Monthly Character Interaction YCHs

January's winner will be selected later on Febraury 1, it's a tough choice for sure, but I'm excited to start on it soon! Look forward to it!

A reminder of February's theme and an introduction to the March theme are below:

February 23 - SFW, any character - Time to hit the slopes with your snowboarding bunny buddy for the day: Malea! With your camera / selfie stick in hand, carve through the terrain park and grab the perfect aerial action photo of the two of you racing to the bottom. You'll be able to fully customize your outfit and gear to ensure you're shredding in style!

March 22 - SFW, canines only, any gender - A howl pierces through the night as the clouds part and a full moon reveals itself. Aarvid has been sent to investigate rumours of a huge, menacing werewolf terrifying the denizens of the forest! Bring out your most dangerous, sharp-toothed, ravenous canines to play the part of villain in this showdown between you and the diminutive hero.

Are there themes or ideas for a future YCH you'd like to see? Comment below or shoot me a message with your thoughts, and it could show up later this year!

Current Artworks / Progress

I do have a Trello for those interested, but here's a quick rundown of what I'm working on and how far along things are. January turned out to be a bit busier than I expected along with a bit of a vacation, so I'm not quite as far along as I hoped on all of this stuff and haven't had time to really sit down and do shading or heavy work on these pieces just yet. February's a lighter schedule though, so I'll be able to pick up the pace and deliver some really exciting artwork soon!

I also decided it would be a great idea to draw an alternate version for the Azra fanart with her in her armor as well as nude, so there's that slowing me down a little bit. Should be worth it though!

Another milestone: 600 watchers!

Well, that was fast! Before I'm even done with the 500 watcher milestone prizes, we've reached 600. Thank you so much to everyone following me here, and welcome to those of you who've just recently watched my page.

As promised, a raffle will be coming soon to celebrate the milestone. Grand prize will be a character sheet, with additional sketch prizes available based on participation and new watchers gained during the raffle. I'm going to try and finish up most of the artwork I have on the go before I launch that, however, so stay tuned and keep an eye on my page for the 600 watcher raffle coming in the near future.

That's a wrap for now. Again, if you have feedback or an idea for a future YCH or fanart, just toss a comment at me and you might see it show up sometime down the road.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you in the comments of a YCH, fanart vote or raffle soon!
