Legit can't get a shiny artwork from you since I don't have a DA account, but I'm sure I can draw all these prompts anyway! :D

2025 is OUR YEAR, RAYFANS

#yearofrayman2025

With Rayman’s big 30th birthday happening this year I wanted to hit the ground running and try and promote some art inspiration. I made this year long prompt list for people to play with, mostly for the Glade of Dreams club I admin for on deviantART. But I wanted to share it with all my lovely fellow fans here too if anyone wants to play with it!

I kept the prompts pretty vague to allow for people to do whatever they want with them, and stretched them out over a year so no one has to rush. Fancharacters, fanfics, comics, crafts, whatever you think might fit the prompt is welcome! Any game, fan game, tv series, creepypasta and parody content related to Rayman is welcome! Follow as many or as few of the prompts as you wish! This is just to give people a little inspiration and draw fans together with some unified art goals.

Because if we don’t celebrate our favourite bean on his big birthday, who will? 😀

Bonus: if you are on DA and you are a member of the glade of dreams club you have the chance of winning a piece of free art from me if you make art based on these prompts ;). Check out the latest journal on the club page to see how you can enter!

Right on time to celebrate the Hazbin Hotel season 3 & 4 announcement!!! I asked for some wholesome doodle prompts from folks on Twitter! I also got "solving puzzles" as a part of the suggestions! Notice the pieces that no longer fit. 🥲 Well, this was fun! Now I'm wondering if I should do the same for Tumblr next time? 😊 For now, pls enjoy the bonding of (current, past, & future) residents of the hotel being super adorable together as I disappear into the void. C'ya!

to end off inktobertale2024! Every single piece I did this month! I will admit I struggled with some prompts, or skipped a few, but to finish two Inktober prompts in a month I’m so very happy! Ink has to be one of my favorite aus in utmv and I’m so happy to have finally participated in the inktober for him aaa thank you so much for all the kind words to all these artworks!

All credit of course goes to comyet the creator of the prompt and character! An amazing artist who does so much cool art and characters!

I’ll be posting the remaining inktober prompts this week but here for now the main ones!

Yeehawgust 2024: Greener Pastures

Saddle up, folks! We’ve got greener pastures on the horizon, because it’s time for Yeehawgust’s 6th year this August!

Yeehawgust features daily art prompts as well as alternative weekly prompts, for those of us who are a bit slower on the draw. Don’t draw at all? No problem! Submit any art at all, be it illustration, comics, writing, fanfiction, photography, embroidery, sculpture, music, or whatever other creative endeavors you might enjoy. All skill levels are welcome, and this can be a great opportunity to experiment with new styles and techniques. 

Maybe you love media like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas, or classic westerns like The Magnificent Seven. You might enjoy the genre, and you’re looking for a chance to make a cowboy AU and put your OCs in chaps and your blorbos in a Stetson. Heck, maybe you just really want to draw horses. Whatever your reason, you’re welcome to join in, pardner!

Tag your work with #Yeehawgust and follow along here on the Yeehawgust blog. If you include any external links or directly tag another Tumblr user in your post (which may impact search visibility), make sure to also tag this blog or contact the mod directly so your work will get reblogged! 

Check out the “Reblogging Policy and Q&A” linked on the blog for more info about Yeehawgust. The event is also Yeehawgust on Twitter, YeehawgustPrompts over on Instagram, and now yeehawgust.bsky.social over on Bluesky... but Tumblr is where we hang our hat at the end of the day. 

And remember, y’all: be rootin’, tootin’, shootin’, and most importantly, be kind.

Monstober 2024

Monster-Enthusiasts, Monster-Lovers, and Monster-Fucker, I call upon thee! This upcoming October is going to be spooky!

It's time for a whole month of delicious monster content! Whether you want them to stalk, to hunt, or to devour your little protagonists (mind you, the monsters are the real protagonists of the story, hehe), I want to see a month dedicated to the beauty of the Ugly and Horrible! All things monster are welcome—art, writing, any kind of showcasing a monster! No matter how cruel or how obscene you like it—now's the time to show it off! ♥

I have prepared a list of monsters & prompts for your guidance, however, if you'd rather do a different monster or a different prompt, that is totally fine! If you prefer to stay private and not have your post reblogged to this blog, that is totally alright, too! This is merely for fun and giggles, and I welcome everyone who wants to challenge themselves this upcoming October to use this list if they want!

How to participate in my Monstober:

- Starting October 1st create something with the monster or prompt of the day! That is all you have to do.

You don't have to do all days or even in chronological order. Feel free to alter the prompts as needed. Your monsters do not have to match the usual descriptions of their kind! Post whenever and whatever you like as long as it is still connected to monsters!

- If you want your entry to be reblogged: @ me yandere-sins in your post, don't forget to put content warnings if any apply (especially Violence & Sexual Content—however, those are very welcome!), and put long texts (once they reach 3k words) under a read more! I'll reblog the posts as soon as I see and have the time to get to them!
