For a few years now I have gone by the username "VictoryDrawsManga" as you all may know, but since my Discord account got hacked, the main person who was the inspiration behind my username rebranded completely, and I just feel like the username doesn't suit me (I don't really draw "manga" actually...)

So for my comeback era (I am coming back from (art posting) hiatus on my Twitter AND my Bluesky (fun fact: BLUESKY IS OPEN TO EVERYONE! Anyone can now join, no need for codes anymore so go join!) , I am going to be rebranding into a new username, it's not that big of a change but I feel like I need to go through an entire rebrand. 

But bearing good news, I GOT MY ENTIRE COMMISSION + OWED ART QUEUE FINISHED, so that is also a reason why I am considering a rebrand (will post a Bulletin + thread on my Twitter about where I am going with comms soon) ! Want to start off on a new sort of foot in my art journey as I figure out how to navigate commissions better, work on my fanseries stuff (especially PBFP) & more stuff! 

2024 may have started off pretty weird (January started off good, turned shitty at the end, February turned to shit with school and the Discord hacking debacle going on ) but I want to make this a good year.

(And also even though I am rebranding, I am still called Victory, still is a demigirl and my pronouns being She/They/Xe , my username is mostly remaining the same only I am taking out the "manga" part LOL)

Anyways enough rambling, I have two ideas for the new username I want to go by, but which one should I pick? Let me know in the (anon) poll , thank you! <3

I got a few DMS about this and I am going to address this as right now:

Yes, my account VictoryDrawsManga got hacked as I fell for a scam.

Not telling the full story as I don’t have the energy to do so, but yes I fell for a common scam & now my account is hacked. I am currently in the process of contacting Discord Support to try and get my account back, I will update if my account is back.

PLEASE IGNORE ANY MESSAGES FROM MY ACCOUNT VICTORYDRAWSMANGA, DO NOT FALL FOR THE SCAM LIKE I DID, IGNORE IT ALL UNTIL I AM SURE MY ACCOUNT IS BACK TO ME!

Here’s a great video a mutual sent me on Twitter that explains how this scam works, this is what happened to me word for word, event for event, please give it a watch so you don’t fall for it like me: https://youtu.be/10A5qpmC6pE?si=Njp5eGVS8Mr9eJs7

However if you want to contact me on Discord (or if all goes to shit & I cannot get back my OG account) , you can add me on my new backup / alt account of sorts, username is:

victorydrawsstuff 

Oh hey it's me- Victory, I admit I am not that alive on Toyhou.se anymore school and me trying to finish the last of my owed art is killing me and my energy for real /lh /hj but I decided to give away Osamu as a 24 HR FTE Raffle to try and promote my OCS still collecting dust in my Trade / Sale Folder and test something , so check the raffle out below!

You got 24 HRS to join so good luck! <3

Speaking of OCS in my Trade / Sale folder , I am still keeping them at the discounted prices / bundle prices until March 2024 (my birthday month) - All of these OCS need new homes, I feel bad seeing them collect dust for various reasons that I don't want to get into, I would really appreciate it if you can get them off my hands!

(Am open to haggling / doing money and art mixed offers / art offers only for OCS with no set prices / worth) ! Please DM me, comment on the character, whatever if you are interested in a OC or a bundle!

And finally to end off this Bulletin, once I get my final commission finished I will make a Bulletin detailing the future status of my commissions and what the fuck is happening with that, and where I am going from here on out! Thank you for you're support as always!

And also I got into the game Love and Deepspace if you havent noticed, yeah I am playing the game in a strange way but yes I will edit this with my info so you can Friend me in game, I play on America server btw, lets GOOO

2024 started off with me having an idea for a YCH (Your Character Here) based on Honkai Star Rail's "Rare Creations" , or for simplication purposes called "cat cakes" , cute creatures created by Ruan Mei (beloved) for the event Critter Pick (more info can be found in this article that also displays all the cats)

These cute cats with a cake like shell have become popular in the HSR fandom + I have seen fan edits for other characters (as most of the cats are based off canon characters) + for peoples Vtuber OCS / OCS in general so I decided why not perhaps possibly make a YCH for these?

The YCH will be drawn in my style, it's not meant to replicate the official Honkai Star Rail style as I want to try doing my first YCH with my own artstyle.

My idea for the YCH is explained below in the image, but going to type out some stuff I couldn't fit into the draft below as well for clarification:

• THINGS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: Personal Usage (Commercial Usage must be discussed + negotiated a fee with me) , The YCH itself (consisting of the custom cat design tailored to be based on the clients OC / canon character wanted , circles with patterns inside BG , and the box the cat will be on. ) , A custom made logo based on the cat design (FOR AN ADDITIONAL PRICE- There will be two tiers, one tier including just the YCH, another with the logo. You can find my logo design examples here , they will likely be of the same quality!)
• THINGS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: Commercial usage.
• Slight adjustments such as giving the cat dull eyes like Sesame Cake Cat (Blade Cat) , giving the cat a different expression, changing the circles into another shape such as squares or triangles, giving the box a different color are FREE.
• Major adjustments like changing the cats posing, changing the BG into a completely different design , giving the box the cats will be on extra details, and making a custom cat based on a OC with no references / word only references will incur a negotiable fee.

I am not sure when I will open slots for these, but it will only happen if there is interest for these- If there is interest I will refine this later + perhaps do a raffle to make examples? Or offer them as freebies in the Art Freebies forum to gain OCS to make into these cake cats as examples-

Please let me know what price you would pay for each Tier (including for the YCH with and without a logo , the YCH with a logo is meant to be a sort of package deal.) via a comment (BE HONEST) , thank you so much!

It's officially the first few days into 2024 so happy new year everyone (and to those who celebrate, happy upcoming Lunar New Year <3) ! 

I first want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 700+ SUBS! Great way to end off 2023 and start the year 2024 , I truly appreciate all of yall's support and I hope you will all continue to follow me on my art journey as this year I even have a motto for 2024 - 2024 being the year I slay and cook!

For 2024 here are my plans:

• Finish my entire current commission queue - I want to finish off all leftover commissions I have not completed (thank you so much clients for you're patience ;;) and I do have an actual YCH idea (REAL) + I will be keeping meme commissions open, but going to try and make a push finishing current comms in my queue + owed art and step back from offering previous options except for meme / shitpost commissions + Eclipse commissions!

• After owed art is finish- PRIORITIZE PERSONAL PROJECTS THIS YEAR! I said I would do this in 2023 but I failed, miserably- This means I am going to work on projects like Past Blazes Future Path, Generation Protostar and more (have been doing my Genshin Impact RP with my bestie and multiverse stuff, so expect me to get back on my OC design game!) !  This year is going to be the year I really try to focus on myself + my personal projects! And also revamp my TH character profile + more coding wise, set up on https://artistree.io/ (For future official commissions and stuff) and lots more!

• As thank you for 700+ subs (+ also taking a small break before I focus on owed art- Back from my vacation in Chicago has me exhausted (but happy) + school is back- My Meme / Shitpost Art Raffle HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO END ON JANUARY 5TH! You got more time to join! <3

• My Twitter / X (https://twitter.com/VictoryDraws) hiatus will end this year... I am not sure exactly when, but it will be right after I clear my owed art queue, I am sure of that! And it should be before March 2024, my birthday month, PBFP's anniversary month, much is happening-

I think that is all I have to say- Hope you all are having a great day / evening / night and wishing you all an amazing start for 2024! :D

(+ Anon Poll For Fun)

That’s it thats this Bulletin I swear I am not just a Ruan Mei simp (even though Ruan Mei is so pretty and hot) I also needed a better Ice character but she is HOME & my life is complete LETS GOOOOOOO

As it's Christmas time and I really do want to give a gift but alas I have no good ideas as to what to give + I am on my vacation to Chicago starting tomorrow until January 2nd (I will likely be unable to draw / if I can draw , it will be very slow progress) - 

I decided what better thing to do than to literally host a meme / shitpost art raffle? Yeah, I am doing it!

I GOT NO BETTER IDEAS I AM SORRY-

Just fave + subscribe / be a subscriber to enter (+ extra entry opportunities are here!) !

Link is here to join the raffle! <3

Hope you all had a great Christmas / holidays and that you all have a happy new year in 2024! :D

I just want to make this short and sweet- It's officially Christmas day where I am at in CST time , so I just want to say Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you all have great times with you're loved ones, you get gifts and good things , you just have a great Christmas celebration to end off the year that is 2023!

To those who don't celebrate, happy holidays, have a great day / evening / night! <3

I really thank you guys for you're support and love, for all the messages left on my Color My Tree (I am having a great time reading all of you're messages <3) and just for how amazing you guys are- 

YOU are all the amazing ones, if it wasn't for YOU, I don't think I could have made it this far with my projects, my art, just me existing here! Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and have a great amazing new year everyone! 

I truly wish you all the best, thank you all again for you're support and I hope to give you all the love back when I can! <3

My Meme / Shitpost Commissions have returned for Cycle 2! 10 Slots are open once again (at the time of typing this- 8 Slots are left!) 

Price is now $5 USD per meme / shitpost + applicable fees have changed + new ones have been added - Still hoping that despite the price increases / changes that all slots can be taken like last time! 

(NOTE: Old / Returning clients for meme / shitpost commissions can order for the original $3 USD per meme / shitpost & have reduced prices for applicable fees!)

Order / Take a slot via DMing me (here or on my Discord: victorydrawsmanga) or commenting on the thread / Ad ! <3

.

On another note- From December 27th 2023 -> January 2nd 2024 , I am going on vacation with my family to Chicago! This means I am likely unable to work on any art, including commissions (I am not sure if I can bring my PC + tablet with me) , so expect me to get back to work January 3rd 2024 (despite that being the day I am back to school-) !

Before then I will try my best to get some commissions done before I go on vacation, but it's been kind of hard since I have been feeling demotivated + generally anxious and shitty... But as always feel free to check my Trello / and do not hesitate to DM me for progress checks! 

(To all clients still waiting on comms: I am sorry for taking so long, 2023 still is a dumpster fire year that I have given up on :"/)

.

+ Happy holidays, Merry Christmas (Eve) , hope you all have a great day / night!

(NOTE FOR ANON POLL: Title doesn't do it justice but I am asking, right now in you're time- Would it be Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for you (or you don't celebrate at all) ? )

Sorry for my whole bunch of Bulletins to anyone who subs to me & has notifications for Bulletins it just do be like that sometimes-

1. NAVIA CAME HOME I GOT NAVIA! GIRLBOSS SLAY QUEEN IS HOME + SHE LITERALLY FITS INTO MY TEAM SO WELL I LOVE HER ALREADY <333

Despite Hoyoverse deciding it will be very silly and goofy to bully me by making me lose 50 / 50 to Dehya of all characters (& despite getting a good amount of Navia funds I had to spend a bit more but luckily not too much to get Navia so HAH HOYOVERSE YOU CAN'T BULLY ME NOW) ! 

Thank you everyone for you're support for my comms + to those who have adopted old characters of mine in my Sales / Trade folder! I truly always appreciate all of yall's support! <333 

2. Speaking of my Sales / Trade folder now on my quest to save for Ruan Mei my beloved hot women in Honkai Star Rail - I have reduced the price of my characters WITH worths down to 50% or more and my bundle deals for characters are at their lowest prices yet! 

I seriously am trying to get ALL characters from this folder out of here, they truly need new homes ASAP, tired of seeing them sitting there in my folder ;;

If you want to buy a bundle please let me know when offering for a character!

Bundle Deals I Have Ongoing:

CAN CONSIDER (not official bundle): Huo Shui ($55) (worth $110) + Qiang Kun ($30) (worth $75) for $80 USD

Andrea + Mineta + Cecilia for $35 USD 

Nullus +  Haven + Cheng Fu + Fibonacci (Bonacci) + Ranger for $20 USD 

I can also consider to sell my ENTIRE TRADE / SALE FOLDER CHARACTERS AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY FOR $150 USD (minimum) OR MORE. 

If any of this interests you feel free to DM me ! Payment is via Paypal (direct link OR invoices (preferred) only, thank you so much!

3. I AM FREE FROM THE HORRORS THAT ARE FINALS + IS ON WINTER BREAK! I SURVIVED (with okay grades? We don't talk about my math final I hate math ) ! 

Now that I am on winter break and before my family ends up going on our vacation (once we decide where to go, incredibly indecisive this year) , I will try my best to work on my commission queue, reopen meme / shitpost commissions and clear my queue entirely! <3

As always clients can always check their commission progress via my Trello or just DM me to check in on progress (I am very active here and on my Discord (Username: victorydrawsmanga) , I will likely respond soon) , don't be afraid to reach out to me! 

Thanks for reading this huge update, hope you all will be having a great December, merry early Christmas / Xmas, happy holidays!
