Anybody else finding themselves anxious for the next derby preview update? With all this stay-at-home time on my hands, I find myself checking the site frequently, hoping for a sneak peak so I can get rolling on designs! Haha!
Hope all are doing well, and the same can be said for your loved ones!
I’m working on it!! But let’s use this as an opportunity to get some feedback! What are some derby themes you’d like to see?!?!

Wanted to thank @Lady5tark for choosing the theme of The Blues. Honestly, some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a theme! So much room for creative interpretation. Makes me crave more similar challenges in the future…color-related challenges in particular.
Can’t wait to sub my designs tonight! (giddy)
Bumping this thread since there’s no new theme posted yet, and it has lots of possible theme ideas within.
=)
Rabbits
Penguins
Turtles
Ninjas
Pirates
Sarcasm
Procrastination
Anti-sports sports
books
elitist self awareness
sci-fi
cute animals doing mundane things
ironic outdoor/wilderness
negative space wilderness
quotes from movies used inappropriately…
music
Did I miss anything? LOL
I vote for “Did I miss anything? LOL”
That’d be a fun derby

Might be even harder than the out of context one. I like it.
Are you TRYING to hurt me?
Just bumping this thread in case inspiration is needed for the new derby theme…

Really like the Retro Styles one…would be fun, and potentially cut down on the exhausting overabundance of Mandalorian stuff.
May need to do a “no star wars” add-on to it…
Would love to add example of specific retro styles. Makes me feel old when some goes all 80’s as a retro style…
I love the artwork of this guy.
