Regarding when the Heritage Day Collab will be released, I wanted to get it done by Day of Reconciliation (Monday), but I’m gonna have to push it back (probably early Jan), for two reasons, the latter a causation of the prior:
1: I’m on holiday in Mauritius
2: I was a complete retard and forgot I was going to a different country with a different plug outlet, so I can’t charge my computer.
Sorry about that folk! See u then :))
Also, if you missed the deadline, don’t worry!, I’m very flexible, I’d love for you to take part :]
Are shops in the US covered from head to toe in Halloween stuff? Cus' I was in the shops today and there was a sign up for Diwali and whole bunch of Christmas stuff but not a single thing for Halloween. Also haven't seen any Halloween decorations on houses, but they're all locked behind walls anyway.. Halloween's not a big thing here at all.
I wonder why Christmas still has it's religious meaning but not Halloween? Most people don't even know it's a Christian holiday. The actual name of Halloween is "All Hallows-eve", which implies an All Hallows Day, which there is: 1st November (obviously), or "All Saint's Day"; a day to remember and praise the saints. Traditionally it's believed that on All Saint's Day the "membrane", if you will, between the Heavens and Earth is it's thinnest, thus on it's eve spirits are free to travel between the two, which is where the Halloween tradition comes from.
Honestly Halloween to me is more a siren to the start of November, if you know what I mean, more than anything else. I hope you had twice a fun Halloween on my behalf. No drawing or anything I'm starting to get busy with end of year exams. Here's a silly South Park clip I remembered when I was thinking about this Christmas-Halloween thing.
So called "free thinking artists" when everyone starts talking about BlueSky. Literally everyone's going on about it I thought I might as well. I never really used Twitter like ever, but I'm more into the deeper web anyway, so I'll probably start uploading all my new stuff there. Not backlog like I did with Twitter tho. I really don't care that much, nor does anyone else, and it's such a pain.
I’ve postponed the deadline for the Heritage Day Collab way off to December 13th, so I can post on the 16th, Day of Reconciliation. It’s annoying, but whatever. Gotta adapt.
Heritage Day is a South African public holiday celebrated on 24 September. On this day, South Africans are encouraged to celebrate their culture and the diversity of their beliefs and traditions, in the wider context of a nation that belongs to all its people.
Welcome to the Heritage Day collab! Celebrating the culture's not just of my nation, South Africa, but of all of the cultures of all of the nations of Newgrounds!!!
The brief is simple: Draw an OC in the traditional clothes of you're culture, and post it with the tag "heritage-day-2024". And don't forget to add what country it's from in the description! Subs must be E or T please.
All skill levels are welcome! Images must have a transparent background, and GIFs are HUGEELLLY welcome!!! (also with a transparent background)
Deadline is the 13th of December!! (I did want to post it on Heritage Day, but I left this way to late lol)
It took a while for Fulp to get round to adding it to the calendar, so the entries are only now starting to pick up, so I think there needs to be another week to get a proper amount of entries. Happy pikl drawing :))
I chose a bad date. It was too soon and also a week before Pico Day. Now there's much more time to submit, and it won't be in such a crowded time of year. Happy pickle drawing!! :))
