Art Challenges!

ty for sending!

Hello!!!

I have a little something planned for Mermay this year! I still want to participate but I will only be doing 6 drawings this time (last time I was too greedy thinking I could do 31 drawings without burning out ;-;).

I will explain all the details later but to give you a little preview, you will be able to decide the order and the theme of each drawing by voting here, on my Patreon or on Instagram~

This year's theme is ✨sharks✨! I made a little scratch card with six different species, which will be unlocked depending on the results of each poll.

It looks like this:

The plan is: (1) a public/free poll every five days or so to choose what species should be unlocked next and (2) a Patreon poll (available to the $1 tier) to decide the theme/prompt of each drawing.

But like I said, I will give you all the details in another post. I just wanted to keep you updated!💗

guess who’s probably participating in Mermay this year!

(It’s me. I am. It’ll be my first too.)

I was gonna make a post including other art/writing challenges I might participate in and with what kind of thing (e.g. OCs, an AU, wtv), but then I was like “yo what if I just do it here tho” so now I’m just gonna do it here. Not all of this is confirmed btw. I do (unfortunately) have a life outside art/writing. So… yeah. I also never do every single day for something. Sometimes I’ll do them on the “wrong days.” Yes, I know that some of these are writing-only or writing-mainly. Yes, I’m still planning to do art for the majority of them./lighthearted

(Note: If smth has an asterisk(*), that makes it more of a “maybe,” and if smth has an up arrow(^), that makes it more of a “I really wanna do this one.” The more smth has of a thing, the more emphasis there is on the meaning. Also ~ means it can be merged with another list’s prompt and + means the same but for another prompt on the same list)

Anyway, here are my current plans/notes:
