artist_Elf.pngWe're doing an official RPR art trade. Please read the rules carefully before signing up!

In this art trade, artists post information about a character (or characters, if they want to give the other person a choice of things to draw) they would like to receive gift art of. At a specified cut off date, submissions stop and each artist is randomly assigned someone else in the exchange. Then each artist draws the thing they got, and on a certain day, everyone exchanges what they drew. So you do art for someone else, and someone else gives you art. It's like secret Santa, but with art!

THERE'S A TWIST ON THIS ART TRADE: MONO COLOR! This is NOT a full color trade, but rather, you will pick a color like red, blue, black, etc. -- whatever feels appropriate to the character you get assigned - and then color/shade the piece only using darker or lighter shades of that one color.

ENTRIES DUE BY NOVEMBER 25TH (That's a SATURDAY)
ASSIGNMENTS SENT ON NOVEMBER 26TH (That's a SUNDAY)
ART IS DUE ON DECEMBER 17TH (That's a SUNDAY)


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. There's always next year!

I repeat:

ENTRIES DUE BY NOVEMBER 25TH (That's a SATURDAY)
ASSIGNMENTS SENT ON NOVEMBER 26TH (That's a SUNDAY)
ART IS DUE ON DECEMBER 17TH (That's a SUNDAY)


Check your calendars carefully!

There will be a one week grace period for posting art in case of emergencies. If you don't turn in your art by the end of that one week grace period, you might not be able to participate next year. It's only fair that everyone who does art should get art in return.

This art trade is open to artists of all skill levels!
We are no longer dividing artists into "dabbler" and "devotee" categories. We do ask that this not be your first or second attempt at drawing, but if you've been drawing for roughly a year or more and are willing to do your very best, you're welcome here. Participants should go in with the expectation that the art they receive will be in an unknown style and completed by someone with an unknown skill level, and be excited to get a nice surprise whatever it turns out to be. If you think you may be upset if your gift art turns out to come from an artist who is not as experienced as yourself, or who uses a style of art that is not to your taste, this is not the art trade for you.

Remember, the art you will be given is a GIFT. Someone did their very best to capture your character to brighten up your new year. Please don't get angry if they made mistakes; they did their very best to the best of their ability and understanding to make you something nice, just like you are going to do for whoever you are assigned. :)

I'm not good at drawing (humans/animals/robots/reptiles/something else), can I specify that I don't want to be paired with someone with a character like that?
Nope. If you get thrown a curveball, you're going to have to do your best. Stretch out of your comfort zone! ;)

Is there a risk I could be paired with someone I have blocked?
No. Our matcher is largely random, but it DOES take into account people you have blocked and will not give such assignments. Please be certain you have blocked participants you want to be certain you are not assigned to draw for under any circumstances, and leave them blocked until you receive your art trade assignment.

What are the requirements of the artwork?
  • The following types of artworks can be submitted:
    • Digital drawing/painting/3d modeling
    • Hand-drawn or hand-painted items, so long as you have a method of taking a well-lit photo or good scan of your artwork
    • Sculpture/models you have created from scratch and painted or otherwise colored, so long as you have a method of taking a well-lit photo of your artwork and the artwork is in good condition - paper that's been crumpled at the bottom of your book bag does not count as taking care to produce a nice piece for your assignee!
  • Please do full body artworks, unless the person you're assigned has specified they are okay with receiving a bust/head portrait.
  • You do not have to use full color! This is a MONO COLOR art trade! That means pick a color like red, blue, black, etc -- you will color your piece using only darker or lighter shades of THAT ONE COLOR! (If you forget and do full color, you won't get in trouble)
  • Backgrounds are not required, but you're welcome to include one if the muse moves you.
  • Please make sure your artwork is appropriate for posting on the public forums, so PG-13, non-nude, etc. :)
  • Artwork you submit must be your own original work. If your piece is found to be:
    • Directly stolen, or simply a recolor of an exisiting piece of art.
    • Traced in part or in total
    • Dramatically over-referenced
    • Produced in whole or in-part via AI
    You will be banned from the art trade for at least two years, and possibly permanently.

Does it have to be a surprise? What happens if I want to ask my assigned person questions about their character?
Many people like to keep their art trade assignments a surprise, and do a big reveal on the final day. If this is you, you can have me pass on your questions anonymously to your art trade recipients.

However, that's not required. If you prefer, you can ask your assigned person questions about their character directly. You're even free to post your art trade artwork early if you like! This is especially encouraged for those of you who are afraid you will forget or not be online around the time of the final art trade due date ;)

What happens if I did my part for the art trade, but the person who was assigned me goes AWOL?
If you did your part of the art trade, but don't receive anything in return by the deadline or after the grace period, we'll find another artist who will make sure you get a piece of gift art too.

What happens if I sign up but then have a BIG HUGE EMERGENCY that is going to prevent me from participating?
If this happens, please let me know ASAP so I can figure something out.

Do I have to have existing art/reference sheets for my character to submit them?
No, but in this case be certain they are very clearly described.

I've read the rules and I'M IN! How do I sign up?
To enter, fill out the following form for each character you'd like to offer as a possibility for the artist assigned to you. Remember, no matter how many characters you submit, the person assigned you is only required to draw a single character.

Kim Topic Starter Site Admin

Yes, you could choose black as the one color you're using. Generally you would pick one color and then add black or white to it to get your different shades, but obviously in that case you would only be able to add white to get your different shades ;)

Last day to get your entries in everyone! :) I'll be sending assignments tomorrow
Ope I am sneaking this in at the last minute!

Entering with

Catriona Emberweaver
Link https://www.rprepository.com/c/catrionaemberweaver
Species: Ember-Elf
Gender expression: Cisgender Woman
Personality: She is outwardly cold and aloof. Seeming to to care more about her studies and work for her Kingdom more than anything else. She can be a bit to harsh or blunt in times when people would expect a woman, even a Princess, to hold her tongue. Though she is brave, she is not fearless. She fears loneliness and pure darkness. She is passionate, creative, and far more kindhearted than most people are aware.
I prefer to receive: Bust or full body is fine with me.
Brief physical description of the character: Catriona stands at a modest 5'3" tall, with a slender body with soft plush curves that are exaggerated by a corset, her bust pushed up though on the smaller side. Her eyes are wide, expressive and a soft green. Her hair is very long, almost knee length, a vibrant auburn and naturally wavy almost curly, and if not down and pinned at the sides is often braided. Her skin is light and has soft pink undertones. Catriona has elegant and slim pointed ears that are about two or so inches longer than a humans.
Suggested environments: snowy background, dark fairytale castle.

or

Larkin

Link: https://www.rprepository.com/c/Larkin
Species: Fae/Fairy
Gender expression: male, he/they, gender nonconforming.
Personality: Lark has always struggled with being far more shy than any of the other Summer fairies he knows. Summer fairies are known for being very extroverted, open, loud and friendly. While Larkin is very friendly, sweet, and kind, he is much quieter and introverted in comparison.
FORM 1: Lark is a feminine and lithe fairy, standing at several inches tall, though if he were ever transformed to a human stature, he would be about five foot one. His features are for the most part very soft and delicate. His hands nimble and slender, his hips slightly wider than his waist but only just. His thighs and behind slightly plump. Larkin's eyes are a bright shade of green, expressive, excited. The most vibrant part of him is his bright orange hair that is often tousled and messy. He has tan skin with a dark brown leaf shaped birth mark on the back of his right thigh. Though some might be drawn first to the pair of soft translucent wings behind his back.
FORM 2: During the blood ritual days/nights, in which fairies are overcome with blood lust, Larkin's form shifts a bit. He grows long sharp fangs on the top and bottom, his features turn darker and hungrier. His body appears skinnier and almost malnourished until he feeds and the colors of his skin and hair are dull and lackluster. His eyes go from a bright glowing green to a deep unnerving black.
Suggested environments: nature, specifically spring or summer with tall flowers and grass. Large trees, the moon, dark night for his second form.

Can they be drawn together?: yes, but keep in mind that Larkin is quite literally a few inches tall so he would be incredibly tiny compared to Catriona!
Sliding in fashionably late!

Character Name: Cris "Light Raygun"
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1448218
Species: Human
Gender expression: Female (she/her)
Personality: Changes depending on the various stages of her life. As a pirate; cocky, devil-may-care, adventurous, fun-loving and bold; her eyes are laughing. As a vigilante: driven, threatening, commanding, but in a very aloof qay. Ordinary/everyday: either impassive and blank or soft-eyed, thoughtful, very caring and affectionate, but with a shadow of wistfulness, like a survivor who's trying to move on with her life.
I prefer to receive: Either
Brief physical description of the character: 5'4'', with pale ivory skin, long dark brown hair in which a rose is tucked and dark eyes behind blue-tinted visor-like glasses. Her clothing changes too depending on what stage of her life you choose to go with. (Pirate) She wears a striped jacket with rolled sleeves, a blue scarf, shirts colored either grey, dull brown or black, high-waist black leather trousers and short boots with metal tips and roses decorations. She always has two futuristic guns with her., which are non-optional. (Ordinary / Vigilante) In both instances she wears a long white and red (or dark crimson) kimono with roses decorations, occasionaly with white gloves. If vigilante, she will necessarily also be wearing her japanese flared white and red kitsune mask, as well as either a futuristic gun, a katana, shurikens, or a sai dagger; weapons and mask are optional in her "ordinary" attire (though the mask will more likely be slipped over her head or hanging from the obi sash around her waist.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Futuristic/scifi landscape, or Japanese-themed
Anything else we need to know: If going with Pirate!Cris, she may or may not have the scar on her right cheek (viewer's left), but for Ordinary!Cris (sans mask) it's not optional, as she received it during her pirate days.


Character Name: Curly
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1463276
Species: Chimera (Saluki / Frilled Lizard / Human)
Gender expression: Male (he/him)
Personality: (Mostly) Calm, poised, a scholar with the soul of a poet, curious about the worlds and eager to expand his knowledge, somewhat shy and self-conscious, his smile reflects in his eyes.
I prefer to receive: Either
Brief physical description of the character: He stands at a full 6', has Saluki head, scaly frills around his neck, reptilian feet and hands, and a long long tail with (after he recently discovered his affinity for ley line magic) darker markings similar to those of "town lizards", with fringes of fur on his forearms / shins (like Salukis). His fur is a pale sandy ash-lightbrown, he has lime-green eyes with diamond pupils like some dragons / geckos. Curly prefers to wear in an oriental style, to homage his dog donor's Persian heritage. He favors long sherwani, in dark colors (green, rust-brown, copper) and richly decorated, and darker pants. When he's feeling particularly frisky, he might opt for a sarong, still in darker colors and with plant-themed decorations. When he's walking outdoor on the garden he'll favor something more casual, with rolled-up jeans and shirts.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Futuristic/country landscape, or magical/fantasy forest.
Anything else we need to know: n/a

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your

Brief physical description of the character: Slender, pale, light-haired, she has pale dappled birthmarks on her face and down her body/limbs as well. Her curly long hair is usually in a ponytail; she looks very prim and poised when still, but is typically quite active. Her color palette is typically light blues, white, and ivory or pink, with the occasional purple. Utility clothing is usually still a bit silky or lacy, and she trims and grooms her nails but still keeps them long.

Character Name: Miretta
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials:
Species: Human (Hunter?)
Gender expression: Female but with masculine attributes :) She'd probably be as likely to use 'boku' as much as 'watashi'. :)
Personality: Brash and excitable, well trained, gung-ho, jolly. Can be cautious and polite, but is overly eager to enjoy things, and she likes festivities. She gives it her all when it comes to quests and missions, and she's a great Hunter and dutiful Guild Maid. She likes to read but mostly just does it for missions/research.
I prefer to receive: Either :)
Brief physical description of the character: Medium height, muscular, changes her hair color occasionally but usually prefers to keep it short, wears her hunting or counter uniforms well and is often seen toting around a weapon or a handful of beer mugs. Uhh, I guess they could be cocoa mugs, since this is PG-13 appropriate ^D^ She smiles a lot and is often focused. Photogenic and a bit of a 'golden retriever' type in her expressions.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Um, I suppose trees, a fireplace, a camp, for counter, or a carnival.
Anything else we need to know: She's based off of a character from New World, but I appreciate mixtures of style from other games as well! I played Tri but might recognize others.

Brief physical description of the character: Short but growing, tanned, curly dark hair, green eyes, athletic, likes comfy clothing and glitter as well as gadgets. Practical but still cute.

Sliding in fashionably late!

Character Name: Cris "Light Raygun"
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1448218
Species: Human
Gender expression: Female (she/her)
Personality: Changes depending on the various stages of her life. As a pirate; cocky, devil-may-care, adventurous, fun-loving and bold; her eyes are laughing. As a vigilante: driven, threatening, commanding, but in a very aloof qay. Ordinary/everyday: either impassive and blank or soft-eyed, thoughtful, very caring and affectionate, but with a shadow of wistfulness, like a survivor who's trying to move on with her life.
I prefer to receive: Either
Brief physical description of the character: 5'4'', with pale ivory skin, long dark brown hair in which a rose is tucked and dark eyes behind blue-tinted visor-like glasses. Her clothing changes too depending on what stage of her life you choose to go with. (Pirate) She wears a striped jacket with rolled sleeves, a blue scarf, shirts colored either grey, dull brown or black, high-waist black leather trousers and short boots with metal tips and roses decorations. She always has two futuristic guns with her., which are non-optional. (Ordinary / Vigilante) In both instances she wears a long white and red (or dark crimson) kimono with roses decorations, occasionaly with white gloves. If vigilante, she will necessarily also be wearing her japanese flared white and red kitsune mask, as well as either a futuristic gun, a katana, shurikens, or a sai dagger; weapons and mask are optional in her "ordinary" attire (though the mask will more likely be slipped over her head or hanging from the obi sash around her waist.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Futuristic/scifi landscape, or Japanese-themed
Anything else we need to know: If going with Pirate!Cris, she may or may not have the scar on her right cheek (viewer's left), but for Ordinary!Cris (sans mask) it's not optional, as she received it during her pirate days.
