Hello hello! Anomaly coming back from the ded. First of all I want to thank you for your patience… I know it took a while to post this. My summer got really busy all of a sudden and Instagram has been hiding some of your entries. Anyway let's get started! For these challenges I like to count with my friends to help me choose the winners, because if it was only me………… I'd give prizes to everyone (which it's kinda funny this time). Last time I held a DTIYS challenge, we fought a little to choose the winners, but this time our braincells connected via wi-fi for the first two prizes, not for the last one.

First prize goes to @arizaluca Loved how everyone look in your style, especially my high priestess! She looks amazing in your style and the reflections and effects? Chef kiss!

Second prize goes to @2dyara In your case, THEY ALL LOOK ADORABLE. The perspective look amazing and my high priestess? HER THREATENING AURA?????? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!

Third prize goes to… everyone else! @/dawgcpa_art @emarald15 @gumibuki @/just._an.artist_2 @/moo0renit4_206 @/ultimate_lamb

We couldn't choose only one. Loved how everyone took some extra steps and added their one ideas: Lamb and Goat with their red/purple crying eyes, Narinder with his red eyes… The traditional pieces surprised us as well! Their quality got really close to the digital entries and I particularly love Emarald15's entry! I found really interesting the idea of working on your piece on different two sheets of a sketchbook. I know that drawing reflections can be a bit challenging so how you handled it amazed me! I love to see how ingenious younger artists can be, and that's why I make these challenges a bit… well, challenging, because I know you will come with interesting solutions and results!

Now, I must give a warning… As I said before, I'm a bit busy right now and I might be a bit slow finishing everyone's prizes, so please, be patient!

I recently did a bit of pixel art in making my first custom minecraft skin! I joined a Project Moon Minecraft server and wanted to make a skin that matched! I ended up in District 14 so based the clothes off of enemies from there! Lets hope they dont notice the prosthetic leg!

I love seeing wonky beginner art of people who are clearly exited about creating. Because with every line they draw, they get better. And it makes me wonder what kind of masterpieces they will come up with in the years to come.

Someone picking up painting today will create the legends of tomorrow.

And I love the idea that this person will try to create something for the first time because they saw our art today.

And went: "why not?"

[emarald15]

Just managed to finish this for @cabi-leodrann's DTIYS! Happy birthday to THAB!

I absolutely love your art so when I saw this I knew I had to try this! (I actually used your art as some inspiration when I was designing my lamb!) This scene is also part of my fic with them, The Lamb's first death at the hands of the Bishops, leading them straight into the hands of The One Who Waits!

I ended up shifting the pose a bit, and zoomed it in since its hard to do the detail I wanted. But this ended up teaching me a lot! (Finally figured out the dang box head method)

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

[teaboot]

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

Okay, so yesterday afternoon we had a double earthquake (7.2 and 7.5 with multiple aftershocks) in Venezuela. Fortunately, the place where I live wasn't affected, but Caracas and other states near the epicenter did suffer building collapses, and people are still missing.

You can see some pictures here (Instagram).

Many people lost their homes, and a state of alert was declared today (yesterday we even had the possibility of a tsunami, which thankfully is no longer present). Venezuela doesn't have the resources to recover, and the total losses are still unknown... please pray for us, we need it.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP VENEZUELA BY SHARING THIS INFORMATION:

My best friend helped me gather this information. If you have the time, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share it so it reaches the people who need it:

Gofundme: Emergency relief for Venezuela earthquake victims

(Argentina) Donations are being received here to send to those affected in Venezuela

Veterinary help for affected animals

More resources and information to help those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela (images with information after the cut)

Most of this information is in Spanish, but we appreciate your help by sharing and donating if you have the opportunity.

Some much needed positivity for anyone who makes art!

I’ve always thought of it like this: it doesn’t matter how differently we draw, we are all the same, we’re all artists, and we’re all learning!

They’re quick doodles but made with a lot of love! I’m tired of the negativity and mockery towards newbies, so take this!

After a while here is my entry for @anomaly-art’s DTIYS! Due to my method of drawing atm, drawing the proper reflection isn’t within my scope, nor have the space, so I came up with this idea! Hopefully this still works for the contest, but was fun to try even if not!

It was really tricky with the perspective, but was really fun to work on! I think it really pushed my skill level!

I hope you all enjoy!

[emarald15]

Haven’t been able to work on my fic for a bit sine I’m on a trip at the moment. But I still did a bit of drawing! Here is my drow seer character I’m playing in the first in person D&D game I’ve played in years! I borrowed the name and some character design stuff from Shamura!
