Munchies of the Year
The results of 2022’s Munchy of the Year competition are in! This time the competition was a little different and unfortunately there were no polls for newcomers or specific gamemodes, however bonus polls were added for the MOTYs and Media Admins who made the biggest impact in 2022 along with the community’s favorite events. I look forward to seeing which of you contribute your best to our community this year and make it into the 2023 MOTY!

Official Clans Guide
Munchy’s Clans system is a prominent feature across the network, but for a while there wasn’t a complete explanation of it or a clarification of the rules. This has now changed and you can view the official guide and rules pertaining to clan features here.

◈ 1.19 Combat Test
On January 29th another 1.19 KitPvP testing session was held, after the last testing session many things were tweaked to feel more like the current state of KitPvP.
If you attended the testing session, we’d highly appreciate it if you could leave feedback as this can help us achieve a better player experience.

Community Art Highlights! 
We’ve off to a strong start this year with many stunning works of art we get to see by the talented members of our community. In this edition of the Newsletter we’re adding something new to the Community Art Highlights section: an Artist Interview! We have @numbersix to thank for this idea; the Artist Interview will be a short interview with one of the artists of our community to better give them the highlight they deserve and learn more about them. Hope you all enjoy!
Anyone who keeps up with the artwork channel in the community discord is sure to have seen many of her beautiful illustrations of various players. The first to be featured in an Artist Interview is the wonderful @Mysaan!

- How long have you been practicing art for, and what started it?
I started making digital drawings on my birthday in 2021 cause on that day is when I got my drawing tablet. Before then I had only drawn on paper so it was very exciting to try something new. I think the reason I wanted to start making digital drawings is because it seemed like it would work better for me then drawing on paper (it did). I really liked the thought of being able to pick any color and being able to erase more closely and undo anything I wasn’t happy with and since my parents are amazing they got me a drawing tablet and the rest is history.

- What is your favorite part of the process behind making a new artwork, and which part is the hardest?
It’s pretty fun when you just start sketching something, you see an idea come together a little bit. I also like coloring and attempting to shade stuff, it’s just fun to see how it’s coming together and how you can experiment and see how different things look. The hardest part is probably the face or the lineart. Since I start out with a circle and often make the face pretty late in the lineart, a lot of the time the face will be too big or weirdly shaped, the neck will be too long, the eyes don’t fit well etc.

- How has your art style developed?
It has definitely gotten a lot better. When I started with digital art everything looked kinda weird, I think I put details in places where they didn’t need to be. I also think I experiment more now so it switches a bit more in what I do and don’t do/what I like and don’t like.

- What is your favorite work of art that you’ve created?
My favorite would probably be the one I made of Atterax for fall/halloween. I think it just looks cute and I’m actually happy with how I made it.

- What is your favorite work of art that someone else created?
I would say the one that Sharkpaws most recently made of me! I think it’s so cute and they actually made me more ginger which I’m happy about since most people draw me blonde. I just like that it’s colorful and it even has my favorite minecraft flower as a little flower crown :D
