Monthly Waifu Poll for January 2023 -Results- (Patreon)

Results are in and.... OMG! That was really the first thing I blurted out when I saw how the poll numbers were developing! But really, I did not expect Olga to win! I think this actually makes it a historical moment since we've always had either Game characters or Anime characters win the poll. Never before have we seen a character from a Hentai OVA win the poll. I noticed Olga's name emerging in the suggestions a few times in our waifu polls and initially thought she might have come from an isekai anime series I've not watched before.


I was surprised to find that Olga actually comes from an erotic visual novel later adapted into 6 episode hentai OVA. So yeah! This is definitely a first for me to see a hentai OVA character win the poll.

I guess my second surprise was seeing how close Raiden came to winning a 2nd time. Guess she still has it! I thought she might be behind the Nikke characters when I thought about the most recent trends, but I was wrong. It does make me think I should draw her again since Raiden art was what really exploded across the internet for me personally. Since I'm drawing Shenhe this month, I think I'll save that opportunity for another time.


The third and final surprise was Akeno. She's also from an old Anime series from 2012 [Now that I look at it, Kuroinu, where Olga is from, originally aired in 2012 too!] I did not expect Akeno to get so many votes too. This month's poll was just three-way surprises

Okay, I think that's enough of my own commentary regarding the outcome of the Poll. I actually would like to hear from you guys who voted Olga!

What made you vote for Olga? Did you know who she was and which series she was from prior to voting? Or did you just see a dark skin elf and voted for her? I'm quite curious to hear everyone's comments! 

A reminder that the Gumroad rewards are due to be sent out on the 5th!

===============================================

1. I've signed up as Premium/Luxury this month. Can I get the Gumroad Reward for this month?


No, my gumroad rewards are sent to Patrons who have supported me two months. So you'll begin to get one starting the following month if you continue your pledge on the same tier.  



2. I am a Patron, why have I not gotten a Gumroad Reward?


Usually, they're sent out via group DM to active Patrons from Premium Supporters and up. NSFW Connoisseurs do not get a reward as stated in the pledge tier.  



3. Can I request an older reward instead?


Unfortunately, I only give out the current rewards in the following month. For older rewards, it would be better for you to support me through Gumroad instead of Patreon.  



4. When are the Gumroad rewards sent out?


I try to send them out on the 5th of every month. Reasons for this are because I found that uploading them on the 1st of the month tends to screw up some of my patrons as their payment doesn't appear to go through until a few days later. So I've decided to delay the rewards until the 5th so everyone's pledges are counted for and they won't miss out on the DMs.
