Forums » Art & Creativity » Midsummer Art Trade!

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, 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 JULY 20TH
ALL ART MUST BE SENT BY AUGUST 17TH

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.

Heart-shaped face with a small nose with a slightly concave bridge that results in a somewhat button nose appearance. Pixie also has several tattoos, though three of them are generally hidden by her clothing choices, and the only ones that can be seen are the thin bands around her left wrist. As for body type, Pixie is a mesomorph and does have a little bit of chunk around her tummy and thighs.

Anything else we need to know: Mmm not that I know of.

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) Definitely. Beltrán and Pixie are married, so it would be appreciated.

Other Notes: If Netherweave so chooses to enter this event, please know that we live together, and it would be very difficult (and admittedly disappointing to the both of us) if we are to gift either of our entries to one another since we already draw for one another, as well as have to share a computer at current (so keeping it a secret would be difficult).
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yessum.
Dabbler or Devotee? Devotee.
Why did you choose that category? What I've always entered as :3

Lemme just copypasta from the winter art trade thread ... my art refs are now 6 months old but I'm on mobile, so I'll try to update them in a little bit!

Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? I did!
Dabbler or Devotee? Devotee!
Why did you choose that category? I'm a professional artist and have participated in every one of RPR's art trades so far 8)

Suggested environments: A castle, guarding a wall, an open field ... lots of options.
Anything else we need to know: He can be drawn in a wide array of medieval outfits but he has refs on his page.

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 haven't been able to join one of these in a while, I'm pretty nervous but excited about it <3

Basics
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yes
Dabbler or Devotee? Devotee
Why did you choose that category? Been working on art for about five or six years now, so I figure I fit; I may go through a ton of art blocks, but I do have a general idea of what I'm doing XD

Character Name: Melody Martineau / Maladie

Character Sheet (Written)
Character Sheet (Visual)
Outfit Recolors 1 and 2
Species: Human
Gender: CIS Female
Personality: When relaxed in her casual clothing, she's a huge bubbly dork who doesn't seem all that smart upon first glance. She's clumsy from being oblivious and seems really stupid. However, upon starting a deep conversation with her, she's actually rather intelligent... Also, memelord. When in battle, she seems to take a complete 180, being very quiet and focused to the point where it can be somewhat terrifying...
Brief physical description of the character: Slim, a bit lanky. She stands around 6' and has little fat on her person, though she's not skin and bones either. Very delicate.
Suggested environments: Any of the Overwatch Maps, specifically King's Row or Hollywood, but honestly, any of them would do! If these are unknown to the artist, she doesn't have to be on a background <3
Anything else we need to know: Don't think so!



Character Name: Ssevina
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials:
Character Sheet (Visual)
Character Sheet (Written)
Extra Image
Species: Naga (Appears Night Elf / Blood Elf)
Gender: Female
Personality: Sneaky and very stereotypically pirate. She's more interested in shiny things than she is with whatever crew she's joined up with. Usually after she gets what she wants, she takes down the crew with her siren-like song and ends up hiding out in her own little slice of heaven. She's very sarcastic, cocky, and sometimes more lustful.
Brief physical description of the character: Lithe, athletic, slim, and lean. She has B-Cup breasts and slim hips, but her curves are definitely present enough. Lanky arms and legs, but they don't look awkward.
Suggested environments: Pirate ships, beaches, etc. If you draw her naga form, it'd be nice to have her in a cavern near a beach, covered in algae and waterfalls, stuff like that!
Anything else we need to know: Don't think so! She does belong to the warcraft universe, but if the artists has no clue what that means, it's fine!



Character Name: Queriah Moonfox
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials:
Main Piece
Clothing Lineup
Character Sheet (Written) - Most detail/up-to-date
Character Sheet (Visual)
Species: Eternal Dragon - Looks Quel'Dorei
Gender: Appears female
Personality: Very kind, gentle, though extremely mischievous and curious. She tends to cause a lot of trouble, though it's always accidental. If she ever means anyone harm, which is rare, she's not going to be subtle about it, so if she is subtle and causes anyone harm, it means she did not do it on purpose. She's very apologetic; tends to be one of those people that the conversation ends with someone going, "Stop saying sorry!" only to have her apologize for saying sorry too much.
Brief physical description of the character: Fit, lithe, slim, toned, longer legs. Small breasts but thicker hips and thighs (extreme pear shape).
Suggested environments: Forests of autumn-colors, or a log cabin with lots of pelts and things. Not required, obvs.
Anything else we need to know: If you do decide to draw Quer, please don't forget her tattoos! They don't have to be perfect (in that first piece, they're far from), but some amount of her tattoos being shown would be nice! Also, she has so many pet foxes, you can't even count them, so if one or two are in there, that'd be AWESOME, but don't feel required!



Character Name: Starelleka

Written Character Sheet (Trigger warning in her history for abuse)
Piece 1
Piece 2
Dragon Form (If you want to draw it heehee)
Species: Green Dragon (looks Night Elf)
Gender: Demigirl
Personality: A bit darker and certainly not as optimistic as her sisters; she's quite the pessimist, mostly because of how her father has treated her versus her sisters. She tends to come off as cold until you get to know her, and once at that point, she's... well, still kind of cold and untrusting, but certainly less so.
Brief physical description of the character: Athletic and slightly muscular. She's pretty plain overall. Small a-cup, slimmer hips.
Suggested environments: Nagrand or forested-environments
Anything else we need to know: She's a very grumpy little bean. Her smiling or making peace signs or etc. would not be characteristic of her. The grumpier/more depressed/angry she looks the better!


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) No thank you!
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yes, of course!
Dabbler or Devotee? Devotee!

Suggested environments: Cafes, a park, riding a bike, dancing!
Anything else we need to know: You can color her hair ANY color you like! When not glamoured to look 'natural' she is a kaleidoscope of colors, similar to Karolina Dean.

Character Name: Jie
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Jie's RPR is still in the works, but has a gallery and some character information.
Species: Weredog - Shiba inu
Gender: Cisgendered female
Personality: Jie's pretty doglike in several ways, but she's also very confident and proud of herself. She loves eating food, and is very adventurous when it comes to her meals. She's very energetic.
Brief physical description of the character: She's -short-, standing at 4'1". Her skin's dark, and she's got naturally light blue eyes. She has long hair, and keeps it dyed platinum blonde with half of it dyed a pastel purple.
Suggested environments: Anything, really!
Anything else we need to know: She can be drawn as a shiba inu, just remember to include the bits of purple!

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! Tuesday and Jie exist in the same community.
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yes
Dabbler or Devotee? Devotee
Why did you choose that category? I've been drawing for about nine years so I feel I fit the category best rather than dabbler.

Character Name: Blondy
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Blondy's RPR
Species: Coyote (southwestern variant)
Gender: Male
Personality: Sweet but shy, and often lost in thought.
Brief physical description of the character: Anthro, on the petite side, and underweight. He has a reference sheet on his RPR profile that covers all the basics (ref contains nudity, but nothing sexual in nature). Side note on clothing: loves ponchos, serapes, and bandanas, but no hats or shoes.
Suggested environments: If you feel up to it, out in the Mojave Desert. A modern town or city typical to the southwest desert region of the US also works. If making a background is too intimidating, don't worry about it!
Anything else we need to know: Blondy's not having a great time at the moment. If you feel like drawing someone looking sad or anxious, you're in luck.
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) No one else listed. All you got is coyote.

Brief physical description of the character: A small crocodile-like cat the size of a fox with a large red crest and single layer of spikes.

Character Name: Lorena Ramirez
RPR - 2 NSFW art pieces
Species: Wendigo
Gender: Female
Personality: Shy and soft spoken, a bit of a honey pot. Plays with others to get what she wants but is loyal to those she gets attached to.
Brief physical description of the character: Frail, slender, wears colorful wigs and clothing. Wendigo form is skin stretched over skeleton, long limbed and holds onto the hair she hides under wigs, which is a short pixie cut. Antlers, torn skin, generally horrifying. Up to the artist how it's expressed, there's no set appearance for it.
Suggested environments: She's a baker at a cafe, so if you want to do something with that you're welcome to. Otherwise, she's a bit of a homebody. Kitchens are her safe haven. If you want to go the creepy route and do wendigo form, you're welcome to that as well! Lives in New Versailles, which is set in a bayou but also a fairly big city, so her being creepy in an alley or swamp could be done. :)
Anything else we need to know: THIS IS MY BABY. Just kidding. I've got nothing else.


Character Name: Taullie
Her RPR - 1 NSFW piece of art
Species: Red Panda trickster spirit, sandman
Gender: Female
Personality: Bubbly and playful, super flirty. Tries to channel the cute school girl anime stereotype, is self aware of this and does it on purpose.
Brief physical description of the character: Short and curvy, she doesn't even hit five foot in height. Bob hair cut, she always looks like she's on the edge of laughter, and generally hides her body shape in layers. body type reference
Suggested environments: Sleeping outdoors, cuddled in blanket pile, or just being a cute silly thing (but first, let me take a selfie). Really, just have fun with her.
Anything else we need to know: She wears circle lenses of bright colors to hide her animalistic gold eyes, and hair runs through the spectrum of pink and red, so any shade of that is fine!

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) If you want to, sure!
Did you read and understand the rules of the trade? Yeah
Dabbler or Devotee? Dabbler
Why did you choose that category? Because I am somewhat confident with my art skill.

Character Name: Merin
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: http://www.rprepository.com/c/merin http://pastebin.com/xTgNcHvj <-- some additional info
Species: Dragon (often takes human form)
Gender: Male
Personality: Upbeat, outgoing, kind
Brief physical description of the character:
> The Bard was tall and lean, with brassy hair and odd colored eyes. He was often garbed in silk or velvet and favored greens and golds. He almost always had his lute within reach, although on occasion this was traded out for a harp or a fiddle. He was charismatic, with an exceptional skill and passion for his chosen profession. He was rumored to be capable of charming down a stone wall and had a tendency to talk more than any five people combined ever should. Sometimes a glimpse of a large rather garish key shaped amulet could be seen, or at least, the glint of a thick gold chain. There was a strange energy about the man, who had been both Trickster and Hero, and there was something about him that was just a touch unearthly.

Suggested environments: Tavern common room,(human only) woodlands, meadow.)either form)
Anything else we need to know: Feel free to draw him as a human or dragon, which ever you prefer.

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) No, simply because they do not know each other, so that would be a bit strange.


Character Name: Hox
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: http://www.rprepository.com/c/hox
Species: anthro civet (Otherworld Beast traits)
Gender: Male
Personality: Calm, wise, serious, absent minded, a bit eccentric
Brief physical description of the character:
The Civet was fairly tall, a full 6'3 when flat footed, and prone to wearing boots that bought him about another inch or so. His frame was lean, but not quite to the point of looking lanky or underfed. Rather than the classic brown, grey and black shades more typical of his species, his fur was a pale cream, with dark burnt orange markings. His nose was brown, splotched with pink. His eyes were a vivid flame orange. His hair was an inky black, about shoulder length, but choppy and wild. Short bronze horns stuck up from the out of control shaggy mane. Less noticeable, as it was often covered by his clothing, were bronze colored scales on his abdomen, arms and legs. Typical attire consisted of baggy brown pants tucked into high cuffed boots, tunics or coats in browns or blues, and rarely was he ever without a deep midnight blue hooded cloak, that was a brilliant shade of gold on the inside.

Suggested environments: Library, woodland or mountain path
Anything else we need to know: He's a Wizard, if he'd draw doing any magical stuff, his magical energy tends to be golden/orange, or deep blues, or a mixture of the two. He almost always wears the cloak.

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) No, simply because they do not know each other, so that would be a bit strange.

Character Name: Barton Free
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Scarred up jerk

Brief physical description of the character: A thick chest and legs, a bit stocky but not really wide bodied in particular. A little bit shorter than average, but not actually SHORT either. Very pale and easily flushes in the cold or due to alcohol. He has a mop of dark auburn hair on his head that he hardly brushes, streaked with bits of grey even though he's a bit too young for that.

Suggested environments: Taverns, the woods around a campfire,
Anything else we need to know: The teeth behind his lip scar are badly chipped, so he always has a bit of a wonky smile.
