Art Exchange 2.0: Fantasy

[Silver]

Thank you.

[Crow]

The same deal we've been doing sounds good. But others will probably be more busy than I, so mini exchange?

Theme suggestion- "Brought to life."

Oh man, I LOVE that theme idea. I definitely think we need to use it sometime in the near future, for suresies!

Do we want to use that one for a mini-exchange, or would we want to save it for the next regular-size exchange since it's such a good one?

[Jeatyn]

I think the mini should be theme-less

[Crow]

I think the mini should be theme-less

Yeah, that is what I'm thinking, too-- it's a little tricky to cram a theme into no background/shading basic artstuffs.

So far it's looking something like this (tenatively, of course):

Mini Exchange (themeless) handouts in maybe late October?

then

Big Exchange (theme: Brought to Life) staring early November with handouts around New Year


...thoughts?

I think the art exchange should go on during the winter, but I won't be able to participate.  I'm going to be in England and very very busy. xD I don't expect to have much free time based off of the last time I was in England--I went somewhere almost every day and the days I didn't were filled with me sleeping because of jetlag. xD

I'm for mini-sessions and I'll be able to participate in them, especially since I won't have to do a background or something similar.

[Jeatyn]

if the handouts are late October when would it start?

[Miniar]

... as long as there is MOAR! I'm good.

[Crow]

if the handouts are late October when would it start?

Probably sign-ups will start as soon as handouts for this exchange happen. Sign-ups usually last about a week, then there's a week of bumper-space between deadline and handouts, so it'll equate to about a month of drawing-time (give or take a bit).

Hate that I missed this.  I love fantasy art.

Join the next one! (Even if the specific theme isn't fantasy, you're welcome to ask for whatever you want, fantasy included.)

sounds awesome to me!

[Crypt77]

Lol more time for me = more procrastination.   

[Silver]

Same here

Mini exchange sounds good, don't care as long as there continue to be exchanges. They're rather fun.

[Fenrir]

The mini-exchange plan sounds a good one, because however much I love drawing backgrounds kill me! I always do them way too elaborate and they take thrice as long as the actual subject of the picture. 
In other news, I should be done by later tonight, internet connection permitting (getting something in by the deadline? Gosh, this is new for me) as this accursed background needs colouring in. And elaborating on. (I do it to myself, I really do...) I hope my scanner doesn't kill it now! I'm excited to see everyone else's soon!

[Coppélia]

yeah...i didn't do a background for this one >.< should i go back and try? I rarely give my drawings a background

[Coppélia]

quick and dirty background done I apologize to my recipient, this is not the best I've ever done.

[Fenrir]

Coppelia, didn't you say your cat ate the original? I sympathise, my cat eats paper too, it's horrible (especially seeing as she can't resist photographs...) So you've had less time than we have to do it. If it's mine, I don't care about the background. 
In other news... done! Well, where I live, it's technically now the 31st, but I reckon it's still the 30th over in America (where most of you are) so I'm counting that as an on-time submission! 

[Crow]

Yep, you're on time!

And on that note: Everybody who hasn't asked for an extension(/substitute) has turned in, now! And I suspect the rest are soon to follow-- looks like we'll have everything in in time for teh scheduled handout date, most likely! 8D

This automatically gives everyone +5 awesome points by the by.
Almost every previous art-trade I've been witness to or more has had at least one person "not turning in on time".

So, everyone should go have a cookie!
