Winter Soulstice Day 19

Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by chromalescent

Welcome to Day 19 of the Winter Soulstice!

Happy New Year's Eve -- or, New Years for those already there! It's been a long year for many, but I am so, so thankful for having the Wispcat community in my life. In the last year, we somehow made.. 244 Wispcats????? what???? that sounds ridiculous, but apparently so!

"Did you do everything you hoped to do this year?"

Winter's words are curious, and without judgement. Mulling over the thought, what comes to mind? Time spent with friends, time spent alone? Games, work, chores, errands. When you start to speak, he just smiles.

"There's always next year. I can feel the ebb of winter now, as we pass through the solstice, and the day is at its very shortest, before beginning to wax anew. My season is shifting, as it does every year. But even after it ends, we'll meet again, when the world gets cold once more."

The great beast gazes out across the snowy landscape, his face gently illuminated with the glow of so many different lights, before turning back to you.

"And I'll ask you again - Did you do everything you hoped to do this year?"

Week 3 Art Prompts:

All event art prompts will be eligible during the entirety of the event, and for one week after the event ends on January 1st. Prompts are listed here.

Bonfire 2024

Draw a collaborative piece with at least one other member!

• This prompt may be completed up to three times.
• To count for the prompt, each piece must at least be 2 fullbodies, showing your wispcat and another wispcat, drawn collaboratively; this may be sketched by one person and lined by another, or your wispcats drawn by eachother, you each draw your own wispcat, etc, but the collaboration MUST be there & you must indicate each person's work in the artist credits.
• This prompt is special, in that for each participant, the reward is increased multiplicatively. The base worth 5 Embers and 4 Winter Motes, multiplied by each person, in addition to the standard art rewards. SO: Two artists = 10 and 8 , Three artists = 15/12, etc.
• For an additional 10 embers (does not multiply) include the bonfire itself as a background of any detail, so long as it is obviously a fire.

Oversleeping 2024

Draw your Wispcat recovering from all the revelry!

• This prompt may be up to three times.
• To count for the prompt, the piece must at least be a Fullbody, or 500 words, depicting your Wispcat napping, or snoozing, or covered in glitter while drooling on the floor... you get the picture!
• This prompt is worth 5 Embers and 4 Winter Motes in addition to the standard art rewards.

Raffle Day 19:

Welcome to the nineteenth day of Wispcat raffles!

Auras, Like Fireworks!

Today we're raffling off three Minor Aura traits, two Medium Aura , and a Major Aura trait -- meaning we will have 6 winners!
While these auras can be used for anything within their guidelines, I'm imaging them as being sparks, glitter, and explosions for the New Year :)
