Howdy, pardners! (Patreon)

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening/ fellas!

With all the dust settled, I'm making this post to welcome y'all to the Tip Jar! There ain't no way to express how grateful I am to all of you, for just being here. :) Furthermore, each one of you who sign up for any tier between the 20th and the 31th of January, will be excused from your pledges on February. It's only fair!

Most importantly, I now want to take my time to explain the mechanics of this game, how it works for the various different tiers, and what you can expect from here on out, as I start building up this page.

There are three mechanics that I specifically want to address: The Poll™ ($5 tier upwards); poll suggestion and character pin-ups ($25 tier exclusives).

The Poll™ is a monthly event which will take place every 15th of each month, and it'll take the form a poll available here, on my Patreon. You'll have the option to vote on said poll from an arrange of characters, and the winner will be featured on a full illustration that'll be posted 15 days later, the 1th of the next month, and make available across all three tiers.

Who choses the characters for the Poll, you may ask? The answer is simple. One will be submitted by me. The others are up to ya, Earth Cowboys! I'll be receiving your submissions via Patreon messages, from the 1st to the 14th of each month. You can submit one character per poll, and you can change it at any point before the 15th, on which the Poll will be uploaded.

As of now, I'm evaluating the possibility of two polls per month, one every two weeks. So we'll see how that works!

The other important mechanic on this game, are the monthly sketch commissions! Available for all five Earth Cowboys, each month you'll have the right to claim a pin-up bust/chest up sketch of any character of your choice, be an OC of yours, or a character from an stablished franchise. You can submit you character, along with any references needed starting on the 1st of each month, and I'll be delivering all five of them simultaneously, around the 15th. It may be a simple one, but it is still a commission, so I'll be sure to provide updates and ask for feedback regularly, if needed.

This is all from me, for now. I didn't want to just show up with a bunch of text, so: The first few sketches/studies I did a few weeks with our Tiger friend here! You can see how his design was first conceived and how he evolved leading to the final piece. He... uh, he doesn't really have a name yet. Perhaps you can think of one?

I'll continue answering any further questions via DMs. Good evening, and stay safe!
