Holy crap! I have officially been back on FA for a year now! Oh man, how exciting :D It's been an absolutely fabulous year, if I do say so myself. Since starting my account last year I've racked up over 13,000 pageviews and attracted the attention of over 1000 watchers. I'm so stunned and humbled by those numbers ;__; Especially considering I'm on a predominantly anthro site without much anthro art at all in my gallery. WOW! I'm so touched that so many of you guys actually like my work. And even more touching is the number of friends I've made since joining. There's too many to list individually, but I love each and every one of you guys. This has been a remarkable year!

And with that said, I'd like to do something for you guys. I'm holding a FREE art raffle as my way of saying thank you for all the support you've given me. There will be two prizes and there's no fee to enter. So how about some details!

Maryn's Anniversary Free Art Raffle!
THE RAFFLE IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED! THANK YOU FOR ENTERING!!

The Date: I will hand out tickets until midnight Central Standard time on Saturday, May 25th. Drawing will be done and winners announced in the evening of Sunday, May 26th.

The Prizes: There will be two prizes. One is a two and a half hour livestream sketch session that will take place on the day of Saturday, June 15th (time to be decided, most likely evening). The second prize is a small doodle book drawn in pocket sized Molesking postal notebook in the color of the winner's choosing. Doodle book has four pages.

The Tickets
No purchase is necessary for the tickets to this raffle! Hooray! :D But you do still have to do a little work for them. One ticket will be given if you advertise my raffle in your personal journal. This is only for FA journals. You'll need to provide me a link to your advertising journal in the comment section below. In that comment please indicate which prize you want your ticket to go towards. If you don't tell me, you WILL NOT GET A TICKET. I will then provide you with your ticket number. A second ticket will be given if you tell me which submission in my gallery is your favorite and why. I will only give a ticket for this if you actually put effort into your comment. You don't have to kiss my ass or write me an essay, but it should be something other than, "Because he's hot" or "Because it looks really cool". Effort gets rewarded. As above, please indicate which prize you'd like the ticket to go towards and I will give you a ticket number. I will pass you over if you look like you're trolling.

The Rules
-You must be watching my account. I'll check the list when you enter.
-You must be 18 years old to enter. There's a potential for these prizes to be adult in nature and I don't want to take any chances on ending up drawing for a minor.
-A maximum of two tickets will be given to any individual entering. You cannot give your tickets to someone else. If you do not want either of the prizes, do not enter. Your tickets can go towards either prize. You can use them both in the livestream, both in the doodle book, or one for each.
-Personal characters ONLY. No fanart, no having me draw someone else's character, even as gift art. You must own the characters you want the prize art drawn of. I'm not interested in the stress of figuring out who the characters belong to. This means that these prizes can NOT be given to someone as a gift. My commissions are a different story, but I want to keep these prizes straight forward.
-I will not draw any fetish material for these prizes that does not conform to my ToS list (which you can see here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10276997/)
-You do not have to be present for the Livestream to win the prize. The livestream will be done on that day regardless if you can attend or not. I will try to find a time that works best for both of us, but I'm not going to reschedule if something comes up for you. Art from the livestream will likely be a colored sketch.
-To enter for the doodle book you MUST BE IN THE USA. Sorry, I can't afford to pay lots of moneys to ship overseas :< You must also be willing to provide your address for shipping. You will not be asked to do this publicly, of course.
-Winners must respond to the journal announcing the drawing within 48 hours. If you win and do not at least leave me a comment I'll draw a new winner to take your place. Have your character refs ready to send in a note.
-I reserve the right to refuse any character or subject matter if I find it overly difficult or in bad taste (with regards to my own taste, of course). If I reject your idea and you throw a fit, your prize will be forfeit.
BY ENTERING THE RAFFLE YOU HAVE AGREED THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE RULES ABOVE!

Okay, I think that covers everything. If you have questions feel free to comment or note me with them. I'll update the rules with new info if needed. For now, get to it! Let's start handing out raffle tickets :D
