Edgar Degas self-portrait, only done in ginger, oil on canvas

Congrats again to the winners, and a resounding “Thank you!” to all of you for being a part of this challenge.

As many of you know by now, I’m backing away from challenges and eventually, once I have my affairs in order, I will be leaving NC like many of my mentors have already done. I have already shut down and closed my other challenges until only this one remains… but this is a tough one to let go, so until I say my final farewell, this one will keep running! So don’t leave this one just yet… a new challenge will start soon!

I’d like to thank you all for sharing these fantastic pieces in this and in my previous challenges. If you’re a part of my other challenges, you know that I’m stepping away from challenges because I’m tired of the downvoting (when it happens), the disregard some people have with simple rules, and the ever-changing definitions of what is considered too NSFW to post. You can continue to follow me on Instagram and DeviantArt (links in profile).
