I'm not sure what to use as the catalyst for this, since a couple of things lined up all at once. Christmas/birthday/new year? A tiny bit late. Watcher count? I was gonna do something at 500, but I guess time just got away from me for a bit. There's almost 600 of you now, soooo... fuck it, we'll go with that!

I'm immensely happy to be part of this community and to have experienced how kind and welcoming it is. To all you wonderful peeps, whether you're just lurking around or coming up to say "Hi!", thank you all. You are what makes this community what it is. And to that end, I wanna give a little something back. I mentioned in a previous journal that I've been tempted to hold an art raffle, so here it is! The winner will receive a piece of art with my character and theirs, paid for in full by yours truly.

There are some rules and limitations, of course, and I will be going through them shortly. After a winner is picked, I will post the result and contact them via FA notes, and they will have 48 hours to respond. If they don't respond in the given time, I'll be re-rolling. I will not reach out via Discord or Telegram or any other platform. I'm not sure how a scammer could fool someone in this situation, but I'd rather say it to be sure considering the attempts I've experienced lately.

Now, before I get to the raffle rules, I want to take this moment to thank   kuribon for kindly agreeing to take on the commission for the winner! He is an artist whose art is arguably one of the biggest reasons I'm even part of this community, and I'm thrilled to have him as the artist for this. Go check him out and send him some love!

Okie, so! Raffle rules!

Prerequisites:

- A character with a visual ref sheet (Either your OC or an adopt you own, but no canon characters)
- A general idea for the artwork
- A non-empty, non-new FA account. Ideally, with some character art or a ref sheet already in your gallery, so I know it's not a raffle-only account.

The reward:

As mentioned, the reward will be an artpiece by Tirol according to the winner's idea. You can find his ToS and Pricing Info on his page, so be sure to read that and keep it in mind when thinking up what you'd like.

As far as my character goes, you do have a choice between the Regular (sfw / nsfw) or Dragon (sfw / nsfw) version for this. And while I would not mind a wholesome and SFW idea from the winner, I will say that something lewd & spicy is not only welcome, but heavily encouraged!

In the case of the latter, be sure to read through my likes and dislikes, which you can find on my F-List. I'm open to a lot of things so long as they respect this list (and, of course, Tirol's ToS), and I'll love it to bits if you lean into the faves column. You also don't need to have an extremely specific idea ready to go right after the raffle - having a handful of things from the list picked out that you really like and want to include is plenty to go on if you want to hash the idea out afterwards!

Something to keep in mind is that my budget for this is capped at 300€ for the entire artpiece, and that I reserve the right to reject the idea if either Tirol or I are not comfortable with it.

How to participate

- Watch me
- Post a comment down below and include a link to your ref sheet (or sheets if you're not sure which character you want to use)
- [optional] You can earn an additional number by posting a journal with a link to this post and linking that journal in your comment

I will go through the comments periodically and reply with a number to enter you for the raffle!

That's about it!
Best of luck to everyone!

I will also include this right here, just to make sure you've read things - as a secret little requirement to participate, be sure to include your favourite secondary character in a book, movie or TV show. Lemme start - Amos Burton from The Expanse. Because he is that guy.

This raffle will be running until February 24th, and the art slot with Tirol is scheduled for March!
