[goss]

Today's the last day of August, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in August, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Also, a special welcome to our newest members! Glad to have you be part of our community. :)

ANNOUNCEMENT: ART CHALLENGE EXTENSION

It's been another pretty busy month for many of us, so we're extending our current drawing challenge - Stained Glass - for another two weeks.

The new round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be on Sunday 15th September, 2024.

And then completely lost track of my wipbigbang sign-up. Which means I have to get into gear this weekend!

I‘m pretty glad I managed to finish one WIP from last year though, inspired by finally watching a show that had been on my list for a long time:

Desert Night

The same show inspired more pieces (plus I was home sick, so I had a little more time for art):
