`stuck-in-suburbia made a couple of awesome stamps for the OCtopus army. Be sure to check them out and use them if you wish :love:

Lil' octopus .... DOOT DOO

Octopi Giveaway


I came back from uni this afternoon and after receiving the points from my latest round of commissions, found that I now have enough to purchase a second super group subscription for #Emotication. Personally this amazes me. I never thought the OCtopi would hit off this much and people would be so generous. I was happy when I reach the first subscription, and I'm just so excited that we've been able to double that and the group will now stay subscribed until 2014. So a massive thank you to you, the community.

To celebrate, I'm holding a mini giveaway. I understand that not everyone can afford the 80 points for a custom avatar, so I'm going to give away 3 free OCtopi avatars to 3 random deviants. To enter into this random draw draw an OCtopi using Muro in the comments of this journal

Some simple rules:
:bulletred: The contest will closes Sunday 25th March at 11.59pm BST (GMT+1)
(countdown here: [link] )
:bulletorange: The winners will be picked at random from the selection of entries. You must draw a OCtopi to be entered, but the quality will have no effect on the winner
:bulletyellow: You can only enter the contest once
:bulletgreen: Anyone can enter, but the person receiving the avatar can't already have a custom OCtopi. If you already have one and win, you must give the prize away
:bulletblue: Be creative and make me smile :)

OCtopi update


Having reached my goal of a second super group subscription for #Emotication I've decided to alter the destination of any future points earned through the commissions. Any additional points earned or donated will now be put towards a future contest or giveaway event for the emote community. As this has always been a community focussed event it seems wrong to keep additional points for myself, so they will still be used on the emote community, just in a slightly different way.

If you wish to make a donation towards some future giveaway/contest, feel free to send the points to ~Syns-Stuff

On a slightly different note, we have now reach 60 OCtopi army members :evillaugh:

I tried doing myself, and... I turned out okay. Are you picking randomly or based off of how good it looks? O__o

Nope. Anyone that draws an OCtopus (of any standard) will be give a number and then I'll randomly generate the winning numbers

Zomg. That is soooooo adorable :iconeeeeeplz:


=SparklyDest came up with the original idea of OCtopi. She crocheted an octopus (a croctopus) and it wasn't long before people started asking for custom ones of their OCs and the idea of crOCtopi was born. =SparklyDest then created some pixel versions known as OCtopi for birthday gifts for other deviants.

Wind forward to now, and =SparklyDest's birthday came up and I decided as a gift I would pixel my own version of her OCs as OCtopi. The result looked kinda cute, and I thought it would be nice to have my own version as an avatar. People started to complement me on it, so I thought it would be nice to open up commissions to raise points for a new #Emotication sub, and the idea quickly caught on xD
