So back in 2019 I came up with the idea of dedicating the month of September to all my OCs. I have a lot of OCs and don't usually have the time or motivation to draw them all. So I had it where each day of September I'd try and draw all my kids. This didn't end well as I gave up on Day 3.

There was lack of motivation. Specifically on the art program I once used. After using ibispaintX, digitally drawing on my phone and not using a vector program, I've grown accustomed to it. I use Inkscape from time to time, get them smooth lines, but the drawing takes longer to complete. Before it would take less than a day to complete anything on Inkscape. Now I just don't have the same energy to draw on Inkscape as I do on my art app.

This idea of drawing all my kids is something I really want to do. Even with no motivation I still want to try and push myself to complete all 31 days of September. Have my characters be remembered.

Month of Remember is drawing all my OCs in September in order to have them be noticed and remembered by others. Myself included.

And so, I'm trying this once again, and hopefully everything goes well.


How Month of Remember will go:

  • All art will be done in line-art and color. No shading or backgrounds. Just some simple vector-like drawings. Appreciate the simplicity.

  • Each character will be drawn at least once during the month - unless there are AUs and such

  • I will include all OCs that I own: old, new, adopts, designs, etc.

  • Characters that were made for others or not cannon in ARPG groups I'm in yet, those will not be included

Hope you all enjoy the kids and their simple drawings.


One last thing before I go, on the 31st of September I will be having adopts sold. These are mainly some OCs I have that I'm willing to let go and would like for someone to give them a home. I love all my characters and wish the best for them. Even if story-wise some have it rough… But I still love them! But yes, the OCs I draw on the 31st of September will all be up as adopts or given away for free. Depends on how things go.


So that's pretty much it. At least the basics. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I hope you like the reappearance of some old kids.

Hey everyone!
I got some news about a group I'm in.

The group WhistlerCrest is having an Anniversary Celebration!
This event will last from Saturday July 13th to Sunday July 21st (11:59 PM EST)
Join the group and help us get to 600+ Members!

This group is AMAZING and it would be AWESOME to have you be a part of it!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You don't have to read what's below, but if you want, then go ahead.


What's so special about this group or this event?
Well, I'll tell you why.

The Group:
I've become a member of WC back in 2017. Months before it had it's Grand Opening. 
From the years I've been in this group there have been no problems. It's just artists having fun designing characters, interacting with others, and just having fun!
The admins of WC are kind caring people who care about your happiness. If you were to have issues, they'll gladly listen and try their best to help you in any way. Seriously they're great, and so is the community! 
WhistlerCrest has a Discord Server.
In the server you can discuss character plot with other artists, show your art progress, give suggestions, voice chat, join the scavenger hunt, or see some juicy sneak peeks for WC!
Seriously though, WC is incredibly great. Not once have I ever stopped thinking about the group. By that I mean I'm always thinking something related to it. I tend to mostly think about Character Designs:

Turning these  into this 
Won a MYO Key from this and I'm SO grateful for it! Thank you Admins!!!

Oh! You can even get your characters pets!


Suiryn and Pieshu aren't the only pets you can get.
You'll have to check out the WhistlerCrest Website to learn more.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Event:
This event will start from Saturday July 13th to Sunday July 21st (11:59 PM EST)
New members joining this event will receive the following:
5 Capella
100 EXP
Wing Ears or Aether Ears
Make an Anni Nyulop or Draken

And if you submit artwork to the group (after your character is approved) you'll get:
Double the amount of EXP
Star Sprinkles
A Pog

Click the Journal if you want more details 
You still don't have to read what's below, but if you want, then alright.



Capella is Money used to buy things in WC. What items? Well, with Capella you are able to buy items from:
Trading Post    Remy's Pet Shop    Oren's Forge


EXP is used to help grow your character. The more EXP you have, the more upgrades you can add! Just make sure to follow the rules on how to apply them. Some upgrades require drawing prompts. 


Wing Ears are for DRAKEN ONLY and Aether Ears are for NYULOPS ONLY
Wing Ears and Aether Ears are RARE upgrades! This means this may be your only time to apply these upgrades to your character before they disappear! Never come back again!

Nyulop: 
 
Anni Palette VS Normal Palette
Draken: 
 
Anni Palette VS Normal Palette

You will be able to make ONE Anni Baby. A Nyulop or a Draken, NOT BOTH.
These Anni babies have a special color palete! Completely different than the original paletes! 
Also, Anni babies can have 2 accent colors!

Submitting art to the group will give you access to Double EXP!

It'll also let you give your character a NEW Upgrade called Star Sprinkles!


Submitting art to the group will also get you a Pog!
What's a Pog? They're these little wooden coins that you can collect.
If you collect a certain amount of Pogs, say like over 10, you will be able to apply some cool upgrades!
More Upgrades for your characters! 


Also...There's the 600+ Milestone...
"If 600 members are reached before 11:59 PM EST on Sunday July 21st, then...
1. A fanart raffle will be held by staff in which we will draw your characters for you! This will be detailed further upon potential release.
2. Three (3) brand new upgrades for both species will be released.
3. Two (2) new creatures will be released."

Friend's dA

I'm now just realizing that I never made a post about this
...
Better late than never!

:iconviolet1204: is one of my irl friends, and she's great!
Calm, creative, and is able to put up with my stupidity. Like seriously, how has she not abandoned me yet? I'm an ass.
Anyway-
She's great and she's new to dA!
If you guys want to check out her artwork, or even message a small friendly hi, it would be great!
She's a bit shy and somewhat awkward to all this, but hopefully soon she'll get comfortable.

This was made by her ^^
Ish so cool!

(update) Times up! Thank you to those who request. I promise to try my best and make these requests worth it ^^


I've been gone for 2 months, and besides that, I feel I've missed too much. So right now until September 8th I'll have requests open.
Also if I owe you something from a long time ago and you'd still want it, let me know and I'll get to it.


Rules:
* The limit for requests is 3. Only 3 vectors or drawings whatsoever.

* I can't draw people, just animals. But if you wanna take the risk, you can request a human drawing (one free human drawing, won't take up any of your 3 slots because I suck at drawing people and don't want to disappoint you and leave you with 2 slots and a horrible human drawing)

* If I owe you a drawing or vector(s), let me know and I'll get to it right away (this doesn't use up any of your 3 request slots)

* No NSFW (keep things PG)

* There is no limit on how many characters or items you want in the pic. Same goes for backgrounds.

* You don't have to use up all 3 slots. You can save them for another time when requests are available again.
Changing this rule in the future; any leftover requests slots can still be used for next year.
(Ex. This year have 2 slots left, next year get 3 new slots plus you're old unused slots from last year. Total = 5)

* Please be patient. I'm still in school but I'm willing to use up all my free time to do these drawings.

* If your drawing doesn't seem right or missing something, please let me know and I'll get straight to it.


Ready to Request?
Please leave a comment (or a note) with the following:
Request #_/3
Refs:
Info: (what exactly you want, be specific)

Do this again if you're requesting for another one.


Requests are OPEN from Sept. 3 - Sept. 8
Requests (for now) CLOSE at September 8, 3:00pm Pacific Time.

*Any questions? Please feel free to ask.



I think that's about it.
Alrighty, ask away!
