The Drawntlet is a month-long activity that encourages artists and writers to challenge themselves as well as develop positive creativity habits. The goal is to create a unique piece each day, based on one of the provided prompts. This activity welcomes both art and writing, and will run in lieu of our usual Creative Circles this month.

We are excited to announce our annual Drawntlet activity, beginning July 1st and running throughout the month! :D

• Changed the prize for being spotlighted to a Lucky Envelope instead of a Bag of Wonders.
• No other major changes this year.
  • We’d still like to figure out a more streamlined submission process, but we will have to focus on developing that for next time — this year’s submission process will be the same as last year.  As always, there will be a feedback form available at the end of the activity, and we encourage all participants to share their thoughts with us there! 

• Players who complete all 31 days of the Drawntlet will receive a New Document Frame and New Canvas Frame (both by Nonny)!

Yaaay, I’m excited! I feel like I’ll be able to actually keep up this year. <3

I’m a smidge intimidated by week 3’s redux challenge, but I guess I’ll see what happens. Maybe I’ll take a week of prior drawntlet entries and rework under the povs of different characters? Could that be considered as reworking? It wouldn’t really be improving. These are both challenges I’ve avoided in previous years, but they’re both on the same week this year. ^^;;

_{psst Crow, the threads for weeks 2 - 5 don’t have the alt word banks and themes, only week 1 does.}

Uhh, I’m excited as well!
I feel the same about the week 3 challenge as I’m neither a redux nor a tribute kind of person, but if the ‘rework’ is meant in a wide sense I might be able to come up with something…

Also, I have a quick question regarding the price categories: do activity items also fall under the ‘event item’ category? Because there’s an activity item from before the time I joined that I would really love to get my hands on

raus As long as you’re revisiting an old piece and working on it again, I think that should be fine! Previous drawntlet entries written in a different POV sounds like a rework to me. :D

And the prompt banks for other weeks have just been added in, sorry for the delay on that!

Nebelleben Yes, activity items fall under the “event item” category!

Thanks Cien!

I actually have one additional question, since I can’t find it in the rules for this year. I feel like in prior years, there was a limit on 2 prompt bank words used per week. Is that a thing this year, or can we potentially replace as many of that week’s words with that week’s prompt replacement words as we want/need? _{or maybe I am misremembering?}

raus No limit on alternate prompts! :D

General update, the submission page should now be updated and correct for 2024!

That would be fine!

For week 3
“Tribute - create pieces of, or including, other peoples’ characters. This includes both fanart and gift art.”
Can this be OCs that aren’t from Mycena Cave?

My health comes in fits and starts. I do the art when I can. I’m scared my health won’t let me finish so I do as much when I feel well. Sorry if I go ahead too much.

Yes, it can! The Drawntlet has no restrictions on OC usage in general, so all of your pieces could be of off-site OCs and it would still be fine.

Cien Omg, thank you so much! I did not expect that! * o *

Though, I thought this year’s spotlight reward was a Lucky Envelope! :‘o

Oh, wow thank you!
Also I’d like to echo Lullaby’s question. It does say it’s a lucky envelope on the Drawntlet page.

Oh gosh, that’s my mistake! I’m still on auto-pilot with what we did last year. x__x Thank you for pointing that out!

Desrasaela, Azurrys, Runarite, Featherfoot, Lullaby, and Nobo - apologies for the second ping! If you would like to swap out the BoW for a Lucky Envelope, send it to the Bone Monster and give me a ping here and I’ll get you the Lucky Envelope. It was my error, so if you would prefer to keep the BoW, you may do so!

Going forward, the prize will be the Lucky Envelope (for real this time), as stated on the Drawntlet page!
