boy howdy
I'm noticing im coming up to 3k watchers and I'll probably hit that 100k views within this semester too sooo....
Who would like me to host some giveaways to celebrate you guys?
I have a few ideas, might choose what would be most fun, or maybe a bit of all!
1. I choose some giveaways.
I choose to draw for ppl that have supported me, active commenters, people who I interact with or I see on my page often, etc.
(Therefore, the ppl i think are most deserving win.)
2. Raffle
Comment to enter, each person is given a number. Winner picked randomly
(The fairest way, but this means absolute randos can win)
3. Treasure hunt or trivia give aways
I ask random questions about myself or my art and the first person to answer correctly wins art. Or maybe I give hints to a certain art piece in my gallery and you have to track down the right one.
(This means people who pay extra attention to my art and profile are most likely to win~)
4. Livestream giveaways
Those who support me on picarto can get some live doodles, randomly picked from whatever character designs catch my eye.
Or maybe even the 5/10 min challenge, in which I have to doodle characters as fast as possible (this means lots of people can watch and get dumb sketches yeeee)
Im not doing screenshot kiribans anymore those are an absolute pain in my ass.
Idk i think this would be fun, even if i only did one or two drawings :0 Depending on the support and free time I have.
Whatcha think :^)

Hello after 2 years o/
Howdy all, not sure if I have any active followers on here still :'>
I haven't really been active here for the last couple of years.
What have I missed?
What's the deal with Eclipse?
When that goes live, is dA as we know it ded?
Any of y'all from the 2010 sparkle dragon days still kickin about?
I've been so nostalgic for old dA times so I logged back in to check what's been happening and if any of my mutuals are still creating art.
I've been spending most of my time on Paleo Pines' development.
(If y'all don't know, it was a game idea I pitched back in 2019 that's now fully funded and currently being developed in the indie game st
Paleo Pines- Join our Discord Server!
Howdy all!
Been a while since I've updated here. I've been busy working on our dinosaur-theme ranching/social sim, Paleo Pines. I've shared it a little here on dA, as seen below!
The team's super excited to show off what we've been working on!

Tell me your favourite Dinosaur!
Howdy!
Time for possible the best conversation starter! Favourite Dinos!
This question comes in two parts...
1. What's your favourite Dinosaur(s)?
2. What's an obscure/underrated dino you wished was in media more?
(And yes, for conversation's sake pterosaurs, archosaurs, synapsids and whatever other non-dino reptiles can be included :> )
In case you didn't know, I'm developing a casual dino themed farm/social sim!
And although it's heavily stylised, I want to keep the dinos fairly accurate and have a large roster of creatures!
Obviously, we'll initially include the fan favourites and well known dinosaurs, with a sprinkle of paleo-c
Tell me your new year's resolutions!
Howdy all, hope you had a nice n restful christmas :>
2019 is approaching and I thought it'd be nice to discuss some of our goals for the coming year!
(I know a NYR's tend to cause a lot of eyerolls, but I think setting goals can be extremely valuable for artists, and by talking to others about it you sort of...speak it into existence?)
For myself, I have the obvious "Improve art" and "get into shape" goals. But I also have a more specific one:
Get 1,000 followers on Twitter and/or Instagram
Yeah, I know this seems really arbitrary...But lets be real, more people interacting with your art is extremely rewarding and helps you strive to

Congratulations!
Entirely random is always a good way to avoid accusations of favoritism, but it can also mean that you end up drawing for people you've never seen in your life and ignoring those who constantly support you.
Picking people out means that you can reward those that you feel are the most deserving. But can also leave some people feeling disheartened if they love your work but don't get drawn for.
Livestreams sound like a great idea, but they're problematic in that they exclude people who are not in your timezone/are busy/don't have a fast enough internet connection.
The long and short is that no matter what you do you can never win!
Maybe a small collection of all three? Or mostly hand picked people that support you the most, and then one random one?
