Fixing a problem with Patron Reqest Sketches
Added 2024-01-23 10:50:26 +0000 UTCTLDR: Every month $10 Tier Patrons will vote in a poll for a sketch theme/character - additionally to one person being picked randomly for a Request, as usual.
Hey everyone! Starting with 2024 I'm going to be fixing a problem I've had with Requests for $10 Patrons.
Ever since I started the Patreon and set the Request Sketch as a reward for the most generous supporters, there have been months when I haven't heard back from the winner - even after following up both in messages and email.
I want the monthly sketch to be a reward to all Patrons, not just the one person who gets to pick the theme for it, so I want to do something about it. I decided that I will set a limit on the time I'll wait for a response/decision from the winner and for now it will be 5 years.
All Request slots older than 5 years will be forfeit and I will fulfill them monthly. We'll do polls in which $10 Tier Patrons will be able to vote and suggest themes/characters for next round.
I think this way everyone wins- more art for you and me and some picking power for those Top Tier Patrons who weren't yet lucky enough to pick.
Cheers!

2024-01-24 10:09:22 +0000 UTCSome winners don't check their messages on Patreon and later respond to my email, some take a long time to decide, or think too long and forget. Some just don't respond at all. That's why sometimes there's nothing and sometimes I draw two in a row :)

2024-01-23 13:22:26 +0000 UTCExcited for this! I’ve been really missing the request sketches lately. I had thought you were maybe too busy with your growing family and regular comic work to offer them, but I guess people just haven’t been responding. I don’t know why anyone would pass up the chance to request your art though! I know I won’t, so I’ll be voting in every poll :)
