I love my watchers, but it is becoming harder to thank each individual person for helping me out. So, I've decided to hold a contest, as a way of saying thanks. It's not much, but I figure it's a small way of giving back to the people who have supported me and helped me get to where I am today.
THE CONTEST
The theme is very simple. Create a piece of artwork involving any of my birds. It can be one of them, two of them, all of them, one of them and one of yours together, anything. It can also be any medium. Drawing, photo-manipulation, poetry, crafts, anything! If you create something that absolutely blows me away or that I can't help but love, I may be tempted to buy it. If you're not sure whether or not your idea qualifies, you can note me.
Here are some reference pictures of my birds, and a bit of info that may be helpful about each. The more inventive you are with this, the better! If you'd like a certain angle on picture, let me know and I can try and get one for you.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The contest will be judged a little weirdly. Because I am not a fan of popular vote contests (I feel they can be swayed too easily towards someone with more watchers), and also I don't want any bias of my own coming into play, I will be asking for the help of some close friends and family members in deciding who wins. That way, I can keep it completely neutral. They won't know who you are or anything about you, and you will be judged solely on what you created!
Also, I am sorry for the ME2 reference in the Prize section. I shouldn't have... but the priiizzee.

Life Updates, Both Old and New
Hey all!
What's this? An actual journal entry? Almost three years later? Yes.
I am alive and well, just busy. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Literature last year, and currently work full-time as a writer for a tech marketing company. I have spent a good deal of time travelling the last few years, which is something I wanted to do for a long time but was never able to afford in the past. My partner George and I bought our first house together in November. We picked a cabin in the mountains, which has been fantastic for reconnecting with my love of nature and wildlife after so many years living in apartments in an obnoxiously crowded and bu
Update
Hello everyone,
It's been quite a while since I've posted here! Up until recently I've been incredibly busy and I was having trouble finding inspiration to create any new work of my own, aside from what I was commissioned to draw. I'm feeling a bit more inspired lately, so I'm hoping I'll have some new work to share with you soon. Thank you all for still following me after such a long absence on my part... I have always found wonderful support in the DeviantArt community!
That being said, I feel like I have too many social media pages to even keep up with everyone. So, unfortunately, I think you'll find me a little difficult to get a hold o
internet issues
Hey all,
Just posting to let you know, after a string apartment issues I've had to move and am once again awaiting internet installation!
In the meantime, the Caturday contest will stay open. I'll draw the winner as soon as I have easy internet access again.
Thanks for your patience!

Well...
As usual, I pulled a bit of a Houdini for a while, but I am back now :P
I was without internet since early June, as I moved into my own place. I had some activity on Instagram and Facebook since they are easy to use on a mobile device, but Deviantart wasn't so easy and therefore got left behind. I want to thank everyone for the kind birthday wishes, albeit two months late; I was initially trying to send a thank you message to every one of you, but it ended up being a little too time-consuming. I hope no one minds!
Anyway, I am back online and I have a few drawings to share with you all, and hopefully more to come. And I am also happy to ann
