Holiday Time Art Giveaway by Skulldog

Every year I try to do some sort of give away over December, usually in the form of free art. Let's do another one this year okay?

Rules are simple, one comment per person, and all comments must abide by the following:

  • Please only link ONE character, not a huge list or collection. (This can be art by you, art by other people, a written description ect)
  • Sum up the character a little.
  • Tell me one good thing you did this year / why you totally deserve some art.

You can make a request for yourself, request for a friend's character, or someone you thinks needs a boost this year.
Comments don't garuntee art, I'll be picking a few people to draw for based on cool character designs, or a really nice comment about what they did this year.
What kind of art will I be doing? I have no idea yet, whatever strikes me, from colored sketches to digital head shots, maybe more?

And hey, if you think this is cool? Share it with your friends, a little boost helps me get my art out into the deeper reaches of the web. (I have commissions slots for December open as well: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/98542/commissions-for-december-queue-open)

Hope everyone has a great December!

    Character's name is Eura.

    *wanted to include more images to get a feel for the character~

    Lives carefree, but cares a great deal about a lot of things. Scorpio/Libra. Blunt but scared to be.
    Smokes pot and the occasional cigarette. Loves music, coffee, tarot, magic, and movies. Sweet. Sensitive. Distant sometimes.


    Eura is my real life bff. She's had a rough 4 years, getting out of one shitty relationship and entering into another,
    all while losing majority of her friends to the madness. She's been battling a severe depression, but still reaches
    out to help other people, when she can barely make it through the day herself. She's gone back to school and puts
    on a smile, when she can barely drag herself out of bed in the morning. She's a brave girl, but I know she needs
    that upper from time to time, and the holiday season is one of those times for her.

    Thank you for doing this for people. Happy holidays <3

    Thanks for the chance! Well, I guess I'll sum up whatever I have of this character in words because I don't have a ref of him.


    Character's Name: Pacha Kamaq
    Species: Triceratops
    Gender: Male
    Body Type: Athletic but with a bit of bodybuilder

    Kamaq is pretty much yellow all over with green eyes. He has white spots on his back which don't extend to the tail. Under his tail and on his horns, claws and chest, he has this color: http://www.color-hex.com/color/cccc99

    Kamaq is supposed to be a god deity, but despite appearances, he is actually relaxed and forgiving. He's only serious when he needs to be, though, and isn't a stranger to war.


    Okay, so...

    This school year was really hectic, actually. Apart from this being the last year of school I have, I also joined the Scout movement in Peru, something I've wanted to do ever since I was in the US. Since then, I think I've been overall more helpful with practically everyone.

    I guess it was a turning point for me. The movement finally made me feel like I belong somewhere, and that I wasn't hated by everyone. It's made me more outgoing and I've met some incredible people along the way. So... not only do I help others, but I also helped myself. And I guess that was my life goal all along.


    Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

    Character name: Justine

    About: She's the nasty underground business lord you wanna pay your protection money to. Also loves collecting little glass horses.

    As far as good thing goes, I've been acting as an impromptu councelor for trans youth in my country. Via whatsapp, but hey, gotta start somewhere! Also found homes for some shelter pups!

    Well.. the nicest thing I've done/felt good for doing was becoming my dog's owner. My sisters old roommate picked her up from a parking lot and because she's a 'bully' breed, she would have been put down at the shelters. :/ But now she's my baby and we love each other so much. She means the world to me:

      Well... forgot to sum up my character? haha.
      Monk is a big teddy-kitty. He's a bit over-confident and can be cocky sometimes, but has good intentions and has his peoples backs. :)

    Yay! Thank you for your consideration!

    Character: Wyndermere wolf https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1053741/road-trip-pg-16

    Description: Absent-minded magician. He's highly creative and very easy-going. He doesn't tend to have a lot of extreme emotions, usually just pretty laid back and rolls with the punches. He loves snacks and can easily get side-tracked. His mind's always moving on random things.

    One good thing I did this year: I took in a baby cat from the street and send a total of over $150 to the Feral Cat Program of GA to help with all the other many new stray kittens that were born this year.

    For: Nashua Click (@Nashua_c on twitter and Nashuac on FA), my fiance.

    Character: https://www.weasyl.com/character/56092/nashua

    Description: He's kind of naive and doesn't understand how living creatures normally act as he is a robot who has been transformed into something organic. I usually draw him kind of wide-eyed and confused. He is very kind and loving though despite his naivety and wishes nothing but good on others. There is also a description on the above link.

    One good thing he did this year: Oh my gosh, he has done so much! One thing that stands out that he did recently is he helped a really good friend of ours clean her entire house, unpack, decorate, and organize stuff because she has rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's so stuff like that can be really hard for her. He is so giving and kind though, he is always getting gifts for people even when he barely has any money and puts everyone before himself. He's had a really hard time this year with a close family member being close to death and some other personal problems but he has still been so nice and loving to everyone around him. If I started to list off the things he has done for me just in the last 6 months, i'd end up writing an enormous essay. For example, during Thanksgiving, my family went to the mountains and rented near where my brother lives so we could be all together. I got horrendously sick the whole time and he took really good care of me while everyone else was kind of ignoring me. He kept me hydrated, rubbed my back, and did everything in his power he could do to get me better.. stayed by my side the whole time. <3

    ANyway... I will stop before this gets ENDLESSLY LONG.. But he is seriously one of the sweetest people on the planet. We've been together since 2001 and he just keeps becoming a nicer and kinder person with every year somehow. ;_;

    He has a description there, but one thing not included is that his fire colored fur CAN be drawn as actual fire!

    This is my boyfriend's character, not mine. So I'll give a bit about both of us.

    Earlier this year I was in an incredibly dangerous living situation. Despite him being absolutely terrified of change he left his parents house and found an apartment with me, the DAY before it would have been to late and I would have had to move two states away. He now works a full time, and part time job in order to provide for us and allow me to focus on my artwork. He has helped me out of so many crummy situations and given me a second chance at life that I can't thank him enough. In return I take care of all of the housework and pets while he's at work. He's just and absolutely amazing person and wonderful guy so I would absolutely love to gift him with artwork of his character this holiday season.

    Your work is wonderful, and I can't wait to see whatever it is you decide to do!
