Alright I've figured this out!
After running it by you guys during the streams and thinking about it some more I've decided to from now on use the old unused Monthly Commission Pool suggestions to fuel the live stream sketches.
That way even if one of your ideas was left unused for a full color pic you will still eventually get a sketch done of it, so it's still a win.
However I still want to have different themes for each stream, so I will still ask at the beginning of each stream or here if I ever run out of backlogged suggestions.
So what I'm thinking of doing is starting every stream with two sketches:
-An unused Monthly Commission Pool idea.
-A Stream Theme suggested by you guys or a dA/FA watcher.
Stream Themes will be the broader subjects, like actions, poses, feelings, expressions, tv shows, games, movies, comics, etc. and I will apply those to whatever I want to draw for that particular theme, so I might draw one of my characters or something with the theme you suggested.
Anyone will be able to submit Stream Themes, even if they're not a Patreon pledger, though if you are it will help increase its chances of being picked.
I'll also sprinkle in a few requests from dA/FA watchers in place of the unused Monthly Commission Pool idea every other stream or so just to shake things up.
After those two sketches are done I'll probably use the stream to continue working on other commissions from outside of Patreon or the actual Commission Pool ideas that will be done in full color.
I think this is the best way to go about it that would keep both you guys and non-Patreon audiences involved. What do you guys think?
