I'm not very good at posting during events or returning to my own threads, but this is me trying anyway. Chat, earn seeds, maybe even get free art, who knows?

If you want a chance at getting an experimental art freebie of some kind, just post a visual reference in this thread. No promises on art consistency, and I apologize in advance if I don't get around to everyone, because I probably won't. I'd like to keep this very casual and just do whatever interests me.
There's a link to my regular art shop in my signature if you want to see what my art looks like (or pay for something a little more polished). There's also a link to my art request if you're up for a trade, wink-wink.

In the meantime, what are y'all up to lately?
I have mostly just been really excited for spooky season (while also dreading the prospect of needing to find a job asap. The joys of adult life, I guess). Got a plastic skeleton and would really like to give corpsing a try... I would also love some horror novel recommendations if you have any.

Unrelated, but I love your avatar. :D

@Spider: well ty :^P

@CooperationIsKey: and ty as well
Corpsing (in this context, anyway) is basically taking a model skeleton and altering it to have a more "dead body" look. After learning I could do this fairly cheaply with plastic sheets, a heat gun, and some wood stain, I am eager to give it a shot.

@CooperationIsKey: If I end up being able to get the materials (and the time) to do it, I'll definitely share.

@Shark: dang.. i've seen a few book suggestions online, but i'm always so picky about actually choosing to start a new thing. But spooky stuff is good stuff.

    I think we just used an old sheet, or maybe crumpled up wads of newspaper with tape wrapped around it to make our corpses. In my childhood home, we made fake corpses, then wrapped those up with the cobweb decorations and spread it across the front of the porch. There were also some large spiders tucked in the dark recess of the ceiling of the porch, and a variety of other decorations spread in the yard.

    I think the newspaper is cheaper than using a skeleton or body, though.

@blue: aye, that'd be neat! But what I'm talking about for mine is making a more realistic decayed body, so the skeleton is necessary in this case.

@Lina: Same, I usually miss most of the events and barely manage to get the items. Gonna try this time!
