Hello, everyone!
Thank you for supporting the Whitney Cosplay Series for the fourth year running! This was a fantastic return to the series after taking 2018 off, and after tallying up all of the votes across all 31 sketches, a winner has been decided:
Maid Marian, from Robin Hood: Men in Tights!
For reference, here were the top three winners and their final vote counts:
#1: Maid Marian - Robin Hood - 402 Votes
#2: 2B - Nier Automata - 394 Votes
#3: Sophie - Anastasia - 382 Votes
So it was EXTREMELY CLOSE, and I seriously thought 2B wouldn't be touchable by anyone else. But while she performed extremely well on Twitter, she underperformed on FurAffinity and DeviantArt, which is where Maid Marian closed the gap. This means Maid Marian will be the first piece to be inked and colored, while the rest now enter the funding phase.
And as promised, you all get early access to the funding link, 48 hours before the rest of the general public! It's already up and running, so click below to visit the special Patreon-exclusive funding gallery:

Click the "2019" button and the funding links will show up. When sending a donation towards a piece, you must enter either $30 to unlock the full color version, or $50 to also unlock the topless/nude edit for that piece. And remember that funding a cosplay also purchases ownership of that piece of original inked lineart, to be shipped along with your copy of the book once it is complete next year.
Thank you to everyone for supporting us on here! I'll be back soon with additional updates to the Patreon rewards here, now that the craziness of the 2019 sketch phase is done.
