Welcome to the annual Christmas event you all have been waiting for! Registration period started off a bit late this year but let's see how many participants we can get this time around.
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 registration 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 the midnight of December 25th to finish your artwork.
Please fill out your application using this form:
In-Game Name:
Discord Username and ID#:
Description:
Art Samples:
Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of your SK character.
Discord will be the main hub of where I will be contacting participants for news and updates. Feel free to join the public SK servers such as the Arcade or the Snipe Garden to keep up with the news. Joining these servers are not required!
Description should have as much detail into what you want as you can. Reference pictures are highly 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.
*If you don't remember your login information to access the forums, DM me your application form on discord and I will post it for you*
Art Samples are a new addition this year, and they will show if you've done anything creative. Samples can include 2D or 3D traditional or digital artworks.
Registration closes on Tuesday, November 30th, at 11:59PM MST (Mountain Standard Time).
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.
- Due to popular demand, we will be restricting the art exchange to involve ONLY SPIRAL KNIGHTS CONTENT. Please make sure to adjust your request and description accordingly!
- To ensure each participant will receive a well thought-out gift, I will determine which participants will be included in the art trade based on the Art Samples in the registration details, to avoid situations of people who only join for free art but give little effort on their secret santa recipient.
Feel free to ask any questions that you may have down below!

Art Ideas: If you're in a mood of Christmas, make it Christmas themed. Scenes could be either outside building a snowman with friends (add your knight in there as well) or sipping hot choco in a guild hall with friends, or any Christmas/Winterfest themes you can come up with.
If you're NOT in a mood for Christmas, any cool/epic scenes will work :CHROMA:
I will also offer myself as an artist helper as well 👀
