Is it that time of year?? The most joyous and festive time of the year???
Sign-up Deadline: December 8th
Drawing Deadline: January 5th
How does it work & how to participate: So, most of you should be aware of the concept of Secret Santa, an anonymous gift giving; in our case though the gifts are all replaced with images, so consider it a big, anonymous art trade! If you'd like to join in, make sure to send kolohe , Kiwi, Zephyri, uppa , or myself a private message on Smogon writing what you'd like somebody to draw for you. You can feel free to drop a post in this thread letting others know that you will be participating, but do keep in mind that sending a host the PM is a must. Sending in a request also means that you'll be drawing someone else's request as well, so please don't sign up if you don't think you'll be able to actually finish the drawing, because you're making things less enjoyable for others as well as making things more difficult for the hosts and helper elves. Don't do that. Anyways, once we reach the sign up deadline you'll get a PM from a host containing the request you'll need to draw, which once it's completed you need to send back to the same host. Simple as that!
General Rules:
- The request should be Pokemon-related - This is still a pokemon forum, so with that in mind crossovers are allowed as long as it's not too obscure.
- No insane requests - You wouldn't want to be tortured by a mad request either, so don't do this to others. Keep it manageable.
- The request/finished drawing must be sent via forum PM to kolohe , Kiwi, Zephyri, uppa , or myself - Letting us know on Discord won't do the trick, since we'll probably forget about it.
- Do NOT tell anybody what request you got, or what request you sent - That's the whole point of Secret Santa after all!
- Do not request anything questionable - Nothing explicitly sexual or violent. Those who attempt to slide past this rule will be banned from participating!
- You may change your request at any time, until sign ups deadline - So you don't have to tear your hair out thinking of something. Once the deadline for sign ups has transpired, however, it's too late for any changes!
- Get your drawing done - As I already pointed out, don't join if you can't actually finish your drawing in time. Someone is trying hard to finish up the the drawing you requested, so try to respect their effort as well as the person whose request you received.
- Digital art, Traditional art and Pixel art are all allowed - In case you were wondering, both traditional and pixel artwork are just fine as well!
Oh and don't hesitate to join if you don't think you're good or skilled enough to draw something. The effort is what matters the most, just have fun and be jolly!
