Hi! How's everyone doing? For those who celebrate it, did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

As the journal title says, I'll be updating how I approach commissions from here on. I have come to find out that the random name picker I use seems to not be as random as I had hoped, with a few pickers picking the same few names much more than others.

Because of this, I will move away from raffles and instead use forms. I think this will be good as it does allow a lot more freedom for me and those who support me.

I forsee this being good as it will allow me freedom to pick and choose what I can do at the moment (such as I may have time for a sketch or inked drawing but not a fully rendered piece) and when I take it on.
I also forsee some issues with this method so I will have to do a lot to think about before I decide on this path.

As for raffles...

I will be going for random number generators as they seem to be very good (rather than name pickers) so from here on out.

That said, I have done raffles on Bluesky and Twitter/X with a large degree of success including fun free raffles YCH images.

Because I rarely see them on FA, I'm not sure what people think of them. Especially with people posting regular updates. It's a lot different on social media than a gallery site like FA

That said.

Would you guys be happy if I do the odd Raffle here?
What about raffles for YCH?

I may make one for the new year if people like the idea. :)
