Raffle Update
6 years ago
Sorry for the constant updates and changes journals, mind keeps running miles so I have trouble keeping track.
So I will be doing the raffle as I still want practice for the comic, however there are two dilemmas. But before I do that, the raffle will start on Monday when I post the journal and line up sheet. From there I will leave it till Saturday 5 PM MST. The amount of slots there will be will depend on 2 things I'll go over later. As for the dilemmas
Dilemma 1: SO MUCH MORGAN - So this is going to be a practice effort as intro sheets and my random sketches probably wont prepare me for the actual comic. However I noticed in the question literally Everyone who wrote something picked Morgan. Morgan's the one I've drawn the most and while I would like practice and to see the ideas I dont want him to invade the others screen time, so here are the 3 compromises:
1. No Morgan - obviously more of a last case scenario but I know it might affect requests and its not like I dont want a few Morgan requests.
2. Character limit - This ones a bit safer but harder, that is to put a first come first serve on characters so no more than 3 requests on one character, however I don't want the first requests to lock out others
3. Double requests - This ones my best option but will be hard to organize. So everyone can request 2 character ideas and I will either
A. roll them all separately so you get 2 choices but the wheel can either pick one character or the other, once its picked the other is removed
B. I put a limit on how many requests one character can win so if everyone chooses Morgan and 2 win, all other Morgan requests are removed.
Dilemma 2: Uni sucks - So as you guys know I'm strapped for money and don't want and essentially cant afford to do anything free, but I want to keep this up as a possiblility. I dont mean to be greedy but depending on how well the next week goes this raffle can go from free to needing something so here are the projected compromises
1. Very little request - kinda negates the point of the whole thing
2. Donations confirm slots - This would be if you donate then you will for sure have your pic and you wont even need to roll
3. Everything will be a sketch - If you'd like the pic to be a colored + shaded it would need a donation
I really hate to do this but with how things have been going its hard to even set this up at all. Donations might only be 5 dollars, maybe through the shiny system if thats allowed but I hope if I can get things stable I wont need to ask.
So if you want to help please put in your two-cents and vote on the dilemmas (can just put D1-3A or D2-1 for a quick drop) but aside from that the raffle is confirmed for Monday. and will end on Friday.
Also quick drop off, I will be replacing Borus and Chester with valksen who will be SFW and NSFW, mostly because I realized Borus and Chester are a bit too boring (they're meant to be). Also the next teaser will be of Emile and Horus together, then the line up

Quantity (Limited Scenario): D2-3 [probably the best for practice with lineart if you want to focus on it]
Quantity (Neutral Scenario): D1-3B [best for encouraging a variety ideas to be entered in + showing off more characters]
Quality (Limited Scenario): D2-2 [I think this can fit under a good outcome as well, as there's still the raffle slot option (fewer free slots for encouragement)]
Quality (Neutral Scenario): D2-1 [if you'd like to focus more on coloring/shading practice, then this is likely the best option]
So essentially my decision isnt really a main concern, I'm more focused on whats worth it for you guys and of course I'm too biased to make a decision on something that affects your outcome. This will be the last raffle for a long time (assuming things go right) and after having to cancel things before I want to do right to you guys. Last thing I want is for the wheel to be redundant with less request than slots because its "not worth it"
I might be over-complicating things but this is kind of a dilemma that affects the requesters the most so i want the decision to be a compromise that everyone can take
I don't know your entire process for making a piece and what works best with your style, so while I can't really give a solid suggestion of what to do, but maybe there's a middle ground between lineart and colors/shades. I've seen some artists who've done occasional stream raffles with rough lineart and colors that get cleaned as they see fit (saving shaded and cleaner pieces for special occasions/milestones), but it's best to find what works out best for your artstyle and preference.
There's also still time to receive feedback/input from other users, so none of this is final yet. Raffle aside, truly hoping that you manage to find a compromise that works best for your situation.
