Pinup Vote | August 2019 (Patreon)

Wait, WHERE DID JULY GO?!?

I'll be honest with you: I feel like I'm living in a time-warp right now...I wasn't able to finish nearly as much work in July as I had planned, and even now I'm crazy behind schedule.

Honestly, it's my fault for piling as much work onto myself as I have.

During August, I'm going to be focusing on getting as much of this work off my desk as possible, while getting back on track with wrapping up Sleepless Nights. As a result, I'm closing the request board for now.

I've gone through and updated all the requests with my decisions as to whether I'll do them, and will be working on them in the coming months.

I don't know when I'll open the Request board again, but it will probably be after I finish Sleepless Nights and have had a chance to recover a bit.

I'm also postponing the addition of a new character to the board until I get the chance to finish the Ceda pinup from last month.

Finally, I apologize for needing to do this again, but I'm going to be combine July and August into one big download pack at the end of August, since I wasn't able to complete enough images in July to justify putting a monthly one together.

It's been a rough 3-4 month period of art for me since this summer has been unusually busy, with several conventions and needing to travel for personal reasons. I just wanna say THANK YOU for sticking with me through this rocky period, and assure you that I'll be doing my best to get back to making stuff you love on a more steady schedule in the future!

For now, you know the drill- cast your votes and we'll see who wins a week from now!

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

--How it works--

I make a roster of characters to choose from for my pinup artwork each month. Each level of pledge gets a different number of votes, and you guys pick which character I make a pinup of that month!

--Ground Rules--

The roster keeps its vote count from month to month, but the Patron’s amount of votes doesn’t stack. That means you’ll need to use your vote(s) within a given month or you’ll lose them.

NOTE: "NEW PLAYER" slots cannot incur votes. Any vote placed on a blank slot will be allotted to the current vote leader.

• Insiders ($2) get 2 votes to spend.
  
• Zealots ($5) get 3 votes to spend.
  
• Oracles ($10) get 4 votes to spend.
  
• Pharaohs ($15) get 10 votes to spend (max 5 votes per character)
  

-Votes can be cast on one character, or split up between several.

-You can vote after this month’s voting period ends, but it won't be added until the following month.

-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 they win. -Scappo/Waystone OC’s will go on a cool-down and I'll decide when to put them back up.

Slots:

-$5+ patrons can suggest new characters in the comments section. The primary rule about this is you cannot suggest your own characters (otherwise you're basically asking for a free commission!).

Also, I reserve the right to turn down any given character suggestion. Please don't take it personally! I reserve the right to do this when I can't see myself enjoying the subject or for any other reason.

-'Artist's Choice' Characters' slots won't incur strikes, and instead are added/removed as I deem appropriate. They could be someone elses’ OC, fandom characters that haven't been suggested that I'd love to do... etc. A free-form nomination category. These slots can also still be filled by characters Patrons suggest.

--Strikes:--

-If a character receives less than 3 people voting on them each month, they will receive 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.

-Passing 100 votes nulls the strike system for that character.
