The Giveaway Results
Thanks, everyone, who showed off their character sheets on here and on Twitter! You all have such diverse and cool fursonas. It wasn't an easy pick, but Banryu and I selected four people to fill those positions: Bomba, Pocket, Mentova, and Bailey! Thank you for filling in; it's always nice to get the community involved when there's an opportunity, instead of just drawing some generic placeholder character.

The Next Giveaway
If your character didn't get selected this time, please don't fret! There were a lot of cool characters that I would love to feature, but I just didn't have the room in this piece. I'm confident that there will be other paintings that could use extra characters to help complete the scene, so I'll definitely keep you all posted when those are coming up. If you didn't get in on this one, it'll just increase your chances for the next!

Additionally, I'm 24 followers away from my first giveaway on my art Twitter!

My New Kitten Needs a Name!
A few days ago, my brother and sister brought home a stray kitten! He was found under some stranger's car hood, riding on the suspension next to an engine that had been driving. I've never heard of a cat doing that in the middle of summer before! I'm amazed and thankful that he wasn't killed.

He's still skittish, but has definitely warmed up to all of us since getting here. We haven't decided on a name for him yet though. I just keep calling him "new baby," haha.

Our kneejerk reaction was to name him Otto (a play on "Auto") or Axle, but our cousin actually has two cats with those exact names.

I have photos and videos of him on my non-art Twitter. You can see what he looks like here and here!
