~ 500+ Watchers ~

So yeah, I’ve reached a fairly important milestone on my account: my first 500 watchers! Well, at this point, it’s a bit more than 500, and this is because I actually didn’t expect to reach 500 watchers after posting my Bowser Day pic ^^;
It was quite a pleasant surprise though, still! Thank you all so much, it makes me happy knowing so many people like what I do here on Furaffinity nwn
From the bottom of my heart (and my belly, I suppose ;p), I have to say, you are all amazing :D

Now, aside from reaching 500+ watchers, you may have noticed that ChowderYoshi is not in this picture. Why is that? Well, I’ve decided to make a change around here: While I’m not leaving this account to make another one, I am essentially changing my “branding.” Basically, ChowderYoshi will no longer be my main fursona for FA. He’ll still be around, but from now on, I’ll be my actual main character/sona, Sonic. I want to get into it more here, but I’ll have another upload sometime after this one that’ll explain my reasons and etc. for this change. Once uploaded, I’ll include a link here (even though it’ll be right next to this piece in the bar above): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32722343/

Otherwise, though, I wanted to do something fun and free for my watchers to celebrate the big 500 before I get into doing more commissions. Read on below so you can join in on the fun, heheh ^^/


~ Group Image Raffle ~

Yes, you read the title right: to celebrate 500 watchers, I’ll be having a raffle for some of you guys n’ gals to be included in a group image!
Obviously, entering into this raffle will be free, but there will be some requirements in place that people will need to follow in order for me to count their raffle entry.
To put in a raffle entry, please just comment below (I will not count notes!), while also following the Requirements.

The Requirements are as follows, and they need to be included in your comment:
0) You must be watching me here on FA! Non-watchers cannot get an entry, sorry ^^;
1) Please say “I would like to enter the Raffle!”
2) Include the name of your sona, and please include any necessary refs for them you have (NOTE: If you do not have a character of your own, or refs for your character, you will not be able to enter the raffle. Sorry! >w<)
3) Next, tell me what your favorite piece of art is in my gallery here on FA. I’m including this mainly because I’m curious what pieces you all liked the most <:3
4) Optional: Include any other messages you want me to see after all that ^^

If you’ve done the Requirements correctly, then I’ll reply to your comment telling you you’ve got an entry. If you haven’t done the Requirements correctly, though, I’ll reply asking for you to reply to me with an updated comment.

Now, when will I randomly select the winners, and how many will there be? As of right now, I will randomly select the winners once I finish the two commissions I have going (so it’ll probably be between one to two weeks from now?), and the amount of winners will depend on my time, mood, and etc. Currently, in the pic, I’m planning on including myself, two specific special people that are important to me in different ways, and most likely 2-3 raffle winners.

Once the raffle is done, when can you all expect to see the group image? Well, um… no idea! I don’t think I’ll be able to predict the future in that sense, haha ^^;
In all honesty, while I can’t wait to do the image, it will most definitely take a lot of work for me to be satisfied with whatever it may be. Most likely, it’ll be a secondary project I work on on the side while I do commissions and etc. However, I will make sure I eventually get it done, for all of you!

Now, that should be it. Again, thank you all so much for getting me to this point, and I hope to continue improving myself while improving myself for the better ^^
Thank you all for your support, and good luck with the raffle!
