Thank you so much @ceilingcow! This is my first Yeehawgust that I’ve participated in, even though I’ve been wanting to do this event for years! However, when 2024 came along I decided that this was the year I’d grab my hat and pull on my boots. I had so much fun just being creative and indulging myself in all the yeehaw! Huge shoutouts to the organizers for always keeping things positive and the amazing creators I discovered through this event!

I want to send a big ol' "thank you, pardner" to @ceilingcow for once again organizing @yeehawgust for us all to join in and enjoy! Running events is so much work, and the amount of polish Yeehawgust has shows tons of planning and effort all for us strangers to have some fun.

If you participated—making things or cheering us all on with likes—, please reblog this with a thank you or some of your compliments about the event!

I love

That this event has daily and weekly prompts. They're so supportive of people's varying availability.

That good old yeehaw voice that's not only in the promotional art, but in all the text too. I've never seen 'em break character.

The prompt postings day by day as both reminders and encouragement!

Bicorns are fierce, savage, dirty beasts that come from deep in the wilds. Approach at your own risk…

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.

Post-canon Souji, except it’s post-accomplice ending and he’s up to some awful things…probably.
