500 FOLLOWERS YAOAOA

y'all.... 500 shaboinks.... (it may go back down a little when i posted this in typical newgrounds fashion but it doesnt matter. essentially there is 500 dongaroos).

(above image is me currently)

thanq uuu

this milestone actually happened so close to the 400 milestone that i'm not too sure i have anything unique to say. the growth is insane and as always i appreciate it a whole lot. i love making art, hosting collabs and just getting to know all you silly newgrounders. i feel like im starting to repeat myself now but i cant wait to make more things for the community. it brings me just as much joy to watch my own account grow as it does to have been able to help someone else grow through a collab, shoutout or whatever have you. thank u newgrounds and i love u. big urge to thank all my homies and bromies but im saving that for my 2025 recap

whimsical buisness

i am currently rolling around a couple of ideas in my head. the most easily executable and most likely (at this point in time my cat has crawled on my lap and is in the way of me typing; i found this important to share) is another shoutout event for the summer in the same vein as the loveletter event i ran in February. instead of focusing on personal relationships, this one will just be shouting out creators on the site that you like.

another idea i had was to users submit one of their ocs, then randomly assign everyone to add their own spin to. sort of like an oc restyle. my concerns with this idea was someone getting a less skilled artist assigned to their oc, and being upset with the result. i feel like the solution would be to have a more sophisticated hosting system almost identical to how secret santa is hosted here. Sorted into groups based on effort put in/ skill level and with backup artists. but my problem with that is it seems like a huge undertaking for just me to host on my own, and a lot of effort if the idea doesnt take off. there's also the question of are unscouted artists included? to which i would always like the answer to be Yes, but i fear it would be extra work. its something i need to think more about.

i would also like to host a spiritual sequel to the pokemon variance collab this year. Maybe something more in the realm of actual fakemon instead of forms of pre-existing pokemon. I had thought of a sort of pokemon showdown clone for the collab game, but was told it would be a lot of work on the hypothetical programmer so i went hmmm... Thats Not Good. i want to do something more Fun presentation wise then the past pokedex style gameviewer but cannot really think of anything. if you're a programmer and you're like "hot Dong i've got a great idea whimsical-wife" just like hmu or smthn.. i suppose there's nothing wrong with the pokedex game viewer if nothing else is thought of however.

and of course just normal art stuff. mouthwashing and ponies of course. but if there's something you'd like to see me draw in terms of fanart, whether its a franchise i've drawn for before or something i've literally never mentioned let me know! i might end up drawing it.

DA ART RAFFLE

okay now its time for what u were really waiting for.. whimsical-wife iconic art raffle. its awesome.

art raffle rules

• comment on this newspost to enter! you dont have to be a follower to enter. if you want to comment but not enter the raffle, just specify that.
• previous winners will have a slimmer chance of winning. users who have not won will have their usernames put on the wheel i spin twice, previous winners will only be put on once. (we love our art raffle winners here on whimsical-wife, but i figured since we have a cumulative 11 winners i might need to thin things out to keep it fair)
• i will not draw nsfw/suggestive art for a raffle winner. this is to my discretion. if i feel uncomfortable with drawing what you have asked me as a winner, you will have to request something else (but you will still get a prize!) do not worry too much about this happening, as i havent had to ask someone to change a request yet.
• there will be 5 winners this time!

once i feel ready and it seems the raffle entries stop rolling in, i will add everyone's username to a wheel and spin 5 times. i will then dm the winners and take their request and try to get it out in a timely manner. thats it! live laugh love. i think thats all i have to say for this one! thank you newgrounds and thank you whimsy nation
