post those. I have a few things I may want to draw for bonus sketches, some more self indulgent than others.

Question of the month: Do you have a favorite costume Ember's been dressed in for Halloween? Or one she hasn't worn before? Personally anything with stretchy black material and sheer cloth elements is where I'm leaning.

Monthly Polls and Full Combo tier Patron Sketch Info:

Now as per usual this month's Round 1 Character Poll will open October 3rd for ~24 hours and the Round 2 Run Off poll will be on the 4th and conclude the 5th. I will be able to tally the votes soon after and announce the winners later that day along with their belly combination. Big Burger and Full Combo tier patrons that are looking to suggest a character this month either DM me here or check out the "Character Suggestion" post from this morning in order to do so.

Patrons in the Full Combo Tier may submit your monthly sketch ideas to me anytime now and I'll begin work on those as soon as I can. Check out the main page st.ash link or see it here https://sta.sh/0rhcxb3hhiq as a refresher.

That's all the news this Thick-Girl Thursday! I want to take this final moment today to extend my gratitude and thank you for your generous support here, it has helped me immensely and continuous to do so.
