@Annie Leonhardt - Yeah, totally, that's called gift art! (I love all of your generosity guys, it's so sweet!)
@wingz. - Gurl, I feelz yah, welcome back to being alive. Despite being from the internet, don't worry about having to log in each day if you've got more important things to do! School and work come first.
@IceyWolf - Wow, that's cute! I always love seeing your plumie art, never forget to post it here.
@bambi, - Drat, missed those slots! Don't take too much onto your plate though!
@Shattered Beazt - Why hasn't anyone replied to you yet? Let me help you out here...
- Quality over quantity! Sometimes, quantity is nice to see that someone has put time into things (this applies for impress mes) but often times a judge will go with what they think really sticks out in an amazing way from the rest.
- Coding can make things look nice, but it doesn't guarantee a win. Simple coding can look just as a nice as complex coding and no coding can win just as much as extensive coding. This mainly applies to the simple and small competitions, as making things look nice is an essential bonus in impress mes.
- Original/memorable ideas with plumies tend to leave a nicer mark on the judges, but don't grasp for strange, exotic ideas. My best advice is to be original and creative with something fresh but not abstruse.
WELP. IT ONLY TOOK ME FIVE MONTHS (filled with inturruptions) AND LOTS OF PATIENCE TO MAKE THIS.

I've been meaning to draw Varen for a long time now, but this took waaay longer than it should have. That's what I get for using Autodesk Sketchbook.... I better not find a mistake because I'm too tired to deal with any.
I'm going to be doing a Plumie lineart soon for people to get color-in trades/DA points color-ins with soon, is there any kind of pose/theme that someone's been dying to see? I'd love ideas!
I'm not really active here anymore. Please don't ask for my pets or OCs!
