~2014 SUMMER ART EXCHANGE- SIGNUPS!!!~ by houndbound

~SUMMER ART EXCHANGE 2014~

It's just a summer thing

Welcome to the 2014 Summer Art Exchange! It's a secret-santa style exchange where you submit a character, then I scramble everyone up and give out drawing assignments so everyone gets a surprise! Let's get some quick rules out of the way!

  • PLEASE, please only sign up if you will have time to finish! This is the big one! It's no fun when you do your part but somebody else doesn't do theirs. I know real life happens and if something comes up, please contact me as soon as possible, otherwise I'll have to blacklist you and adopt out the person you were drawing for.

  • Any kind of character is accepted, but since we're on FA, most participants will be most comfortable with anthro-type characters. There's a preferences space in my sign up form and I try to match people up the best I can, but please keep this in mind!

  • There isn't a hard quality control bar on my exchanges, but I do ask that you be comfortable with basic anatomy!

  • Alternatively, don't be a snob! Artists of all sorts of skill levels will be joining and if you feel you'll have a problem receiving art below your own, please do not join.

  • Remember to read your character assignment carefully. If you have any questions, direct them to me and I'll act as the middleman between you and your chosen.

  • Please do not do adult artwork for this exchange.

  • You may submit more than one character, but remember your chosen person only has to draw ONE of them!

  • Traditional art is welcome too, just please have means of uploading a nice scan of it, especially if you don't plan on mailing it out (Though that would be nice of you!)

Got all that? Great! To enter, just fill out the form below, one comment per character!

Sign up deadline is Sunday, June 15th and posting deadline will be on Sunday, July 22nd! Keep your eye open for the check-in journals and turn-in journals!

THE FORM

Character’s name:
Species:
Sex:
Gender (character identifies as...):

Any specific theme? (these will all summer themed): Suggested themes- swimming, a day at the beach, summer fashion, running through the sprinkler, tropical, soak up the sun, etc! Have fun!

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! :) Also, feel free to pimp this journal to your friends! I'm also advertising this on FurAffinity, so if you’d rather not have to visit FA to view peoples’ refs, then it might be best you don’t join since I’ll be matching up people from BOTH sites.

  • Link

    Aw man, I really hoped Weasyl exchange would be separate since I don't have any anthro characters and while I'm okay drawing anthros there's no point for me to join an exchange where half the participants aren't comfortable drawing humans.

    • Link

      People have had human chars drawn before, and unless they list that they're not comfortable drawing humans, they're fair game as far as subject matter! But it's up to you whether or not you'd like to join with human chars. I just don't have the time/energy to devote to two separate exchanges :/

      • Link

        Nah, it's understandable, no worries. Organising such things does take a lot of effort. :]

  • Link

    I always give the option of two characters! I'm super excited for this exchange, I need to get back into the game haha :>

    Juuuust as a question, since it's not in the rules up there, can we turn in art BEFORE the deadline? I'm going to be in an area with possibly spotty internet around the time of the deadline and I want to make sure my recipient gets their art.

    • Link

      Good question! I usually post my turn-in journal up about a week before the deadline, but if you need to turn in before I post that, you can send me a link to the pic and I'll post it on the journal for you if you're not around!

      • Link

        Cool; it looks like I'll be leaving on the 13th so I'll have to post it beforehand and link it to you. Thanks :D
