Who's Wren?

A mysterious and sometimes chaotic half-elf/half-fox mage from another world, Wren is doing her best to understand this world by creating Youtube videos playing mainly Genshin Impact while also trying to find a way home! That said, she's not exactly in a hurry...

FAQs:
"Can I use (insert art app)?"
Yes! All digital art platforms are allowwed, as well as traditional art (as long as you can scan it to a decent quality!)"No theme?"
No theme! Feel free to draw me in any environment or situation (as long as it follows the rules)! If you would like a specific theme, feel free to make it birthday themed!"Do you have favorite characters?"
If art includes Soshiro Hoshina from Kaiju No 8, Wanderer from Genshin Impact, and/or Dan Heng from Honkai: Star rail... I can't guarantee you win but u might get a smooch (consensually, of course)"Can I use poses/models on Pinterest?"
As long as it's free to use, or is a real life person pose, go ahead!"Can it be animated?"
Of course! If you're submitting an animation, please be aware it may not be able to win first prize, as ability to be converted into merch will play a role in judging. HOWEVER, if an animation is submitted and qualifies for first place, it may instead be added as a credited inclusion in my videos ! In that case, 2nd place would be eligible for merch.
