Hello dears and a very warm welcome! I hope the day has treated you well! A bit of an early upload but with Skyward’s new redesign finally complete I simply can’t wait to start drawing her again, I thought I would open up the floor for all of you to join in on the fun all as well! The objective of which is create a piece featuring Skyward. She can be doing anything, be anywhere, and interacting with anyone, though please try to keep her in character if at all possible. I was really hoping to gives a lot of artistic freedom and room for interpretation so please just have fun with it! Please click above for a link to all contest rules, prizes, and details. It will be so exciting to see what everyone comes up with and I can’t wait to hear from you!  
Onwards and Upwards~Skyward
