HoneysuckleRose's Bulletins
Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the extended break between adopts.
I've been in an extremely bad place mentally the past four months and while I posted about my break on my main I should have thought to post about it here too :(
Things are looking up for me a bit- I finally got into therapy and my support system has grown around me in a time where I really needed them, something I'm forever thankful for. I'm also going to look into finally getting tested for chronic fatigue syndrome after almost 4 years of symptoms and potentially getting medicated for my anxiety disorder, which I think will really help me a lot. I won't go into the rest of the details here, but there is no need to worry about me at the moment and I'm FOREVER thankful to those who sent me wellwishes and helped my family and I pay for covid tests on my main when my parents got it again.
I wanted to let everybody know that for my own mental health I'm going to only be selling premade adopts for the foreseeable future so I don't strain myself or make myself panic as badly anymore. Having said that, I want to know what you all are looking for from my account/my adopts in the near future! I'm hoping that with this current upward spike in my health I'll be able to go back to making designs and adopts. Please feel free to ask/suggest/tell me anything you'd like down below and thank you again to everyone <3. Happy new years <3 <3 <3
Hey everyone!! With my summer break coming to an end and my commissions almost done, I thought it would be fun for us all to close out the season by making a fantroll together!
I was looking for character making sheet or something but decided it would be more fun to try out the Tumblr Poll Feature! The troll we make will get to be sort of a free use troll for everyone in the adopt community! Put that thang in a situation! If you want to vote, here are links all 12 categories!
At the end, I'll post the final result and we'll all suggest names/do a final vote for that! If you don't have a tumblr and want to vote, let me know and I'll just add your votes at the end! :)
Have fun I can't wait to see if they make sense or if they're a total mess!!!
POLLS:
Hello everyone!!
Every year my mom helps run a backpack drive for the children at our local homeless shelter and this year has been our worst year for donations!
I know that everyone is struggling right now but if anyone is willing to donate even a bit I would be super grateful! We don't have an official website but I figure
Backpacks are about $14, and filling one with the most basic supplies is about $6-10, but even just a bit helps! If you want to donate let me know and I'll send you my PayPal link
At the end of the drive I'll post a picture of all the backpacks we got, regardless of how much is donated here! Thank you all for reading <3
Running a bit low on victims, if anyone wants to offer themselves up for attack 👀👀👀 LMK Below!
Hey Everyone! Artfight is just around the corner, and while I'll probably keep moving things around until July (so don't be surprised if characters are appearing and disappearing like crazy) I wanted to make sure I let everyone know I'm participating full time again this year!!
Click on the Card and you'll be sent straight to my page! 💪
Want to make sure I get to you? Just fill out this form with your username and which of your characters you most want art of!
Happy Hunting >:3!!

ꕥ Art Fight Tips and Reminders ꕥ
Theme do you HOPE they pick of the two finalists
Taken from Sunstone-Adopts on DA! :)
I posted these on my main last year but I figure more people follow me here so it might be better here <3 Artfight is coming up and I'm so excited! Make sure you start preparing early so people can attack you the second it starts ;)
Always know your limits! You can get carpal tunnel faster than you think, make sure to take breaks in between each drawing!
Hand exercises are key to keeping your wrist from hurting. My favorite is this stretch
-extend your arm with your palm facing up
-use your free hand to gently push your fingers backwards towards you
-hold for a few seconds
-flip your hand so your fingers are pointing up, palm facing away
-gently push fingers towards you again
-hold
Hoping to get a lot of art of a specific character? If your oc is in a group or fandom then attack other characters in the same group/fandom! People are more likely to attack back with a oc of that group
People who get more attacks than what they revenge are less likely to attack back, its hard to do 50 revenges at once! Try looking around for other artists who dont get attacked frequently, it'll brighten their day! (Or do both )
Remember art fight is supposed to be fun! If you start feeling stressed or overwhelmed go outside for a bit and take a break, nobody expects you to pump out art like a machine
Want a bunch of points cheap, easy, and fast? Heres some art pieces I do for easy points that still look nice for the receiver!
-Headshot with minimum shading and blinking animation
-Simple Character with minimum shading (trust me they're really fun to draw!)
-Pictures with simple background animations (shooting stars, twinkling lights, glitter, blink, and whatever else you feel. Its real easy just draw a few dots and bam stars)
-Game style icons! Dont use a base but you can find a easy to replicate style in a game and just redraw a character with the same style! Those icons are made to be easy to make and can take minutes! (Splatoon icons, Hiveswap trial, and pokemon shuffle are good examples!)
ALWAYS thank someone when they attack you!! It hurts to spend hours drawing something and get no response :(
Cannon characters are banned BUT if you really wanna draw one with a oc, you can post a copy with only the oc and then dm the oc owner the full piece! Its not technically breaking the rules its just censorship
Always ALWAYS read someones warnings, description, bio, etc before attacking. You never know if they cannot attack back, are playing this year, or if they have things they dislike. If you want to draw nsfw or gore make sure theyre ok with it!!
Always be nice and play fair!
Hello Everyone!
I've just wrapped up work on the fantroll adopts that will be going up on the 13th for our favorite homestuck holiday, haha!
There will be 12, the full hem spectrum done! I wanted to ask everyone around what kind of pricing would be fair for them? Some points;
- Each Troll has been done on my fullbody base
- True to form you get both lineart and clean full colored adopts- I've included colored line art for all of these.
- Each troll has their base form and a second alternate form, ranging from simple changes to entire separate forms and outfits that help set up fun story ideas for you!
- Each of these took me between 2-4 hours, but I feel like charging something like $15 per hour would make these inaccessible? (my fault for getting too excited working on them)
- Debating going auction style for them with a base price but I know money has been tight and I want all of these guys to go to a good home who will use them :(
- Heres an example of something that you might expect with these featuring my fantroll Selbis done about a year ago! SHE IS NOT FOR SALE! Let me know what you think would be fair?

QUICK ADOPT POLL
Which Style?
I'm going to make some adopts for 4/13 but would like some input on what style you would all like them in more!
I'm going to do a second poll in 2 days to decide a theme as well, so keep an eye out!! ^^
Please feel free to suggest themes below as well!
Note: Style WILL effect how many/what quality they will be. I feel like it will go slightly like this;
Quality <-- Fullbody (4-6), Bobble, Lil Guyz, Paper Dollz (16-24) --> Quantity
Hey everyone! I'm looking to spend a little bit of Christmas cash on some fantrolls/fankids that maybe some people no longer want? Also Willing to do designs/art trades! Lmk if you have any kiddos you're willing (or desperate) to part with and I'll see if I have space for them somewhere ^^!
