Fellow jellyfish lover!! You have SUCH a gorgeous and distinct artsyle (I loveeee rough watercolor/brush textures) so it's always a treat whenever you show up on my dash. You also have such an eye for capturing personality, like when you draw your ocs and even other people's skykids it's so neat to me that you can immediately tell what each of their vibes areโbut zooming in and reading all the text to find out more is very fun also :3
-
Writes really cool fanfics, most of which have stuck with me for literal years. I admire voi's work and takes on the sky world a lot; not only is he really creative with thinking of concepts, but is very thorough with applying them as well. Outside of voi's writing, is a great person to talk to and someone I look up to a lot.
-
I admire your writing skills SO much, like your fics and ideas are insanely cool! You're also one of the smartest and most levelheaded people I know :)

Truly one of the most underrated sky streamers out there! I haven't been able to catch your streams in a while, but the ones I did join left a lasting impression on me. You have one of the most welcoming personalities I've ever seen, and I have such an insane amount of admiration for how you're able to handle even the toughest of situations with patience and kindness. I hope 2025 will return all the comfort you've given to others, times a thousand ๐

I can't pick a favourite, he has so many funny memes that make me giggle. He's also just a chill guy to be around, very sweet, he deserves all the love. ๏ผ3 He has Insta too, I love his little drawings, his art is so good I wanna eat it, sustenance,,,,
-
Iโm very glad that I got to be there when he was still posting on YouTube. I stumbled upon his channel a few years back and was very entertained by his videos. His videos were funny and overall enjoyable to watch. I admire his type of editing skills showcased by the videos heโd post. I was very sad to see that he was quitting YouTube since I really loved his kind of videos and funny content. Iโm grateful that he didnโt delete his channel instead kept it for others (like me) to watch or rewatch.
-
They haven't uploaded in forever but like I used to watch their videos for a good laugh. I love the "I did ___ but with only a table" videos

Empire Moths is probably the best written sky fanfic I've ever read. Changed my brain chemistry definitely!
-
One of my longtime besties :) your hcs are always god-tier and I love your storytelling SO much. i also love when your comics and stuff come with little explanation infodump comics because I think it's cool to see your creative process and how many layers of thought go into everything.
Coral
-
This one is perhaps a bit more personal, but it is a small creator who talks about her own sky characters, her style is very rounded and adorable, if you like to follow the stories of other people's original characters it is a blog that I highly recommend.
-
Hi you funny af bro idk what to tell you LMAOO i love your animations like i know you havent posted sky animation yt videos this year but tbh your work brought me out of my slump and inspired me to create even more sky content as well as my sky ocs..,.., which i have expanded on even more on this year so i'm grateful for you..... existing LMAO
-
You drew my little sky character so you automatically get a shoutout heehee! (plus your art is super cute!)
Darkdog
-
I've been following them since before they started drawing sky stuff, I admire all the art they do and honestly they've always been my inspiration, lately they haven't been drawing much sky content but everything they've drawn over time makes me think they deserve a mention here.
Ebi

Their art has grown a lot since I met them last year, they have motivated me and others to make their own stories.

Your ocs designs are always so beautiful, and i hope i can read more about them soon!!! (No hurry tho :D)
-
There's so much I want to say about their characters, but so little words! They always have some sort of lore about their OCs in their stories and their posts that I enjoy reading through. The same goes for their style! It's unlike others that I've seen before. I hope to see more of what they have in store for their silly creatures! :]
Elyoth

Everything he does is great, colorful, expressive and he also handles several drawing styles, it is always a blessing to see his art when he publishes something.

Hello
-
My inspiration, my top favourite, every single art brings me joy and increases my admiration. For such an artstyle that i love very much, i look forward to any kind of art either sky or not from you, including your music art. Even seeing your skykid makes me happy, i have cosplayed as you a couple of times. My comfort artist ever ๐ชผโค๏ธ
-
Of course, the good ol' Icha! We don't interact as much anymore, but I will always be amazed every time their art appears on my page. From the colors to the composition, it seems like they've nailed everything in their art. Oh, and of course, their silly OCs will always be a joy to see! I look forward to what else they create and host for the Sky community in the future. :]
Hishoi

We must not underestimate traditional artists and Hishoi has a very soft, round and warm art. She draws her sky characters and has a small comic that is a caress to the heart. Very soft.

I'm so happy I got to know you better this year! I had seen a couple of your posts before but man I LOVE your teth hcs. It's really cool to see elder hcs that are unique and really out there, especially for teth. You also draw the other elders with so much love and care that I consider you one of the top elder enjoyers.

They have TikTok too but I watch them more frequently on Twitch. They're just chill to watch and their energy is uplifting. They're great

Their memes are hilarious, well drawn too. They seem like a professional animator, it's awesome

Their art is very nice, the way they draw the expressions is great, also their sky characters that have an interesting story
-
You have so many really neat ocs, but my absolute faves from you are your creature art! Your headcanons are so neat and you can really see all the thought you've put into the worldbuilding.
-
One of my all-time most cherished friends ๏ผ3 You're such a wonderful person and so insanely supportive, plus you have SUCH good hcs that blow me away every time!! I think what I admire the most about you is that you're absolutely everywhere. Like any time I lose track of a piece of art I really liked or want to see what's new I know it's on your blog. Plus to be here representing priestess nation until now (and almost definitely for the rest of time) is such an incredible feat of strength. It makes me smile every time I see "commission for Lis" on priestess art because I just know that artist got sent paragraphs of every bit of lore in your priestess archives. Truly you are the most powerful sky enjoyer of all time.
-
We don't interact often, but I've always appreciated their support of my work, Sky related or not! As for them, their style is incredible. They've definitely got to be one of my favorite artists by far on Instagram, for everything that they create is so well designed, clean cut, and one of the most dynamic.
:]
-
I was literally waiting all month to get to add you to this list and I'm actually shocked and appalled no one else got to it before me!!! Your videos are so fun and have so much personality! I adore your little googly eyes and the neverending torment of Danny P
๏ผ:)
-
The first time i saw ur art it changed the chemistry of my brain
-
I've adored your art and especially your king hcs for a while now, so when you invited me to reshcord out of the blue I was like WHOAH!! I pretty much just lurk these days but I love seeing more of your sketches and thoughts and stuff on there, I think you have really cool ideas :)
Moon
-
I truly appreciate everything you do for Sky community. Love how your contents are straightforward and comprehensive, you're definitely my go-to for quick and reliable Sky updates. Thank you, Moon!
-
It's hard to pick a fav but if I had to, I'd have to say the stream highlights part 2 video, the thumbnail has *speedy noises* on it. It made me laugh so hard ๐ญ I just love their videos in general, their memes are funny and I like their edits. They're also a system which is really interesting to me! I like learning about it.
They have YouTube too, I watch them more on TikTok but they have a video up of one of their stream's highlights and it makes me giggle so I'm putting them here too.
The only other Sky creator I watch on Twitch is Noxi too so.... Them too! Same username, but they haven't streamed in a while, hoping to see them come back soon
^-^
-
You're such a wonderful person to talk to and I LOVE hearing about your hcs especially when it comes to Lamed. Like AUGHH I feel like there arent enough words for the feeling your art gives me but it's always so lovely and heartwarming ๏ผ3 every time you post I know my heart is going to get shattered into ten million billion tiny pieces.

AH YES, the masters of world building, should I say something? their characters are fun and their ideas are very creative, I admire them from a bright corner because they probably know I'm there.

Your art is super-duper cool! One of my inspiration artstyles for sure! Plus your sky lore headcanons are super cool too!

Nano usually draws only small and cute things, but from time to time they bring out their true potential and I sincerely adore both sides of their art, their little silly doodles and their masterpieces
Nastymold

Can't have a creator appreciation for Sky without including them of course! Their content is so helpful and I relied on it a lot back in my early moth days, I'm an old vet now
-
Your daily quest and event currency guide videos have been invaluable to my directionally challenged and scatterbrained self!
-
I really love nastymold for helping me out during my 1 year of playing sky! Thank you very much for all the tips and tricks!
-
Although I no longer watch her videos anymore due to my Sky inactivity, I've always appreciated all the dedication and work behind all of her content! Her creating those daily guides, assisting in the Aurora season, and overall being one of the most foundational creators of the Sky community has always been an important part of my journey through the game.

They haven't posted in ages but I love their cute animations!

I adore seeing your character designs, every single detail is absolutely beautiful and the general look of the characters ends up being sooo perfect, its amazing how you can put so many details while still having characters still looking relatively simple, great work!!!

YOUR COLORS!!! And oh my god YOUR BACKGROUNDS!!! insane artist fr fr

Your work is just so cozy man idk..,, so peaceful.,., it really fits the feeling of sky and whatnot,. the composition and colors are everything .,. i remember seeing this artwork i put here and was taken aback because of the shot,. it felt like i was in it which is really good!! keep doing what you're doing :3 your work is beautiful

They already know what I think and they will know it's me, but GOD HOW I LOVE THEIR ART, the SHAPEEES. If you like funny drawings of Assembly or Passage spirits, this is your blog.

U draw facial expressions so well i sometimes stare at ur art to figure out how
Rain

They are an artist who does a bit of everything, they don't post very often but their art is cute and their content is worth following, they can also post silly doodles and suddenly BOOM a masterpiece
-
It was difficult choosing a favourite drawing from you bc all your posts are so beautiful. Your clean and crisp lineart is def my absolute fav thing from your art, but the way you color is so atmospheric. I hope you can have a happy and most important of all safe 2025

Honestly I just looked up to them a lot when I first found their profile a couple years ago. I still do but not as much as when I was a moth, they're a very nice person ๏ผ3

Not many sky artists work fully in traditional, and we honestly need more people like you bc your art is so beautiful even with the constraints of traditional art! Your creativity is unmatched, and i hope to know more about your sky charachters through more story related posts!!!

I like this artist's use of vibrant colours and way of lighting!

Tac I could not stand by and watch you get left out of this, you've drawn 95% of all the sah art i've seen in my life and not only that you've drawn 95% of the craziest most insane sah art i've ever seen in my life. You have such an insane talent for color, detail, and symbolism, like every time you post I'm taking notes because WOW
The Weekly Light
-
I don't know if this counts, but I admire this blog because it is the work of several people, only moved by the love of the game, the collaboration to make a newspaper is something that goes a lot with the idea of helping each other that sky wants to transmit, weekly light team, I want you to know that I am proud of all of you.

Their work of the skykids are literally so magical even though the composition is relatively simple,,.,the colors and form are always so pretty,,., i get so excited whenever they post even their non-sky related works LIKE OMG THEYRE ALL SO GOOD HELLO???!!? LIKE OTHERWORLDLY...
And that wraps up all the messages and creators that were submitted for 2024!
HOWEVER!
Don't think I've forgotten you, dear reader. Since you've made it this far and checked out the page, youโyes, youโwere also very special to the community this last year, and it would be absolutely criminal to leave you out. Whether you were a creative not included on this list, one of the many wonderful people who submitted messages, or someone who just loves the Sky community as much as I do, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this community special.
I know it's very easy to get caught up in negativity. There will always be burnout and community drama and other miserable things that even I've found myself dragged into over the years. But it's running projects like this that help rekindle what I love most about this game and the people who play it. When all the novelty of being a moth wears off and you've finally explored every nook and cranny of the game's world, it's the creativity of others that keeps the magic alive. I love reading about people's OCs, their headcanons, their AUs and short stories. I love seeing people grab the "up to interpretation" lore and start running like hell in whatever direction they like. I may not have had much as time or energy as I would have liked to spare for the game itself this last year, but the wider community outside of it is what still kept me involved and excited for what's to come.
Something I've learned in 4 years running my channel is that it's immensely important that we make people aware of how much they mean to us. I cannot overstate the insane amounts of bravery it takes to put yourself out there and post the things you've made to an audience, and it's only when you begin to get comments like the little butterfly messages above that you realize people see and appreciate the amount of love and effort you've put in. I can only really speak for myself, but there were so many messages that left a smile on my face through even the toughest parts of the last year. It's my sincere hope that I can inspire more of that kindness through things like SCA.
That said, this project was a very long labor of love on my part, but it would have been impossible without your support. To everyone who submitted their kind thoughts and messages, and even to those who quietly liked and shared the form for others to see, thank you so much for all your help! The first time I did this project back in 2023 it was very last-minute. It had been a rough year, especially for creatives feeling cast out and underappreciated by generative AI and social media policy changes, and I wanted to run a little submission form for the last two weeks to spread a bit of joy. Never in a million years did I expect the kind of turnout I ended up getting, and it was such a wonderful experience that I knew for a year like 2024 I needed to give this my all. All the time spent planning, designing, editing, and writing this last month as I collected responses was more than worth it, and I'm so happy you all entrusted me with making something special for your favorite people. I hope you all had as much fun participating as I did!
So thank you all again for participating in my little project. And who knows, maybe you'll meet some new people this year you'd like to submit next time ;)
โ Bea
So, want something to keep your butterflies in?
First, a bit of background.
I spent countless hours last month brainstorming a way to make this project seem a bit more tangible, like a little token from me (and some helpful butterflies) to you. As much as I would like to, I obviously don't have the means or funds to be able to ship something to every individual in the showcase, so this idea is something of a compromise. If you have a printer and enjoy fiddling with a craft project, this part is for you!
BEHOLD
my magnificent
Custom Jar Builder
(computer strongly recommended but should be functional on all devices)
For each section in this showcase I have created a QR code that will basically act as the knockoff STAR feature for that creator's jar. Once the jar is assembled, the lid can be taken off to scan the code and "release your butterflies" (take you to that section of this website to read the messages, but that sounds less magical I'm sorry).
For those readers who would just like to do the craft without a code, a blank jar type is also available.
find the assembly guide (not the spirit) hereFor those of you not into crafting, or that don't have a printer, or that have any other reason for my wonderful custom jar builder not suiting your needs: worry not! I have something special for you also.
BEHOLD AGAIN
my (hopefully) equally magnificent
Custom Plaque Builder
(download button may not work on iOS devices)
I've designed this little square placard to be used pretty much any way you'd likeโpost it, print it, the choice is all yours. Like the jar, this will also link to any section of the page you'd like.
And that just about concludes this showcase! Thank you so much for supporting this project, and thank you again for making 2024 special. This site was so much fun to make so I hope you all found something in it to enjoy :)
