Ohhhh you wanna do these prompts so so badly

The fairy tail redraw event is open to all artists (whether you are traditional or digital) and editors!

The rules are simple:

Pick a prompt to redraw or edit (or 2, or all of em if you feel like it!)

You're free to interpret and change the drawing however you see fit! Wanna change some colours? Wanna tweak things here and there? Go ahead! Nothing's off the table! The prompts are here to inspire you!

When you're done, @ this blog in your post and use the tag #fairytailredraw for it to be reblogged here and that's it! All there is to it!

Also an important note: though the redraw prompts change every month there is no such thing as a late drawing! You could draw any prompt any time and it wouldn't matter.

So no pressure on being late!

Have any questions? Look here or shoot the blog a question!

So, I secretly really appreciate Luvia as a ship. That's the name right? I hope so😭. It mostly came from their interactions in the first few arcs especially with these two having the first unison raid in the series. I think they have so much potential. I ship the main ships more, but this has a little corner of my heart.

I tried a very different method of shading this time. I haven't tried this method since I was using ibis paint on my phone back in 2020 which funny enough, I drew this exact picture for Amino a millenia ago actually😭. It looks terrible, but it will be down below to show the improvement.

This took me so long because I've been a bit burnt out with digital art, but I HAD to at least get this one out. Hope everyone likes this!

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. now. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. now. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

b) if you have the money: join one or multiple of eff.org / cbldf.org / freespeechcoalition.com

partly because they're actively fighting this, partly because they have members-only Lawyers You Might Need. Hint. Hint. Canary.

c) Write Down Those Lawyer Contact Numbers in meatspace. phone number of a real human being especially on paper, On You.

I have been in contact with lawyers for a few months now as my doujin circle knows. this should be telling you Many Things.

d) www.ecrater.com is where i'm going to be tentatively testing a shop because i like the fact you can *not* have payment processes and order digital/physical products via purely mail order.

(... be prepared for this to fall through too in the next 1-6 months.)

e) friends and followers of nsfw artists who earn most of their income through it: now's the time to support them. they're going to need the grace and financial flexibility especially mental health wise. domain/shop transfer/refund/therapy bills ain't free.

check in on them, and often.

f) get a VPN, use it daily to acclimatize, have them on your hard drive, several VPN's preferable. this is for the age verification laws coming. Start reading up on secure, privacy-focused infrastructure (prioritize email > website > shop in that order).

eff.org has a *ton* of resources.

g) prepare for discord and tumblr to be hit in the next wave. have alternatives *and actively start using them* if they're mission critical platforms for you.

I've played with matrix though I quite fancy IRC. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I say these things not to fearmonger but to give yourself the maximum amount of time to prepare. the pendulum *will* swing back. it did with the 80's moral panic. it will for this too.

commission for @fairy-tail-trash :) thank you again for commissioning me!!

i do not have the energy to draw a new thing for my girl im so sorry--

My piece for @theguildawards server's Colours of the Sky event! I picked Red thinking it would be easy to make something for Gajeel with it..... and then Laxus happened 😂

Natsu vs. Laxus: chapter 123, episode 47.

Pretty sure this was how it was going before Gajeel hopped in right?
