blog o( ❛ᴗ❛ )o

thanks for visiting my blog! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_

help yourself to my highly inconsistent, (not so) wide selection of posts, thoughts, updates, reviews, rambles, dreams, tutorials, media and videos, all cluttered onto a webpage with vague theming attached

i may talk about more serious topics here and there but my site will never be used for venting or traumadumping, and any sensitive content will be marked clearly at the top of the page. also, i kind of use my status.cafe account as a microblog, so feel free to browse that too if you're interested :)

04/02/2025 — My site was created on the 4th of February, 2024. The experience of slowly crafting my own corner of the net has been a true joy, and to commemorate this special day I want to celebrate by giving back to the community that has made this journey so wonderful for me!

I’m gonna be holding an art raffle (with a twist) open to anyone with a personal website, which includes Neocities, Nekoweb, other hosting services or self-hosted sites! You don’t need a clean or elaborate site to enter, even just one page with an introduction is enough.

The 3 winners will be randomly selected to win a halfbody of a character of their choosing, with a stylized background (prize details and examples below). To enter, follow these instructions:

1. Open the google forms link for entry (click here)
2. Enter your name, and a link to your site
3. Add a link to 1 - 3 of your favourite indie websites, Neocities or other, and write a short message explaining why they’re your favourite (it can be as short as “I love their photography” or it can be a whole paragraph)
4. Let me know how best to contact you if you win - discord, email etc.
5. Choose the degree of anonymity you’d like in the final blog post and send!

The idea with this whole event is that not only will some people get free art, but after the winners are drawn, I’ll publish a list of all the favourite sites submitted and what people liked about them in a blog post, and a bunch of people will get to discover new sites and have their own discovered. This way it’s not just fun for the winners, but for the whole community, even for those who missed it or didn’t enter! divider

The 3 winners will be announced on March 4th and their names (if chosen to be published) will be at the top of the blog post, along with the rest of the results. Examples of halfbodies with stylized backgrounds here:

In terms of the character, anything goes - it can be your OC, a friend’s OC or just a character you’re a fan of. I’m happy to draw humans, monsters, long or short muzzle anthros, ferals, robots, old men, young women, large build, small build, it’s all good! I can try real people but please understand the extra challenge it presents for the artist and that it may take a little longer :) Some more examples of my art here - see my gallery for my full portfolio:

The stuff that’s a no-go is limited to nsfw, hard gore and typical hateful stuff. Sexy vibes and a little blood or angst is okay. I’ll do my best to convey the personality of your character and as always, I’ll give it my all! Turnaround can vary from 5 days to 2 weeks from the date I start work on your art :) divider

Sharing this post is not necessary but of course the more people that participate the better the final result will be :) Thanks so much for your time and look forward to the results on March 4th!
