Thanks to everyone who voted! We had "up to" 99 patrons vote, which is 30 less than last month, unfortunately. Voter turnout dropped to 30-37% this month, down from 33-38% this month, and 42-45% the previous month (depending on the poll, as not everyone voted in all 4 polls).
Next month, make sure your voice is heard and vote — even if you think your choices a...

Another 2 frames completed, and a third about 80% done over the last few days. These last few frames have been incredibly detailed, with up to 12 characters in each frame, all wearing various types of clothing, overlapping within view, interacting, and some special effects added as well. Very labor-intensive.

Another 2 frames completed. As usual, the script in a constant state of flux, as I refine this climactic issue, trying the get the best results.
We are about the 31% completed mark.

This month's concept comes from Dan-0, who entered this idea into the July 2023 Color Commission and came in 2nd Place (40 vs 30 votes).
Direction from the patron included: choosing (with my suggestion) the size of "beach ball" and "yoga ball" sizes; adding the animal-print bikinis.

Another 2 frames completed today. Each took a while with all the details (same as the previous ones — many characters, many pieces of clothing, effects, overlapping, etc, etc).
We are now about 25% completed. As mentioned, the final frame count is in flux, as I refine the script. In fact, frame 16 was added just yesterday.
2023-09-08 22:41:40 +0000 UTC View Post
Another 3 frames in the past couple of days. I wish I had done more, but each frame is like 2-3 normal frames with the amount of characters, posing, clothing, and overlapping.
The final frame count keeps shifting from more to less to more. So, if you are reverse calculating the final frame count based on the percentage completed, know this is in flux until the end of the issue.
Right now, we stand at 22% completed.

Looks like Patreon suddenly dropped a new UI change on us this month. Gone are the 5 quick tag links at the top of the feed and Tag drop down menu. You can find something similar in the new "Collections" tab.
All the tags are there, and if you click on one, it will display all posts with that tag. In addition, I will be adding "Collections" of tag(s) similar to the original 5 boxes. I have to do these manually, so I will add them a little at ...

I was able to complete 3 more frames in the last couple of days. They took quite a bit of time, as they each have multiple characters — up to 10!
We are now at the 17% completion mark for the issue.

You CAN enter into this Contest even if you entered into one of the others.
Here is a review of all the rewards given out for the month.
This can also serve as a guide for current patrons, so you can check to make sure you haven't missed anything. It's also a preview for non-Patrons.
2 more frames completed, and a third well on its way. One of the frames completed took quite a while, or I would have finished all three. The frame in question had 8 characters and 3 cropped characters (make the back of a head, or arm and hip). That was a lot of work.

Another 2 frames completed today. I thought I would have gotten a third done, but one of these frames completed had lots of people (so It took a lot longer) and then I had to take a break due to a headache (that passed 2 hours later).

I was able to complete the first 4 frames (and made great progress on frame 5) over the last 2 days. This is the final chapter of "grOwing to a Crescendo."
