Forums » Art & Creativity » Winter Art Trade 2016!

It's time for an art adventure! Challenge yourself to draw something new and unexpected -- get character art in return that may be in surprising new styles!
artist_Elf.png
In a trade like this, artists post information about a character (or characters!) that they would like drawn. At the end of the sign up period, all entrants are sent a randomly selected name. Each entrant draws one of the characters that their assigned person submitted, you keep it a secret, and then on a certain day, you all exchange what you drew! Pretty cool right!? Everyone gets to have some fun, and get some cool new character art in the process.


RULES
This event is for artists. Artists of all skill levels are welcome! However, if you have never drawn before, only drawn a few times, or don't consider yourself to be an artist in any way, this event may not be for you.

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 16TH
ALL ART MUST BE POSTED BY JANUARY 6TH

PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOU CAN COMPLETE YOUR ASSIGNED PIECE IN THE TIME ALLOWED. If you're not sure, just play it safe and don't enter. We do two art trades every year, so if you're not positive you can complete this one, try for the next one instead.


If you do not turn your art trade piece in, you will be asked to sit out the next art trade on the RPR. Failure to turn your piece in in two art trades may lead you to be banned from the art trade. The RPR commissions replacement art when a piece is not turned in to someone who DID complete their assignment, and we don't have an infinite budget for this.

Artists are NOT required to include a background in their drawing, but you can include a suggestion with your entry, should the artist that gets your character feel up to drawing it.

Only entries drawn by you, digital or scanned, are acceptable. Please do not submit photomanipulations or images created with doll makers.

Any artist caught passing off traced or stolen artwork as their own will be banned from the trade - and any other art-based events or contests run by the RPR - for life.

When entries are due, all artists must post them on the art trade thread--no exceptions.

Please keep in mind that pairings are random. You may be asked to draw a type of character that you don't normally -- for example, if you normally don't draw anthropomorphic characters, you may have to challenge yourself to make your best attempt at something outside your comfort zone! However, you will never be asked to draw an image with a rating above PG13 in this trade.

All entrants must link to three recent examples of their artwork when joining.


THE CATEGORIES
Dabbler
This category is for beginning or occasional artists. Dabblers are still required to put their full effort into the piece they submit for their trade!

Devotee
If you have been doing focused art practice on a regular basis for at least three years, this category is for you. Not all artists in this category are necessarily professional level! However, they are not really beginners, either. Think of this as intermediate and up.

If you are a devotee, you may still enter into the dabbler category if you wish. :)

In the past, some people have tried to join as a devotee even though they had never drawn before, because they planned to "work really hard" on their trade piece. Please be realistic: one time effort is not equivalent to years of practice. Both dabblers and devotees are asked to put their best effort into their trade pieces.

Keep in mind that the art you are receiving is a gift. Whoever got your character put a lot of time and effort into the drawing, so if it's not exactly right, please don't be angry or upset! This contest is meant to be fun for everybody.


SIGN UP
Ready to enter? All you need to do to enter is fill out this form and post it as a reply to this topic! When entries close, you will all be PM'd the name of the person you are drawing for. Please keep it a secret, and do not give your trade their art early! If you are going to be out of town on the due date, please PM me (Loki)with the artwork and I will make sure they get it on the right date. Please also PM me if you have blocked the person you are paired with so I can get it fixed right away! No matter how many characters you submit, the artist is only required to draw one character, and backgrounds are optional.

o: This feels like a shorter window than last year and the mid-summer art trade... but I may be mistaken! WAIT... disregard this... i read 'entries' as in like, art entries, not sign-up entries. What is it with me and getting confused lately--

Character Name: Felvalian 'Vale' Azmus
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Link to Gallery
Species: Iliean (Wood Elf)
Gender: Male ♂
Personality: Calm, stoic, contemplative, patient, observant, speaks when spoken to
Brief physical description of the character: Valian stands at 6'1" and has a kind of caramel coloured skin tone that is a little more tan due to his outdoor lifestyle. His hair is a snow white, and his eyes a teal colour. There is a diagonal scar across his face that goes from the topmost part of his bridge down along to the end of his cheek that goes under his eye. Vale is rather muscular and toned.
Suggested environments: Forested, camping, actiony
Anything else we need to know: I keep mentioning everywhere that he has a small portion of his right ear missing, but always forget to incorporate it in anything I draw. o)--( Also, Vale is Arulania's cousin.

Character Name: Ei Ie
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Link to Gallery
Species: Shapeshifter
Gender: Female ♀
Personality: Happy-go-lucky, generally pretty kind, cheerful, optimistic, bubbly, though seems to have a lack of certain empathy for mortal beings in some cases, loves games, loves sweets
Brief physical description of the character: In her preferred form, Ei stands at a height of 5'3". She has shoulder-length shiny white hair, golden eyes with black sclera, and a rather happy expression on her face most of the time. Ei has relatively umber skin the colour of milk chocolate. Her form is generally thin, and she has large wings on her back most of the time that have feathers the same colour as her hair with some charcoal markings on the feather tips.
Suggested environments: Sky, plateau, plains, flower fields
Anything else we need to know: Nope....

Character Name: Arulania Azmus
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Link to reference
Species: Iliean (Wood Elf)
Gender: Female ♀
Personality: Flirtatious, confident, a little bit of a show off, teasing, scandalous, works purely for money or the thought of being able to tame a beast that supposedly cannot be tamed, bullheaded at times, has generally good intentions, likes having a good time, sometimes a drunk
Brief physical description of the character: Lani stands at a height of 5'6" and has mid-back length extremely light lavender hued hair. Her eyes are teal, like her cousin's, and her ears are slightly longer than the typical Iliean elf ear. Like her cousin, Arulania also has relatively caramel coloured skin that is also sun kissed and tanned by activities pertaining to the outdoors. There are two small, parallel scars about a centimetre in length on either sides of her lips. When her neck, shoulders, back, and general torso are exposed, one can see the forest green tattoos she bears as well as some other scars here and there.
Suggested environments: Forested, hunting, bar, cosy cottage home
Anything else we need to know: Lani is Valian's cousin.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) It's fine to draw all three together if you feel so inclined. Honestly. Vale and Ei have opposing personalities, though seem to get along decently enough. More like an annoyed brother and a hyper sister. Arulania and Valian are cousins -- they seem to have a close family relationship like actual brother and sister, and tend to work well together when their skills are put hand in hand.
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yes!

Dabbler or Devotee? Dabbler

Why did you choose that category? I've been drawing for years, but I still have a ways to go before I consider myself devotee material.

okami_by_rubydragoncat-daa06zp.png
lilith_the_astral_dragon_by_rubydragoncat-d9vuait.png


Character 1
Cerai
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Personality: Sarcastic, slightly cocky, intelligent.
Description: Medium short red hair, green eyes, caucasian skin tone, light green armor, wields lances/spears and bows. 5'3, body type...idk, she's got curves, but not overly curvy or busty.

Character 2
Leo
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Personality: Stubborn, slightly hotheaded, sore loser.
Description: Short red hair, green eyes, caucasian skin tone, splotch shaped birthmark below right eye, yellow armor, wields lances/spears and axes. 5'10, kinda lanky build, kinda toned and muscular but not enough to be obviously buff.

Anything else
They are wyvern riders, their wyverns have art on their profiles. There's also art of them, but it lacks weapons and is simple. Whoever gets me may draw them together with the wyverns, and may put saddles/reins on them. Blaze, the orange one, is female and the white one is male, named Frostbite. Female wyverns are slightly smaller than males and have smaller fleshy ruffs on their faces(both sides, like a frilled lizard), wyverns are generally the size of large horses/clydesdales. I really don't care about backgrounds and would prefer a plain one, but I will accept a medieval fantasy, Fire Emblem ish background, maybe a fort or a campsite. The weapons don't have to be included, but if they are, it's not necessary to include both types they can wield. Their profile images will be a better reference for their faces than I can draw from scratch. These two are twins, so capturing their siblingness would be nice if that makes sense.

Anything else we need to know: Nothing much!


If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants Yes they're all from the same universe! Tsane is the nice one. Matt and West are both... quite hard to get along with. Their relationship is a strained one at best.

It is! We've had some issues with people forgetting they joined when we offer long long windows for signup/execution, so we're experimenting with different lengths to see what the sweet spot is for remembering and completing. :)

Ah! Alright! The other problem I had was that I misinterpreted 'entries' for some reason as actual art entries rather than sign-up entries at first. Haha.

But yes, I can totally understand the call for that. :'D I hope that this year bodes well for all the artists involved!

Character Name: Amory Wen
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Here
Species: Human/Witch
Gender: Male
Personality: Quirky, whimsical. Subdued but snarky.
Brief physical description of the character: Asian American, tattooed (with references on his profile) with bleached hair. Amory is fairly skinny, prone to dark colors and casual clothes like t-shirts and jeans.
Suggested environments: Modern/fantasy urban environments. Cityscapes, modern 'magical' scenarios a la fortune telling shops, seances, exorcisms.
Anything else we need to know: Nope!

Character Name: Elliot Chau
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Here
Species: Human/Witch
Gender: Male
Personality: Chipper, bubbly, magical.
Brief physical description of the character: Pastel-y 'white mage' type character. Elliot's hair color changes often with different charms, so you have full liberties with his color palette, otherwise. He's also more of a traditional mage and is heavily inspired by Harry Potter-themed rps, so his clothing is a mix of modern menswear (crisp shirts, tailored pants, that sort of thing) and more whimsical options like robes and such.
Suggested environments: Sweets shops, bubbly cauldrons, haunted houses, cozy attics...
Anything else we need to know: Nah!

Character Name: Calder Daire
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Here
Species: Human (optionally turned demon).
Gender: Male
Personality: Serious, sarcastic, generally grumpy but not 'evil'. He's good-natured, just very soured.
Brief physical description of the character: Calder is slowly giving up parts of his body and essentially turning into a devil. He's pale with pink/red hair (in earlier references, it's longer, but in recent storylines it's more of an undercut) and optional cracks/red scarring/visible veins on his skin. Make him as cute or as horrifying as you feel comfortable.
Otherwise, he's average build and not terribly tall. He wears primarily navy blues and blacks, scarves, overcoats, that sort of thing.
Suggested environments: Modern/fantastical. City scenes, especially. He's a sniper. Fancy settings and fancy clothes are fun, too!
Anything else we need to know: Calder's references kind of track how he's 'turned' over time. I'd love some more art of him where he's more heavily scarred; there's not really any rhyme or reason to the cracking of his face though, woops. Feel free to take some artistic license with this character if you choose to draw him.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) Sure!

Character Name: Pearl
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: http://www.rprepository.com/c/knitwitch
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Personality: Usually kind and a listener above a conversationalist. She enjoys social interactions in moderation but prefers to spend time with her animals at home. Enjoys reading and learning new things, but is hesitant to apply this knowledge in practice. She wants to do good but has difficulty making the right decisions, inadvertently making people angry with her
Brief physical description of the character: Pear bodyshape, 5'9", chin length wavy brown hair, round face shape, pale skin, green eyes. Wears comfortable peasant dresses, knits often and loves animals.
Suggested environments: Anything medieval works. :) In a cozy cabin knitting, taking care of (farm) animals, casting spells etc.
Anything else we need to know: If you draw her knitting, please do me the favor of not drawing her knitting needles pointing downwards. This is the wrong way, but this and this is the right way. :) I don't care much about what she's knitting, or whether it looks like proper knitting (individual stitches are killer, I know!), but it's physically impossible to knit with needles pointing downwards. So that's the only thing I'd really like attention to be paid to, should you choose to draw her knitting.

Character Name: Parker James Dallas
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Dally's page
Species: Vampire, previously human
Gender: Male
Personality: Seems pretty confident and self assured (Is actually still an insecure teenager at heart)
Brief physical description of the character: Dally is tall and lithely muscled with sharp facial features and classically styled 'greaser' hair. His skin is pale, almost white and his eyes blue with thick brows and a few piercings in his face. His dress style is a cross between 1950's chic and modern biker gang wear. Details descriptions and facial/body reference are on his page.
Suggested environments: City areas, with his bike, in the bike repair shop
Anything else we need to know: Dally still drinks from humans, though usually from willing participants or his boyfriend. If you want to go for something a little gory, have fun, just keep in mind he wouldn't be attacking someone.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) Nope.



Character Name:Firuz
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Ru's profile

Gender: Male
Personality: Charming, confident, smooth talker
Brief physical description of the character: Firuz is tall and well dressed, usually with a cigarette in hand or between his lips. In his glamor, he looks like an ordinary human, but his demon form is red with yellow cat eyes, horns and tail and all. Full descriptions and references are on his page.
Suggested environments: Anywhere, really. Ru collects souls from all over, has his office in Hell but lives topside on Earth
Anything else we need to know: Living on Earth has ruined his big scary demon demeanor and Ru loves sharks more than anything. Feel free to depict him with a stuffed shark >_> Or a silly shark shirt.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) Nope.



Character Name: Yewelyn
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Yew's page
Species: Verndari (Unicorn people)
Gender: Male
Personality: Haughty, self-absorbed, smug, outgoing and overly friendly
Brief physical description of the character: Yew is extremely tall and willowy. He's covered in a soft, white-silvery down with big eyes and floofs of hair. His tail is leonine and he has hooves, not feet. He loves jewelry and pretty things to adorn all bits of him, ankles, wrists, fingers, neck and tail. However, through the course of his game, he has his horn torn off and it now grows in wrong, so it would be twisted and wonky. He's not proud of this. Full description and reference on his page!
Suggested environments: Forest areas or within a castle
Anything else we need to know: Yew loves fancy clothing and hair styles, so feel free to go nuts!

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) Nope.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no) Ivian and Oberlan can be drawn together (they are somewhat romantically involved!), but not Zazeal, since they are from AUs!
I kinda feel 3 feet tall here, I'm the only one who picked dabbler and look at all these artists who are better at it than me...no big deal I guess but will the matches mix? Like will a dabbler draw for a devotee and vice versa?

Also, let me know if you want me to edit my signup and use the exact format...like everyone else did. I included all the required info though.
Loki Topic Starter

There are about two weeks for sign up's so I'm sure more dabblers will enter :) your entries are just fine as they are.


Also when names are given out, dabblers are paired with dabblers and devotees with devotees ^_^
What happens if we have an odd number? Or not enough of each category?

My method still works with an odd number. And we've never had an art trade where too few people have entered :)

Species: Demon-Desire/Rage
Gender: Female
Personality: Withdrawn and contemplative, with her country in the middle of a long, hard war, the stress has definitely taken its toll on what was onceone of the nicest people you could ever meet.
