Is there any rhyme or reason to who you pick? I see a few names on there who have been picked before, including people I was certain were the same person, so it makes me wonder how people who have never commissioned you manage to get picked?

Just to be a bit clear here. I picked 30.
But there’s no way I can possibly satisfy a good chunk of the number of submissions received.

To be honest, I’m not sure what I can say to help improve your own odds.
So I doubt my ramble below will be helpful.

I went more for comfort picks this month because I have more work to get back to once I finish sketches for this week. (ideas, body types or characters I’m somewhat used to. Some commissioners did give me the options/idea to change things up if I want to.)

Since I’m flimsy as hell with what I want to draw somewhat often. one minute I want just draw a ton of big asses and the next second I just want to draw tons of smooches. Also having to do a batch of 25+ sketches back to back within a few days. It makes me jump around a bit with what i’m doing/vary things up even if it’s just by a very small margin.

Sometimes I want to draw short-stacks, BIG OL dicks (SOMETIMES BOTH), something cute, kickass or get surprised by a possible fun idea someone had. So for sketches, I grab X amount of short-stacked characters then move onto the next X amount of Cute things and so on. (This can be a bit difficult considering how big the pool of submissions are, especially this month.)

Got a few newcomers, some with OCs that are fresh or just haven’t been drawn much before. Either the design or the way the person describe them sounds nice to me. Kinda makes me want to take a swing at them for fun.

Idk, things like that. (My best solution would be to just start theme’ing sketches monthly and putting certain commissioners on a cooldown. But I honestly don’t feel like keeping up with all that right now and I just want to draw.)

On a rather serious note. I’ll keep my mouth shut a bit until I figured out more of what I want to do. But I want and need to rethink sketches a bit for November and so on.
