2014 MONSTER MASH EXCHANGE SIGNUPS! by houndbound

~MONSTER MASH ART EXCHANGE 2014~
So I stood and looked about
I brushed the leaves off of my snout...

Welcome to the 2014 MONSTER MASH 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!

This year's exchange is gonna be a little different in that there will be a SET THEME: instead of drawing each others' characters in costume, you will be drawing them as MONSTERS! If you've already got a monster/were character feel free to join with them, otherwise expect whatever character you join with to be monster-ified! You may throw out some ideas when you join such as "please draw what you think the were-version of my character would look like!" etc... otherwise expect the results to vary depending on what the artist feels like!

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! (Also like I said, expect your character to be CHANGED!)

  • 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 form per character (all in one comment)!

Sign up deadline is Friday October 3rd and posting deadline will be on Friday October 31st! Keep your eye open for the check-in journals and turn-in journals! (The turn-in journal is usually posted ~1 week before the deadline so you can turn in early if you want!)

THE FORM

Character’s name:
Species:
Sex:
Gender (character identifies as...):
Brief description (also anything not covered in ref pictures):
References:
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!
Anything you’re not comfortable drawing?: (Humans, birds, etc…)

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.

    oh man I'm so in for this one

    MONSTER-FY A NORMAL CHARACTER:
    Character’s Name: Naples
    Species: Yellow Mongoose
    Sex/Gender: Neutral/male-ish
    Description: The old ref sheet is still accurate enough, though the metal teeth are mandatory these days.
    References: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/23831/naples-ref-2012
    Themes: Any kind of monster is fine! Were-beast, zombie, ghost, vampire, whatever! I would prefer to keep the rating PG at most with this guy, though.

    OR

    ALREADY-A-MONSTER CHARACTER:
    Character’s Name: Siddyx
    Species: Chimera
    Sex/Gender: Male
    Description: Sorry I don't have a good full-body view, but the lower half of his body belongs to a huge red worm. Give him whatever gross features you want.
    References: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/18283/mortal-coils
    Themes: Mad science, magic and medicine gone wrong, parasitism, body horror... you can totally go nuts, and any/all blood and gore is fine within the rules of the exchange.

    Anything you’re not comfortable drawing?: I am not super great at humans but there is no character I'll refuse to draw.

    Sex: Male
    Gender (character identifies as...): Male
    Brief description (also anything not covered in ref pictures): He's a horror from beyond but he's actually a big softie. More personality description in the ref.
    References: https://www.weasyl.com/character/41684/scythe-mask
    Any specific theme? Have fun with it. He's already super creepy so just roll with whatever you want.

    Character’s name: Hunter
    Species: Greater Sooty Owl

    Gender (character identifies as...): None

    Any specific theme? Eh, you have an imagination, just use that.
