May update: PollResults + SuggestionBox + Lore

hallo lovelies!

first things first! the winner of the first poll was Chae! you can see her profile here if you hadn't previously checked it out: https://refsheet.net/NixKat/chae so i'll be getting to work on a cozy winter-themed pit of this cute bearista this month!

i'm also aaaaaalmost done with my "sample" Richelle pic. there are WIPs of that on discord. i seem to have forgotten how to shade properly since i haven't done it in a while so it's been a struggle, but i'm getting there. i hope to have that finished up and posted for yall soon.

related to the polls, at first i wanted to pick one theme (ie winter) and do a BUNCH of characters in that theme to make little sets. but i've realized that...i have way too many OCs to do something like that, and also it'll get boring. so i think i'm going to start doing polls for yall to pick the theme of the pinup too!

however, i'll need some help thinking of themes, and i want to choose ones that yall will like. so i'm going to be making a "suggestion box" channel in the patreon section of the discord. you all can throw pinup theme suggestions there, but also suggestions for things to do with this patreon in general! i like feedback ^_^ i'd do the theme poll a week or two before the character poll.

right now, patrons of all tiers can suggest anything, and will get finished pictures early before the public, but only Moonbeams will be able to vote in polls.

finally, i've been thinking of also adding a section to the patreon discord channels for my OC and species lore, and to ask/answer questions about them. i know sometimes folks ask about them, so i'd like to have a space to answer those questions and share tidbits that i have. now please keep in mind, i am NOT a worldbuilder or a storyteller - i just like to make pretty things - and most of my stuff isn't very thought-out. but i'd like to make things more interesting for them and for you, so i'll be getting those channels up soon! those will also be open to ALL patron tiers.

okay, i think that's it for now! i hope yall have a lovely weekend, and i'll get to work on those discord channels and new arts!
