Yep~ Although I think fire starters are the ones I picked the least x3
Who would’ve guessed a big popufur known for drawing Blaziken would win?
I was very specific that I'd be choosing the winner for this one, it wasn't RNG, and 2 people won
If you wanna be mad, go ahead

I didn’t enter, but at that point, make it “mutuals only” if you want to be honest about it.
I get it, you want to generate a bigger audience by having your followers spread word of you, but you also want to plug yourself on bigger artists for clout from them and their followers. Totally understandable.

If I did, I wouldn't have been able to draw the second prize for a follower who's not a mutual
Note: This post is not directed at the artist for this image. It's regarding a general behavior seen elsewhere.
I'm not defending this practice, but it's unfortunately extremely common for artists to hold "raffles" to get free publicity despite hand-picking the winner (most of the time, they're predetermined before the initial post is even made).
It's insanely scummy baiting people into spreading a "raffle" they have no actual chance of winning. I honestly have no idea why people just overlook artist behavior like this so often. It directly rewards lying to your followers and promotes an inner circle pseudo-class system.

This is really what I felt. If you want to make fanart for people, go ahead, but don’t try to disguise it as a game.
They did have a chance to win the raffle. There were two prizes, and the second one is not a mutual, I liked their character so they won. I was specific in saying I'd hand-pick the winners with this one; I can also tell you someone else would have won instead if they didn't engage in some behaviour I couldn't encourage, but do what you will of this information, if you want to believe me or not.
Nevertheless, I obviously missed the mark with this type of raffle and I'm sorry if I caused more harm than good. Merry Christmas

No, there wasn’t. It’s not even a raffle. The problem with hand-picking a winner is that bias will work in a bigger user’s favor and Eau is hardly obscure in the Blaziken coomer community either. He’s fairly big for it on Twitter.
Even if I were to have participated and won... my character would have taken up like 3/4 of the picture lol
You wouldn’t have had enough followers and Twitter clout to win anyway.
