🎄The Annual SK Secret Santa Art Trade 2023🎄
Sat, 11/25/2023 - 02:52
*gestures vaguely*
Welcome back, it's been a whole year and once again we have ourselves an SK-themed Art trade. This year, it'll be the same as last year EXCEPT I'm adding on a collaborative side with the use of aggie.io. With aggie.io, you don't have to register for the SK art trade to participate, and you can join in at anytime before December 25th. The link to aggie.io will be dropped here: https://aggie.io/qebefza0lt
You may need to set up a free account to create layers, since there is a setting where users that go offline can have their layers manipulated (and worst, deleted).
Winter Collab - What are we doing?
Using the link, everyone and anyone can draw on the same canvas working towards a final cohesive product. Start by creating a layer for yourself in the sidebar located on the right. You can draw anything your heart desires: your knight, a mob or two, atmospheric effects such as snow or christmas lights, etc. Please be respectful to other people's drawings.
Note: Currently everyone is allowed 10 layers. However, I can adjust the layer allowance if you need more layers, just dm/ping me to let me know ^^
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 (Sunday, December 4th) of their recipient and what they have to draw. You will have until the midnight of Monday, 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, Monday December 25th MST.

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!

Description: Pick a prompt
A. *Homesick*
A picture of my Knight isolated away from glowing Jubilant festivities just behind him. Sitting isolated somewhere, perhaps under a tree or on a stone wall looking despondent and lonely, face illuminated only by the faint white hue of light from a tablet like device and pale moonlight, lamenting the extensive journey away from Isoria, and longing to return home.
If you should feel so inclined, call him over the radio, and ask if he’s at the party.
B. *”You shouldn’t have.”*
My knight reluctantly taking a gift from you, as if it was something completely unexpected. Or maybe because he never thought to get something for you. Not that you were expecting anything in return, tis the season of giving.

I play from time to time, but definitely not as much as I used to back in the days. I might log on once a month to check something, but nowadays I only drop by when a friend invites me to do something
