[sub]Hi ya'll! Hopefully this is the right place to post this... You can find examples of my art in my art shop here. I've been getting back into running my artshop here this year due to Covid unemployment but I've been pretty inactive for the past few months because of a death in the family. Subeta's always been a rock I return to even if I find it difficult to be social online and offline so I wanted to give back with an art giveaway/raffle situation.

I suspect I won't have the bandwidth to be able to draw for everyone so please talk about what you're looking forward to in 2021 or any resolutions you might have and I'll randomly select 3 posts (winners being the users that made those posts) at the end of January 1st (EST) with a random number generator, if there's enough people/posts.The more posts I guess the more likely you are to get picked? But I'm just hoping for healthy supportive discussion/posts and just the spreading of New Year Cheer, yay~[/sub]

[sub]Just some disclaimers... I reserve the right to turn down any requests from the winners for reasons such as (but not limited to) not being good at drawing it or being too complex. I'll definitely work with you to try and draw something you'll love though c:. Also, I'd love to have credit linked back to me.[/sub]

[sub]Hope everyone has fun and is looking forward to '21. I know I am haha (plz get me out of 2020). My art shop is still on hold due to other things rn but if you love my work and would like to support me, please consider joining my art ping group here :D for when I do reopen (probably mid-late January). Thanks everyone and happy new year c:[/sub]

[edit] [sub]changing the drawing date to Jan 3 just to give more time for others and also since I decided I should start work once the NY break is up instead of during it haha. thanks for understanding everyone :)[/sub]

Hello! I have several New Years resolutions because a year is a long time :) the first one is that I want to talk to my brother more. The pandemic has really shown me how important family is to me and we’re both a little shy so regular conversation is not natural for us, but he’s family, and I love him, so I want to be his friend as well as his sister. Next I want to find a hair care routine that really works for me. I’ve been ignoring my hair too long and I want to be able to wear it down in its natural curly state. I also want to learn more sign language. I’m hard of hearing so this one is practical, but also I just really want to learn more about sign and Deaf culture :) lastly I want to go back to school in the fall. That one is in the works, but it’ll be the first big life decision I’m making on my own, so it’ll take lots of courage to stick it out. It’ll be worth it in the end though!

What about you, Tiff?

thank you for doing this! your dachshund art made me remember mine ♡

My resolutions include to stabilize myself emotionally, this means: Not giving people with bad vibes at work my attention, and not let them make me sad w/their toxic words and actions.

Continue pushing forward on my mental health (therapy has been good this year!), I hope I can heal someday. It's a daily battle.

I want to get better at my hobbies (drawing and painting mainly), and have more energy to do them :( directly related to my second point.

Continue making loving memories with my boyfriend and my little sister (the two people I love the most).

Oh and buying my own apartment and home hopefully!

Your art is gorgeous! I am sorry about the death in your family. I hope 2021 will be a lot better than 2020 was for everyone.

My resolutions for the new year:

1. Stay as healthy as possible, including losing some weight
2. Get a good job, as I have been unemployed.
3. I also would like to start working on art again, if I can find the motivation to do so. ^^;

Happy New Year! :)

Thank you for the chance here, and happy new year. I'm sorry for your loss.

I commissioned you for an overlay for the memorial pet for the cat I lost earlier this year -- he was my ESA of nearly sixteen years -- and I'm struggling a lot with that still, myself. I'm hopeful for 2021 to help me find my way back from that and for the eventual opportunity to bring a new ESA cat into my life.

I'm also looking forward to delving into schooling once more. Partner and I are going to be moving out together as well.

I don't do resolutions, it feels like setting myself up to fail, but I do have good plans and things to work for.

Thanks for doing this! i've actually been creepin' your shop lately haha so looking forward to a chance of getting some amazing art. Been slow due to busy life lately. I'm also sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm looking forward to 2021 because I think it will definitely have more to look forward to than 2020. I actually received a promotion as of today (upon 1/1) and I think it'll really open my role at the company. I'm excited about the new changes to come for me and others at work. I'm also looking forward to hopefully getting the vaccine later this year so that we can visit family in other states. We've been sticking in and it has been a hard year (2020) but I think things will slowly get better once the presidential changes happen and the vaccine gets circulated.

I'm also really hoping that our housing market slows down some so we can consider getting a house with a little bit of land so we can do some veggie farming and maybe a pig or cow. Our market has been real bad from others moving up here which has made it difficult for others to also consider moving. >:

I hope you have much to look forward to this year as well! It's great to finally put 2020 behind us all and hope that 2021 will turn things around for everyone.

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope this year will treat you better <3

Thank you for doing this! Happy new year! My resolution for 2021 is to get back into the gym. I took a year off due to illness and covid (not together) but I recently purchased a full home gym (like with a full size lifting bar and a cage for squats). I'd like to lose the 10 pounds I gained last year and get back my muscle. It seems a little cliche that I want to get to the gym, but it's literally downstairs waiting for me to get off my butt.

Thank you for doing this, excited for a chance at an overlay or quad! ♥w♥

Have a lot of things to look forwards to in 2021, the biggest thing being my health treatments for my auto-immune disease. Been waiting over a year for them and only got started at the beginning of January. They say it'll start to really help/improve things over the next few months so I'm just psyched for things to just get better and my life to get back to a semblance of normalcy.

2020 was a horrible year other than my health, broke up with my longterm bf and probably was at the lowest point in my life. So just really looking to spend more me time and just be surrounded with a lot more positivity and just overall things that make me happy. So really, can only get better from here I say! ♥

My biggest resolution this year is once my health is under control to just work on my weight and get healthy again. All the meds and stuff I was on took a horrible toll on me and I just want to get back to a good healthy state. c:

Will be drawing numbers later tonight :) Hopefully if anyone wants to post in these last few hours you can get it in. Sorry, I haven't been able to get all my replies in to everyone just yet but I should be able to have the time to write proper responses soon. Hope everyone had a easy going transition into the New Year wooo~

[edit]

I just used random.org's random number generator first three generated numbers were... , , & .

[sub] : yes, oh man, I agree so much about finding a new urgent priority on the importance of family. I hope everything goes smoothly with your brother and school as well :) For me, I have similar resolutions of self-care, family, and learning. Trying to set up a structure for myself of relearning my first language and other hobbies now that I'm graduated and without a rigorous learning framework to motivate me to actively seek education. In terms of self-care, I have similar aspirations since my hair is very fragile and a weird texture for my family and dries wavy in comparison to my sister (we look very similar apparently). Maybe if you find any good products or ideas pass them my way even though our circumstances are different haha :)

: yay for sausage doggoes~~ but yes I hope therapy has been and continues to be great :D But yes, if people at work are terrible they don't deserve your mental labor or attention. I'm rooting for you :> . I relate so hard though on giving lots of love for my partner and my little sister, who are, coincidentally, my two favorite people in the world. Let me know if you ever want to talk about art <3

: Cheering you on for your health journey ~~! I also wanna watch my health and do what I think of as seemingly simple things such as going for regular walks and stretching everyday to prevent injury and increase my pretty poor flexibility. In terms of employment, you can do it :D Sending good thoughts and vibezzz your way on the job hunt. I know how brutal it can be as I was unemployed for the majority of 2020. If you ever want to talk about interview/career help or art you can always hit me up c:

: Ah hello! The photos you sent were too cute. I'm sorry for your loss. I can't wait to see what 2021 has in store for you in both healing and maybe meeting another cat on your journey. If you do ever end up picking up another ESA cat for the ride I'd love to see photos if possible haha as a fellow cat lover. And in terms of resolutions, yeah I agree. I feel like I disappoint myself every year with my broken promises to my own future but it's great to have that roadmap and plan in mind >:) Good luck on the moving and schooling though!

: Congratulations on the promotion ahhh, so excited for you. 2020 was indeed rough haha, but right, I'm looking forward to both the changes you mentioned and working towards getting our communities properly vaccinated. Social distancing has been absolutely brutal on the soul. I can imagine it's worse in the snowier bleaker states up north. That's a bummer to hear about the housing market. I'm personally really interested in small scale/personal farming and owning farm animals so I'd love to know more :o Here's to a better year for all of us :)

: Omg, I relate. 2020 was supposed to be the year that I finally got strong, carrying on the gym habit I finally picked up around the end of 2019. I was actually making real progress too but unfortunately once covid axed the gyms I wasn't as motivated to work out in the home and I've been losing the gains. I'm excited to hear about your at-home gym though. You can do it, I believe :D Right now for me, it's hard finding nice quiet exercises that are heavy enough since I live in an apartment, so I'm living vicariously through your home gym haha.

: Crossing my fingers for you and everything to go smoothly with those treatments. I'm so happy for you that it's going to be rolling along now! I'm sad to hear about your troubles and struggles in 2020. Even if I'm a distant stranger, if you ever need an open ear or shoulder my DMs and smails are always open :) I'm definitely rooting for you in your health journey, it'll be hard but great. 2021 is going to be your year! I can feel it.[/sub]

I'll def reach you about art sometime, I love the way you color so I'll probably ask for my doggie for my prize :)

Thank you! I posted a question on your thread but also wanted to respond to your ping here. (Sorry for double pings!)

Thank you! ;__; I've worked super hard the last few years and it's so nice to have it pay off. I completely agree. even being a shrew/liking my home time it is completely different when you're kinda forced not to (i don't see it as forced, really...but knowing it is for the greater good you keep distanced ext.) I'm hoping these vaccines do the job and mid-later this year we can get back to some type of normalcy. That's kinda what me and the hub want haha just maybe an acre of land for some simple gardening and chickens/ducks and maybe a pig or cow so we can still work (hopefully some from home).

Definitely hoping for all of us to move forward from this and have a better year! :>

Oh that's still a lovely offer! Thank you! I'll have to keep an eye out for when you re-open, I'd love to get an overlay!

Also thanks, just took a bit to get into a better headspace. Decided to cut out a lot of the negativity so I can get back on my feet as best I can. ♥

: for sure! I look forward to it :) You don't have to wait for the shop to reopen so you can just post in there whenever you need/want~

: Sounds good! I can ping you when I do reopen then and good luck with everything c: Happy new year yee~

: thank you for moving this thread to the right place haha, you can lock this whenever :D happy new year!
