2018 Patron's choice
🕑 Added 2017-11-03 05:07:56 +0000 UTC Almost finished with all unfinished stories so from now on, every other month will be patron's choice where I take a 6 page comic request from my top support total patron and working my way down from there.(Of course the odd months will still have the standard vote.)
For 2018 the patrons will be
Jan: Artificer Don
March: Cyrix
May: Scratch
July: Griff
Sept: Henriksen
Nov: Dantels
Message me on the comic topic for those months, and thank you for so much support.
I'll begin the November poll soon. (And With october out of the way, I can also finish the last of the unfinished tales.)

Honestly, that sounds very interesting. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but even without the discount, I'll be ecstatic just having another opportunity to commission you, Sir.

thanks for the heads up, now i just have to wait for if/when i get a future spot.

I give myself a pretty big commission budget each month but lately these past couple of months no-one I have tried to commission has wanted my money.... so if I had any chance of getting away with it (curse you spreadsheets!!!) I could probably do a good job of trying to hijack a comic spot. And as a multi-decade long fan of yours I would do it without regrets.. hehe :)

If you're certain it can't be hijacked, then that is a relief. I worry about people abusing some policies.

Okay. I'll think about making another patron appreciation commission list instead. Maybe I'll make a BW commission discount for the first 2 characters based on total support history at 10%. So if your total support history is 1000, free 2 character bw commission or a free 1 character color commission or 100$ off the 4 character commission. I'll have to make it in 10 dollar increments because I can only have 10 coupon codes active at once. (100 off to 10 off. rounded up at 5+)

A comic commission would be just like the vote. you tell me which two characters and leave the rest to me. If I have to follow a script/layout it's going to be a LOT more expensive.

Donor history is on a spreadsheet Mav. And for someone to hijack a the list? To hijack vs the current top 6? That's an expensive hijack just for a 6 page comic.

if i had one of those spots i would suggest characters, positions and perhaps a general theme/concept for the scene if that was allowed. all the other specifics like dialog, layout etc. i would fully leave in the good doctors more than capable hands.
MaveriKat
If you're doing this in order from greatest donators to least for years to come, I'd suggest you take a screen cap. People might try and hack the system by suddenly giving a LOT more in one month to try and boost their spot.

I'm much more a fan of you opening up for commissions, but that's my opinion on the matter. I'm more curious as to how you got the idea for this. And top total? Either way, if this is an experiment, I could sit back for a year. I just think the commissions would be more varied and hope they come back in 2019.

Hopefully the requests have to be simple ones, not ones where the person wants to lay out every single panel and page, the dialog, etc etc. If it's just "male a and female b" then I think you'd be fine. Anything more than that would likely be pretty stressful on you. They'd have to agree with having the pages posted on here and on tumblr like all the regular comics have been too.

single page comic commissions are the alternative. In lue of a 3 character commission.

I’m of the same opinion, while I’d love a mini comic...I looooove commissions more.
Daedrius Storm
There is never going to be a time where I will say no to commissions being opened by you. If I have to choose between this new option and that, I will definitely choose to have commissions open. Just my dime.
Mikey
I mean this in a very comical and light-hearted sort of way... I'm not trying to be be bitchy
Mikey
To be honest who wouldn't want a 6 page comic from you? ... I would LOVE it. The only issue (as selfish as it may sound) that I think of is that it will probably be 5-10 years before you get to mine.... and I could be dead by then .. lol
Booty Doc
I was under the impression that quite a few people wanted personal request stories. But if commissions are more interesting I can make up something for that.
Booty Doc
Would you guys rather have that?
Mikey
Bummer ... I was hoping to see a new run of commissions. :/
