*IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING TENE'S TITULAR THICK-TUSH TOSS-UP / MONTHLY ART GIVEAWAY*

Hey all. I'll try to keep this as concise and transparent as I possibly can, but I have an important announcement regarding my monthly art giveaways.
Unfortunately, I will not be holding any more monthly Giveaways/Lotteries for artwork here through my Subscribestar page going forward. This isn't because I don't wish to do them any longer, in fact I very much enjoyed the idea and thought it was a decent reward or incentive for being pledged to me here. The real reason is because admittedly, I didn't do enough research regarding actual rules and regulations for hosting online raffles/giveaways, and doing so without getting into legal trouble.
I looked into it a bit more, and to my understanding, it's considered illegal in the US to hold any sort of lottery/giveaway for prizes that contestants must pay in order to enter. I could in theory still do lotteries or giveaways for artwork as a prize, but they would need to be completely free to enter for anyone to join, not just for my paying subscribers. If there is a payment upfront to enter, then the winner(s) cannot be decided through random chance. Otherwise it's considered gambling, and uh, yeah I don't want to get in trouble or take that risk, even if I'm just some small nobody diaper artist... ;>>
Perhaps I'm still very ignorant on the manner, and it may only really refer to like, big companies or corporations from conducting unregulated or illegal gambling, but I cannot take that chance. Subscribestar themselves doesn't have anything regarding it on their site or FAQs, so I assumed I was safe to do so. However, everywhere else I looked mostly mentioned alternative sites like Patreon not allowing it for the reasons stated earlier. Perhaps what I'll do (honestly what I should have done from the start) is contact Subscribestar staff to get a clear answer for all this.
I am very, very, very sorry for all this and the disappointment this causes. I'll be sure to try and do more thorough research/investigation for these kinds of things going forward so it hopefully doesn't happen again.
In the meantime, I don't want to leave you guys with just one drawing for this month's suggestion poll. So to make up for this, I will draw/color the top 2 winners for this months suggestion poll, and also will sketch the runner ups as well. I hope that's alright with you all for now. By next month, I'll hopefully come up with something to replace the raffle/giveaway as a reward for all of you sticking around. By all means, please leave any suggestions if you have any I can consider.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to read all this and supporting me. I don't deserve half the love you guys give me, but it's super greatly appreciated always. ;>< <3
