Artfight is done.

Because my holiday is coming up soon, I want there to be no backlog of art I need to do so once I check notifications tomorrow morning after waking up and there's no Attacks to Revenge against, I'm 100% done with Artfight for the year and announcing my closed status.

Right now, it's the evening before tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath for an Attack. I've been thinking of banning Mass Attacks because a lot of them are just a big blob of characters in an ambiguous space and one of the ones I got was point farming by putting it in the wrong category. I don't like them in my honest opinion. Once the event is over, I plan to do a gallery page showcasing my favourite Attacks for each year, maybe you can get your art in? Don't hold your breath though. ^w^

After finishing all of the cards, I started a sketchbook so I can get some quick drawings in. I was inspired by Pikarar after she did her sketchbook tour videos, showing what she's done and her sketch style is so retro, I wonder how much a sketch commission would be? I'd love to see one of my OCs in her 2000s style. If I ever make any significant progress, I'd make a gallery page showing all of my drawings. Unlike Pikarar's sketchbook, mine isn't bleed-proof so I can't do marker pen drawings unless I plan around that by voiding the page on the other side.

The goal is not only to draw more pictures of my OCs (it will be an OC only sketchbook) but to use up some of my stationary too as I have too many washi tapes (despite buying 40 of them recently but shhh!) especially washis of the same colour, I want some other styles as well. I plan to experiment with some scrapbooking elements and see how that looks. I can't do the colour block techniques Pikarar used in her work so I have to resort to other means. Plus, I can do other experimental ideas too.
