HELLO it's the year TWO thousand and TWENTY TWO and it's T-T-T-T-T-T-TIME for another arT TRADE! (that's all the energy I saved up for this year)
This year has the same format as last year, except that I've elaborated where to submit your artwork and what to expect on Christmas Day under the heading How does this work?. Please take the time to read through the rules in the forum thread!

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 (Thursday, December 1st) of their recipient and what they have to draw. You will have until the midnight of Sunday, December 25th to finish and submit your artwork. To submit your work, DM me the link of your artwork through Discord where I will safely store the image until Christmas Day. Noon of Christmas Day is when I will be uploading all artworks of participants in an imgur album and posting them here as well as the Discord servers 'Arcade' and the 'Snipe Garden'. I also highly encourage to contact your recipient on Christmas Day to personally hand the gift, as it deserves loving attention for all your work put into it <3
(You can contact your recipient at any time on Christmas Day, Sunday December 25th MST.

Please fill out your application using this form:

In-Game Name:
Discord Username and ID#:
Description:
Art Samples:

Explanation:
1. Your in-game name is the name of your SK character.
2. 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!
3. 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*
4. Art Samples will show if you've done anything creative. Samples can include 2D or 3D traditional or digital artworks.

Registration closes on Wednesday, November 30th, at 11:59PM MST (Mountain Standard Time).

RULES:

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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!

Let's have some fun with this event

In-Game Name: Litl-Seerus
Discord Username and ID#: Litl-Seerus#6305
Description: I'm not like most knights, my knight is a gremlin. He has a bite on his right ear, gold earrings on his left one (like his dads'), a scratch over his left eye, and two little fangs stickin out. Also, he has cybernetics, which is why he's able to fit knight armor. With that in mind:
(Option 1): If you got the time, I'd like to see my knight hanging out with the other Emberlight outcasts during the season (maybe even under the mistletoe with Nonna). It can be drawn with or without his helmet/mask on.
(Option 2): First one too much? Then just draw my knight character enjoying the winter season in some way like eating cookies, playing in the snow, anything festive related.

Description: You can find my costume template here.
As far as what I'd like, it'd have to be me about to pelt someone with a snowball in the most over-the-top anime way possible. Can either be extremely goofy or serious to the point it might actually kill them.
Art Samples: Right here.

Matejboy
@_@

In-Game Name: Matejboy
Discord Username and ID#: Matejko124#7148
Description:
A) You can draw me walking around a snowy Haven at night with snow falling out of the sky. Perhaps you can also decorate Haven by adding Xmas decorations (string lights, Xmas tree instead of the fountain, baubles, canes and laurels etc.) One can add a lamp post or two for some yellow/white light anywhere in the image so it's just not pitch black walking outside
B) A similar idea to the first that's not xmas/winter themed, except instead of snow it's rain! A gray day or night in Haven with me just generally enjoying it. This idea is in the case of you not wanting to draw something xmas related and more of an open idea
Art Sample: This and this
Reference: Link

Description: I'd like my Knight posing in a cool way in a snowy field at night, leaning on her sword. Her shield is equipped on her back. The stars are visible through some clouds. Maybe have snow streaks swirling around her in the air for special effect. (For fun and bonus points, put dumb hidden stuff in the background, like another Knight falling on their face or a meme or something lol. Just ask that it's not too obvious)

narrowly made it in this year...

In-Game Name: Paradoxrevolver
Discord Username and ID#: rubic#8196
Description:
here's a picture of my knight!
https://imgur.com/a/l8A2okn

i don't actually have any drawings of him yet... so i'm open to pretty much anything!
- draw a classic snowy haven scene, i do really like the areas around the auction house
- draw a holiday interaction with one of your own knights! i would characterize my knight as being the gentle guild master-type, if that helps

Art Samples:
i draw a lot of furries, but i do have some practice drawing knights! i actually love drawing knights, accessories, equipment and other character customization stuff. i have less practice with complex backgrounds and special visual effects, but i'm open to giving it a try!
https://twitter.com/rubicsart

i did a couple of drawings of knights in early 2021. the first was a spontaneous gift i made (i just liked the knight), the second was commissioned. i think i could definitely improve on these this year!
https://imgur.com/a/ortkgSA

also writing this post suddenly made me realize that two weeks from now, my forum account hits 10 years old. yeesh

Description: You can draw my knight sitting on a rock in Haven holding a Dread Venom Striker if you'd like. I don't want much, I'm mainly looking to draw something for someone. don't feel pressured at all.

References: my knight https://imgur.com/a/b2CZLaQ
just a Military Captain Coat and a Military Mecha Knight Helm. shield doesn't matter much. no battle sprite please.

Art Samples: https://imgur.com/a/TqqAGuj
I don't usually draw backgrounds but if I have to I'll do it (may not come out looking too great but I want to do my best).
I apologize for not having too many examples, I don't have many SK arts. I'm too nervous about drawing for other people, so I figure this is a good opportunity to just go for it and see what happens.

Anime shows have given us many wonderful facial expressions to be made memes out of, few examples being Spy X Family and Bocchi the Rock. Why not have Spiral Knights characters have those faces as well?
