Hey folks.So as I explained in my breakdown this past few months, I'm currently unable to resume doing entire image set raffles as I did before.
Both my mental and physical health are not great right now, and I'm still struggling.
I'm not sure when or even if I'll be able to do entire image sets of people's original characters, but I do want to do art using your OCs again.
So, I'm starting a new system that will be reasonable for me to do for now.A new raffle system for a single image of your OC.In short, just a single image of your OC instead of a full, entire set. Something that I can easily do in a day or so.Here is a small QA:- How will the new raffle work?The raffle will use a similar point system as the previous raffles. (Points are assigned by Discord roles, which will track your membership status...).
Raffles should happen once a month going forward, as doing a single image is much more manageable for me.- How do I participate in the raffle?Like before, you have to be on my Discord (getting access by linking your Discord account to your Patreon account). Then you have to "submit" your OC in the proper channel. Once you do that, you will begin to collect the points once a month.- How do you collect coins now?This has changed. Before I would manually check everyone's status, which has become too difficult to do, because there are a lot more members now.So, I'm using a Discord bot that allows me to set up a "currency" on the server called "Gomu coins." The bot is set up to allow you to "collect" a certain amount of coins once a month. The amount of coins is dependent on the traditional point system (you can get coins based on your discord roles). Here's how it works: Once you have submitted your OC in the appropriate channel in the Discord server, you will be given a special Discord role: "OC owner". This Discord role will allow you to access a special channel on the server called "Gomu Coin Bank". In this channel, you will be able to use a special command: !collect-income. This will allow you to "collect" and "store" your points you've earned for that month. So as a reminder:- Kinky Enthusiast subscribers: Get 1 point every month.- Curious Fetishist subscribers: Get 2 points every month.- Bondage fan subscribers: Get 5 points every month.- Rubber devotee subscribers: Get 10 points every month.- Server moderators: Get 3 points every month.- Server boosters: Get 3 points every month.Note: The OC owner role alone will not attribute any points. Only the Patreon subscription roles, the mod roles, and the server booster roles will provide points as they did in the previous system.- Are Gomu coins reset when I win?Yes, they are essentially points of the old system. They work the same way.- I have points from the previous raffles. Are they taken into account in this new raffle?Yes, I'm applying your "stored points" of the previous raffle system to this new one. - Will you ever go back to the old full image sets of OCs and will I lose my points of that raffle if use them in this new one?I cannot say whether or not I'll be able to return to doing full image sets of people's OC again. I hope so, but in my current state, I simply can't tell. However, IF.. that were to happen, the points of the old raffle will be restored as they were when I stopped doing it. In short, you don't need to be afraid to use your Gomu coins for the new single image raffles. They work the same ways as the point system, but they will be their own thing.- Will you do raffles that mix both female and femboy OCs or separate the raffles per category?For now, I'm going to start with one raffle for both femboy and female OC owners together. Later, I'm considering doing maybe two images per month (one Femboy OC image and one female OC image). That's my long-term plan for this new ONE image thing, but because I'm still experimenting here, I'm starting simple with just one raffle and one image per month to see how things go first.That's about it for now.Please keep in mind that this is in its experimental phase. And changes may happen as I get a good feel on it.
