YCH Showcase - September 2024 by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
YCH Showcase - September 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!
Hello! I'm and I draw YCH inspired tarot cards from dragon age and dark fantasy theme. After a bad experience with companies, I decided to start posting my work on DeviantArt and have been working as a freelance artist for several years now. My advice - never give up!

Feature: Writing tutorials + undiscovered art by BeckyKidus, journal
Feature: Writing tutorials + undiscovered art
It is time to feature more tutorials and undiscovered art! :dummy:
As usual, the feature will be divided into two parts. The first part includes tutorials on how to design characters and creatures, and the second part is a selection of artwork I’ve discovered recently with fewer than 50 favourites.
Previous features are linked at the bottom of the journal, and I post a new feature each month on my profile, usually around the 15th :la:
This month, we'll focus on an art form which can be a bit hidden on DA, namely writing. There are a lot of good stories, fan fiction and poetry out there, though - as well as some excellent tutorials on writing!
First, we'll start with... well, story writing. @illuminara and @OokamiKasumi start us off by giving some tips on how to start writing in general, as well as giving some beginner tips. illuminara also has an enlightening guide on how to write your first draft, and then @MomoPoms gives some great advice on how to write good fanfiction

Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai
Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix is a visually striking animated series with a gripping storyline, unique characters, and powerful themes like identity, honour, and vengeance.
Set in Edo-era Japan, the eponymous blue-eyed samurai, Mizu, embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. In a society that values purity and conformity above all else, the mixed-race Mizu is an outcast, experiencing deep-rooted prejudice and abuse at every turn. Demonised by society, Mizu's insatiable need for revenge against those responsible for her origin begins to threaten her very humanity.
This week's Fan Art Friday feature pays tribute to Mizu's unforgettable journey - her strength, determination, and vulnerability - with some amazing fan art created by the community.
An artist gives all they have to the art, the whole. Your strengths and deficiencies, your loves and shames. Perhaps the people you collected. - The Swordfather

Hello! I've been known as Kirlas for a long time, but recently got renamed to Leifeey. I'm a 17-year-old concept artist, illustrator and a multi-passionate person in general! I just LOVE drawing dragons and trying new things! Designing characters and telling their stories via visuals also brings me a lot of joy. I have been drawing since my early childhood, but I started to learn it professionally in 2016. Now I share some of the art lessons I've learned on YouTube and telling about my journey on Instagram. I haven't sold adopts in a while, but I recently finished a bunch of new designs for auctions! So, they will be open for sale soon~

Chapter Twenty-Four: Allegiance
“It may be small now. But I still don’t like it, sir.”
Shan wrapped his arms as he tried keep his teeth from chattering through the admission. Despite being out of the wind and wearing an extra wool over his tunic, the winter’s chill burrowed under his skin as they eyed the figures outside the gate. How they could bear to gather in the snow and night wind, he couldn’t fathom. The act was either of great determination, or they were insane. Neither was dismissible.
“No one said you had to be comfortable. Just don’t get antsy yet. Even if they mean trouble, there’s no chance of them breaking through the defenses.”
“Then why are they here?”
His commander offered no answer. Which was an answer in itself. Shan eyed the band to see if he could pick out anything distinctive. It was too far for faces, but in figure most appeared to be human. At least three score as far as he could see, if others were en route or hidden he wouldn’t be surprised. The commander was right, it wasn’t enough to

A Pal for Gary
The episode starts at SpongeBob's house, where he is feeding Gary. Afterward, he has to leave for work, but Gary wants to go for a walk. SpongeBob tells him that he does not have time to give him one and sadly walks away to work but realizes that Gary is using his leash as a lasso to get snacks while he watches a cowboy show. As he goes to the Krusty Krab, he comments on how Gary is able to entertain himself when he’s alone.
At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob hears a news report about an unknown monster abducting pets when their owners aren’t home, causing SpongeBob to panic.
As SpongeBob gets off work at night, Mr. Krabs tells him that he needs help with loading coal out of the parking lot, but SpongeBob cannot help as he has to get back to Gary at home. Mr. Krabs lets him off the hook so long as he comes in work five hours earlier the following day to help with the parking lot. As SpongeBob is walking home, he notices a truck selling Puffy Fluffs, which catch his attention due to their
