Art:December Doodles 2023

From YPPedia

The December Doodles is an event formerly run by Apollo. In 2012, the format changed from daily weekday events to twice-weekly due to time constraints; this format has continued ever since.

December (not daily) Doodles 2023 [1] is the (how many???) annual December Doodles event. It was notable for being the first Daily Doodles event held on the official Discord and continued briefly into January. It was hosted by Nemesis.

Shiny Sun Points weren't awarded as additional prizes this time.
