Picture of the month discussion! (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I wanted to make a separate post to discuss the Picture of the Month reward (for the $1 tier, which also includes the voting for it.)

I've been lapsing on it because I'm having some difficulty with this, and I wanted to bring it up to discussion.

Problem #1: Obsolete

The picture of the month reward was designed before I started doing a considerably higher number of sketches on the $1 tier - now, a lot more people are getting their ideas drawn!

Furthermore, the $1 tier now has full color content (SMQ pictures, both rewards from the series and unlockables with Moonstone.)

Lastly, the voting element has been more or less absorbed into how everyone votes on which pictures I finish using the likes/comment system.

Problem #2: Overwhelmed

The POM reward was done before I took on two additional projects: Fragile (Alex Minicomic), and Super Monster Quest. Likewise, POMs were done when I did 2 pages of ICFOS a month - which have since upgraded to 3 pages. Both of which are considerably time consuming.

Proposal: An alternative approach?

I've been considering the premise of having a review on the POM idea, where instead of making a new, full color idea from scratch, I take full color $12-tier pictures from the last (or perhaps current?) month, and have everyone vote on one they'd like to make the 'picture of the month', which would then be dropped down to the $1 tier for everyone to access?

I'm open to all comments, ideas or suggestions on this regard! Should I just keep doing POMs as before, or could we reinvent the system? Can we replace it with something else? Your suggestions and input are very welcome!
