Art Commissions Week 1 - Submit Ideas Here!

Hey folks!

As part of the launch rewards for book 1, I'm getting 3 art commissions done based on YOUR ideas.

Royal Road's ideas:

Royal Road has gone through two rounds (poll is still open for week 2, but unless some comeback happens the winner is probably the one in the lead). They've also begun submitting ideas for week three, so we've got a good idea of what all is going to be showing up from their end.

Week 1 (confirmed) - Fortune's Folly members (including Shog & Grotto) inside the Closetland Obelisk room. Art style: cel-shading. --Submitted by frncs

Week 2 (in the lead by 7%) - Arlo seated at a desk, holding c'thon Grotto as a bond villain holds a cat. Surrounded by the rest of Fortune's Folly, dapperly-dressed, as if receiving the viewer. --submitted by Narvendel

Week 3 (submissions still open) - Week 3 guarantees a hot springs option on the poll, so I'd be willing to put money on a hot springs related scene as the winner.

How it worked on Royal Road

I took comments once/week. From those I picked 3 ideas and created a poll. They voted in the poll and a winner was selected. I've now begun the process of identifying and reaching out to appropriate artists.

How it will work here on Patreon

For the first week, let's replicate the RR method:

Drop ideas as a comment to this post by Sunday, March 30 at 11 PM EDT (GMT -4). From those I'll grab three and make a poll at the beginning of next week. Voting will be open for a few days at least, and we can consider if the approach needs to be swapped up for the next week.

If you have ideas or feedback for how you think this could be done better or made more interesting, also feel free to add a comment about that here.

I'll include hi-res images and try to grab reproduction/commercial rights for finished products so you guys can download and share and make shirts or do whatever you like with it. Maybe I'll get some posters made or something, who knows?

RULES:

1) It must be Mage Tank related (does this need to be said? Probably not, but I'm a gal-dang LitRPG author and I like clarity in my rules.)

2) Sexy is fine, but nothing totally NSFW (no nudity or graphic sexuality.)

3) Submissions will close on SUNDAY, MARCH 30th at 11 PM EDT (GMT-4).

4) ONE IDEA PER COMMENT (please). Feel free to leave multiple comments though.

5) Those who make it into the poll will be credited (unless you don't want that, in which case please include that in your comment). You'll also get credited again if your idea is picked.

6) If your idea wins the poll, you'll be taken out of the running for future polls. I want to give as much opportunity as I can to everyone.

Your idea can also include your preferred art style (ex: line illustration, anime, H.R. Giger-style horror show), or any other details you find relevant. The medium will probably be digital, since getting something like an oil painting done is very costly.

Some styles may also be difficult to find an artist for, or may involve things totally out of budget, so keep that in mind. This is also a factor with really complicated ideas (like 'an ultra-widescreen ensemble of every character that has ever appeared' would likely not make the poll, because that's like 10 commissions worth of work.)

TL;DR: Drop ideas as a comment to this post by Sunday, March 30 at 11 PM EDT (GMT -4). From those I'll grab three and make a poll at the beginning of next week where you all vote on the winner. No pron please. One idea per comment, but you can comment multiple times.

Excited to see your ideas
