Lights Grace

As promised! A Follower Giveaway to celebrate hitting 100+ followers!

To show my thanks, I’m giving away art!

{Details under the cut!}

I have been toying with this idea for some time now involving the many artists in the WrA community. Would there be any interest in doing a Secret Santa where each artists submits their name and their WoW OC that is then randomly assigned for another artist to draw and gift. Nothing fancy, and whatever and however each artist wants to draw is up to them (busts, portrait, full-body, etc). There will likely be a very very generous deadline for this.

Just an idea, but I am interested in gauging interest from other people. This may help some artists gain more exposure, spread positivity, and give me the absolute fucking chance to draw someone else’s character and see my own in another’s style. 

Also me as a writer: Just. A. Dash. Of. Angst.
