WINNERS ANNOUNCED: goomy's going-away party

[your local goomy]

Hey all, I'm here with some grim news. My mental health is at an all-time low, so in order to work on myself, I'm deciding to leave tbt for a while, considering that I'm not really into AC anymore because of New Horizons and I just don't have the strength to be social anymore. Thus, I'm deciding to take a pretty long hiatus from the forums, if I even decide to come back. So, as a sort of going-away party, I decided to hold an art contest and give away my collectibles since I don't want them to juat rot here. Some of them are worth quite a lot. This is to make up not having a ton of tbt on me to give away. Keep them, sell them, I don't care. The prizes are as followed:

1st place: My beloved Flick Halloweaster Egg. It's my favorite collectible and worth around 6k tbt, so I'm hoping to reward it to an incredible entry!

2nd place: A Pikachu Egg. Worth a few hundred tbt. Kind of a drastic drop from the Flick egg, but still.

3rd Place: My Pavé. Worth around 100-150 TBT, but still a collectible nonetheless.

To enter, all you have to do is draw one of my Pokemon OCs. I have 6, so feel free to draw any of them. I also have their teams and...mostly canon love intetests...listed, and whilst adding them isn't guaranteed to increase your chances of winning, it would make these tough times a little less tough for me...considering I love art of my ships lol. You can find my girls here. Art of any of them is amazing, but I'm especially looking for art of my girls Maple, Maddie, and Emma! Or...you can also draw my AC rep, preferrably with Cyd, my favorite villager, or just Cyd by himself if you can't draw humans. I have two references for my rep, one with her normal outfits and one without glasses so you can see her freckle patterns!

Spoiler: Refs

All I ask is that you put effort into it. A drawing that looks like it was made in 5 mimutes will not get accepted. I highly prefer digital art over traditional, but both are fine. Entries will stop being accepted at 12:00am on October 15th, whilst entries will be judged and raffles will be performed at around 6pm EST. Then, winners will be announced and prizes will be distributed.

Well, that's pretty much all. I hope that you'll be able to have fun here even when I don't...and please take care of the collectibles. Btw, don't tell me who you're drawing, I love surprises.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like too many people are interested, but I added another oc!

 

[S.J.]

Aww, I'm not sure how I didn't see this before now, I'm sorry! I'd love to enter and draw one of your OCs!

I'm so sorry you're struggling at the moment. I'm really sad to see you go, but I'm wishing you all the best as well. Take good care of yourself. ❤

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

hello I would love to join! I have very limited human-drawing abilities but I'll try!!

 

[Foreverfox]

I have extremely limited art abilities, but flick, so I'll try ❤

i’m interested and will definitely be entering, i‘m just still in the process of brainstorming some ideas for my entry aha. your ocs are lovely btw!

i’m also so very sorry that you’re hurting right now. i was actually keeping an eye on the thread that you made before it got locked to see how you were doing, and i meant to offer my support then as well, but i was experiencing pretty bad brain fog at the time and couldn’t think of what to say >_<. i’m honestly really sad to see you go, but i completely understand and respect your choice to take a break. i truly hope that things get better for you; we may not have interacted much, but you’re a wonderful person from what i’ve seen and you deserve to be happy.

i’ll try to get my entry done sometime this week. thank you for doing this! <3

 

[Firesquids]

Just seeing this now too, sorry to hear you're having a hard time Goomy, I'll try my hand at one your ocs if I have time

 

[King koopa]

I'm sorry your going through this. Sometimes mental health can be annoying. I'll try my best to draw one of your ocs for you . Also if you want to vent before you go on your hiatus, I'm always here. I probably can't help much, but I'll do what I can

 

[Roxxy]

I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are having a hard time. Your mental health is the most important thing. Please take care and if you ever need an ear my dms are always open

I have very limited drawing ability which doesn’t include humans not as an entry but I would be happy to attempt a Pokemon or if you have a favourite AC villager.

 

[your local goomy]

I'm sorry for sounding so dramatic on my last post, I didn't mean to try and spark pity, I just wasn't sure it people were actually interested or not. My bad.

And to @Roxxy or those concerned about drawing humans, I'd probably accept AC content. I don't have a rep reference since no longer play NH, but I'd take art of my favorite punk elephant, Cyd ❤

I might try Cyd too, if that's okay, my human capabilities are not that great. If not, no worries those capabilities will be put to the test!

 

[.: Meri :.]

Hi! I'm sorry you're going through a hard time, and I hope you can start feeling better again soon. I struggle with my mental health a fair bit too—I hope your break helps, and if you decide you want to come back to TBT afterwards, I'm sure we'd all be happy to have you around again. I really like your OCs' designs; I'll try and see if I can start working on an entry soon! ^^
Also, seeing your username, I just wanted to add that I think Goomy is an A++ Pokemon, it's so cute. ;v;

 

[Beanz]

im sad that you’re leaving, i hope you feel better soon <3 i’d love join and draw one of your oc’s but i may or may not be able to because im sort of busy this week

 

[jadetine]

Girrrrrrrl... you do you. I hear life has been punching you in the heart a lot lately, and I really wish I could send you more than a few words and pixels. I totally get you on the need for "comfort ships" though (I just love that this is a thing!)
I know that I recently finished a piece with Maple, but I want you to feel a warm fuzzy internet hug every time you look at something. When you feel overwhelmed, look at the sky and just remember that we are a bunch of monkeys on a dirtball hurtling through space; but also remember that you are sweet, kind, creative, and worthy of love and care (especially from yourself).

 

[Croconaw]

I completely understand and respect your decision for a break from the forum. It will give you the alone time you need. I’ll try a picture of Cyd if I have time, as I’m not yet comfortable with humans just yet. I wish you the best for the future if you do end up leaving the forums for good. You’re a really good person, goomy.

 

[your local goomy]

Thanks for your support, everyone ❤ . How kind you guys are is why this isn't technically a going-away party, since I'll be lurking a bit. I'm finally getting a keyboard for my iPad tomorrow, so I want to try and post my short stories here...even if they're mainly my dumb shippy Pokémon fanfictions. Even if I don't ACTUALLY leave, I still want to hold this contest for the friends I've made here and give away my collectibles to show my gratefulness. I'm excited to see what y'all come up with! ☺

 

[SpaceTokki77]

finished my entry!! i had a lot of fun drawing Emma (i think that’s her? lol) and i hope you like it! i’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling great, i know i’ve felt the same! my pms are open if you need to vent or just hear something that will cheer you up <3

note: even though it looks like a five year old drew it in 2 seconds, this art piece actually took me a while :’o

 

[tessa grace]

I'm sorry that you're going through hard things, take as much time as you need Hopefully we can see you on tbt again someday when you're ready.

I might enter, I'm a little busy with my giveaway but I really just wanted to post here and say that I hope you're doing okay.

 

[Dunquixote]

Just popping in to say I’m sorry that you’re not feeling well :/. Sending you good vibes and I sincerely hope you can get yourself feeling better and overcome whatever else you’re struggling with. I have a few drawings I’m working on, but if there is time left by the time I’m done before the deadline, I’ll try drawing you one of your OCs.


Edit: Sorry if I somehow offended you. I may be on the autistic spectrum so some stuff I say may be awkward.

 

[kiwikenobi]

I'm not really an artist--I call my drawing style "advanced doodle"--and I also don't want any of the collectibles that you're giving away. But I drew this for you since you said you wouldn't mind a drawing of Cyd, so here he is, enjoying a soothing hot beverage, whatever you think he'd most like to drink. I hope it helps you to feel better at least a little.
