Hello! Just wanted to say I love the art you did for the Portal Holiday Spirit Initiative card this year! 😍 It's hanging by our front door, and it makes me happy every time I see it. 💙
Late reply, but im so glad you love it 💜 it had so much fun making it!
Why did I think your OC Dave was Dave Strider 😭😭 this is like the opposite of that "who tf is Dave" post
About halfway through making it, i realized the fatal flaw in naming my character who wears sunglasses all the time "Dave S." Tragically his name is integral to the final pun and I didnt feel like coming up with another one, so Dave he remained.
I hope people are able to enjoy the comic despite the reminders of Homestuck 😔
The end of the year can be tough for a lot of people. Let's make it a little bit brighter by bringing back...
The Portal Holiday Spirit Initiative!
To help bring a smile to people’s faces this year, I am sending FREE Portal-Themed Holiday Cards to anyone who requests one!
This year’s cards follow the same format as last year: a postcard delivered in an envelope, featuring artwork from the lovely @bee-rosmyth-art ! Once you receive it, the postcard can be customized to suit any Winter Holiday you celebrate thanks to the form provided by Aperture Laboratories!
This year marks PHSI’s 7th year, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has participated over the years, whether you’ve reblogged and shared, requested cards, provided artwork, or helped in other ways. You all are so amazing! Thanks for volunteering your time, talents, and support to help make PHSI a special fandom tradition! I don't know how many more years I'll be able to do this, but here's to at least one more!
If you would like to receive a FREE Portal-Themed Holiday Card:
Visit bit.ly/PHSI-2025 …
Answer the questions in the forms…
Wait for your card to be sent!
It’s that easy! Card Requests are now open, and close on December 21st in order to give me enough time send all the cards before the end of the year. Please submit sooner rather than later so you can receive your card as fast as possible!
Also, please don’t be afraid to request a physical card if you don’t live in the US! The card service I use ships worldwide and, while it might take a bit longer for you to receive your card depending on what country you live in, the cards will get mailed to whatever address you provide, domestic or foreign. Last year I sent a total of 94 cards to Argentina, The United States, Australia, The United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland, Canada, New Zealand, Chile, Montenegro, Czech Republic, Ireland, and Germany!
I hope PHSI brings a smile to others in the Fandom this year, just as it has in years past! Designing and sending Holiday Cards takes time and effort, and sending physical cards is getting more expensive every year. While it isn’t a requirement to receive a card, I would greatly appreciate if you’d like to give $5 to cover the cost of your card or someone else’s. Please visit ko-fi.com/247testing and click the Donate button if you want to help out. Thanks!
Answers for common questions and concerns below:
Worried about providing a mailing address, for whatever reason?
PHSI has an eCard option! All you need to provide is a name for me to call you by and an email address to receive your card!
Worried about requesting a card because you don’t live in the US?
PHSI mails to any address provided, whether domestic or foreign! However, please wait patiently for your card, due to the current global rate of shipping.
Worried that you can’t give $5 to cover the cost of your card or someone else’s?
Requesting a card from PHSI has been and will always be FREE! However, giving $5 to the initiative helps me pay for the printing service and postage to mail physical cards. I gratefully appreciate any contributions received, even if it’s just a comment saying thanks!
Worried because you don’t know how to support the artist of the card you received?
The artist’s social media is listed on the back of every card featuring their artwork. Look them up, commission them, reblog their art, and support them however you can!
Worried because you haven’t received your card yet?
Double check your email inbox and junk folders. I send everyone an email that either confirms your Holiday Card has shipped or includes your eCard! Physical cards usually take 1-2 weeks to arrive. If your physical card fails to show up after the first week of January, please reach out to me and I’ll send you a replacement eCard!
Worried because you received your card and don’t know what to do now?
Make a post about it! Include pictures, videos, or anything you’d like, and tag me in the post ( @24-7-testing ) so I can reblog it! If you don’t want to show your card off, that’s ok too!
I saw this trend of "photobashing to bring your character to life" and decided to give it a shot! I used my own face as the base bc I felt weird about editing the features of a stranger. Ultimately I love how it came out and I think she looks super cute 💜
I definitely want to post more speed paints (especially ones that aren't just me tracing over my face) so look out for that maybe??
BTW, I just want to say, I notice the people who always share my OC art and I'm so grateful for you all 💜 this comic is a big project but I'm so excited for it, even though it will probably be a while before I can share it. The outline has it at 11 chapters long, and right now I'm putting the finishing touches on the script for the first chapter. I'm trying not to share too much because I don't want to spoil everything, which means a lot of my sketches for it don't get posted.
That being said, I'll try to get the general premise and details on the core group up soon-ish :)
