Happy June, Everyone. Vote HERE!
Some quick updates to voting:
Characters need at least 4 people casting at least one of their votes, to avoid receiving a strike (up from 3), and require 100 votes (up from 75)before they become immune to strikes.
Reason: with the long waitlist, and sheer number of patrons, characters should have at least a decent number of people interested in them to justify doing a large, HQ involved piece for everyone to enjoy. Otherwise, other characters should be given a chance to earn votes, and this should help refresh the pool of vote-able characters.
Remember, $25 patrons get 10 votes, but a max of 5 to any one character.
June news in general: Sorry about the lack of HD updates in May, there was a big period of anxiety that weighed me down for a while at the start of the month, and with the comic upstart, I didn't entirely get to complete all the art I wanted to. On the plus side, several of those things are now halfway-or-more done, and so will show up this month. I'm trying not to worry so hard about "HAVE TO" finish by the end of each month, as I don't want to rush anything for quantity sake, but I always want to make each month's support worthwhile. So, expect some of these WIPs like ARA daki, Nyt pinup, ARA stickers and such extra artwork in June, despite it being a little busier:
BLFC! I will be at Biggest Little Fur Con in Reno, NV this weekend. Table 80/81 with my friends Pmossfox and Onnanoko. I'll have some prints, dakis, books, so feel free to say hi!
Anthrocon! I will also be at AC at the end of this month/start of July, and either be in AA or dealer's, not sure which yet, if any, but if you plan on going, I may see some of you there!
On to voting:
=================
How voting works:
I make a roster of characters to choose from for my primary artwork each month. Each level of pledge gets a different number of votes, and you guys pick what I end up doing! Rules are...
=================
Votes:
-The roster keeps it's vote count from month to month.
-1$ Patreons get one(1) vote to spend. 5$ get two(2), 10$ get three(3), 25$ get ten(10), but can only put a maximum of 5 on one given character.
-Multiple votes can be on one character, or split up between several, to a maximum of 3.
-You can vote after it ends, but it won't be added til after the winner is decided.
-Votes only count if your pledge processed that month. If your pledge is declined, I will put the votes "on hold", and add them later if the pledge goes through. Likewise, If the pledge doesn't go through, the votes aren't counted. I check all votes for number and pledge accuracy.
-If your pledge is worth more votes than you use, say a 10$ tier patron casting only 1 vote, I will automatically assign all 3 votes to that one vote. If they vote "1 for character A and 1 for character B", then I will pick myself either A or B to receive the unassigned 3rd available vote.
Add/Remove Character Rules:
-Fandom and Other OCs will be removed when won.
-FK OCs will go on a cooldown and I'll decide when to put them back up.
Slots:
-$5 and up patrons can suggest new characters in the comments section. I can turn down a character suggestion, but please don't take it personally! I will only do this when I -really- can't see myself enjoying the subject or for some other reason I reserve the right to.
-'Artist's Choice' and 'FK OCs' slots won't follow strikes, and instead are added/removed as I deem desired or necessary. They could be other's OCs, fandom characters that haven't been suggested that I'd love to do... etc. A free-form nomination category. Can still be characters supporters suggest!
Strikes:
-If a character receives LESS than four (4) people voting on them each month, they will get a strike.
-Three(3) strikes total removes them from the roster. They can be re-nominated, and if accepted, will then be put at the end of the current waitlist.
- If a character gets struck out on a month you voted for them, you're refunded said votes, and can re-cast for another character. The winner will have already been picked but at least the votes wouldn't feel 'wasted'.
-Passing 100 votes nulls the strike system for that character.
