SO. Hear me out. I thought of ending the Monthly Raffles challenge with a bang and getting into the holiday spirit with some new adoptables and stuff. But for one person like me who also has life to deal with? 

Overwhelming at best, but I have thought of something probably pretty cool that we might be able to do-

Collab raffle designs / adoptables!

If YOU are interested in making collab adoptables / raffle designs with me themed around the holidays and seasons, vote on the poll , comment down below you're favorite season to make a design for, if you can work with moodboards I make, and other things you want me to know! 

I will choose those I want to collab with via DMS, since I want the raffles especially to be a surprise when it comes to how many and what the appearances will be! <3

I will likely ask you to do sketching and lineart, and I do coloring / BG / shading if applicable! We can discuss though

*Poll is not Anon so I know who is who wants to do which option, I will not choose all those show interest in a collab with me. Please do NOT harass me if you do not get picked, I pick based on a multitude of factors. Harrassment will get you blocked, thank you!

EDIT: JUST REALIZED I DID NOT CLARIFY ON IF YOU NEED TO DRAW HUMANS / HUMANOIDS OR NOT-

 If you can draw / work with human / humanoids, I would likely have you do sketch / lineart , but I might also do sketch / lineart myself!

If you cannot draw / work with human / humanoids , I will likely do coloring and not do any sketch / lineart  since I am not the best with anthro / furry designs but is open to working with anthro / furry designers!

Will be choosing by this week! But will keep this as a list of any future people to work with for collabs! <3

It is also heavily recommended that you have Discord so communicating can be much easier than on TH or Twitter DMS, and works with Clip Studio Paint (same program as me) ! These two factors can possibly greatly increase you're chances of being selected! <3

Well. It was good while it lasted, but now my TH Premium is officially dead once again-

 It feels weird to have my TH be back to the default theme with no more CSS to customize it LOL-

Well until I can get TH Premium again, it shall be like this! :")

"Victory can you stop with the polls-" No, if you sub and activate Bulletins this is what you get!-

Venting a bit under spoilers:

Anyways- For December I am at a bit of a loss. It would technically be the end of the Monthly Raffles (right on it's 1 year anniversary) and I am thinking of doing something special. Maybe the character will have a fully shaded and unshaded ref, maybe it will have extra art- OR EVEN I might add an extra surprise in there for the holiday spirit-

But then I am afraid I will put too much effort into it and then it will just flop like all my other Monthly Raffles since January, and such effort will be for barely anything. I do want to give back for the holiday spirit such as art commission discounts, maybe opening writing commissions and having a special Monthly Raffle to finally end of the challenge but-

Should I even do it? Or should I just not do it and end the Monthly Raffles right on November and not do anything for December. I am not too sure... I do enjoy making people happy with whatever free stuff via raffles, freebies, etc I make for them but it's starting to really take a toll that keeps on coming.

But at the same time I do want to host something for the holidays since I probably won't be joining any secret santas nor hosting one due to being busy this winter break.

Anyways enough rambling, if you want the simple way to give you're opinion is of course via the anon poll. But of course feel free to comment!

So I am wondering if anyone genuinely wants to be added onto pinglists for each of the following categories. 

I find it probably simpler to simply give people the often to vote to opt in if they want to be added to a pinglist for a specific thing I offer- I do have a pinglist set for raffles, but figured it wouldn't hurt to have a pinglist for other categories as well.

So simply vote if you want to be added to a pinglist for a specific category! No need to comment unless you choose the Multiple Option!

.

CATEGORIES:

Art Commissions: Get pinged for my art commissions. This can be whenever a new option (PWYW or set price) opens , I got a event for art commissions going on (such as a discount deal, Buy One Get Something Free, etc!) , or maybe other stuff when it comes to my art comms- 

You can always find things about my art commissions via the  Toyhouse Forum Thread  or my art website for more information!

Writing Commissions: Get pinged for my writing commissions right when they open.  This would not be much different than my art commissions, but I am trying to build up a writing example portfolio and determine pricing even though it will start off as PWYW- WIP for now, will link the thread once it is set up! 

Art / Premade / Custom Design Raffle: Get pinged the moment an art / premade / custom design raffle is up and running on my TH! Simple as that, each are separate options-

Adoptable Pinglist: Get pinged for when I post a new adoptable OC / design. Might include when existing adoptables are discounted? Not too sure-

.

Poll is not anon so I can add people to the pinglist and know their usernames- Thank you so much! :D

All choices are in the thread-

 I am wondering what adoptable purchase method most people prefer when it comes to my designs and adoptables specifically! 

Please consider voting in the poll as I am trying to decide what people like best when it comes to purchasing adoptable designs- Feel free to comment as well!

You can see my Adoptable designs here and my Designs Tab if it might help with you're decision!

(Poll is anon!)

Most probably know I am a die hard Twitter main @VictoryDraws -

But recently due to how in a way “unstable” Twitter is getting , I figured I should try other social medias just in case the bird app actually goes to shit-

So I am trying out two new socials I have been wanting to try for a good long while- Artfol and Newgrounds!

You can check me out via the links below! Thank you, really appreciate your support if you do!

Not sure how active I will be but I will try my best! :D (And definitely if you have Artfol or Newgrounds, let me know your user and I will definitely follow back!)

Also for the ANON poll purposes, I present this image of I don’t know what this is but a friend of my mom gave this to us for free since we buy her produce- 

EDIT: If you voted "Yes" on the poll then PLEASE TELL THE NAME OF THIS WEIRD THING- Me and my family have been debating about this for the past few hours after we got it and I NEED TO KNOW- Thank you (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Seems like Christmas hype is already coming up and some artists are having a discount for their commissions for the holidays-

I am wondering if I should do a discount event to potentially get more clients this holidays? I have some potential amount ideas, so the poll is mostly about if you want a discount event for my commissions:

(For reference all discount amounts are based on my most expensive commission option which starts at $75 , Option 5: Custom Character Reference (With Bust Up + Thigh Up) )

50% - : $75 -> $37.50

45% - : $75 -> $41.25

25% - : $75 -> $56.25

15% - : $75 -> $63.75

(DISCLAIMER: This is for my Set Price Art Commissions (ALL OPTIONS 1-9) only. The discounts will stack with the discount options I already have. (So if it’s a 50% discount going on and you are ordering as a first time commissioner, that’s a total of a 75% discount. First time commissioners get 25% off their order!

I am not sure about my PWYW art commission options and my writing commissions that are also PWYW, setting that up- Feel free to let me know of any ideas!)

(POLL IS ANON- Commenting about your thoughts is encouraged though!)

My last Bulletin was me being honest, but also putting myself down. And maybe driving away people, and I need to clarify on what I meant in that very poll asking if I should open PWYW writing commissions.

For the longest time now I always have been portraying myself as the “weird anime artist who can’t and will not write for others especially not for commissions, only doing art” . I admit perhaps I was foolish to portray myself as such a person all these years.

It seems like I never knew I had a potential for writing of all things. I always seemed to focus on my artistic and visual art abilities , creative writing and writing just came as someone I (had?) to do if I wanted to develop OCS and stories, and it came as some sort of talent I never thought; or knew I had.

Nowadays I want to break away from this very persona I have portrayed myself as. 

I am not just an weird anime artist who only does art for others, but an artist and writer who is willing to practice both art and writing and do such things for others.

That’s the simplest way I am putting this. This may seem sudden, perhaps even fake. But I am wanting to branch out , to do other things that are not just art and art commissions.

 The reason I want to start doing writing commissions is not just to try and find a way around the oversaturated art and adoptable market, but to practice my writing skills.

I have gained enough confidence and skill to possibly start doing writing comms, and I want to do them. I am wanting to see if others might be interested in my writing, rather than just my art (which will never go away, but writing will be a possible new service I will be offering)

This is all I got to say. Enough of my rambling, I hope you all get the point. Thank you for reading!

(Seems like it’s better to make the polls anonymous- So reposted this Bulletin with an anon poll!)

I thank those who comment and praise my writing skills, first of all- It makes me happy to hear that!

But it seems like most of these days most aren’t interested in my art when it comes to commissions,,, I have a lot of artists I want to commission and support via vouchering but it seems like my art and adoptables aren’t catching anyones interests in the oversaturated market-

SO I am wondering if I should do writing commissions? I might be able to write OC bios, Ship pieces, stories, etc.

I am not that confident in my writing as to my art, ever. But I might consider opening PWYW writing commissions if that might interest anyone?

The key is that they will be experimental, and of course PWYW in price. Writing doesn’t require a drawing tablet and I generally have my phone / PC and Google Docs with me almost all the time, so TAT will probably be quick! I have a bit of a idea of how writing trades work (done a few and is commissioning a writing piece by my amazing friend Auralina33 , shout-out to you my friend! NOW GO CHECK HER OUT SHES AN AMAZING WRITER-)

Please vote in the poll if you are interested, every vote counts! Not anonymous, but it does really help. I might consider doing writing comms, truly!

For future adoptables, I might want to do auctions rather than a set payment for adoptables in the future. I can also draw anthro designs so that is also a plus- 

But I wonder, what are YOU'RE favorite adoptable design themes? 

This is totally not being asked because I struggle to sell my adoptables a lot , okay maybe it is, but also I am genuinely curious

There is no poll this time. For purposes of possibly making future designs and out of mere curiosity, I wonder what are YOU'RE favorite design themes / aspects (sub or not, you just got to see this Bulletin) . 

Please comment a list of you're favorite design themes that YOU would be willing to pay money for! Simple as that, list as many as you want, you are basically giving me future prompt ideas!

Wishlist links are also acceptable but not preferred! Feel free to link them though-
