Combination New Year's raffle and 400 watcher milestone raffle! Let's go!

A lot of people joke about new years resolutions being silly and quickly abandoned come January 2nd, but I like to make simple, easy-to-achieve goals and think of them as self affirmations to improve in little ways. For example, my resolution from 2023 was to commission artists more frequently and be less shy about my own ideas instead of relying solely on YCH's. Something simple to get me to open up a little more and reach out no matter how embarrassingly horny the idea sounds. While I still had plenty of YCH's uploaded into my gallery, a lot of what I got this year were original commission ideas, gifts, and artistic liberty pieces that I'm very happy with. I'd say 2023 was a success in that regard!

For 2024, I'd like to try to get back into writing, so my goal will be to attach a mini story at least once a month to a commission upload (whether past or present) to make things more exciting and get more practice in. If I'm successful, maybe I can start commissioning ideas around my writings instead of writing about the commission. We'll start by hosting a quick raffle for a commission with my character and yours, so that I have something to write about!


Here's how it'll work:

* As most raffles go, entrants simply have to be watching me to be eligible. New watchers are welcome (unless you have a suspiciously empty account), and obviously unwatching afterwards blocks you from any further events. Don't be a dick.

* The winner will get treated to a commission with your own character and mine. The actual artist, exact scene, and SFW/NSFW is all to be determined after the winner is picked so that I can choose an artist good with the winner's species. If you win, feel free to offer some suggestions for what sort of scene you would like or what species you'd like to see my shape-shifting sona in (fox, stallion, werefox, lion, bear, etc). Just remember that I'm a lil' gay feral and I have final say in what gets drawn, so no requesting female cub Bayard or something way out of my norm. Essentially you pick the characters and scene, I pick the artist, finalize the details, and pay the bill.

* Comment to this journal with your own New Year's resolution for 2024 and a link to your character's ref, and I'll (eventually) respond to assign you a raffle number. It doesn't have to be a complicated goal for a resolution, just something realistic that you'd like to see or do this year. :3

* Posting a journal with a link to the raffle and informing me of such will earn you an additional raffle number. Plus, hide the magic code words from the New Year journal into your comment and you'll get another additional number.



My next day off is conveniently one week from now, so the raffle will end at 10am EST on 1/7/24 and the winner selected via random number generator. Good luck to everyone participating and lets make 2024 a year to remember!
