AE Secret Santa! This year's is over!

[global-wolf]

AE Secret Santa!!​

It's the time of the year for giving and receiving gifts! This will be the AE's first Secret Santa, and I want it to be amazing.

For those of you who have never participated in an art Secret Santa, this is how it works. You fill out a form stating what you would like to be drawn, and PM it to me. I will randomly assign each person to someone else and you will draw that person's request. On the deadline, we all post our pictures and squeal at the awesomeness.

Directions:
1. Comment in this thread saying you would like to sign up, and I will put you on the list. The deadline for signups is Sunday, December 12th.

2. PM me your request! Try to include these things in your PM:

Thing you want to be drawn (character name)
Reference picture (if applicable)
Description of thing(if applicable)
Specifics (any specific scene, action, or pose?)

You may of course add other things.

3. After the deadline for signups, I will randomly assign you to someone and PM you their request. You will have until January 1st to complete your picture.

4. Post your picture on January 1st so that the person you're drawing for can see it!

Important dates:
12/12: Last day for signups
1/1: Post your picture!

Please complete your picture, this is entirely based on trust. You will not be allowed to participate in a future Secret Santa if you do not create something for the person you were assigned. If for some reason you can't turn it in on January 1st PM it to me beforehand so I can post it for you. Even if the request is beyond your comfort zone, try your best. Please also be considerate when making your request.

Don't doodle something in 5 minutes and turn that in either. It doesn't have to look pro, but it should show some heart in it.

If someone does not receive their secret santa by January 3rd, I will make it up and draw it instead. Everyone will receive something.

I will put all the finished pictures in the front page for easy viewing :D

. Me

 

[TigerWoods]

I'd totally do this, though I most likely wouldn't be able to finish a portrait of someone in time haha, so I'll stay out of this one for this year.

I can't wait to see them though

 

[global-wolf]

Aww, it might not be a portrait though. But yeah I bet they'll turn out great ^^

 

[TigerWoods]

Still, I wouldn't want to enter just to dissapoint somebody xD.

 

[Geist]

Kurt dont be a whimp >:[

Sign me up, I wont be that busy on the break wooooo
I need to think about what I want though, gimme a bit

 

[Elder Sister]

what a cute idea, never heard of it before. sign me up, tho don't expect too much fronm me xPP
i'll pm you later~

 

[Wiscus]

This sounds so fun!
...
....
AUGH I wish I could participate ;; happy drawing everyone!

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I wanna sign up...but...T__T So much work. 2-3 game concepts for various stuff at the moment + commissions + school has me dead. Have fun everyone!

 

[Fried Ice Cream]

I really want to join but someone will end up with a horribly drawn present xD!

 

[Geist]

Wow you all are so depressing

 

[Elder Sister]

would extending the deadline help lokii/wiscus? ;_; cuz it would suck if half the AE family didn't participate..

kurt/dourin, go for it, it's just for fun after all.

 

[global-wolf]

I'd extend the deadline if it would help everyone have some time for this. :O

@Dourin and whoever else who thinks they're not good enough: Don't worry about it! It's just for fun and the more people the better it will be. <3

 

[TigerWoods]

Dourin, from experience, even poorly drawn renditions of myself are really really enjoyable to me XD.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Not really xP I'm booked until the end of the school year for major assignments lollll

 

[Geist]

Don't you have winter break? Q_Q

Kurt and dourin go for it lol

 

[TigerWoods]

Winter break?! More like "working week"!

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Oh, i do.
It's just gonna be spent for art for college/contests, hw, snow, and R&R.

 

[TigerWoods]

I have a lot of writting to do and music stuffs as well. :-/

 

[Wiscus]

No extension for me, my tablet is broken and its going to take me a while to get the new one ;;
Ill make sure I participate in anything that comes up next time <3

 

[Fried Ice Cream]

Fine, I'll join

 

[Neon Ness]

You will not be allowed to participate in a future Secret Santa if you do not create something for the person you were assigned.

Whoa

That seems kind of harsh. I'm a believer in 2nd chances and unfortunate happenstance. Oh well.

Can't wait to see how this turns out, might join in on this.

 

[global-wolf]

It's a general rule that most secret santas have, to discourage people who just want to receive art and don't want to make something for someone else.

 

[GameStation aka C4?!]

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HondaFoo]

I'll do it

 

[global-wolf]

Please send me a PM if you haven't already! The deadline for signups is tomorrow and I'd like to get the assignments out as soon as possible.

 

[DuckPimp]

hey, ill do it. pm coming shortly

 

[HondaFoo]

By the way, if there ends up being an odd number of people I can draw two

 

[global-wolf]

An odd number of people isn't a problem. The person you draw for probably won't be drawing for you so everything works out.

 

[TigerWoods]

Circleee of liffeeeee.

 

[PurDi]

I wanna do secret santa!!!

Sign me up!

 

[Fried Ice Cream]

So we're getting the PM's today ?

 

[Evil-Guy]

So we're getting the PM's today ?

You and me will be great friends one day.

 

[Neon Ness]

Sooooooo how's everything going!?

I know the deadline's not for a while, just curious as to how many people have made progress on their gifts to other people.

 

[global-wolf]

I've started on mine. I think it's gonna turn out nice

 

[Geist]

I started
I'm busier than I thought I would be
Family stuff

 

[Fried Ice Cream]

Horrible. Had a nice idea, tried to work with it, then realized I don't have the tools or skills to make it look nice in the way I intended. I think I'll just draw with pencil and paper and will have to get you a nice drawing like that.

 

[Elder Sister]

i finished the sketching but ..i dunno how to make it kinda original xD

 

[HondaFoo]

Last day to work on them!
