I managed to get 5 bonus drawings done and submitted before the deadline! I would've been able to get more done had I started sooner, but I wasn't sure I'd be doing any bonus drawings at all with how I've been feeling this past month, despite how much I've wanted to. 5 drawings in less than 48 hours isn't too shabby, though!
I still have like... 10+ reps I want to draw though, so hopefully they won't mind receiving their art personally rather than during the big reveal. I know it won't be as exciting that way, but hopefully it's the thought that counts. :') I hope I didn't butcher anyone's rep too badly haha!
This was honestly a really sweet event; I'd love to see something like this return in the future! It's been so heartwarming to see so many of you dedicate time to creating bonus drawings, whether it was 1 or 50!
I've also seen some of you worrying about disappointing your recipients with your art. I hope you all genuinely know that regardless of your artistic abilities,
receiving art from you (or anyone) is a gift. I can guarantee you that everyone you created art for will be so honoured and happy with what you created for them, because it's not the ability or skill that matters, but the thought and effort. I can't speak for everyone on this point, but personally someone could draw a stick figure for me and I would literally still offer them my arm and leg in gratitude lol. You have all gifted people with your time, effort and thoughtfulness, and that is worth much more than artistic ability.
I can't wait for the big reveal!!
