YCH Showcase - October 2024 by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
YCH Showcase - October 2024
YCH 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!
's prolific gallery showcases a diverse mix of expressive and dynamic YCH poses, often centered around fantasy themes. Her art style blends soft, eye-catching shading with playful and elegant details that bring her creations to life.

Tutorial: Draw an Arctic Fox! by BeckyKidus, journal
Tutorial: Draw an Arctic Fox!
It's November, and winter is coming - or has come - for most of us. So what better creature to draw than an arctic fox, all poofy in their winter fur? (And even if winter isn't coming your way, who can resist them?)
Because that's what we'll be doing! And if you follow the steps and post your artwork with the hashtag #ArcticFoxTutorial, you'll also get a special badge:
I have drawn this with your good old graphite pencil and some colored pencils, but you can obviously use other traditional and digital media as well Without further ado, let's begin!
Step 1: Draw a circle, and divide it into four parts.
Step 2: Let's get the most important details added, namely the eyes and the nose. The top of the nose should be halfway between the center and the lower edge of the circle. Also remember that arctic foxes, like other foxes, have small noses compared to dogs and wolves!
Step 3: Time to add the muzzle! Each whisker pad is a nosewidth wide, and has a rounded "smiling" shape. I've

Fan Art Friday: Haunted Mansion
“Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please, and make room for everyone. There’s no turning back now."
The Haunted Mansion is a Disney theme park attraction featuring a haunted mansion with 999 happy haunts (but there's always room for one more, any volunteers??)! This dark ride attraction has several locations (with some differences to each one): Haunted Mansion in Disneyland California, Tokyo Disneyland, and Magic Kingdom in Florida, as well as two spin-offs Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris and Mystic Manor in Hong Kong Disneyland. It's also inspired two Disney live-action movies The Haunted Mansion (2003) starring Eddie Murphy and Haunted Mansion (2023) starring LaKeith Stanfield, as well as a Muppets Halloween special: Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021).
It's a theme park attraction that has so many spooky legends and lore behind it, as well as plenty of room for haunting fan-made backstories. Its personally

The Jolson Maneuver
The hotel restaurant’s dining room had an outstanding view of the city and spaceport. Bill set a table for breakfast, while Theo and Uncle Ted brought down everything they’d need to make breakfast in the hotel kitchen. There were already some essentials, but they brought some of what Dad had intended to trade as well.
They also brought some fresh meat for the refrigeration unit. Those reindeer had been brought to Osir as a food source, but had not been culled for quite some time. Bill was also an unapologetic omnivore, and liked the idea of bringing some reindeer meat to the table.
Bill Flynn had no idea how long they would be camped out on the galactic rim, but he intended to make himself at home. He’d done a five klick run through the city, and saw enough during his PT to make life there interesting. Most important at the moment was the hospital he’d passed.
After breakfast he’d pick out a car from the dealership he’d run by, and take the
