In like a lion, out like a Doodle (Patreon)

Beware the Ides while you're making your request. The rules have been updated, so give 'em a quick once-over:

1. R rated or tamer. Nudity OK, female preferred. Males can't have boners waving around, and venery scenes will be composed so "nothing shows."

2. If characters are naked, they need to be OBVIOUSLY adults. The old "she's actually a thousand year old vampire who just happens to look like a little kid" explanation is not gonna cut it.

3. Avoid politics and current events, because no matter what it is, half of the people are gonna hate it. I hesitate to put my own opinions into my cartoons and I certainly don't want to get in trouble for drawing somebody else's.

4. My characters or yours. Third party characters only with well documented permission. No fan art of corporate-owned characters from games, movies, TV, comics, etc.

5. Put your request in the comments of the most recent Doodle post. Right now, that is this one, but posts get pushed down the page as new ones are added, making older ones harder & harder to view as time goes on. Doodles almost always have the word "Doodle" in the tags. The Rules post is tagged "Doodle Club" to make it easier to find.

6. Don't make blank requests as "place holders" to try to reserve your spot in the queue. I sometimes draw Doodles a few days in advance. If I get to your placeholder before you've made your real request, I will treat that as your request and draw a dumb placeholder Doodle, and you will lose your turn. It's not worth it. Just put your request under the latest post when you're ready, as per rule 3.

7. Try not to revise, edit, or change your request after you've posted it. If you must, put the revision under the latest Doodle post, as per rule 3. Understand that it may be too late to make changes if I've already drawn your Doodle in advance.

8. Deadline to make requests is the 15th. I will try to remind you as the date approaches, but I cannot guarantee that I will. It is up to you to get your request in on time.

9. Provide links to reference images and fully describe any important details you want to see in the picture. Do not assume I know anything about anything! "You've drawn them before" does not constitute a reference. My personal archives are not indexed and not easily searchable, so if it's been more than a couple of months since I last drew the character, you can expect them to look very different than you remember.

10. Doodle production time is about an hour. Complexity of request and sloppiness of execution are directly proportional. Reading descriptions and looking at reference images also eats into drawing time. Keep it in mind when making your request!
