Celebration competition

There weren't enough votes in the theme voting to get an outright winner, so I decided to think of what united them. Christmas, the Rugby World Cup, New Year's Party, summer celebration... They are all celebrations! Let's celebrate all the things that have gone well over the year. The end of year exams will also be finished!

Submissions must be posted in this thread to count for entry. There is a maximum of 3 entries per person and a minimum of 3 people before voting can proceed. Entries will remain open until at least the end of 18 December. Voting will be open for all registered forum members from 19 to 25 December. On the 26th, we will announce the new Contest winner!

The competition is open for art, poetry and short stories. Written works should be fewer than 1000 words. All submissions must be PG-13. The contest winner's submission will be featured in The Arena's Hall of Fame and they will earn gold contest winner name until a new champion is crowned.

Ooh, it's not looking good for this competition. There's just under a week left! I'm hoping there will be a last-minute rush. Don't let me down!

I guess there's nothing to celebrate. :( Perhaps we'll see about something else in the new year.

You can always do anything! It's always good to see some new art from you.

So I've lost my tablets pen... it's somewhere in this room of mine I hope.

But I needed to get art out and I also needed to make a visual representation of how I feel moving forward to 2020.

2019 has been a horrible year. Defo in the top 3 worst years of my life.
Death. Cutting Ties. Losing Jobs. Moving too many times. Being Lost, losing myself and you know what. I made it through.
I considered ending it three times this year. I also legit lost my marbles. But I.Am.Here. And this year moving forward is the start of my future.

Moving into my more androgynous style my name will be Ray Ray Sunchyme. Doge and Ivic, two of my bestest furry and non furry friends often call me Ray Ray, and Sunchyme is my most favourite piece of music. It just fills me with joy. Also play on Ray of Sunshine which I am bitch :P

So here it is. This dragonfly is ready to fly.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible year but at least now you can leave it behind and look forward to something new. And if you made it through all of that, now you know you can make it through anything!

Also, I have to mention the weird coincidence. Your final design there on the right is quite similar to a picture I saw on Twitter today. Guess today is winged wolf day!

Thanks Trace :) I don't think any of us have had a particularly easy year, yourself included. But we stick together. I'm lucky to have so many of you as friends. Love you all and blessed be your 2020
