      Requesting on multiple websites

      By Lola. · Posted

      Hello!    It has come to our attention that there were instances of people who request a graphic on several websites at the same time. We feel like it may result in artists filling the request simultaneously and their time being wasted when some of the graphics are not used.    To reflect that, there's been an update to the request form, we added the following line:   Additionally, the requesting rules have been updated:   Thank you!

      Skins Update

      By Lola. · Posted

      We're back after a very speedy maintenance! We updated the skins (again...) and what it means to you is that   1. We had to retire TDA 2018 - Winter skin 😞 It was outdated and we are very sorry for the inconvenience to those who were using it!   2. If you were using a skin that is not the Default TDA 2020 - PINK skin, you may need to choose the desired skin again. You can do so by scrolling aaaaaall the way to the bottom of the page and clicking on "Theme" button.   3. The edit button is where it belongs, next to the quote button! Woo!   4. As always, if you see any bugs, please report them here+ or PM me directly. Please include a screenshot, my brain is very basic and only works with pictorials

      soooo not sure how i haven't seen your gallery before with all my lurking of the veteran artist galleries and with the new graphics you've been posting around but just wanted to come and leave a quick comment to say that your work is STUNNING. when the page loaded i had intended to leave a more detailed post with more specifics but i'm not really trying to write the great american novel here so WOW i just love everything. i love how you pair softer coloring with more vibrant pops of color most of all, and i love how cohesive the 7 deadly sins banner set is. 😍   can't wait to see more new stuff from you! audrey✨
