Poll Results + General Updates

First up, this month's poll has concluded and I tabulated most of the results (counting total votes for the characters that looked like they had a chance in silver + bronze polls and adding them together).  The top 5 for the males are:

Brutus: 27 votes
Zen: 21 votes
FutaKat: 18 votes
Keith: 16 votes
Carver: 10 votes

A surprise showing from Carver, narrowly snatching fifth place thanks to a strong lead in the bronze poll.  Top 5 for females are:

Natani: 31 votes
Clovis: 24 votes
Madelyn: 17 votes
Raine: 14 votes
Flora: 11 votes

More surprises here, as perennial favorite Raine takes 4th behind surprise Maddie.  Now I dunno if this will be an 8 character or 10 character pic, I haven't even begun to think of poses and only mildly toyed with the idea of settings (one last beach pic?  some sort of baths or onsen?).  Now that we've got the characters, though, I can start to think of pairings.  One that's immediately hilarious is just pairing them based on their place in the votes, but there's also several popular pairs there that I think people may want to see (Brutus and Clovis, Keith and Natani, Raine and Zen, and uh... I dunno Flora and FutaKat, rounded out by Carver showing Maddie what the west basitins taught him?  Or Clovis and Brutus, Zen and Natani, Keith and Madelyn, FutaKat and Raine?).  If you've got ideas for a setting, or a set of pairings you want to see, comment below.

In other news, I found the pause button for Patreon billing, and hit that in the middle of the month.  So no one new should be able to subscribe, and you all that are here should continue on at the tiers you were signed up at.  I will have to set it again in the middle of November, but that should allow me time to get Boycurious done while still providing you updates here.  The last month with the new job and other stuff going on in life has been very hectic.  Usually pretty exhausted when I come home from work, but I'm starting to hit my stride and hope that won't be the case for too long.  Have some errands to run tonight, but I'm thinking when I come home I'll get some drawing done - basically the only drawing I've gotten done all month, if that happens.
