Kiriban Caught

Well, I'd like to congratulate Azurah for being the ninja-most of all my stalkers! Just comment here with the URL of your ref, and I'll be working on your reward whenever I can get to it.  I'd also like to give honorable mention to Maxer, who caught the pageview but was unfortunately second to post it.  Don't worry though, if I ever get around to drawing stuff those of you who comment on my blog, I will keep you in mind, Max, for coming so close. <3 Been in that situation before and I know it sucks to get so close and still lose.  I'm usually online with half a bar of internet stolen from my neighbor's Wi-Fi, lol, so slow, glitchy internet is something I know all too well.  Needless to say, I can sympathize.  I really appreciate all of you lurkers who read my stuff and were hoping to catch that kiriban.  But hey, I have good news! There are more opportunities for free art on the way.  That's right, keep reading...


The next kiriban is set at 5,000 pageviews.  It's a huge jump, I know.  But I start college in less than a month and I have other things to worry about before art.  But it seems like a notable number to me, so catch that one, same rules as last time, and claim your prize.


Though if luck and timing isn't your thing, here's another chance at art based mostly on determination.  What do you have to do? In order to be considered for this one, you have to be a follower of my blog.  Not just a lurker, you literally have to sign up or connect with an account elsewhere, doesn't matter, so long as you appear on my blog followers.  I want an accurate idea of who is reading my stuff.  It's no fun writing to a blank wall, or at least that's what it feels like sometimes.


Once you're following my blog, just read and comment.  Don't spam pointless comments, but try to offer insightful or lightly-opinionated feedback.  By that, I mean I would love to hear your ideas about what I should write about or have written about, or comments about events and the like I've covered, so long as you aren't too negative about the site or its members.  This is an extended contest that will probably be held monthly or bi-weekly.  I'll have exact dates decided on the next entry probably.  At the end of each allotted time period, I will give one headshot to the person who commented the most and another headshot to the person with the most detailed or useful comments, regardless of amount.  So quantity or quality, take your approach.  If I decide that the most frequent commenter also has the best quality, the reward with be a fullbody piece of art.


Also, I'd love to hear your ideas for other things I can do with my blog to keep the readers enticed.  I was considering some sort of referral system, but I need to work out the kinks.  Users would have to let me know who told them to check out my blog, and both parties would have to follow me, and so on.


So much more to come, stay tuned.
