darkSpyro

Hey, I don't know if this has been done before here, but I wanted to make a Secret Santa event for darkSpyro! :'D
Haha, this is my first time doing anything like this, so lets hope it turns out okay.

darkSpyro Art Secret Santa
So, how this will work is that a list of people will enter to receive a drawing as a present from someone else on the site as a Christmas surprise. I will put everyone into a raffle and you will get a random person to draw for! So each participant will have one person to draw their gift for.

♦ Here are some rules ...

• Everyone is allowed to enter!
  
• I left this a little late, so everyone will have to get in by Saturday, December the 17th (PST), to allow for around a week to get the drawing done. No one will get accepted in after this time, so sorry about that!
  
• Please only participate if you are sure that you'll get the drawing done in time by the deadline! A day or two late is okay, but please be sure to get it done if you enter.
  
• On the day acceptance is closed (the 17th) I will start the raffle and the person that you will draw for will be sent via PM.
  
• To participate in this, all you have to do is mention it in a post you make in this thread! And in the same post write down a wishlist of what you would like to have drawn for you. This would preferably be a list of your own OC's you'd like drawn, but really it could range from anything.
  
• We don't expect full blown amazing illustrations or anything, haha, but please try and put some effort into your drawings!
  
• Lastly, try and have fun!! :'D
  

The deadline to get your drawings in will be Friday, the 23rd December (PST).

Okay, okay, I really want to participate, obviously! Haha.
I'm pretty excited for this. c':

Here's my wishlist of my OC's!
So so so sorry, I don't have any references of my characters just yet!! D':

My dragons! Iteru (female), Bjarndyr (who is blind) and Faihin (both male), his little brother. Here's a WIP ref of these two together. Or Trish (female).

My cats! Poppy (female), a european wildcat cross oriental cat. Harebell (female), a turkish angora cross ojos azules. With the last two, I don't have any other recent drawings of them besides my stylised school works, so I hope they don't look too bad! Snowdrop (male), a singapura cross. He's ginger and white! Or Lupin (male), who is Poppy's brother and also a european wildcat cross oriental. He took most of his mother's looks, while Poppy got her dad's! ;P

Or you could draw any one of my pets!

I don't expect multiple characters, okay, you only have to draw one character (or pet lol). That's completely fine!
Thank you to whoever draws for me!! :'D

Oh, and if you want to have an idea of what my Secret Santa drawing will look like, here's some
examples!

Wish I could do this, but I don't draw good ;~;

Aww, dude, you can still enter, it's okay! But I understand if you don't want to.
I'm sorry.

I'll do it!

Awesome!! :'D
Post up a wishlist!!

Sure thing, dude!
Post up a wishlist so your Secret Santa will know what to draw for you! c:

Okay, thanks guys!
It doesn't matter if you are good at drawing or not! This is about fun and giving stuff, haha. ;>

And Alydol, would you mind posting, or describing Wolfie's body? c:
It might get a bit confusing for the person who draws them if you show only their head.

It says it in the first post, haha!
A PM will be sent to everyone on the 17th stating who they'll be drawing for. c:

Edit: It is clear that lots of people are uncomfortable/inexperienced/etc. with drawing humans, so I'm thinking if you have human OCs that you've put in your wishlist, it might be nice for people who won't draw humans to have an alternative animal character in your wishlist as well? Just in case someone gets picked for your secret santa who doesn't draw humans.
Is that fair?

Hmm ... okay.
But with the PM you don't have to reply or anything, I'll just send it and you'll see it in your inbox.
But if you really don't want me to use it, then I'll just put it on your guestbook. But you gotta make sure to remove it! Maybe notify me when you're online or something on my guestbook. X'D

^ Yiss, sharks are awesome!
Would this be anthro sharks with hair as well? ;p

Hmm ... okay.

When I come on, I'll tell you and then you can send me the thing and then I'll delete it. Does that sound good with you?

Okey, sounds good!

Hmm, yeah, I'm thinking it'd be best if I pick who draws for who, rather than a raffle. X'D
I don't know, I'll see!

So Carm, what would you like drawn for you? c:

Yeah, that's completely fine! You can change it all you want up till Saturday because on Sunday I'll be giving out who everyone's secret santa will be!

Well, everyone will only get one secret santa ... so probably just one drawing. Unless your secret santa wants to draw two or something, haha, I don't know.
But that means everyone only has to draw one picture, which is probably a lot easier for everyone. c;

Sure thing, haha. I added both of you to the list!

Hey, you're not being greedy to request your own OC! That's completely fine if you want Token drawn for you!! :D

This sounds like fun! Just curious though, as I've participated in SS events that slightly vary by rules. Will we be revealed to our match when the gift is given, or will it be kept anonymous?

I am semi experienced in drawing animals, but am only amateur at drawing humans, as I've just started. I can't do cartoon-like styles or anthros well at all.

Wishlist: Any and all animals - mythical or not. Video game related (Assassin's Creed, The Last Guardian, Fallout, etc.) - really, I would be happy with anything!

Well, I'm thinking that the drawing gifts should be posted back in this thread once they are finished, so the person you're drawing for will find out that way.
Unless anyone has any better ideas about how the gifts should be revealed?
But I don't think that the secret santas should remain anonymous once the gifts are completed. Although, if anyone wants to be anonymous, I guess you can tell me and I'll post the gift up for you?

Great! I'm so glad that this is kicking off! :'D
Thanks to everyone so far who are willing to participate, I'm so excited!
Also, there's approx. two days left for anyone else to get get in, because after that I'll do the raffle to see who gets to draw for who! I'll try to organise it though so that everyone gets to draw something that they are comfortable with. So if you don't want to draw a human I'll try to organise it so that you get someone who would like an animal drawing instead.
