What's an art jam? In this case, folks just create art together based off of a given prompt.
It's not a competition and there's no judging. Just create freely and have fun!
We're accepting all types of art such as visual, musical, and written art for this art jam!
If you have any questions then feel free to ask.

(Make sure to screenshot your art and post here!)
🍇 Rules 🍇
1. Entries must be posted to this forum post in order to receive a ticket.
2. The art piece should relate to the prompt.
3. Please make an effort. We're all at different skill levels, but please no submitting low effort stick figures, scribbles, etc. just for the sake of ticket hunting.
4. Must be safe for work. If it's not appropriate to post on MyAnimeList then it's not appropriate for the art jam.
5. All entries should be created by YOU. No one else. To elaborate, this means no art stealing, no art borrowing, no commissioning, no asking someone else to draw your entry, and no A.I. generated work. Images, assets, creations, and so on of others should not be in the art you create. However, there are some exceptions to this rule including things such as direct collaborations (through our paintchat for example) or use of things such as existing images as small additions to a piece. Even then, the work should mainly be created from scratch by you. All that being said, whether an entry will be accepted or not will be at our discretion. Similarly with things like music, you may sample a little, but please make the majority of something like a track yourself.
6. Entries should be created during the art jam, not before.
7. Please mention whether you're okay with having your art highlighted or not! 8. Absolutely no pineapples. Bananas are on thin ice.

Here are all of the highlights of the art jam! How did we select them? If users answered whether they were okay with having their art highlighted or not, following rule seven, then they've been highlighted. If permission was edited in after I granted the ticket then I haven't seen it. These highlights are simply in order received (with one exception).
Everyone's works were amazing! Personally, I had no idea what this prompt would bring and I am honestly so in awe and even inspired by everyone's entries! Thank you so much for participating, and I really hope everyone had at least a little fun!
I like filling my head with something apart from the subject matter during long lectures. I can't help it sometimes. Now, for example, I'm reminiscing about my high school years. About the carefree early years, and how they slowly evolve into choosing a college and studying for entrance exams.
But there were bright spots amid all that gloom - my time with Chloe. We were classmates and, I like to think, best friends. Even though we both never said it out loud. Also, I love her. That, I also did not say out loud. Ever. I can at least be honest with myself in my head, though. I am such a miserable coward… We still keep in touch, however…
"Ms. Swanson, please pay attention. This will be on the upcoming test." The professor is as vigilant as ever and catches me with a vacant expression like he always does.
I felt someone nudging me at the elbow, whispering.
"Emily, you know he'll chew you out if you don't pass the test?" my friend reminded me.
"I know, Luke, I know. Ugh…" I whispered back.

On my way home from college, I noticed a peculiar billboard. It was some kind of a delivery service ad. It said "Auntie Jane's Fruit Delivery". There was a magical fairy with wings holding a basket with a variety of fruit. Her costume was green with some pink elements. I think she is cute.
Looking back on it, now I want some sweet sugary apples… Give me that iron, vitamin C and whatnot!
***
After coming home, I caved in and ordered some apples. After all, my dad always told me to eat fruit when I was little. I'm certain he won't mind if I spend my allowance on some premium fresh apples. I will pass the time by studying in the meantime…
"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang.
That was quicker than I expected. Well, better hurry and open the door! The apples lose their freshness every second!
"Auntie Jane's Fruit Delivery! Fresh"–the delivery person quickly looked at their tablet to check something–"apples for you!" With a strained smile, they handed the bag of nice apples to me. "We wish you a magical eveni…"
"Chloe? Is this you?" The words came out of my mouth on their own. The delivery person looks very much like her.
"Emily? Oh hi! Small world, is it?
Good to see you." She said, now with a warmer, gentle smile. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Didn't expect to meet you like this here. And in this fairy costume. Ha ha!" Her green and pink uniform had small wings and a green baseball cap. She gave me her usual look that said "look over your shoulder from now on". She didn't mean it, of course, but it shows that she doesn't like it. "It looks cute on you, though. Honest." I had to say it to make her feel better. And I really was honest.
"Oh come on, these loose pants are lame and what about those wings? Ugh! I look like a Halloween trick-or-treating kid! In April!" She complained. "I'm keeping this on the hush-hush because it's ridiculous!"
"Still, it looks better on you than you think." What am I saying?
"I hope so anyway. Ha ha!" The uniform is clearly making her self-conscious.
"Working part time?" I asked.
"Yes. I need some extra income now. I think"–she took a pause–"I'm gonna get married." She said quietly, smiling. "I want to pull my weight too, and show that I'm not a freeloader!" She added, proudly and with hands on her waist.
Inside me, something jolted and I felt as if a cold wind was blowing on my back. My peripheral vision darkened a little. On top of that, my facial expression must have changed. I have to say something to save myself!
"Oh, I'm so happy for you! He sure is a lucky guy!" I blurted out. This is the standard response, right?
"Um, it's a she." She corrected me, having averted her eyes down, almost seeming wounded.
"Oh, I.. I'm sorry, I didn't know." What?
"Ah, it's fine. Not the first time, really." She waved her hand off and smiled still. "If all goes well, we'll send you an invitation!" She winked playfully.
"Oh? I'm… looking forward to it." I had to put a smile on my face.
"How could I forget about my bestie from high school, right?" She grinned. Her tablet made a noise. "Oh crap crap crap! I have more stuff to deliver. I'm so sorry, I gotta go." She started to quickly step towards her delivery car, green and pink, like her uniform. "I'll text you later, ok?"
"Yeah, sure!" I tried to smile, waving her goodbye.
She got into the car and drove away. Fairies don't fly, apparently.

I like filling my head with something apart from the jumbled thoughts I have when I'm feeling down and anxious. I can't help it sometimes. Now, for example, I'm studying in my room to make up for the things I missed in class.
This evening sure is a memorable one. I'm still a coward. But I have apples now.
Beneath a tree like Aincrad’s glow,
The fruit fae spun their tasty show.
A cafe born from magic’s hand,
Much like Rimuru’s thriving land.
Strawberries sang with a hero’s cheer,
Bright as Subaru’s hope through fear.
Lemons fizzed with zest untamed,
Sharp as Tanya’s wit, well-aimed.
“Come, weary travelers, taste and see,
Our fruits rival treasures of Nazarick’s tree.
But break the rule, and you’ll surely freeze—
For Aqua’s tears won’t save you, please!”
I drew a Peach Fairy ruling her kingdom and being powerful! I spent a long time creating it!
Sorry, but A.I. generated art breaks rule five. The only exception is that you may directly collaborate with others, like in our paintchat, for example!
The fruit fairy demon with buff muscles wielding both holy fruit and corrupt fruit made in paint :) (no need to highlight my art my drawing skills aren't the best had fun though xd)
Here's my attempt at a drawing with a mouse
For some reason my photoshop just starts lagging really bad the longer I use it so I have to keep restarting it constantly... You can probably tell which parts of my drawing were done after my patience ran out. Didn't even bother with the background >.>
Should've just drawn on paper instead lol
No pineapples as specified. Only a small amount of banana slices used.
Showcasing is fine if you're fine with it
A fruit fairy flies down to you, assesses the minor banana situation, and eventually waves it off. Thanks for participating!
