ThumbHub

Now live! https://discord.com/channels/697493100519620640/1422944663509274715 Starting October 1 we will open submissions for the "you never really sucked at this" contest, inspired by selecting the oldest piece of art you can find and trying to duplicate it. The task challenges you to use the same style, tools, techniques to produce as close to an exact copy as you can of the piece. As artists, we focus far too often on how much we've improved without giving any acknowledgement to where we started. Duplicating an old piece helps you to face up to the previous cringe and revisit what it took for the younger version of ourselves to create that piece. You may find it's incredibly difficult just to draw something exactly the same way you used to, you may find it extremely easy. You may find it awful to even look at, but we owe that person our appreciation for being the first stone on the pathway that lead us to today. The contest will run through December 31st. Dates: Oct 1

At @ThumbHub we are always trying to find new ways to engage our small corner of DeviantArt and say thank you to our chatters via our Discord Server (click there to join!) and DA group. This year we have already introduced a brand new art-sharing bot, redesigned the server to be more user-friendly, and jumped on board with DA's new linking feature! What else could we possibly come up with?! Well thanks to some great brainstorming by two of our regular chatters, @Medjoe and @barefootliam, and the bot-building genius of our very own, @inanenormality... We have a branch new feature launching today! Introducing... ThumbHub Rewards! Chatters will now earn "hubcoins" for utilizing ThumbHubBot in our #discovery channel to share artwork by your favorite artists from DeviantArt, Instragram, or Twitter! These hubcoins can be saved up and redeemed for a variety of rewards. :star: How to Earn :star: Rewards Store :star: How to Redeem :star: How to Earn Hubcoins Using the
