Update

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, I was a bit overwhelmed with school and homework ;o;

However, I’m pleased to announce you that applications will open on January 27th and close on February 19th!!

Don’t forget to reblog this post and follow the blog if you’re interested!

I JUST NOW REALIZED that ko-fi donations are marked as business transactions in my paypal account, and that each of them comes with the person’s address and a little “ready to add shipping info” tag on them so i’m going through every time someone has kindly given me a couple dollars in the past. year? and marking them all as “order processed” so I don’t get in HUGE trouble for not putting shipping information on these “orders” WHY… ARE THEY PROCESSED THAT WAY… why aren’t they processed as DONATIONS?

Calling all artists!

If your commissions are open and you do draw OC’s, please reblog this post! 

If you are not an artist but know of one, please reblog this and tag them or just mention their url in the tags! 

And hey, even just reblogging helps! I will be keeping a comprehensive list of artists who can be commissioned to draw characters/OC’s on the blog!

listen binch. no one has an original style. no one pulls a unique style of art out of their ass. we get to where we are through observing others and being influenced by them and that’s how art works

FANbruary 2018, the first FANbruary, will be here shortly!

In the meantime, here’s a little extra info to beef up on and maybe spread around?  It’s a pretty loosey-goosey format compared to a lot of month-long art challenges, but I wanted it to be as inclusive as possible.  

Since the topics are entirely up to the participant, a prompt list isn’t necessary, but if you want to make your own, here’s a Random Word Generator!
