August Philanthropy (Pinup suggestions!)

Hey folks!  I hope you're having a great summer (if it's summer in your part of the world!)


PLEASE READ: I have to announce a big change regarding the pinups:

Due to updated patreon terms of service, pinups cannot be selected via RNG.


How are they chosen now?

In order to stay within the terms of service, pinup suggestions are treated like votes.  Whichever pinup suggestions have the most votes on the list, those are the ones that will be selected to be drawn for the month.  HOWEVER: The 10 vote rule still applies.  Any suggestion which gets 10 vote is automatically added to the draw queue.  

>If there are multiple characters on the 10-Vote list, the top three characters from that list are chosen.  If there are no characters on the 10-vote list, the characters with the 3 highest vote totals are chosen. Any new characters which reach 10 votes are added to the bottom of that list.

>additional votes past 10 does not increase their position on the draw list, so please feel free to vote for a new character once one has reached 10, or specify that you'd like to add them to the regular suggestion list for a second time. 

Although I liked the prior system, I believe this new system is better for a couple main reasons.


Why is the new system better?

> More consistent supporters/voters will get their characters drawn sooner

Currently, there are 146 characters on the list who have only been suggested one time.  At a rate of 3 pinups per month, that's four years worth of pinups with only 1 suggestion to their name.  This new system will prioritize both the characters more people want to see, as well as allow consistent supporters to always get their character drawn no matter what.

> It is significantly cheaper than it would be to commission me

Although I am not currently offering commissions, the last time I had open slots, my rate for a 1-character commission was $125.  Through this character suggestion route, a single character illustration is only $50 at the maximum, or even less if other people are suggesting the same character.  Furthermore, on patreon I do variations for each pinup, which would cost extra via commission.

I hope that is a sufficient explanation of why the change is happening, and how things will work from now on!  

 Here is the current character suggestion sheet!:

 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gMaF3tIkrqOrN-VlsFWyO9c7UwosFPYFxERKRAJPXRs/edit#gid=0 


One last thing: I have added a new funding goal, which will add a 4th pinup slot each month so long as the funding goal continues to be met! So, as of now, there will be 4 pinups per month instead of three!

----------------------------------------

To reiterate the two latest changes:

1) If you support me with more than $5 each month, ($10, $15, up to $20), you gain 1 additional suggestion per each $5, but it *must* be for different characters--up to 4 characters total.

 ---------------------------------------

Criteria:

This is strictly fanart (no original characters) and they have to be a character I'm able to google and find reference pictures, and the characters have to be adults; 18 years or older.

Characters who have already been drawn once CAN be suggested again! 

How the pinup is decided:

Whichever 3 pinups have the most suggestions when the suggestion period is over will be chosen to be drawn. 

Priority is given to any character on the 10 votes list first.

 If a character is suggested 10 times, it will be added to a second list, the "Draw Queue", in which it will be drawn first, before selecting any characters with less than 10 votes.  If 3 or more characters have 10 votes, the top 3 characters on the list will be drawn.

How to suggest: 

Comment which character you'd like me to draw on this post!

People who support with more than $5 a month may suggest multiple characters for each multiple of $5 ($20 a month = 4 suggestions).

What happens when a character is chosen:

When a character is chosen, that character, and any multiples of that character, are removed from the list, and they're added to the draw queue for that month.


I hope that's a sufficient explanation, I look forward to seeing what characters you have in mind!  

------------------------------------------

I will add characters to the draw queue on Sunday, September 1st.

Note: only suggestions from patrons whose $5+ payments have gone through will be added to the list (I'll be checking this)

Because an additional funding goal was met, 4 characters per month will now be chosen!

Thank you for your continued patronage!

I mistakenly counted Dick Gumshoe as having 9 votes when he actually had 10 when I posted the new list, I've since added him to the 10 votes list, so please feel free to suggest a different character! Sorry for the mistake

Sorry, both of those were mistakes on that part. Those have been fixed. Once a character gets 10 votes, further voting has no effect on the speed at which they're drawn, the selections just go down the 10-vote list each month. As fjord is already on the 10 vote list, please feel free to pick a different character! Apologies again for the mistake.

marccus

I'm a little confused by the fact it looks like Jacob Taylor is in both in the to be drawn queue and the top of the draw queue, as well as Derek being listed there twice? Though if I'm understanding correctly this means that voting for people in the draw queue ultimately has a great effect on speed at which they are picked, so in that case: Fjord from Critical role!

Fuckhands McGee

Pantheon - League Of Legends

That's very kind of you to say! That was my rate in 2018, it's likely to be different the next time I open them again, hahaha

marccus

Ike - Fire Emblem

It's the amount from the spreadsheet once the new votes are added :)

marccus

I would heart you but he already did Tonraq a long time ago

Dick Gumshoe (Phoenix Wright)

Taegan Neeley

Yashiro Nanakase - King of Fighters

Deezee Kujaku

Aegir from Housamo

oracles

Bobby Drake (Iceman) Also, $125 seems way too cheap for a commission of your quality. I'd pay three times that amount if you opened commissions again. ^^

Willrios

Surtr (FE:H)

Seth

Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age Inquisition

i'm a bit confused. does it mean that the character with the most vote in this thread gets drawn, as in if A gets 5 mentions which is the highest for this month A gets drawn? or the amount of votes is put into the spreadsheet and the highest amount there is drawn? either way mirage from apex for me please.

Da Manki

warren wothnington again! xD

Alan Aguirre

Munehisa Iwai Persona 5

David Kennedy

Sorry, just caught that, fixed and added him to the draw queue!

Bob Conway

These websites be doing too fucking much, being an artist is already strenuous enough at times, now everybody wanna type in a "WeLL AcTUalLY" in their TOS.

Silverharp

He has not been suggested before, is that who you're voting for this month? Just want to clarify
