Yes! Make sure to read every last word! I've been working on that since MONDAY.
With lots of input from Jeremy (he's also responsible for the Vesta collectible), help with the art collages by dizzy bone, and the closing ceremony artwork is by Laudine!

Yes! Baby expired at 10:48pm BST. 😭

They are definitely some great posts! They did meet the sky high expectations. ;) Also I am in love with the upper half of that bell tree fair banner artwork. That background is just top tier. I hope to achieve that level some day...

I'm going to miss the goose. D:

should I hang it on my wall

Either on the fridge or above your bed, clearly!

I find that my work looks best when I start traditionally with my base sketch and then go to digital via a photo. I have several sketchbooks from late 2014 at the very earliest and I’ve found from looking at them that I’ve definitely improved. That’s why I don’t get rid of em

I definitely want to try that too. :D

Right now I usually make a really quick sketch to put down my ideas and check the composition, and somehow end up with something that's really close to that with some minor adjustments. For example here's a comparison between the sketch and the final linework from my neighborly guardian (The fence and road got moved to the background):

Hints why I never try on anything. Too much effort on things that get no good results. Why do I bother? lol
It shouldn't be about placing. Each of our events had literally hundreds of participants and we awarded staff favourites to very few. For example, Signature Stylings had 315 entries and only 11 people walked away with an animated shooting star collectible. That's 3.49% of entrants. In other events that percentage was even smaller. This is why we give participation prizes in the form of tickets too: so even if you don't come out on top you still get something and can redeem collectible prizes in the shop. Not placing doesn't mean you are a loser. If it did that means over 95% of the entrants were losers. With the exception of the four contests we massively prioritise participation over winning, so as far as we are concerned as long as you took the time to enter an event and were awarded tickets for your efforts then you deserve to be proud of what you have accomplished. :)

You guys did soooo well with this event, I love you guys 😭😭❤️❤️😭😭
 
I wonder if I should buy another Vesta for profit, or is it going to be lower in value if I sell the other one?

You don't understand though sir my entire life has been living in the shadows of people who are better than me. Heck even my sister who is younger than me is better at things. She posted some art yesterday today she has gained 200+ followers and about 500+ likes. Her youtube is growing fast meanwhile I can't even get my crap together. :^( I'm very competitive if I lose it hurts my self esteem a bit

@Milky star I bought you a vesta
ACK WAIT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TOO TAKE IT BACK >:^(
 
Only need 10

I love it. Fits you current colours so well, too!

-wall of text lol snip-

Even with the contests I think the rewards from entering were more than worth it! 10 tickets may not be much compared to a winning entry but it's still a lot of tickets for a single thing :)

Your sketches are miles better than mine lol:

A sketch is a sketch. Yours still looks like a very good start to a drawing! :D

I thought I wouldn’t be able to do much of anything in the fair at first but I’d say I found that I could do otherwise :3
