Howdy everyone. Hope finals week isn't giving you too much trouble (it is finals week, right? Or midterms? I hope its not giving you trouble anyway). I'm here to announce the next annual gift stream. For those that are new watchers of mine that may not know, each year I do a stream where you can get a gift for someone else for free. It works just like any of my usual in-stream raffles only you cannot get something for yourself or of your characters. The idea is that this allows you to get a gift for a friend even if you cannot strictly afford to. Its a fun time for everyone involved and I get to draw some cool looking characters that I may not get the chance to otherwise :D

Lets talk details!

• The stream will be this Friday (12/16/16) at my normal time, normal place (5PM Pacific Time, https://www.tigerdile.com/stream/zaezardraws/ ) This is the earliest in the season this stream has been. Mainly because I will be out of town on the 20th and this is the closest day I will stream to Christmas.
• I will not take anything related to the stream now. All the raffles for the event are held in-stream after I finish a drawing. I will go over how to enter the raffle every time, don't worry about not knowing how to enter.
• Try to have a ref handy. It will be put in the stream chat when I ask you to, so a SFW image would be best. If you do not have a SFW reference sheet, then a NSFW one will be fine with fair warning. I would prefer people to not click the link and see things they didn't want to see unexpectedly. I can work with a few drawings of the character and not strictly a reference as well.
• You CANNOT get artwork of your characters or for yourself. Where is the holiday spirit in that?
• I currently don't know how many I will take in the stream. Probably five or so? I have energy drinks. We will determine when the stream will end later haha. The minimum time for these streams is three hours. So around then or more is a safe bet.
• The next day I will upload as many of the drawings as I can reasonably space in a day. Some may get put to the next day depending on various things. If the person that you gifted follows me they will know when its uploaded. Sorry about that. I won't be around my computer for over a week so I cannot upload them at a time closer to Christmas. Feel free to send them a link to the drawing or whatnot when you choose to. I will inform the people that asked for the drawing when its uploaded!
• Lastly, and most importantly, the artwork! They will be like this:https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1405738/winter-viola-sketch I have fallen in love with this sketch pen/tool and am getting quite fast and good with it. So expect halfbodies, some simple shading, and grayscale stuff. No it doesn't have to be them complaining about winter :P

Since I know I will get this question, you cannot get the art of you and the character. That would be two characters and would take up a lot of time no matter how you cut it. I'm sorry if you wanted something really close with your SO or good friend, but I just can't justify doing that rather than another gift for someone else.

With all that out of the way, I hope I see you in the stream soon! It should be a blast as it always is this time of year!
