2024 DTIYS

As a celebration for hitting a huge 500 follower milestone on my Instagram, I hosted a draw this in your style (DTIYS) and challenged my followers to draw Seeks with the chance to win 1 of 3 prizes! 

The only rules were to include my character and try to keep the theme around a katana/ splatana and I must say, all the entries turned out terrific!

Now… I didn’t quite expect the turn out when it came round to it as between February 19th and April 8th I received a total of 40 entries which averages to almost an entry per day (plus 9 spare days). I cannot thank the participants enough for the huge outpour of support and so each entrant got their very own character sketch headshot drawn and coloured!
