tirnu

Hi all!
I've created an Instagram account for all sorts of creative works of mine! Feel free to follow me there.   instagram.com/tirnu.art
There's also an account for my pet rats! I needed a place for my rat picture spam.   instagram.com/tirnu.rat
You might also notice that I've got a third, private Instagram account. I'm rather private with this so I'm not likely to accept follower requests if we have never talked or if I don't recognize you by your username.

I will be attending Gingacon's artists' alley this saturday, sharing the table with kippycube and neighbouring with SaQe! Let me know if you're attending too! ^_^

Heippa!
Elikkä nykyään minulla on Instagram-tili kaikenmoisille luomuksilleni. Tervetuloa seuraamaan!   instagram.com/tirnu.art
Myös rotillani on oma tili. Tarvitsin paikan rottakuvaspämmille!   instagram.com/tirnu.rat
Kuten tuolta varmasti huomaa, minulla on myös kolmas tili. Sen tarkoitus on kuitenkin olla yksityinen ja ystävien kesken jaettu, joten tulen tuskin hyväksymään seurantapyyntöjä, mikäli emme ole koskaan puhuneet tai en tunnista nimimerkkiäsi.

Sitten vielä coniasiaa: Osallistun Gingaconiin taidekujan merkeissä tulevana lauantaina. Minulla on yhteinen pöytä kippycuben kanssa, ja SaQe tähystää naapuripöydässä. Ilmoittele ihmeessä, mikäli tulet olemaan paikalla, olisi hauskaa tietää! ^_^


These stickers will be available in Gingacon! Näitä tarroja on saatavilla Gingaconissa!

I was tagged by Tikrekins to do this little challenge about my character tirnu!

Rules:
1. Post 8 facts about your character
2. Tag 8 other characters
3. Post their names along with their owner's avatar.



Meet tirnu!

1. tirnu is my fursona. Her early forms were shaped in 2007, but her current fur colour/pattern was finalized in 2008...
2. ...But her body shape is constantly changing in each drawing. I find it difficult to keep it consistent!
3. She's probably my dearest character. I draw her everywhere.
4. My favourite part of drawing her is her ears, and if I colour her, the little white splotch on her chest!
5. I don't know why, but I usually prefer to write her name with a small initial, just like my username. It's not something I expect from others, just the way I like doing it.
6. She's a mix of a jack russel terrier and a corgi. The breeds' natures don't represent myself at all - they just happen to have the closest looks of tirnu and how I would imagine them to mix up.
7. She didn't have a name for a long time. Only when I made this account in 2011 and people started calling me by my username, the pieces kinda fell into their places and tirnu got her name.
8. I haven't planned much of a personality nor a backstory for her - she mostly represents me in my art and I enjoy drawing her in various scenarios.

Here are also some of my first drawings of tirnu, or where I consider it to be an early form of her:
2007, here she has formed her small size I believe

2007, this is the kind of tail she still has.

2008, tirnu's first reference sheet!

2008, probably the first artsy drawing I drew of her.


And I'll only tag 5 people for now!

1. kittikos and Mari
2. gurain and Gurain
3. kippycube and Raasu
4. Canis-Infernalis and Skaret
5. Valehiisi and Sigr Vairnavík

Thanks for reading! :>

Hey all!

<sup>edit Nov 28th: Hello! Last chance - this raffle will close on tomorrow at 23:59 in my time! (You can check the time from this link)

edit Nov 25th: Hi again! There are a few days left to participate! Also sorry for the spam, I thought reposting this in a different time would get me more visibility? I will make one more notification about this on next saturday. Thanks! :></sup>


Inspired by Tikrekins' artsy advent calendar raffle, I decided to make one of my own! I haven't done a giveaway/raffle of any sort before, so I hope you can take it easy on me ´v`;;
As I won't have the time and the energy for a full advent calendar with new submissions for each day until Christmas, my raffle will be much smaller. I still wanted to remember my followers somehow during this dark time of the year.

So, here goes:

There are four slots to be raffled. A new submission will be submitted each Thursday until Christmas Eve, on December 3th, 10th, 17th and 24th!
The drawing will be styled somehow like this:


Raffle rules
• Be my watcher! Both old and new followers are welcome.
• Post a comment below with a link to a character you'd like drawn by me. One comment per person.
• I accept feral characters only! You may suggest more than one character, but please remember I will only draw one of them.
• The winners will be raffled on random.org and published only on the day of submission.
• Deadline for participating: November 29th!

Advertising this raffle is not required but very appreciated. No need to ask for my permission, but let me know if you do it! ;v;
Feel free to ask if there are any questions in your mind.

So thanks for reading and good luck! I'm quite excited to do this. >v< <3
