Last call for Doodles
🕑 Added 2020-12-01 14:00:02 +0000 UTCI'm going to have to shut down the Doodle Club. The past few months have each been a nail-biting race against the clock to get all of my commissions done before the deadline. This time I had to squeeze out what I really feel is sub-par work at the last minute, which I don't feel proud of, and that really bothers me. It's not fair to my commission patrons, who are paying top dollar, to get rushed & sloppy art from me. It also doesn't feel fair to me, after calculating the amount of work I do for posting here, dividing my total Patreon income by the number of days worked and realizing that I'm getting paid approximately $25 a day for it. (Too depressed now to try dividing that down to an hourly rate.) It all seemed doable back in the summer when everyone was afraid of Covid and my social schedule was completely empty. Now that real life is starting to lay claim to me again, it's a different story. There's very little time left over to draw things I want to draw. I only managed to make two Thompson pages this month. There should have been more. I have got to lighten this workload before I burn out.
Therefore, this is the last month for $10 Doodle Club. Go ahead and make your requests as usual, but remember to change your subscription to a different tier before the end of December. I will unpublish this tier and stop posting to it after the last Doodle of 2020 is done.
Doodles will continue to be a benefit of Super Secret Double First Class and the commission tiers, but I'm assuming the price tag will limit the number of takers there ... and if not, well, maybe the increase in pay will make me feel better about being constantly busy.
Another factor to consider is that if all of you move down to $4 it could reduce my total monthly income below $600, which will put Zandar's Saga back on a 2-pages-a-month schedule (posting 1 a month on FA). Slower Zandar might be bad, but on the other hand less pages to draw could be the bit of breathing room I need.
Anyhow, here's the Doodle rules once more for old time's sake:
1. Requests must appear in comments of the latest Doodle post (currently this one, but later on, as new posts push old posts down the page they get harder and harder to view)
2. R rated or tamer. Nudity OK, female preferred. Males can't have erections showing. Venery scenes will be composed so naughty bits aren't visible.
3. Your characters or mine. Third party with owner permission. No fan art of corporate trademark characters from games, movies, cartoons, etc that I could get sued over.
4. Production time is supposed to be an hour start-to-finish, which includes reading your request and studying any reference material. Please keep it simple.
5. Deadline is December 20th to get your request in. After that I have to switch over to frantic commission work.

The end of Doodle Club is sad, but completely understandable. Thank you for all the myriad fun doodles! Since you’ve previously doodled Dactyl, my last request is a pic of Anapaest to complete the sibling set. She could be doing something christmassy like sipping mulled wine or singing a carol, or whichever yuletide thing you feel like drawing :-) Ref: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38333747

I would like my panda character drawn being booted out of the Doodle Club by a disembodied leg/foot/paw. The owner of said booting limb should be out of view while a word bubble (stating something along the lines of "It's Closing Time" or "We're Shutting Down") hangs over the entire picture. I would request being the penultimate doodle right before Simone's, but it feels like that'll just put more work on your plate.
I'll have to postpone it until I'm sure no further requests can come in (i.e. the 21st or later)

Hanna (the stewardess from the Nov picture) and myself at an airport coffee shop with german style food and coffee as I ask her if she wants to come back to my place on her off night from work (which she seems rather open to the idea) .maybe have some christmas theme going on in the picture since it is Dec
CTN
Some of the HLC girls done up in ribbons and bows as "living presents," saying something like "You can definitely open us before Christmas, boys!"

Completely understandable, and I'd rather you feel better about your work than burn out and be unhappy! For my Doodle this month, I want to go with the tradition I typically always go with: Our Holy Divinity Fuma enjoying the winter once more, either relaxing with something nice or just appreciate the season as befits her whims.

Unfortunate, but understandable. For mine we find Robota doing the naked apron thing while cleaning up. Rina is sitting on her couch in a tshirt and panties and has taken notice in more ways then one. XD

(I fall into the category, by the way, of being very sorry but understanding over the shutting of Doodle Club.)

Tali, Wolf Queen and Ooo-er, having finally reconciled, enjoy a nice furrydip in the pond where the whole thing started. This time, no Gaps will interrupt the innocent fun, :)

Can i have Philomela "close the courtain" on the doodle club (think as if it were a theater thing) ... as the last doodle you draw this month? 😉💖
Walter Reimer
The Goddess Fuma, wearing a Santa hat and riding a tricycle with a happy smile on Her face (apparently Tilki got Her a gift for Christmas, and She decided to roll with it). Maybe a Christmas tree in the background.
Eric Costello
Ginger Hartley looks like she didn’t read the memo from LB, and forgot that she volunteered to host the Christmas party...
