EndeavorFund: An anti-bullying campaign (Patreon)

Hey all! This month has been insane. I couldn't stand a whole month with no convention, so decided to fill the space with an anti-bullying commission fundraiser. Generations Against Bullying is an organization that promotes education to youth about standing up against bullying, being an "upstander" rather than a "bystander". They have worked with Ponyville Ciderfest and Whinny City Pony Con in the past, and I got in touch with them at Whinny City about collaborating on this event together. From our chats, they seem absolutely enamored by the community, and I'm proud to say that we have raised over $500 in the past week!! And it's not even over yet!

If you're interested in reading up on this event, please check out this link; I've assembled a doc for details on what we are offering, and a schedule of livestreams we will be hosting this next weekend!

IN ADDITION: I used Patron funds to buy some merchandise for the charity, so all 20+ Patrons will receive a free sticker with their current package, and any leftover Endeavor charms and lanyards will be made available as a 50+ reward when they come in! Thank you all so much for the support. Every dollar makes these activities possible, and the support as a whole means the world to me.

Here is some artwork before I get too cheesy! Enjoy! <3

Below: two quick reference sheets I whipped up for the Endeavor mascots!

Sunspot, the eldest of these two sisters. Passionate and protective, wild and ambitious. Think Merida from Brave!

Quick ref sheet for Moondrop! Younger sister, clever and witty, laidback and easygoing. Yes, that is a candy bracelet, and yes, she does wear those during formal occasions. They're delicious.

Sunspot bust <3 I'm not sure if y'all can tell, but drawing freckled characters for BABSCon has made me really (REALLY) partial to freckles... :D

Moondrop bust! For their formal wear, the princesses wear laurel crowns, with Sunspot traditionally wearing gold and Moondrop wearing silver. I didn't know that while drawing this piece though, so Moon has gold here ;P

The acrylic charms! I was debating making Sunspot and Moondrop into one charm, with one gal on one side and the other on the flipside; and the designs would have worked that way. But I decided to test out making their outlines transparent (the black "outline" you can see around Sunny here), and I know that people often like to choose characters, and these two have plenty of contrast.

And fancy Moondrop! Both charms say "Endeavor" on one side, and have different expressions on their opposing sides.

Below is one of the first collaborations I drew for this charity, with my friends Scuba Drew and Sax Guy!! Sax drew the sketch and lineart for Sunspot, along with adding the text and assembling the full layout; Scuba Drew took and provided the lovely sunset photograph; and I added the shading on Sunspot!
