Looking through this thread and getting to see over 400 (wow!) pieces of incredible art was truly such a gift and an incredible experience! I'm gonna be honest, I looked through here before really looking at the contest, staff favourite and raffle winners LOL. I was just so excited to finally see everyone's work!!
The generosity, kindness and friendship in this community has never failed to astound me in the 9 years I've been here, but the generosity (and the talent!) you all displayed during this event truly took my breath away! It makes my heart so happy to see how many of you did extra drawings! Getting to see so many unique reps in so many different and wonderful art styles was such a blessing for my eyes. Whether you only managed to do one extra drawing, 50, or any number in-between, you are all incredible and thoughtful, and I know you've all made each and every one of your recipients happy!
I've already thanked my artists personally and in the closing ceremony thread, but I just wanted to say a big thank you again to Dunquixote, .: Meri :., -Blue-, Halloqueen, faerie, xSuperMario64x, BetsySundrop, azurill, Foreverfox, MrBox and Zerous (not pinging you all again because I don't want to be annoying lol) for drawing me! I truly wasn't expecting any drawings at all, so the fact that 11 people thought of me and took the time to draw me means the world. I will cherish my new art and all of your kindnesses forever!
I'm very happy that I was able to squeeze in a few extra drawings myself before the deadline! I wish I could have gotten started on them sooner and submitted more in time for the big reveal, but I actually continued to work on drawings after the deadline to send to people personally! I've been able to complete 7 drawings between then and now, and since all of the recipients have seen them, I thought it'd be fun to post them in here for everyone else to see as well! I still have.. 6 drawings to do.. so I will be back!!
