AND THE CONTEST WINNER IS......

@astronic-fr !!! so shaped......

I wanted to get this out earlier, but this was a very, VERY hard decison. I had to think about it for a while (also I got distracted by college stuff lol) There was something I really enjoyed about every design!! You should all be proud of yourselves!!! Everything was very close when it came to deciding

Thank you all for joining!!! :3c

I did sketch all the jets (hopefully) because I felt like I couldn't fairly judge them until I knew how they looked in my style. That ended up making the decison harder lmaooo but it did help I put them below the cut so this post doesn't show up so long lmao

Find my Jets

Im erm not going to tag everyone for this because thats too much T_T same sprite but theyre all so distinct from each other,..... so cool

you might see a mystery round cat in this but thats just her malewife lmaoo (I drew him from memory so its not accurate at all)

There will be more opportunities in the future for a design contest/cameos (a LOT of cameos eek!!) so dont worry if your design wasnt picked!!!

The host of the CBS Radio quiz show "Strike It Rich" program, Todd Russell (standing on church steps, wearing scarf), looks on as contest winner Joseph Snyder hands out dollar bills to men on a breadline in front of the Franciscan monastery, January 19, 1948. Snyder, a winner of $230 (the equivalent of more than $3,000 today), had been on the line in the past.

The one won a spot in the Delta-V lobby art contest for 2025! You might see it when ever you play SS14 over there. I really liked drawing everyone's characters. It's simple, but that's what makes it nice.

FINALLY Finished @zenomorph-racoom ‘s prize for the Dressatello DTIYs art challenge.

I promised a DTIY and a free commission of their choice, and I’m still waiting for that request.

I haven’t forgotten things, I just have no time. I want to do is make more Rise art, promote, make comics, answer some asks, and make contests, but Uni is kicking my butt!

So hold down the fort Y’all! Keep spreading the Rise Love. What we need now, more then ever is visibility!

So a year ago I submitted a fan entry to a doll design contest, a 2D drawing over the nude template they provide, and um THEY MADE THE DOLL, Y'ALL! As an avid doll collector this is like the dream, right? To design a doll and then have it be made real. I had no idea they were making it until a couple days ago. They're supposed to send me the doll as a prize which is awesome because Fashion Friends aren't cheap, not even the Siblies, and I'm not making that collector doll money like I used to, though I'd still be willing to buy her since it's my character. They aren't sure about the name pronunciation because I was late replying to their message on IG where they had asked me, but there is an IG video of the doll where my username and the doll's name are both correct. I might have too many aliases...

So yay! Not really art related but it kind of is because I drew the initial design which is shown early in the video. Maybe I should add doll designer to my resume (joking). There's something about seeing a drawing come to life, whether it's through animation or as a real physical object.

🌿Finally time to choose the winners for my FTIYS Contest!🌿

I wanna mention first, that hosting contests is one of the most bittersweet things to me. I know in the end, out of a group of artists, I will have to choose one or two winners, even though I love them all.

I know what it feels like to lose contests, it's a terrible, gutting feeling. I want these artists to know that even though you did not get first or second place, it does NOT mean you or your art is bad, or has no value.

The way I see it, these artists CHOSE to participate in my contest, sitting down and putting hours of effort for a chance to win a prize. Not only that, but they are possibly stepping out of their comfort zone, or trying new things with this contest.

That is so honorable as someone who holds their OCs to their heart. So thank you to all who participate in my contest.
