Day 2: New OC

[micajestr]

Prompt 5: Redesign

honestly redesigning lolo- sorry, teddy was a struggle because id drawn him (and most importantly, his hair) that way for like forever! only ever making slight tweaks to his appearance, so like, one day, i just, listed all of teddy's most prominents traits, and designed him with them like he was a new character, and presto!

fun exercise even if ur not redesigning the oc lol

Day xx - Collab

Did swicharound meme with @good-beansdraws @kyanako5972 and @yaraneechan . It was really fun to do. Very interesting experience of trying to understand the other's layers and how they do the process of art creating, and then complement it by your own in a way that does not overshadow previous. Thank you guys.💜

My parts: Fuuta sketch for Beans, my OC Mina and my Sona(line), kyanako's OC(coloring), Yaraneechan's OC(render)

one of my other three love letters to the internet along with burningstone and one other, i made her october 4th, 2012, then made her properly real after a disneyland trip on october 10th. so she's going to be turning 12 years old tomorrow, but i celebrate her birthday on the 10th!!!!

she's a core part of my early internet experience and. also my life. she's really important to me. early fursona too but that didn't stick. the ultimate sparklecat. she's everything

i love you clover!!!!!! <33

May i ask what makes the mandatory prompts mandatory?

the 10 mandatory days are a support structure to help everyone make it to the finish line!

i'm not sure how well it comes across, but my intention is much less "you have to do 10 WHOLE DAYS" and much more "you are allowed to skip 21 WHOLE DAYS"

i want as many ppl as possible to make it to the end of the month feeling accomplished instead of burned-out, and in the half-a-decade ive been running events on tumblr (longer if you count the events i've only run irl or in groupchats before that) this is the best structure i've found to help ppl achieve that!

too many mandatory days— too much pressure i missed a few days already... i gotta rush and catch up on them, or im gonna fail! but now im exhausted and grumpy and i wanna quit (this has happened to me)

not enough/no mandatory days— not enough structure i missed a few days already... but i can miss another one... and another one... and another one... and another one... and another... oops the month is over! (this has also happened to me)

10 mandatory days (about ⅓ of the month)— just right! i missed a day... but it was optional anyway so i can skip it! now i have a few days to take it easy and prep for the next mandatory day!

i also make sure to space the days out fairly evenly, so everyone participating the minimum amount still gets to try all the different themed weeks too!

some of the weeks are always more popular tho, so they get more mandatory days — fun and games week is easy and everyone seems to like it... so it gets 3!

and specific times of the month are where i notice a lotta ppl starting to get tired/quit events so i put less mandatory days there — week 4 is a common drop-off point so it only has 1!
