June 19, 2019 edit: I will now be drawing the 4 winners and contacting them; thank you everyone who participated!!


I'm bringing back another contest for y'all to celebrate 1500 watchers! Thank you to everyone for joining my side of the internet, and to those who passed through. Much appreciated! This is a different contest than the last one, so let's get into it!!

I still get approached with inquiries about requests and occasional art trades, so I will be opening slots! Two (2) requests and two (2) art trades. Like last time, I won't be doing it first come first serve. Let's go over the rules:

(Note: For sake of ease I shall be referring to those selected for spots as "winners")



--RULES--


1. This is open for only watchers who watched me before this journal was posted; sorry. But I'm certain I'll be opening spots again at a later time, so new watchers can perhaps try next time, OR if you didn't get a spot this time, you might next time. Assuming I even get enough people to fill slots! XD 


2. To enter all ya gotta do is comment below that you want to enter and for which one; either art trade or request. You can enter for both BUT you can only win one (1). I will write all contestants' usernames on paper and draw from a hat. Winners will be at random.

HOWEVER!!

I will say that with the art trade, there are extra rules:

a) I absolutely expect the contestants/winners to give their absolute 100% into their halves. I give my 100% and it's only fair that I expect the same. Let's be equal about it, shall we? Good.

b) You MUST have recent examples of your work in your gallery. I want to know that I will in fact be receiving an art in return. Failure to present this will disqualify you for an art trade.

c) I can understand life is hectic and not everyone makes arts at my pace, so I won't fault the winners for taking a while to complete their halves. However, failure to produce and give me my half will result in a ban from any and all future openings like this.


3. I will communicate to winners via notes; you must respond within 24 hours of me telling you that you won, or I will select another winner. Additionally, should you respond within that time frame but then suddenly vanish for a week without explanation or communication, I will select a different winner


4. I will gather all winners before starting any of the projects


5. Entry time is from June 4th, 2019 to June 18th, 2019 On June 19th I will draw winners.


6. Any questions or concerns feel free to note me or ask below! 




--WHAT I WILL AND WILL NOT DRAW--


WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME:

- All art will be black and white (unless blood. Then red will also be used!)
- Simple/no backgrounds
- Simple props/weapons (Although complex weapons may or may not be accepted... depends.)
- Up to two characters 
- Half body to almost full body 
- Everyone will be fully clothed. (I am a little lax about this but tis to my digression)
- May seem silly to add, but I'd like to note that if in the case I am drawing for a show that is in my headspace world, whatever I draw will NOT be considered an official addition to my headspace story unless otherwise specifically stated.


WILL DRAW:

- Ships/pairings  including self-insert  (HOWEVER I will NOT draw known abusive/toxic pairings, incest, nor ones with significant age gaps. Eg. Yoonbum and Sangwoo, Sam and Dean Winchester, age 12 and 35.) *NOTE: Additional WILL NOT about ships/pairings in WILL NOT
- Inserts in general
- Humans
- I will attempt anthro if required of me
- BLOOD *u*
- OCs
- You! (Want a demonized/dark/evil version of you like I've done for myself? I will do it!!!)
- Fan art
- Some animals (inquire for further details)

REQUIREMENTS:

- Must be able to send me references of desired characters/OCs/people
- Must send references for poses desired
- If you want me to draw self-insert/yourself in any method , you must be willing to tell me your age and height (for ship inserts/inserts specifically),  and a photo(s?) of you that you want me to use for reference. 
- Be sure to tell me what outfits are desired, otherwise I will design outfits myself

(I will remind you of these requirements once we start talking)


WILL NOT DRAW:

- Known abusive/toxic pairings, incest, nor ones with significant age gaps. Eg. Yoonbum and Sangwoo, Sam and Dean Winchester, age 12 and 35.

- Sorry, but I'll not be drawing romantic self-insert or other pairings with any of my baes aka Hisoka (HxH), Feitan (HxH), nor Levi (AoT) I'M SORRY; I'D JUST GET...WEIRD ABOUT IT!! 😂 
- Fetish art
- Hate art (eg. racist/xenophobic/homophobic/ect)
- Abuse 
- Sexual art
- Nudity 
- Fan art for shows I dislike eg. Simpsons, Family Guy, ect. Any specific inquires do feel free to ask.
- Some animals (inquire for further details)


I hold the right to refuse to do any arts that I am uncomfortable creating, be they specifically mentioned here or not. Should said winner react uncooperatively, specifically for in the realm of WILL NOT DRAW, they shall be banned from all future openings, potentially blocked, and a new winner will be selected. 


Anything not mentioned in either WILL or WILL NOT feel free to ask about!

Tagged by :iconcatstudio7: It's been ages since I've played one of these! Thanks for tagging!


Rules:

*Write 13 things about yourself.

*Answer 13 things asked by the person who tagged you, and make your own 13 questions.

*Tag 13 deviants. Make sure they know they're tagged.

*Don't say, "You're tagged if you read this."

*You can tag back



∆ 13 Things about myself:

† 1-  I'm a drag performer; Thaneros Crypt, who is a genderless crypt-dweller brought back to life through the passion of music, sex, and death!

† 2- I was in a relationship of sorts last year; second longest lasting one ever at 7 weeks. (Couldn't say anything about it since it was supposed to be kept secret.
†2.5 - I will never again be in a secret relationship; I've been in way too many of those and it just don't work for me.)

† 3- I am 98% certain if I ever have someone like me mutually, Imma have a panic attack.

† 4- I currently have a lovely person on my radar 👀👀👀 regardless that the likeliness of me winning their heart is slim to none.

† 5- I have fantasies about being able to one day work again and being able to afford to treat my friends to outings and gifts, and being able to just live comfortably.

† 6- For the past year or so I've been working on a novel. I need to try and work on it again soon; it's been a while.

† 7- I have a few plans to do some combined performances with some local drag queens; they're willing to do whatever I say since what I do is so dark and different. Excited to do those at some point~~~

† 8- I tend to forget I'm not actually near/in my 30s...

† 9- I intend to one day write an autobiography; it's been requested by a l o t of people

† 10- My nonbinary ass cannot WAIT to one day get top surgery done. YEET THE TITS!!!

† 11- I am an absolute cuddlebug. I have this year gained a friend who will allow me to snuggle the fuck out of them and I love it.

† 12- In general I tend to be highly affectionate. I'm a massive advocate for platonic affection being normalized.

† 13- Where I am now in life in all aspects I never would have dreamed of being at at any point in my life; be it when I was 5 or even just last year in 2018. Life be crazy.


∆ My answers:

† 1- Do you have a pet?

• Nope; not with me. I consider all my furbabies (and one feather baby) to still be mine despite their passing or having not seen them in years, but none live with me.


† 2- Do you have a favorite anime/cartoon serie(s)?

• HxH. I really only like SnK for Levi. *GASP FROM THE CROWD*


† 3- If you had to live in a different country, what place would that be?

• Can I choose the country of my headspace? XD If not uh... Wherever is the next best place that I can be my queer, nonbinary self and have free healthcare and shit.


† 4- Your ultimate vacation you've had so far?

• Pfft. I grew up below poverty and nowadays I ain't doing too well financially either. Don't got these.
Unless you want to count the "vacation" which was actually just a cover term used so my immediate bloodkin unit could escape the Hell I was raised in. Supposed to be two weeks; never went back.


† 5- What do you think about me/my art?

• You are a darling (sorry I don't have the time/energy to interact with you more ;0; ), and your arts are delightful!

 
† 6- Are you a Voltron fan?

• Nah.


† 7- Any other hobbies beside's making art?

• I've been taking up crafting, namely for drag performances. Which I know is art but it is an otherwise unused art medium for me. Practice dancing on my own. Make little music videos for posting on my Snap and Instagram stories (which people tend to really love! :D Makes me very happy~~)


† 8- I suck at making questions, do you have a question for me?

• Can't say I do XD


† 9 - Anything you ever wanted to do in your life?

• Oh Hell yeah; many things. One thing I'd like to do but genuinely don't think ever will happen is getting married. I cannot fathom the idea anyone would ever actually ~choose~ to be with me so eternally.


† 10 - You have any siblings?

• Technically yes. Grew up with 2; shortly before escaping that aforementioned Hell in 2011, found out I had 3 additional siblings. I've disowned my entire bloodline on either side though.


† 11 - Other social media?

• Indeed! All the links be at the bottom of this journal; where I always put them.


† 12 - Do you roleplay/ or have oc's?

• I used to roleplay but shits been too crazy for me to get back into it; which SUCKS because I loved the stories!! ;0; And I do have OCs! They're all essentially alternate versions of myself haha XD
My favourites being my headspace version(s) of me, and Glitch!


† 13 - Any last words for me?

• (I can't help but imagine this like a western; you caught me with a good punch; I move to get up and kick ass but see a revolver pointed in my face as you ask this question.)

Mmm... Have more faith in your own abilities, and seek ways to trust the process more. Find ways to focus on the here and now; let the rewards build while you're just busy doing what you're doing now. Enjoy the process; let the rewards build under a blind eye.


My 13:

1- If you were to do drag, what would your name be? Additionally, what would their aesthetic be? Would they be a performer or nah?

2- What's the queerest thing you've ever done, in your books?

3- What is a food you would like to learn to make?

4- You're able to immediately master any one instrument; what do you choose??

5- If you were to get married, is there a song you ~must~ have played? Which is it?

6- Which is your favorite colour to have glow?

7- Which colour looks like it would taste the best?

8- Would you allow me to give you headscritches with my claws? *wriggles fingers*

9- If you could learn to parkour, would you?

10- You are able to master the art of using one type of sword; which sword do you choose?

11- Best cookie?

12- If you were a galaxy, what would you look like?

13- Have you or would you ever see a drag performance if given the opportunity?



I tag in specific :iconcatstudio7: and I don't know who else likes tags SO if you see this and wanna do, please do! And tell me if you like doing tags; I'll note your name down for future usage.

Got tagged by :iconsilvermonki: thanks lovely!

THEIR QUESTIONS
1. Why are you on deviantART?

● To post art; to be the representation I always wanted/needed; to enjoy the art of others on here; to be inspired.


2. What colour are your eyes?

● That's the million dollar question. Friends and I have elected to go with saying I have ~mystery eyes~~. Grey? Blue?? Hazel??? You'd think amber or green a couple times. Hell, when first getting my photo ID, my boyfriend at the time and the worker; us three legit spent 15 minutes tryingnto figure out the colour. Settled on hazel.
True answer: Who knows.


3. Is there anybody you'd like to meet just once?

● As in meet once and then never ever again? Not that I can think of.


4. Cat person or dog person?

● I can enjoy both. Allergic to cats a bit though.


5. Can you touch your toes? (standing and leaning over with your arms)

● Fuck yeah I can.



6. You have £2 only to spend in the supermarket - what do you buy?

● Hell if I know; I dunno what I can buy with £s. I guess whatever I can afford??


7. If you play games, what was the last game you played?

● Skyrim!! Played it a couple months back... maaaaaan I miss gaming.


8. Do you like today's music? If not, what is your favourite era?

● Some. I don't have a favorite judged by era; I just like what I like.


9. Mittens or gloves?

● Gloves. Sexier.


10. You're the last person left alive in your home town/city.  What do you do?

● I mean I don't live there anymore so not be bothered by it. But if we go by current place... I guess enjoy the solitude?? Before wandering off to find other people I know.


11. Which Mr. Men/Little Miss are you most like? www.mrmen.com /

● Mr. Nobody; purely because oft times people say "~Nobody~ does that Dawn!!" and I'm like "Well I guess I'm nobody then!!"
Otherwise Hell if I know; never got into those things, and I ain't gonna browse that much. XD


12. They're making a film about your life, who do you get to direct it?

● OOOOOOH... HMMM. Sucks I haven't seen enough movies to judge this well...

Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman)? Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water)?? Ryan Coogler (Black Panther)??? I haven't actually seen any of the movies I exampled, (UHG) but given what I've seen around and heard, I think they'd be some of the good ones to turn to. I definitely have more a leaning towards del Toro due to having seen several of his films before; I think he could make the film real special indeed. He seems like he'd be easy to work with too; like someone who would allow me in on the creative process. Plus I feel they'd be sure to not white-wash me nor the film, and be in respects to my existence in several realms.

----

That was fun!! I'm sickly and in pain so I'm not coming up with questions nor tagging because fuuuuuccccckkkkkkk I don't got the brain power.

Tag 2:

Tagged by :iconiddybiddysquish:; thank you also for tagging!


Here's the task:
Write 13 things about yourself.
Answer 13 things asked by the person who tagged you, and make your own 13 questions.
Tag 13 deviants. Make sure they know they are tagged
Don't say "You're tagged if you read this".
It is forbidden not to tag anyone.
Tag backs are allowed. 


1. I got a secret blog of secrety secrets; I posted a preview of it some time ago on Instagram stories. And that's the closest anyone gets to know of it~~~

2. I am at current officially so literally sick of ramen noodles, I cannot eat them.

3. I need to go grocery shopping soon...

4. I recently understood, with the help of Tinder, that I am absolutely emotionally invested and truly am in love with my fictional baes... I probably won't be attracted to anyone who isn't my baes for a long time. If ever.

5. Good news; I'm finally over that damn fruitless crush!! :la: Just in a bit of a sad now of it though. But feels are gone!

6. I'm considering doing a couple things with my hair... we'll see.

7. Back with my first round of natural claws, whilst showering I accidentally punctured a hole in my neck with one. Fucking hurt.

8. I'm really reaaaaallly hating the isolation I'm stuck in. It's only gonna get worse too, soon.

9. I like knives.

10. I do enjoy the taste of blood.

11. I'd like to learn how to sew with a machine one day and make my own clothing... Also have the space to make my own clothing.

12. I also want space to cook proper foods... I just in general want my own place :iconcryforeverplz:

13. I'm hungry.


Their questions:

1. Rick and Morty anyone...?

• Nah; not my jam. Also I don't have way to watch it! XD


2. Favourite YouTube Channel? Fav upload by them?

• Oh man... I... don't think I have one; I don't really do YouTube anymore.


3. Doggo or kitties? ... Or Both~? Or neither</s>

• I do love both!! *0* But kitties hold special place in my heart~~~


4. What would you consider to be your number one talent?

• Uh... being an absolute piece of shit? XD Annoying??? Both a smart ~and~ dumb ass?????
I guess for realsies, I'd have to say drawing; it's a talent I've worked on the longest. Or maybe my double-jointed shoulder thing.... idk.


5. Favourite language? You don't necessarily need to be able to speak/understand it~

• Oooh... hmm. I... don't think I have one. They all have their different perks and downsides and shit.


6. Ever had any confusion over your sexuality and or sexual preferences? For example, questioning your own gender and or the gender/sexes you're into?

• Ah... yes and no. I'd always ~known~ I both was and was not a guy and/or gal; I'd always ~known~ I could fall for anyone. But given the seclusion I was raised under, I never had the words and was more or less forced to "conform".
So I guess I was raised in a sort of distant confusion; more so of why these roles I was being placed in didn't feel accurate, and if maybe I was just a freak for feeling so displaced. I knew who I was; I was Dawn through and through. I just lacked words and understanding.
My only confusion about these things now is for why people are insistent of being so ignorant and unaccepting. Ah well.


7. Into horror or fuck-that-shit-i'm-out? If yay then what's your favourite scary movie?

• Sure, I'm into it. None of them scare me (I've seen and experienced worse things IRL so movies don't scare me... THANKS WORLD/LIFE) so I don't have a favorite.


8. Ever have or wanted to dye/cut your hair extravagantly? If so what/how?

• Haha I suppose yeah. Nothing in particular though of recent.


9. Good at DIY or a flop?

• Depends on the DIY and day. But considering I've built a deck, outside stairs, planters, and made both functional and non-functional prop cigars... I think I'm pretty damn good.



10. Mac or Windows? or Linux~?

• Fuck if I know; the only electronic I have is my phone.  I know jackshit about computers.


11. Something you do that is unpredictable/surprises people when they hear/know about it?

• Besides my double-jointed shoulders... My depressing/fucked up past. People speak with me and hear my (apparently??) overtly positive tone, and they tend to think I had a good experience with family, friends, and must have grown well off financially. The truth of my broken, abusive, poverty-ridden upbringing always seems to shock people. Sure that's not exactly something I ~do~ but it does affect a lot of the things I do and the way I do them, so when people ask "Why" and these are their answer... They get surprised.


12. A kink that confuses the fuck out of you?

• HAH; more than half of mine confuse the fuck out of me. XD But... I guess one which is ~not~ mine and confuses me are ones to do with (COVER YOUR EYES KIDS UNDER +18... GO TO NEXT QUESTION) ........anything to do with urine and fecal matter. I just... ??? Not gonna kink shame but I just absolutely do ~not~ get it.



13. Worst movie you've ever seen?

• Tideland. I saw it when it was on TV when I was 10; it was playing on TV in the wee hours of the morning.
Several scenes have stuck with me; I actually wasn't sure if it was a real movie or some fever dream bullshit until like.. last year? When I looked it up and LO AND BEHOLD it is tragically real.


-------------------

And there we go; I probably accidentally didn't do some other tags... I'm so bad. FORGIVE. But thank you two for the tags here!!

I ain't tagging no-one; I'm far too exhausted to come up with questions anyway... Plus no-one takes them up on my open-ended offer so ~~~~~ no point.

Take care and best wishes! ^u^/
