Secret Santa Art Trade! - Rhostel - 11-30-2012

I have to admit, I'm stealing this idea from another community I was in a few years ago. It's exactly what it says on the tin: People who want to participate submit a character description (or offer multiple if they want to give a choice), I use random.org to assign each participant another person whose character they will draw to the best of their ability (possibly with a Christmas theme) and you send them to me by the 25th so I can post them all up at once.

There's no skill requirement for this. So long as you're trying, that's all that matters. It doesn't even have to be a drawing; if there's some other visual art you feel more comfortable with, that's fine too! Well, I'm gonna say no Poser or Daz3d stuff, unless you've got some real skills and original assets. It might look a tiny bit better than stick figures, but it has about as much heart as posing action figures if you only know the basics. This is all about putting heart into it, not looking good! Smile

I like this idea. I'm in!

I'm definitely in. Y'all know you want some of this.

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Ellie - 11-30-2012

Sure! I'll give it a shot. Smile

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Deirdre - 11-30-2012

I'm in!

I'm up for trying, though my skill probably isn't anywhere near what others is and my style is still a bit unrefined. If nothing else it will provide an opportunity to practice a bit (which I sorely need). I may need to turn to some of the other artists as I go for suggestions though (assuming any are willing to offer a helping hand). I'm just probably going to need at least a couple weeks' time for this as well. I'm kind of methodical/perfectionistic. But it sounds like fun and I'm certainly interested in the challenge.

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Aysun - 11-30-2012

Sounds fun. I'll try~

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Rhostel - 11-30-2012

Excellent!

Since we're getting a good amount of interest quite quickly, how about I set the participation application deadline to the 7th? That gives a good amount of time to put together character descriptions and assemble links to reference images (post them in this thread!) and heaps of time to work on your picture to get it in by the 25th. Smile

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Rhostel - 12-04-2012

Only a few days left to sign up!

Please, don't think you're not good enough. This is for everyone who takes part in the RPC! Smile

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Kerr - 12-05-2012

Awww. I would try, but I think I'm really too busy to commit to it right now. Between two weeks of finals and work, I am sad kitty... Cry

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Rhostel - 12-09-2012

Kerr, you're welcome so long as you put forth the best effort you can, whatever the circumstances of why you can't do more. Smile

Anyway, I've quietly extended the deadline to see if we could get a few more participants, but this is just about as far as I can take it to be fair to the time needed to get this done. In twelve hours from the time of this post, I will be taking the names of those who have volunteered in this thread, and making the assignments.

This is the last chance to get in! It's also time to post your descriptions and links for the character(s) you'd like to see drawn.

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Ellie - 12-10-2012

Luckily Kei has a wiki entry where it has a picture and description of what she looks like.

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Eva - 12-10-2012

Oh EVA'S WIKI PAGE is kind of a work-in-progress, but the physical information is all accurate and there are a few artistic renderings and some screenshots out there already.
Couple other hi-res screenshots if it helps at all: LINK | LINK
Spoiler: show
The shorthand version of all the wiki description stuff is that she looks pretty much the same as the character model in the screenshots except she has a much larger chest, and has much longer hair.
She's been wearing a braid in her hair lately as well (kind of visible in the avatar). I suppose that isn't mentioned on the wiki. I really need to get around to updating that...
Her tattoo will probably be undergoing a transformation (from bluish to gray) come ARR, as well.

I'm looking forward to drawing though. I've been brushing up a bit this past week. (get it? XD *guffaws*)


EDIT: Oh, since it was solicited in the OP, I should mention that we also have no real preference for how she is drawn for this with regard to poses or clothing or such, just so long as it's tasteful/classy. The info in the wiki give a lot of info about her mannerisms and preferences and such. Smile

I'm in!

Re: Secret Santa Art Trade! - Gerik - 12-10-2012

Ok, I sign up and stuff.

Uhhhh - A lot of these are from my threads, but yea, all the Gerik refs you need. I don't care if Gerik has hair or shaved hair (this includes body hair.)
