Quick update. January, I made a quick little event to try for more viewer interaction but well we didn't get many participants. Nevertheless, :iconaroade: gets a chibi like  Chibi Bottle Miku by Stairfell and :iconraineymotley: gets either a fullbody like  Only a tad bit off by Stairfell or Prill Animated Pixel by Stairfell (Points have also been sent).


Well if I have a contest or challenge anytime in the future, I'll try to advertise it better. In the mean time, I started a youtube channel.  (Shameless self promotion)

Hiya everybody laze wavy arms icon Its 2018 and we're all trying to improve ourselves with exercise and study goals, but YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS WITH YOUR ART AS WELL!

For a raffle ticket I want you to state your new years resolution for art. Here are mine: Finish and post what I start more often, work on backgrounds, try using more interesting lighting, Assemble a bomb-ass cosplay (San and Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke), make more pixel art and polish up my style.

State at least 3 things you want to do or improve on. If you can't think of all three, here's a big list to give you some ideas:
- Do more in or try a new medium, digital art, traditional, pixel, papercrafts, or even things like writing and music
- Make proper ref and bio sheets for OCs
- ANATOMY ANATOMY ANATOMY
- Improve on color design and composition
- Learn how to draw intricate garments and hairstyles
- Make gifs
- Dynamic poses
- Interesting Facial Expression / grow out of same face syndrome
- Try a new style
- Draw subjects that you want to draw but don't commonly draw (Buildings if you normally draw living things, animals if you normally draw humans, boys if you normally draw girls, etc)
Of course don't limit yourself to this list

*Free Icon/Emote* Pusheen (...I Wuv It!) Commenting on the journal will get you 1 raffle ticket. For an additional raffle ticket, fav and share this journal. I'd also like to mention that you do not need to be a watcher to participate (ofc you're welcome to watch if you like my art.)

FOR THE CONTEST PART Fool Emoji-14 (Pervy Crazy Dance) [V1] Its really quite simple. Make a piece of art that helps you achieve at least one of your goals. I will pick 3 winners who show the most dedication and step outside of their comfort zone to try to get better at their craft.

Temmie Emoticon Icon Gif - Undertale excitedThe prizes

Raffle: There will be 1 winner who will get a full body in this style:  Triangle Marikan by Stairfell

Grand prize: One person will get 300 Points and a pixel commission of something like this:   Prill Animated Pixel by Stairfell or a full body in this style:  Only a tad bit off by Stairfell (Imagine this but cleaner since this is kinda small)

Two runner ups will get 100Points and a chibi in this style:  Chibi Bottle Miku by Stairfell (I will simplify clothing)


If you would like to donate points or art for prizes, that would be lovely. QvQ I'll give y'all free sketches. 

CONTEST ENDS JANUARY 31ST but lets be real, I'm probably gonna close this when I wake up on February 1. If you need an extension, please let me know and I'll give you a few days. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND HAVE FUN!

Yup as the title says. I've been in a pixel-y mood for a while and its not going away. This'll stay open until I feel like it...I guess.

WHAT I'M OFFERIN'



Bobbing icons:

$3 or 300 points



Icon Alexandria by Stairfell Pixel Icon for rabid-squirrelly by Stairfell
They can have the colored background like you see above, or a transparent background. I can't make them blink because it results in a file size too big for icons.

Blob icons:

$1 or 100 points



Animated Button Mash Blob by Stairfell Flutterbat free icon by Stairfell Elouin by Stairfell
This was originally made for ponies, but the base can really be used on any animal that you would like to make a blob. I can add blinks or other small animations.


Medium Pagedoll:

$10+


Cheongsam Nozomi by StairfellCheongsam Rin by Stairfell Cheongsam Umi by Stairfell
They will be 150x150 or smaller. The finished thing will be static or blinking. It will cost a bit extra for more complex designs.


"Choose Your Fighter" Style Animated Pagedoll:

$35+


Prill Animated Pixel by Stairfell
Each one will be posed differently. It'll be roughly this size anatomy wise. I will charge extra for large wings, tails, very detailed clothing, lots of colors, etc. 


Laze Icons:

FREE but tossing a few points into the donation pool won't hurt


Lazekiss by Stairfell Lazeswirl by Stairfell
Just drop a few suggestions for more lazes below. If I really like the idea, I'll make it a thing.


RULES


- I have the right to refuse commissions. I'll give a reason if I do so. Don't pay until after I accept.
- Please stay in contact with me during the commission process. Some delay is understandable but don't ghost me.
- Pay all or 50% upfront. I won't start until you do. Payment is in USD and through Paypal.
- Please give me refs in the form of images
- I will do both canon characters and OCs
- Do not use this for commercial purposes 
- This is more of a note than a rule, but I realize just about all the examples are girls. I can draw guys as well lol

HOW THIS'LL GO DOWN


I'm going to send you at least 1 WIP. There will definitely be more for the larger pieces. Please tell me about edits I need to make right away. It'll be easier for me and the finished work will look better. I won't resume working on the art until you send some sort of response to the WIP. If you decided to pay 50% up front, I'll send over the completed drawing after I receive the remaining 50%. Commissions should take no longer than 2 weeks.



That's all! Thank you for reading.

I've been trying to come up with more ways to interact with my watchers. I would like to host art contests and drawing challenges, but i don't really have prizes to give out at the end. I could always give out art, but I'd rather also give some points as prizes, but you see, I don't really have that many. This is where crowdfunding comes in.

I have started up a donation pool on my page. The current goal is 500 points

I'll also add to this pool slowly too through DA hub or from my adoptable account. Right now I'm just testing out to see how fast the pool will fill up. But of course you read the word "raffle" in the title and are wondering what that's about. 

I will do an art raffle when the goal is reached. It will be something different each time

The raffle will be a great way to give art to any watchers who can't afford commissions. I will be adjusting the amount of points needed to reach the goal the first few times to find a good balance. Also:

If you donate 20 points or more, I will feature you in the raffle journal.

Yup...I just added an incentive. QwQ

Also, if you want something other than a feature for your points, you can check out [my adoptable account here]. I will add a few points myself to the donation pool with every adopt sold.
