I'm so happy to have had the chance to get to meet so many new furs with this contest- THANK YOU!!! Although I've had to close up early due to demand, you can see the queue list of those to be completed here.

I've been drawing for years on any number of art sites but never have had a reception like these past few days. Seeing so many people show up and express a desire to have my work empowered me and is the reassurance I need to keep on doing my thing. I wanted to make sure I'm ready for the next step I want to take, and made a point to start and complete each of these pictures on the same day from a blank canvas. This helped me understand more about the process I can use to implement certain ideas, as well as give me perspective on how much time it takes me to bring something to a reasonable stage. They're rough in any number of ways, but I think that's part of their charm! Know that if you give me more than an afternoon to chew on an idea I can make some really cool things happen XD.

To everyone who took part, thank you so much. I think my experience in the online art community is the norm, and many artists devote hundreds/thousands of hours to work and self-discovery that never really gets acknowledged.

If you're reading this, go to the front page and try to watch at least one new artist and give their gallery a peek
it's so hard to get traction these days and everyone deserves to experience the same joy I received from all of you<3
