So, the lack of a poll on here for the past few months is gonna need an explanation. I've decided that in order to motivate myself to continue work for my Patreon, and as such I decided to try a pretty ambitious project this year: my own take on the Color Wheel Character Challenge that made the rounds online a while back! Over the course of eight months, I'd ask on DeviantArt which character for each of the eight different colors for the challenge would be picked and take my favorite suggestion from the various requests provided, albeit out of personal preference rather than through popular vote. This reward is for the red section of the color wheel, which will be one of four sections with a male ticklee; as with the regular monthly rewards, I'd be alternating between male and female characters for the sake of gender equality in this challenge.The character choice I went with for the red slot was Karma Akabane from Assassination Classroom, a series I've done some reading on and enjoyed but still need to finish (though the same can be said for almost every single manga/anime I've consumed lol). Karma is definitely equal parts handsome and adorable though and while I'd have loved to break myself into this series with Nagisa, Karma works just as well, too, and from what I've heard he does seem like a popular victim in the male tickling community. Of course, there was no better choice to wreck him than Koro-Sensei! I had to composite this image together somewhat because my plan is for each reward to have the ticklee in a separate set of layers so I can composite them into the color wheel itself, which would make the composition a little tougher and the layers more numerous. I think it'd be worth the investment though and I definitely like how this piece turned out when I put it together. I'll try and get the finalized version done when I can, though my IRL commitments may not guarantee it being finished in a timely manner. This is probably gonna be a running gag with most if not all the rewards catering to this challenge, alas, unless of course I manage to resolve the Serious Business I've got going on! That's a discussion solely for and between me and those close to me, though...The final version of this post will be (tentatively) available on Tuesday, April 9!
