February Sketch Submissions!
🕑 Added 2023-02-17 00:00:02 +0000 UTCAs previously stated, batch 2 of January's sketches are still being completed, but I wanted to get this up on time anyway! Feel free to submit your next sketch request even if you're in the current batch that hasn't been posted yet!
Onto the usual info:
As the top-tier patrons, you get one complimentary sketch a month! Please read this post carefully and keep the deadline in mind.
Because these are a Patreon reward rather than a commission, these sketches are handled a little bit differently for the sake of helping me keep up while still offering the quality you've all come to know me for!
So, please keep the following guidelines in mind when deciding what you'd like me to draw for you!
GUIDELINES:
- Know my ToS! Even if these follow some different rules than my regular commissions, the subject matters I will and will not draw remain the same! Make sure you read my general commission info to make sure what you're asking for is something I'm comfortable drawing.
- Single-character only! These particular sketch rewards are great for if you'd like a nice simple pinup to show off a character's design. No comic panels, backgrounds, or zoom-ins! Save ideas with multiple characters interacting for one of my regular, public commission slots! (Minor details that imply a background or character interactions are okay, but largely at my discretion so don't get your heart set on anything.)
- Please be thorough with your character info! Visual references are the best thing you can provide-- if you don't have any, make sure you include all the details you want me to know about the character in a written description! I can't include details I didn't know existed!
- Simple props and scenarios only! Floating hands, feathers, plain bondage gear, etc! I'm flexible, just make sure it's nothing wildly complicated (If your request is too complex, I may need to take some creative liberties with it and will use my own judgment)! Save ideas that require lots of minute, specific details for a commission!
- Running dry on ideas but still want your sketch? IT'S OKAY. You don't need to write me an essay every month! If you can't think of anything you'd like in particular, feel free to just write down what character you want (with references if necessary of course) and leave the scenario section blank. I can't promise any particular creative genius, but I'll come up with something. :)
- If you want your sketch to be of one of the Compass Point gang instead of your own character, that's allowed! I'm always happy to draw my own guys and frankly am delighted any time someone likes them enough to request them! Just remember to keep the other guidelines in mind when deciding what shenanigans you'll be subjecting them to.
- If it's not in the Google-form, it won't be in the sketch! Many of you know I'm more than happy to talk shop over Discord-- however, because there are a LOT of sketches to keep track of, chances are I will not remember if you tell me extra details somewhere other than your submission form itself. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that any requests or changes after the fact will be honored. Sorry!
- Gimme time to work! Make sure your information is submitted on time! It's up to each individual patron to make a request within the deadline each month-- no submission, no sketch!
- Relatedly, Monthly Sketches don't stack! Patrons are free to skip or use their sketch slots as desired, but cannot "save up" skipped months and receive sketches for them later. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position where I can keep track of or produce extra art for patrons who have skipped a month (or more).
- No WIPs or edits not related to character design! In order to streamline my process and get this high volume of individual drawings done ASAP, I will not be going back and forth with anyone for feedback like I do with commissions! (Please keep this in mind PARTICULARLY if you select the 'Surprise me!' option or leave the scenario section blank, as I cannot redo any sketches once they're finished.) If a pose or prop doesn't come out exactly like you imagined, all I can do is try my best to do better next time. You are, however, welcome to let me know if I've made any identifiable mistakes with your character's design (ex: your character has spots but I drew them with stripes) and I will do a correction round on the sketch if necessary.
- Livestreams aren't guaranteed! As the number of monthly-sketch patrons grows, so does my workload! While I love streaming for you all, streams do not follow a consistent schedule and not every sketch will be featured during a stream (nsfw or kink-related sketches are automatically sorted into the batch that isn't streamed). Streaming is currently a fun bonus treat for whoever's around to attend, not a guarantee.
- Please be nice. I am drawing upwards of 35 of these every single month and I put a lot of time and effort into them because I care a lot about doing your lovely characters and ideas justice! While I'm no stranger to making mistakes, I guarantee that no matter what I am trying to give you my very best.
- Got all that? Great, you're good to go! To officially submit your sketch request, please fill out this form no later than February 28th!
