Welcome To FiguWhump July!

Welcome to FiguWhump July!

What is FiguWhump?

A challenge for artists (or creators of any kind!) to draw daily inspiration from 31 different whumpy images over the course of July 2023.

Who can participate? Do I need to sign up?

Anyone can participate as long as you include the referenced image and tag us for a reblog! No sign up needed—this is a very lowkey event meant to help improve figure drawing while adding to the wonderful whump community’s archive of art.

Where can I find the images for July?

Daily images will be posted at 12:01am MST on this blog or can be found on this Google doc. Bonus alternative images (if any image doesn’t seem to be working well) can be found under the tag #bonus image. Reference images will be under the tag #reference image.

Do I have to do every day?

Nope! Go with what you feel. If only one drawing is enough for you, then just do the one. Art is about challenging yourself, yes, but it’s also about expressing yourself and knowing your limits! We’ll love any and all submissions.

Does it have to be visual art?

Hey man, whatever floats your boat. This is meant to be a visual challenge but far be it from us to stop you if you’ve seen an image and become inspired in another medium. Written entries are welcome!

How do I submit my completed work?

Just tag us or send it via DM and we will reblog it as soon as we see it.

Where can I find completed works?

Under the tag #completed.

Who is hosting this?

This is the brain child of the glorious @demondamage and @burntcoffeewhump—just two artists on a mission to hurt some OCs, get better at drawing and share some whump!

Will you continue posting after July?

That’s TBD…

I have another question that wasn’t answered here?

Feel free to hit up our ask box or DMs! (Preferably ask box, because if you have a question chances are someone else does too.) Also feel free to peruse the tag #ask to see if your question has been answered.

I hope that when the day comes that Palestine is free, people don't expect everything to suddenly be alright overnight, because that won't be the end of it. There's this thing called intergenerational trauma that as an Indigenous person on Turtle Island, let me say, can fuck a People up for a long time. It will take generations to recover from such catastrophic and longstanding colonial violence. And when current leftist allies start back-peddling on their support and villainizing Palestinians if they aren't "perfect citizens" (a measurement that is highly westernized anyway), remember that trauma, especially on such a large scale, does things to people. What I'm saying is, the support shouldn't end there.

I had the idea of having my characters introduce each other. please ignore the actual cringe

Here, my main guy that I CANT STOP DRAWING THIS BORING WHITE MAN HAS HELD ME HOSTAGE SINCE 2019 🦠🦠🦠💥🦠🦠💥💥💥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️ But here he is being introduced. Next, he'll introduce his current introducer ((good lord)) after I get done with the cringe bad masquerade costume for him for The Halloween

How to erase memory so I can rewatch Daredevil all over again and know nothing

Do you have any storylines brewing for the server?

Not anything quite yet. Especially for the java world since that is a lot newer.

I have been thinking for a while of stuff for the bedrock one, but I keep scrapping. However, today, I would like to think of a general idea possibly for both 🦠
