YCH (Your Character Here) artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it. It's not merely a commission; it's a collaborative journey where you and the artist co-author an unforgettable experience for your character. Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art! @ReklawKC Community Quotes Omg there's another one..

Edit: The contest is now over and the winners drawn. If still you want to tag and compliment people, you're free to do so, but there will be no chance of winning further prizes. Two years have passed since the last one, and it is high time to spread compliments again - this time, with an event larger than ever! The Rules The rules are simple. To enter, you have to tag people and say something nice to them. Those people can be friends, art idols, stock providers, people who improve the community in one way or another... Anything like that. For every person you tag, you get one raffle ticket. There is a limit of 5 tickets per participant, to prevent spamming. However, you can still tag as many people as you want - you just won't get those extra tickets. Remember: to tag people, you need to either add an @ in front of their name or add their avatar via the "add emote or avatar" button at the bottom of your "comment box". The old :devUsername: and :iconUsername: do not work. If you

Welcome to another Fan Art Friday! Today is Goku Day, and we'll be celebrating one of the most famous Manga/Anime franchises in the world! Dragon Ball is a manga written and illustrated by the amazing mangaka, Akira Toriyama. It was originally published in Shōnen Jump magazine, by the Japanese publishing house Shueisha, between 1984 and 1995.

This week, we turn the page back in time and immerse ourselves in the refined wit, romantic tension, and social commentary that defines the beloved works of Jane Austen. From the headstrong Elizabeth Bennet to the quietly perceptive Anne Elliot, Austen's heroines have captured the hearts of readers—and artists—for generations. Whether inspired by the windswept English countryside or the sharp banter of drawing room dramas, these fan works bring Austen’s timeless characters and stories to vibrant life. "I am half agony, half hope." — Persuasion "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." — Pride and Prejudice "Know your own happiness. Call it hope. Call it anticipation. It is the same thing." — Sense and Sensibility Let these passionate declarations, quiet longings, and sly observations transport you to Austen’s world through the eyes of our talented community.
