It's just after the end of October, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you since August? (having just realised we haven't had a check-in post for a while, oops, sorry!)
Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in the past three months, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you looking at a bunch of end-of-year deadlines? 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. There's probably been a lot happening since it's been a while since we did this, so feel free just to give us the highlights!

Date: 2025-11-02 04:38 am (UTC)Apart from taking part in art challenges here at Drawesome, I did a few other works.
The main ones (all are SFW and G-rated), were:
just for a few hours, we was free (Sinners), as I loved the movie, and especially the scene I painted
Andromanche, walking (The Old Guard) for the 2025 TOG gif collaboration. It was fun to be part of a collaborative project.
Swimming With Moose (due South) for a Sunflower Auction prompt. I love moose!
Storm Off Grand Banks (Stargate Atlantis) old grizzled McShep for an SGA_Saturday prompt.
It'll start to get busy from now as I've taken on two seasonal exchanges that will require fics, possibly with some art as well. There's a Big Bang podfic going live in later Nov and I had fun with the cover art for it - thankfully that's all done and dusted now. And later in Nov I'll start working on my seasonal cards. I'd like to do something more abstract with watercolours this year if I can figure it out, rather than anything more designed or drawn. We'll see!

Date: 2025-11-02 09:50 am (UTC)Yes, definitely! :D
I think we can get started with a poll for participation this upcoming week, since international mail tends to take multiple weeks.

Date: 2025-11-02 10:07 am (UTC)So glad to hear we are doing the card exchange again and re NiF I am so happy the previous mod (who wasn't able to mod last year) came back and ensured the exchange is running again!

Date: 2025-11-02 09:47 am (UTC)But it was wonderful seeing all the works from other members of the community, posting their take on the prompts throughout the month. It was nice to be able to enjoy the challenge through you all, so thank you! <333

Date: 2025-11-02 04:45 pm (UTC)I participated in the 10 items or less AO3 gift exchange (for rarepairs with less than 10 works on the Archive). I drew Kim Hee Sung and Eugene Choi from the K-drama Mr. Sunshine as a couple, horseback riding. It was a challenge, as I had not drawn men in years (I usually draw women, furries, and the occassional mech), but it was an engaging one!
Horseback Riding by Pengilly
As for personal projects, I've been absurdly busy lately, but I have been recharging with a personal project — drawing Sonic and Zelda's wedding!
Sonic and Zelda's wedding (WIP)
In truth I see their relationship as more of a long-distance thing, but I thought it was too cute of a concept not to draw. It's inspired by a Twitter trend where people draw their OTPs in the same pose as in a piece of wedding clipart. (I am not on Twitter, but one artist I'm a fan of is, and she regularly draws her OTP with various poses from these trends. Her work that inspired it is linked in my post.)

Date: 2025-11-03 01:03 am (UTC)I did doodle something during a work meeting on Friday that I might end up posting.
I'm still feeling very drained after this last year.
