October Sketch Requests

The theme this month is SHOW ME YOUR POKEYMANS

0. You must post in the thread below to be eligible. Your post must follow the rules, have valid links, and your post must contain, at minimum, a complete thought. You must be okay with the finished picture being streamed and posted publicly. I reserve the right to not take a particular request for any reason. I do not check posts for validity until the first day I start the stream, so please get your request in before then and BE SURE you are actually following the rules.

0a. No, you may not privately message me a request or ask that your request be made private. You may ask me to obscure your name on the file if you want.

1. I will select about 6-12 images to draw (usually 10), and usually draw them around the last two days of this month or the first two days of next month.

2. At least three (and usually most) of these spots will be reserved for people who have not had a request answered in at least 6-8 months (was 4 months but the wait list is quite long now). Priority goes to people with the most time without a request answered. I will have a spreadsheet to help track this, but if you remember the last time you've had a request answered and you have been a continuous patron, feel free to inform me on your request.

2a. I also try to pick up some people who have never (according to my records) had requests done before, including new patrons, but this is not a guarantee.

3. Please post references for anything that's not easily searchable on google images. I'll sometimes consider text description for a single character so long as it's not overly complicated.

3a. Do not use Discord links for images. Discord links are unreliable.

4. The drawings will be done to whatever degree of finishedness I find convenient at sketch time--sometimes they will be rough sketches, and occasionally (rarely) fully inked with limited color. This depends entirely on my mood and ability on sketch day.

5. Although I will try to step out of my comfort zone for several, you will have a better chance if you request something I like to draw (Check out the stuff I do for fun if you need an idea https://www.weasyl.com/submissions/rickgriffin?folderid=15100 ) This does not necessarily exclude fanart but it's certainly not something I do often.

5a. Will Not Draw List: You can find it here! 

6. Unless you state otherwise, I will assume you are okay with either SFW or NSFW. If you specifically want one, the other, or something more NSFW than my usual, you will need to specify. I am okay with depicting sexual situations for monthly sketches but I should still have some SFW works so it's not gonna be ALL NSFW.

7.  Two character limit, though also keep in mind that two characters are harder to draw than one character, so I will often select one-character drawings. Any drawing that necessitates three characters or more will NOT be selected. Please check if your requests strongly implies three or more characters, if I can't interpret it to be only two characters max I won't select it.
