Week 264! (Announcing New Monthly Suggest-Drawings Thing, Check it Out!) (Patreon)

THIS MARKS PAYMENT FOR THE WEEK OF 8/25-8/31.

Okay, well, normally this is where you'd get I guess a FOURTH script update cause of the five weeks in this month of August, but... I thought of something different to do, and something I think I want to try doing from now on instead. I've not been an especially big fan of most of the updates for the Patreon being just more and more scripts for pages far in the future, as they're so far in the future that you likely won't even see the actual drawn pages for the scripts from this month for at least a year or more. It's kind of ridiculous, and I imagine it's probably not all that enthralling or engaging as a patron either.

So, an idea I randomly had this month was this: every month, probably just as replies to whatever one of these updates features them, patrons of any tier can now make suggestions/requests to me for pictures of Furthia High characters doing something or another like in the above drawings! Nothing complicated or fancy or anything obviously, as the worry for this kind of thing has always been it being a potential significant distraction from the comic itself (which I clearly don't need more of), but sketches or chibi/toon pictures of the cast interacting or doing whatever you'd like to see! I could do other characters as well if you really wanted, even interacting with FH characters, although I'd need references for them obviously and I'd be less likely to choose those suggestions over ones just featuring the comic's cast. 

If you'd like, these could also be treated somewhat like those update pictures I used to do a couple years back, where you ask a question alongside your suggestion, and the picture would come with tidbits of trivia from me about the character(s) or story or world or whatever alongside it. Kind of like an Ask the Cast thing except you're just getting me to elaborate about the question along with drawing the characters engaging in something related to it. I wouldn't expect much more out of these than the sort of stuff you see above, but still, I'm hoping this is maybe more engaging and personable to you all than just mindlessly uploading nothing but text documents.

For this one, obviously I have no suggestions, so I just drew a few things that came to my mind. First is just a cute picture of Campy and Connor together, with Connor acting like his usual loyal puppy self for Campy. The Kale and Eve picture is something I've kind of wanted to put more blatantly in the comic itself, where Eve uses her tail to wrap/hug Kale, cause I find that kind of furry extra limb stuff and their applications in little details like romance and body language and so on like this pretty interesting; plus it's also just meant to be a cute picture of another couple. The last one is, well, it's just Max being his usual flamboyant self, after a realization that Max hasn't been drawn or appeared in the comic since... uuuh... 2010! 2012 if you wanna be generous and count his fingers in one panel. I will assure you he'll be relevant again in the future, although still not for an arc or two unfortunately.

So yeah, just go ahead and reply to this if you have some idea or suggestion you'd like to see me quickly draw and post at the end of the month alongside all the other updates. Again, nothing more complicated than a chibi drawing or sketch could convey if you'd please, and FH characters are more or less a requirement, although you could try including other characters alongside them. Probably shouldn't ask for anything too 'adult' either considering this isn't an 18+ Adults Only Patreon. I'll pick like 3-5 suggestions (if nobody suggests anything I'll just draw some random ideas again I suppose) and get them out, and use unused ones potentially in the future after that. And if you have other questions, please ask!

I hope you like this idea to some degree and helps make this Patreon feel more engaging and personal to you all, cause I know it hasn't been the best investment lately, but I really really appreciate you sticking around and helping me out, I'd be lost without you guys. Thank you!
