January Philanthropy (Pinup Suggestions!)
🕑 Added 2019-01-18 10:00:49 +0000 UTCHello folks, and happy new year!
Some months I do the randomizer pinups before anything else, but this month I'm going to be finishing the rest of the towards the end of the month - However! I wanted you all to have lots of time to suggest characters before the month ends, so I'm making the suggestion post now!
The final 2 characters chosen for January were: Archangel from Xmen, and Zabaniyya from Housamo.
**IMPORTANT CHANGES** (2 TOTAL)
1) I am changing my mind on allowing one person give multiple votes for one character, I didn't think it through clearly, and realized it would allow the system to be manipulated too easily. So:
If you support me with more than $5 each month, ($10, $15, up to $20), you gain 1 additional suggestion per each $5, but it *must* be for different characters--up to 4 characters total.
2) You can now view the current character suggestion sheet!:

About the sheet: The sheet you see is *not* the one I use for selection; this sheet has been organized by alphabetical order and the number of current suggestions added for clarity, as well as past chosen characters listed. The sheet actually used for selection is not organized, and characters are added as they are suggested.
Reminder: one of last month's changes is that everyone who suggests a character has a chance to get a sketch of their choice from me! This is separate from the character pinup list, but also uses RNG. I will use the randomizer to decide who gets the sketch on February 2nd. This current month, the sketch winner asked me to keep the sketch private, and so I did, but next month whoever gets the sketch may allow it to be posted! So we'll see :)
---------------------------------------
Criteria:
This is strictly fanart (no original characters) and they have to be a character I'm able to google and find reference pictures, and the characters have to be adults; 18 years or older.
Characters who have already been chosen by the randomizer CAN be suggested again!
Starting in 2019, anthropomorphic characters can be suggested.
How the pinup is decided:
I am going to take your suggestions and add them to a numbered list. Then I'll use a random number generator to pick a number, and with the number, a character is chosen!
How to suggest:
Comment which character you'd like me to draw on this post!
People who support with more than $5 a month may suggest multiple characters for each multiple of $5 ($20 a month = 4 suggestions).
What happens when a character is chosen:
When a character is chosen, that character, and any multiples of that character, are removed from the list, and they're drawn for that month. The reason multiples are removed from the list is so that other characters have a better chance of getting picked next time. *However* the next month, you can suggest the same character again.
Although it's randomly determined, if a lot of people ask for the same character, it increases the chances that character is drawn for that month.
I hope that's a sufficient explanation, I look forward to seeing what characters you have in mind!
I will use the random number generator to pick the characters on Friday, February 1st.
Note: only suggestions from patrons whose $5+ payments have gone through will be added to the list (I'll be checking this)
Because an additional funding goal was met, 3 characters per month will now be chosen!
Finally, as an additional reminder, all the suggestions from last month are STILL on the list, only those selected are removed, so if you really wanted to see a specific character, feel free to suggest them again, they'll be on the list twice (or more) and will increase the chance they're selected!
**ADDITIONALLY**: Since the third and final additional pinup slot has been added, I've decided to use that slot in two ways:
One: if a character gets suggested 10 times and STILL hasn't been chosen, it gets added to a second list, and a second randomizer will be used to pick from that list to fill the third slot. This way, characters that are suggested multiple times are guaranteed to get drawn in a more timely manner. There are a handful of characters very close to this point, so hopefully they'll be chosen very soon!
Two: if there are no characters on that second list, it functions like a regular slot.
Thank you for your continued patronage!
