Here's the roundup for last year's Sketchathons! This was run both here and on Bluesky. If you haven't participated before, this is a yearly holiday event I run where I draw OCs from anyone who submits one (so keep an eye out next Christmas if you're interested!)

Last year I received about 120 submissions total across Newgrounds and Twitter, with a roughly even split, but this year the amount went down by about half, with 29 from Newgrounds and 35 from Bluesky. The amount of submissions here might have dropped because the thread title was less obvious (last year's thread was titled "I will draw your OCs"), but I'm not going to complain about having to do less work; I was actually able to wrap everything up at the start of the new year!

Anyway, that's enough rambling. If you're interested in seeing the references that were submitted, they're collected in this newspost, and all the sketches can be found individually in this thread. For the Bluesky sketchathon, the submissions are in this thread, which the sketches are collected in this thread. FInally, here's the list of Newgrounds OC creators who participated:
