Art Swap

MOST DRAWINGS RECEIVED i'm so grateful aaaaaaaaaa i love every single one of you!! that's so many cherrim!!!!!! and thank you once again EOs for manually counting every Pikachu so I could eke into third place. I'd say I won't do it again but I have in fact already promised to do it again next year (whether Chura asks for Pikachu again or not).

Bear with me because I want to thank EVERYONE!!!

I genuinely GENUINELY love these LMFAO. The first one is so good it's like Imakuni? from the TCG game mixed with Attack on Titan. The smile is perfectly unsettling and I love the shading??? A very chiselled face. I feel like perhaps I could do without the third eye on the second piece but also maybe that third eye is what awakened my drawing powers for Team Aqua so you did what had to be done. Thank you!!!

@Aquacorde [1]
SURFING CHERRIM!!! Look at it go omg!! I really love the water in this, it's so sparkly and the blues are so pleasing. And I love how Cherrim's petals are all zooming in the wind. This is so creative and I absolutely love it!!

@Arcaneum [1][2][3][4]
Oh I'd wondered why you suddenly asked about the speed art times. I wasn't sure if you were just gonna run the event yourself after it was cancelled or what but it didn't come up again and I forgot. But now I see!! I love that you have pre-made me some avatars, already perfectly circle cropped. These are all so cute. I especially love the shading on the ones you had more time for, it looks so soft!!! The expressions are all adorable, too. I love them thank you!!

@Auticorn [1]
Ahh so cute!! I love her lil feet hahaha. I really love the soft colours and the flag is really cute. It me!!! Thank you so much! :D

@Celèste1 [1][2][3]
Oh these are so cute! I love that they're all overcast form! It doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves. The one with the bed is so relatable.... when ur just not tall enough to get up on the bed so you sleep on the carpet instead. u_u It's so cute though, I love them all! Thank you!

@Chr. Draco [1]
OMG it's a whole patch of Cherrim!! Again I'm thrilled to see overcast form. :D I love the varying sizes, like some are just little and some a huuuge. What a wonderful drawing, thank you!

@Cosmega [1]
Omg two of them! They're so thrilled, I love them!! I love sunny form jumping for joy and overcast still being so happy <3 Thank you!!

@faf [1]
I said on discord already but aaa i love her! The cherrim hairpin is just my fave ♥♥ She looks beautiful faf thank you!!! \o/

@gimmepie [1][2][3]
Oh I love all of these so much!! I love the sunshine motif on the umbrella Cherrim is using to shelter from the rain in the first one, it's such a cute touch along with the little forlorn expression. The second one is so cute, I really love the scene with the windmill and everything. The lighting has Cherrim looking kind of mischevious I think it is planning something.............. And oouuughgh the last one i am in LOVE!!! Oh my god the colours! The vibes!!!!!!!! I love this so much, good call on changing her outfit and I love it but thE BOOTS are still there! (They are the best boots in the game I'm so pleased). Oughgh Ijust love everything about this, the area is recognizable and everything just looks so fantastic. Thank you!!!

@Groc [1]
Oh so cute! I don't know that I understand the props (flashlight and mirror..? warrior of light pun...?) but this is a 10/10 Cherrim! Thank you! :D

@Orcaline [1]
I said I would love any Cherrim and damnit i mean it.. This one seems a bit malnourished/dehydrated to make its muscles pop which makes me sad but at the risk of further sounding like a feet person, I love the pedicure. Very nice details, Inky thank u

@Juno [1][1]
thank you for not doing peperim too years in a row PIRATE CHERRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two of them!!! oh nmy god these are so so cute. The proportions on sunshine Cherrim are so cute and perfect and I just love the thick lines and colours on both. thank youuuu!!

@Kitty [1][2][3]
omg TAKE A BOW, CHERRIM u did great ;w; I love all of these so much. I love your art styles so much. You have such clean lines and a great sense of form and everything you make is honestly such a joy to look at ESPECIALLY when it's Cherrim. I'm obsessed with the brushwork in the last one. The colours and the brush strokes and the everything I just love it so much!!!

@Lavender [1]
Oh my gosh look at them! They're so cute up in the cherry blossom tree. Idk why overcast Cherrim is sad but I'm sure sunny Cherrim can cheer it up <3 Thank you, I love them, they're so so cute in such a beautiful tree!!!

@LeGoldenWolf [1]
When I say I gasped the first time I saw this last night, I love it!! Such a creative way to get the Team Aqua clothing in and I love the logo tattooed (??? hahaha) on the petal. This Cherrim is ready to be up to no good!!! Love the subtle waterfall backdrop too! :D

@Mersie [1][2][3][4][5][6]
SIX cherrim!?!!?? you are nuts but i love it. Every single one is so cute, I love the way you draw Cherrim so much!!! I love all of them of course but I think my favourite is 3/the one where it's just sort of... looking down.... there is so much emotion in that and i resonate strongly with it. maybe it's watchin a lil bug. The T-pose one made me laugh too. Man he's just a lil guy in all these!! I love it!!

@ReKoil [1]
Omg!! Cheering Cherrim!!! This is sooo cute it's so happy ;__; I love the pink pom poms and it's the perfect little cheerleader. Gooo team!

@Sammi [1]
Sammi you knocked it out of the park again this year...... pleading blue cherrim... 🥺 I love him. Please give Morwen pets from me for drawing it all by herself.

@Sapphire Rose [1][2]
I said already but I'm so blown away by your wol art for everyone. It's astoundingly cute and so well done. I love the clean lines and the composition is perfect for a sticker/emote. You're so good at this!! And omg the loading face is TOO REAL this is me doing any mechanic. It's so perfect thank you!!! And the Cherrim is sooo cute, I wanna scoop her up and squeeze her. I love them both thank you!!!!!!

Okay phew I think that's everyone! (If I missed anyone please let me know I put pings in this for a reason, I want everyone to see how grateful I am!!!) I had such a big grin going through my folder (and everyone's, but especially mine). It took me like half an hour to get to sleep last night because I was smiling so hard looking back through the folder.

I've said it a couple times but thank you so much again to Kitty, gimmepie, and Lavender. You all did a fantastic job again this year and Art Swap, while sort of quietly existing in the background for most of the GT (well, for some of us LOL), ended up such a highlight again. It's really quite magical how the end of GT used to be just sort of a sad affair where everyone goes their separate ways again... once it was clear which team was winning, you could just sort of sense the energy shifting and dampening but like... that simply isn't the case anymore! Now when GT ends, we all get to see the results of everyone's art and it's like Christmas because you get to see all the art you received AND you get to see everyone react to your own efforts. It's just such a complete 180 in vibes from how the end of GT usually feels and it really makes it feel like a big celebration of everyone's work. I love it a lot and I'm gonna carry the warm feelings with me into the next few weeks at least as I look back on everyone's art again and again. So thank you for running it because I know it's a lot of work behind the scenes and we all appreciate it so much!!

Glad you enjoyed them, I'm not the best at drawing yet, since I only picked up on it this Februrary, but it was still a lot of fun! Also did you not get the Sunlight Form I did? Well technically two (or three if you count the small hidden one in the picture with the sleepy cherrim on the carpet x'D) but since they both looked so similar cuz they were based on the same reference picture, the cleaner one was maybe only counted!
 
Am out and about so will get to this later (and copy Erica haha) but can I just say I can't believe @Celèste1 and the rest of the self-haters have been sandbagging the whole GT saying they can't draw and producing what they have omg
I'm just glad that people liked my drawings, I spent hours on pretty much every single one of them x'D I am just very self-conscious about my skills, even if I know that Art takes time and practice to achieve, my self-esteem is very low in pretty much every aspect of my life. Also special thanks to Mersie and the rest of y'all that encouraged me to try it out! (Without it I'm not sure if I would have had the courage to join myself)

I'm thrilled you liked it all. I kept doing more art for you because I kept deciding I wasn't happy with the last one lmao. Hilariously, especially the digital painting which was both the first one I did and also your favourite. So long as you're pleased with it, I suppose I'll have to be satisfied too!

Edit: And thank you for being such a prominent participant yet again!

I was just going by the spreadsheet but if you have an extra one please send it along!! ♥

Oh so cute! I don't know that I understand the props (flashlight and mirror..? warrior of light pun...?) but this is a 10/10 Cherrim! Thank you! :D
I knew it would be hard to top last year's animation of Cherrim changing forms, so I'm glad you gave another option in the form of Warrior of Light Cherrim. Unfortunately, I don't know what "Warrior of Light" means, so I just guessed that she was a warrior, and her weapon and shield were based on light. Yes, it was a pun, and I think I turned Cherrim into a Kirby character partway through, lmao. But I'm glad you liked it! I was betting no one else would give Cherrim a flashlight!
 
I KNOW I'M LATE BUT I DIDNT'T KNOW YOU COULD SEE WHO MADE THE ART YOU RECEIEVED AND I JUST WANNA THANK EVERYBODY AAAAAAAA

Thank you @Cherrim for this drawing, I absolutely adore the colours!!

Thank you @Lavender for this me dunking in bowl of rice, it's incredible and I would definitely do that irl.

Thank you @Megan for this one of me balancing a rice bowl in my head, I can tell he's concentrating really hard.

Thank you @Mersie for all of these omg there's so many of them, THEY'RE SO ADORABLE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Thank you @SteCisGreendog for this drawing, I will forever try and follow the advice of Chill Eevee.
