2021 Pinup Theme Poll (Patreon)

Hey all, I've been a disaster for a while re: mental health, but i'm steadily getting things drawn from my commission queue and I'm hellbent on crawling out of the abyss & bringing more art to people who've been supporting me for so long... once again, my gratitude for your support for any duration of the last hell year goes beyond words. I have a few fiery passions for art things to salvage out of past ideas and to make a ritual out of this year, but I can't decide which to start on.

I know I want to do monthly pinups throughout 2021. I had kind of a false start with a Toriel pinup sketch last year, and just... struggled to get invested enough to finish it, but I still wanna do this and other pinups in a painterly Gil Elvgren style. 

My first thought was, year of the ox, I should do monthly pinups of my first OC, Dolores the cow. They'd be mostly boob themed, and maybe have her fluctuate in size a bit, most likely gradually getting bigger each month - and in the end, I want to have a bunch of individual prints to list in an online store & send freebies to patrons, and to also compile them into a calendar and look for an affordable way to get them printed & sold in said store, with a discount code for patrons. Also, I'd probably put up a poll each month to settle on a theme if I've got multiple ideas in mind.

And the other monthly pinup approach - I've got more than a dozen other femme OC's i'd love to do pinups of, and could do a monthly poll for which character to do next, picking from these OCs with some ideas for themed objects scattered around them:

• Amber the woodchuck - surrounded by cider & beer bottles
• Dorothy the bat - coffeeshop / waitress stuff
• Fran the rat - junk food
• Olivia the lioness - gym equipment
• Rahab the cat - magic paraphernalia
• Shay the squirrel - takeout pizza
• Sylvia the deer - books
• (Also Dolores would be in there, probably dairy stuff)
• And a few others I don't have art posted anywhere yet, but I'll share sketches of soon / when one of their seasonally relevant ideas comes up

So yeah, basically it's YEAR OF DOLORES versus YEAR OF OCs IN GENERAL.

If I have enough energy in a given month, I'd like to do BOTH a dolores print + another oc print, so I can make up for missed months in 2020 & have extra prints to people who were waiting on merch from me - but I'd like to hear which one patrons are more interested in, so i can prioritize that set each month!

Once I've gotten the first one of these pinups done, I'll have something fresh to send to patrons who I've owed mailed benefits to, and I'll brush up on mailing options.
