Art Swap

  • ART SWAP

    Do you like making art? Do you like getting art? What if I told you this was an event where you can do both of those things?

    The Art Swap is exactly what it sounds like in the title- and it's back for a round two! Participants will create artwork for each other to earn points and eventually everyone will leave here with both some cool art and also points for their GT team.

    HOW IT WORKS

    When you post to join, drop a small list of things you would like to receive art of. Then, throughout the Get-Together, you create art for other participants according to their lists. Whenever you complete a bit of art, you send it to all three of us (Kitty , gimmepie , Lavender ), using the form below. Then, at the end of the Get-Together, everyone who has submitted at least one bit of art will receive any art made for them.

    TO WHOM: (username)
    ART: (attachment)
    POLISH? YES/NO (refer to the points below)

    Note: Please try to keep your requests fairly simple! People are going to be trying to do a fair amount of art here. It's okay to say "I would like art of Cradily and Appletun." It is not okay to say "I would like a collage of every grass, rock and dragon type in the game." By the same token, if you're caught using AI to generate your art or tracing other people's artworks, you will be immediately disqualified.

    POINTS

    As you submit art, you will earn points for yourself depending on the level of completion of the artwork you submit. It's a bit more complicated this time, with five different factors! We will compute them all for the total score, and you can double check to see if you agree.

    LINES
    Rough Sketch -> +5
    Has construction lines, stray marks and forms
    Clean Sketch/Lined/Lineless -> +10
    Little to no construction lines

    Rough Sketch - Clean Sketch/Lined/Lineless

    COLOR
    Uncolored -> +0
    Rough Color -> +5
    Uneven, sketchy, or unfinished colors that may spill outside of the linework. Also applies to linework where only parts of the character is colored even if it's intentional in design.
    Clean Color -> +10
    There is little or no color spill, characters are toned or colored appropriately.

    Uncolored - Rough Color - Clean Color

    SHADING
    Unshaded -> +0
    Minimal Shading -> +5
    Shading appears in one or two places, but not visible in the entire piece. One gradient layer counts as minimal shading.
    Fully Shaded -> +10
    Consistent shading, influenced by one or more light sources.

    Unshaded - Minimal Shading - Fully Shaded

    BACKGROUND
    No/Minimal Background -> +0
    Transparent, gradient, or photographed background and works that use premade brushes.
    Pattern/Abstract -> +5
    Self-made designs and patterns that aren't overly simple.
    Props -> +10
    Several elements in the background but doesn't fully make up an environmental scene.
    Scene -> +20
    Distinct setting with a foreground, midground, background. Background has to match the quality of the character drawn else it would be under props or pattern level.

    POLISH?
    Only if you're super proud of this -> +10
    Mention this if you feel like you put an extraordinary amount of effort that deserves extra points. Misuse is discouraged and will be deducted.

    At the end of the GT, all participants who submitted at least one piece of art will earn participation points for their team. The three players who earned the highest score will also earn additional points on top of that.

    FAQ

    We'll be adding to this as we go, but here's the FAQ from last year:

    - You can submit your work to us via PM OR Discord
    - You can draw someone's prompt an infinite number of times (e.g. drawing 1000 Cherrims)
    - You can use paint, draw traditionally, etc.
    - If you feel like your art deserves the POLISH score addition, let us know when you send the artwork!

    Hi so
    This is Buddy and Nimbus, I love them both. I would love art of them :plead: Buddy Evolve.pngNimbus Pawmot.png
    If they are in an image together I will give cookies

    Info on them:

    Buddy is really dumb but a big sweetheart, he p much understands nothing.

    Nimbus is training to be a doctor and is really smart but bad at social situations. She loves Buddy romantically and has told him. Buddy doesnt understand what that means.

    Edit:
    I'm now throwing my Fennekin, Stardust and Meowscarada Gijinka, Tabbitha (for those who prefer drawing humans) into the fray for peeps who want someone diff to draw of mine >w<

    Stardust: Cheerleader sort, not very bright, aro/ace but flirts with others, she has no idea what flirting means, also she likes being considered cute and has a bit of a fiery temper when considered not cute.
    Also she sometimes trips over her ear fur.
    Stardust.png
    Tabbitha.png
    Tabbitha: A travelling saleswoman, acts p enigmatic and can be very sassy. She's very charismatic and persuasive. She also loves playing tricks and making people think she's a ghost.

    I request pictures of my fatass cat partaking in one or perhaps all of the following activities:

    - sunbathing (and refusing to come inside)
    - playing with catnip bubbles (and mildly frightened when the big ones pop)
    - thinking tangerines are toys for his amusement

    here are some sunbathing photos for inspiration, his instagram that I really need to update is in my signature

    20240714_172047.jpg 20240714_172050.jpg 20240714_172053.jpg

    HENLO

    I also want to join c:

    My tiny list:
    • Neoma, my snow-leopard Demi-human from a DnD campaign. I don't have original art of her yet so it would make me extremely happy. No, really. You don't understand how happy it would make me.
    • Kiara, my jedi from a Star Wars DnD campaign. I love her.
    • a Sylveon
    • an Oshawott.

    Any of those make me very happy I'm very normal about them I promise. The toyhouse links includes both of Neoma and Kiara's backstories if anyone's interested. Also if you want to know about our Star Wars campaign, I'm also very normal about that I promise.
