December's coming up fast, and you know what that means. It's time to go out and exchange heartfelt gifts to your fellow knights! All forms of medium and skill are welcome, be it digital or traditional, art guru or beginner squire. Share this event to all your friends; the more the merrier!

How does this work?

In this event, you'll be submitting a form where you describe what you'd like your secret Santa to draw for you as well as any extra details. Once the application period ends, I'll run the names of all the participants through a scrambler then I'll send a private message to everyone of their recipient and what they have to draw. You will have until December 25th to finish your artwork!

Please fill out your application using this form:

In-Game Name:
Discord Username (optional):
Preferred Method:
Description:

Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of the character you wish to be contacted through.
Since we have a growing community of players using Discord, you can enter your username here as another means to contact you outside the game.
Preferred method for those who want art in a certain format. Digital, traditional, Spiral Spy, macaroni art, interpretive dance, etc.
Description should have as much detail into what you want as you can. Reference pictures are recommended! You can host your images on imgur for the reference pictures. You don't have to worry about making an account, just upload them.

Applications close Thursday, November 30th.

RULES:
Exchanges must be followed through by January 1st, at which point a participant will need to explain why they have failed to complete their end of the exchange. Failure to do so will result in repercussions such as disqualification from future events, should they be hosted.

Feel free to ask any questions you have!

Chef-Iceshine

CHEF GOT COOKIES

Angel-Girl

ENCHILADA

In-Game Name: Angel-Girl
Discord Username (optional): Chrissy Noelle #8045
Preferred Method: Digital or Traditional
Description: Reference image!
Like for shown Knight in reference above to be sitting in the snow (vast snow, like if she were on plains or something). She's in a blizzard but is trying to enjoy a really warm hot chocolate anyway. An emphasis on her wings (making them larger than ingame scale really) would be appreciated. Thank you to my Secret Santa ^^

Fangel

heck why not

I haven't made a good ol' piece of artwork for a while, may as well enter in 'ere (and pray I don't get swamped with life stuff).

In-Game Name: Fangel
Discord Username (optional): if you have trouble finding me I don't know what to tell you
Preferred Method: Any
Description: Artist can use either one of my many angel costumes, or one of my other more signature costumes, such as my frosty goat costume, one of my several kat costumes, "camo" costume, or sleep demo costume.
(Link to album if you want to look at all of them at once)

I have a personal fondness for the basic "valkyrie" costume in the first picture, and there's a good chance whatever picture you end up making I'll crop to be my discord profile picture for a little while.

The actual scene I'm not too picky about, but should you need something to get creative juices flowing, having the costume of choice sitting in the snow sewing up their teddy bear buckler would be a nice path to take. :)

Marshalmellow

I have nothing better to do

IGN: Marshalmellow
Discord Username: marshmellow#4715

Discord Username (optional): Pazlin#2561
Preferred Method: Anything goes!
Description: Artist can choose between my Fowl set and my Miracle set, with a normal Seraphynx(with Seraph'tanna, Halo and Ring Tail).
Any kind of scene would work, as long as the atmosphere of the picture is happy!

Fowl set: http://imgur.com/Un0nj2p
Miracle set: https://imgur.com/a/nBKNh (Net can be ignored if needed)

(I'm so sorry for not knowing how to use imbed links like other people do, this is my first ever post on here ^^; )

Matejboy

Only thing I'm ok at

In-Game Name: Matejboy
Discord Username (optional): Matejko124#7148
Preferred Method: Any
Description: I used to love playing the Save Winterfest mission when I had the chance to quite some time ago. So I would like either:

A) A scenario of my character lugging one of the giant red presents through the chaotic mess that is that map, just trying to run as fast as conceivably possible to make it to the other side before being pummeled by snowballs or frozen or both

B)You can draw my character being buried in a pile of green presents, because usually when I played that's like, the only present that actually made it to the end compared to me, lugging the big one

Here's the Front, Side, Back and Other side of my knight.

Hi, I would like to join in.
Unfortunately my only available method of drawing would be pen&paper.
IGN: Drischa
Discord: Drischa#7676
Preferred method: I really don't mind.
Description: This is the only picture I have on hand, sorry. I usually use Omega Shell and Sudaruska, and have a pink personal colour now. Alternatively I wear volcanic demo armour (with a hallow ribbon, glasses and bomb bandolier) and use Nitronome. Have fun with it, a sitting pose or something comical would be nice :)

Thank you!

And it's actually not the in-game appearance because I seldomly play SpiralKnights, and thus my character still has 3 star gears

Kernosis

First post ever! :)

In-Game Name: Kernosis
Discord Username: Kwerns#5842
Preferred Method: Digital or traditional is preferred :)
Description: Character sheet is here! Please use the toasty scheme for the side blade if it happens to show up in your picture. (I bought one from the Monday sales, but had bought the gray just a few weeks ago for much more ): So, I'm going to keep it on a while longer so it feels worth it XD)

I'd like to have something I can use as a profile picture or phone background! Perhaps something cute like my knight and seraphynx together, or something cool like a scene in the Clockworks. :) I'm flexible though, so it's up to your interpretation!

In-Game Name: Mango-chick
Discord Username (optional): Manguu~ #6477
Preferred Method: Any, do as you please.
Description:
MANGO'S ULTIMATE WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!! No okay jokes aside, I love dark and sinister things but i let the artist decide what s/he makes.
(Big surprise)I also love to feel powerful (yea my friends would just call that 'being a ****' but it's how I enjoy gameplay.) And yes. believe me or not I DO actually have a nice side. To friends, I'm the type of person that will back you up but won't lie if you're wrong (hue hue believe me i will tell you if you are).
I also happen to be in a relation with ****** Aka Solotron (great guy I'm sure you've heard of him) incase you feel like making a couple drawing. So remember! Dark, evil, powers, DOMINATIONNNNN, Solotron <3
(creativity can go nuts just do as you please.) I don't mind about the size but i would love to see some colour even if its just 2 or 3. SK-art isn't necessary either but i would like a piece in which my character (or partly) is shown. Goodluck and have fun! ^-^

Applications Closed

Sorry to everyone who wanted to join! I want to give everyone as much time as possible to work on the drawings so they can get it in by Christmas Day. I'll be running the names through the hat now and will promptly contact everyone of their recipient as soon as possible.

Also, if you have any questions or clarifications that you'd like to ask your recipient but wish to keep anonymous until the day of the gift-exchange, feel free to send me the question and I'll act as the middle man and relay it to the other person.

The names are set!

I've scrambled the names and sent everyone a message via Discord, and those I couldn't contact on Discord (due to discord name tag mishaps) I've sent mail in-game. If for some reason you didn't receive any messages yet, please contact me at Fighting Polygon#6031 on Discord.

Thank you everyone for an astonishing 19 signups! I honestly can't wait to see what everyone can come up with with the drawings. Once you're done your drawing, post it here in the thread so everyone can admire your artwork!
Good luck, and have fun!

Remember, the deadline to get the drawings done and posted is midnight of December 25th.

Woo!

I love how this turned out. Was my first time trying a seraphynx and oh my gosh it's the cutest thing.

I know I made this for someone else but I might be stealing that seraphynx for my own profile picture in the future...

Say, forums peepers, any chance we can get any of these pieces turned into new profile pictures? Asking for a friend...
