Art Exchange 2.0: Fantasy

[no_id]

(Also, holy crud-- this board has only been up two days and we already have the amount of participants as the last exchange! I wonder how many more we'll get? 8D)

Blame the lurkers.

[Pica Pica]

Poor Lurkers, they weren't a great band but still...

Oh noooo-- what happened to your hand? D8 Hand injuries are hard on people's abilities to join art exchanges. It's very unfortunate.

I strained it, but it feels a lot better today so I'll sign up.

Your Name: Lachlann

MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

[Fenrir]

Jumpin' in! I refuse to miss this one 

Your Name: Fenrir
What you want drawn: An invertebrate of any kind. I don't mind how you interpret that, make it into anything from a swarm of spiders to a lobster-dragon if you wish! 
What you can draw: People or animals in a kind of cartoony-realism style (like anime). I can do abstract stuff if people want me to. If people are after landscapes or proper realism, I may fail.
Examples of your art: I haven't updated my DeviantART account in over 2 years now (so it's stuff from when I was 16/17), but here is a fantasy creature I drew: http://bluebellblood.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dyg5q6
And here's proof I can draw people (but I have no idea what I was thinking with that nasty yellow background, I was young and foolish! >.<) Also, my people have noses now: http://bluebellblood.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dzyzd1
Abstract: http://bluebellblood.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dy0jzy
Willing to Sub: No, sorry. I don't check here often enough to guarantee I would get the message (yay lurkers...?)

I'm looking forward to this! 

[Crow]

We now have a dozen participants! 8D (Are we eggs or donuts? Who knows.)

Anyone else? Remember, tomorrow is the deadline for sign-ups!

[Coppélia]

Classes just finished right on time! Now I have a whole month off for drawing!

Dum dum DUM!!!... It's the 23rd.
Curious to find out what my drug of choice will be.

I was just about to ask "it's the 23rd where?" then I realized that Wednesday was the 21 and that I failed to remember it's Friday.

[Crypt77]

Ok now it's the 23rd!

[Crow]

Alright, it's the 23rd and I think everyone who's going to sign up has signed up-- time to get everyone matched up!

I should have assignments sent out before the end of the day. 83

[Osiris]

I wonder if for the second time in a row I can predict which one I'll get.

I guess you shall find out soon-- I'm about to start sending out assignments. |D

Prepare for incoming assignment notes! And as usual, if you absolutely, positively can't draw whatever you were assigned to draw, please get back to me ASAP so I can try to solve the issue before everybody else has already started their pictures.


EDIT//

Alright, PMs have been sent out! 8D

[no_id]

Hasj it is!!!! 

... And probably some vodka for the colouring...

[Miniar]

Got it, got ideas too...

[no_id]

First serious sketch done... At this rate I'll be done way too soon...

Do several versions, see which you like best. It'll take more time and who knows, you might like the later ones better.

[Lachlann]

Yeah, thumbnail sketches tend to be very useful even if you pick the first one.

[no_id]

Yup definitely still have some work to do. I tend to be one of those oddballs who first does sketches of everything seperate and then with an actual composition sketch do various sketches on the same piece of paper. Add some coloured markers to that to distinguish the lines I actually want to use and you got a pretty trippy assembly.
