Heyhey everyone!

After reviewing how the current system has been working, I've decided to make some changes to the Character Suggestion and Waifu Wars Poll process. The goal is to make participation easier, more accessible, and more rewarding for Patreon members without requiring the use of third-party platforms such as Discord.

🤍Character Suggestions & Voting🤍

Members of the Aegis and Holy Aegis tiers will now have exclusive access to both character suggestions and voting polls.

From now on, all character suggestions and voting will take place directly through Patreon.

There will be two suggestion posts each month:

💛Poll #1 – Main Character Suggestions

In the first suggestion post, the first 20 valid character suggestions will automatically enter the monthly poll.

Rules:

One comment per member.

One character per comment.

The first 25 valid character suggestions will secure a place in the poll.

Once the suggestion period ends, a poll will be created and Aegis and Holy Aegis members will be able to vote for their favorite character.

💚Poll #2 – Underrated & Less Popular Characters

The second suggestion post will focus on characters that are moderated popular or unpopular.

For this category:

There will be no entry limit based on comment order.

Members can suggest eligible characters in the dedicated post.

Each month, I will personally select 10 characters from the submitted suggestions to enter the second poll.

The purpose of this poll is to give more visibility and opportunities to characters that would normally struggle to compete against major fan favorites.

Once selected, the final poll will be available for Aegis and Holy Aegis members to vote on.

🔥Important🔥

*To keep the selections fresh and give more characters a chance to shine, any character that receives an illustration will enter a 3-month cooldown period before becoming eligible for the polls again

Because everything will now happen directly through Patreon, the suggestion and voting periods will generally be shorter than before, so please make sure to keep an eye on Patreon notifications and posts so you don't miss your chance to participate.

This change is intended to benefit all eligible members equally by removing the need to use third-party platforms and making participation faster and more accessible for everyone.

⚠️Discord Changes

As a result of this new system, the previous Discord-based method for the Waifu Wars Polls will be retired.

Going forward, Patreon will become the main hub for character suggestions and voting.

🍓Additional Patreon-Exclusive Content🍓

I also plan to start sharing additional Patreon-exclusive content, including:

Exclusive versions of certain illustrations only for Patreon Subs.

PSD files for selected artworks.

Additional downloadable content when available.

These files will be provided through download links in the corresponding Patreon posts.

This part of the update may take me a few extra weeks to fully implement while I finish organizing everything behind the scenes, but it is already in progress.

Thank you all for your continued support and for helping shape the content I create every month. I hope these changes make participation easier, more enjoyable, and give members a more direct influence on future illustrations! 🤍🤍
