Here’s my entry for the second prompt of the STVBB art bash 2024: Storytelling! ✨ @stranglethorn-bonfire-bash

This is a completely new experience for Rusty, but he’s being so brave about it. It turns out he did actually have a story in mind—one that’s entirely inspired by the latest major events of his life and the things he’s still processing. You might be able to guess who the other animals are meant to be 🐭

Featuring the characters of: Mingles, Deezmo (who is not in the art bash), Chromadraco, @goblinbisaster, Gray_Beast1995, KatArt8809, @kottkrig, @queenofdeath666, @/snakekettle on bsky, and SilverSoo!

This took around 46.5 hours from start to finish for all the pages combined, and that sketchy section definitely helped me time-wise lol. I hope you guys like the piece and Rusty’s sad little fable! 💙

Also on twitter!

And here's the closeup ^-^

"Once upon a time, on Bonfire Isle..."

We hope you're as excited as we are for the return of the Stranglethorn Bonfire Bash! For our 9th consecutive year, we're thrilled to bring you another summer of creative collaboration, original games, and faction neutral beachside RP on the private server Epsilon!

We're also proud to announce that, for the first time ever, we're doing THREE DAYS of the Bash! Join us Friday 08/23, Saturday 08/24, & Sunday 08/25!

This year we'll divert from the natural and venture into the fantastical with our official theme: FABLES & FAIRY TALES. Dive into stories new and old to draw inspiration from legends both heroic and fearsome, and use those elements to craft a unique themed beachwear look that represents one of our two teams, HEROES & VILLAINS.

Not only is the Art Bash returning, but so is the team-based competition! Get ready to join our official discord on 07/23 so you can pick your team and sign up to participate in 3 weeks of themed art prompts.

Our Charity Art Raffle is returning for its 2nd year, featuring 19 incredible artists who are donating their time and skills to help us raise money for our chosen nonprofit! Full details on the charity and all the artists + prizes coming soon!

More information on everything as well as our full schedule will be released in the coming weeks, so for now, keep your eyes on our socials and check out our site for some answers to your potential questions!

See you soon, beachgoers!
