Everything goes as usual: as soon as I plan something - something happens. This time I just got sick with fever and cough (and now my back hurts after a week in bed!), so instead of October 1st, I'm starting now. So what! :D
UPD October, 14: Better slow and steady than never. Sorry, my pace is extremely slow right now, but worst case scenario I'll just finish it in November — I like my ideas too much :)
UPD October, 31: Vampire Vanessa has been raffled off, the winner is number 7. She will be a character in a comic book - nice ^_^
Unfortunately, my physical health problems turned out to be more serious than I thought. Now I've been prescribed cute heart-shaped pills (for heart problems, which is logical), and they allow me to sit and work for at least a couple of hours a day. I do not know what will happen next, the doctor's appointment is next week with all the tests.
I'm very nervous about this situation, so for now I'll just keep doing this challenge from the list. Minor changes: the normal SB will be valid for the whole of November, and the fixed price from December.
Wish me good luck and good health! ❤

Rules:
1. Advent calendar concept in Halloween theme. Every day in October one adoptable slot will be "opened" and the character will be put up for auction.
The first time - for 3 days with a 10-20% discount from SB, if not sold - I'll restart the auction in October with normal SB. Starting November 3 all unsold adopts will be at a fixed price (SB x 1.5-2).
This is a little motivation for you to buy them quickly ;)
2. The usual rules apply to each auction/adoption: full prepayment via Boosty/Hipolink/Lavatop (using PayPal or bank card) must be made within 48 hours, payment plans are available for bids > $100, no refunds for purchased adoptables.
3. The theme for each day, the character's gender, and 18+ are indicated in the table above. If you are interested in a particular theme, you can easily check my profile on the relevant day and decide whether you want this adopt. If, like me, you love spoilers and can't resist the pleasure of peeking in advance to see what's there, here's a link for you: https://hipolink.net/velerada/produ.....adoptober-2025
Inside, you will find the complete list (not just 1-2 code words), a mood board for each character, and text descriptions of some of them. I will update these materials, adding sketches, WIPs, and final images as I work on them.
4. My goal is first and foremost to have a good time and enjoy myself, so I plan to experiment and try new techniques. Don't be alarmed if something is very sketchy or too... strange for me.
Also, please don't take the moodboards too seriously — I have a picture in my head for each adopt, and these collages include references to specific details, palettes, silhouettes, and vibes. It's not about mixing these pictures into the adopt, it's about my visual description of what this adopt is like :)
5. My relationship with time and my own body is a sad story, so I can only promise to try very-very hard to open new adopts at the same time (~21.00 UTC+3).
6. Adopt for October 31st will be raffled in a lottery. I will open it on October 7th, and all the information will be under it. The raffling will take place on Furaffinity and Deviantart at the same time, I will assign numbers in the comments, and on the 31st I will determine the winner using https://www.random.org
7. I use end-to-end numbering for all the adopts I've drawn, so here's #51-81, don't pay attention to it :)
