I almost never partake in this sort of thing, but I've been promising myself to be more actively involved in things, soo... why wait until the new year for that? Best just start now, and this is one way!

Please do not feel in the least bit obligated! This is just something for fun. Please link your own list if you have one! I can't afford purchases right now but I'd be happy to do you a character sketch or something of the sort!

-Step 1; Your wishlist
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.
-Step 2; Give Back
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special
-Step 3; The List

1. Commission me! I've had a lot of difficulty netting work, and knowing folks like it enough to get something is an awesome thing to me. That, and I could just plain use the savings right now! I have a commission trello here, but right now I'm just open to any old proposal you may think of, and I'm offering a discount if you let me experiment with style a little.
2. Any art of my characters or the like! I have a charahub, though if you want better refs or more info on a particular character, just ask and I can dig something up...
3. Donate to an environmental charity! Do a little research to find the good ones. I'm a fan of the Ocean Conservancy, myself, because the ocean is pretty hella great and important and needs some specific attention. If anyone else has done research on this and has some suggestions, please offer that info in the comments here!
4. Leave some thoughtful commentary, either to myself or anyone else! If you've ever had a question about my world building or story or characters, I love rambling about it to those who might be genuinely interested, so just let me know.
5. Propose an art trade! Just anything small and sketchy would be fun.
6. Amazon, Jerry's Artorama, or Blick gift card money, if you are really wanting to do something like that? I'm just trying to fill spaces at this point, haha.
7. Share my work with someone who might like it? I'm trying to make a big push for self-promo in the coming year to get my career off the ground, but I'm still quite an unknown, so any help is so so appreciated. Thank you!

Uh... okay, I really can't think of three more, haha. Obviously I have a fairly singular focus just now, huh? :P Anyway! If you have one of these, please link yours! And have a happy holiday season, regardless!
