Hello everyone!! I know summer is just starting or hasn't started yet for some of you, but my friend Ryuchu and I were thinking that it'd be fun to host a Christmas in July Secret Santa event for this year, 2012!
I(aragorn1014) hosted a Secret Santa event for Christmas last year and it was a big success! So we hope that there's a nice turnout for this little event as well for the summer.
The same rules apply as they did for last year's Secret Santa, and like last year, we'll probably be sending out some PM invites, but ANYONE can join.
So here are the rules for the event! They're the all pretty straight-forward, but again, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me or Ryuchu!
If you are too lazy to read the entire thing, I went ahead and put the important parts in bold. Just read the parts in bold at least, please. >.<
The Rules
1)You MUST read the rules FIRST, then PM Ryuchu/me or comment this post if you want to join.
2)You must have your wishlist posted somewhere on one of your worlds by June 10th, 2012. Once you've posted up your wishlist, PM Ryuchu/me or comment here with a link to your Wishlist so we may post it up on this World.
3)You are required to give a MINIMUM of 3 options for your Secret Santa to choose from in your wishlist. This is so they'll have many options to choose from. However you are NOT required to draw ALL of the options, though you ARE required to draw ONE at the least.
Which reminds me, PLEASE try to give DIVERSITY to the options you give. Like don't make all 3 options three different Naruto characters. Throw in some of your OCs/FCs or people from different animes etc.
4)Please take time on your gift and make it nice for your person! It'd be nice if you could do more than just a chibi(unless the person asks their Santa for a chibi, of course), but we won't have any sort of limitations on skill level or what you draw for this event. We DO expect, however, that you put your heart into your gift. They'll appreciate it, I promise!
5)Post your Secret Santa Christmas in July gift anytime between July 24th-25th, 2012. Because summers are a bit more busy(classes, vacations etc), we'll also give a bit more lee-way, so try to have your art posted at LATEST by August 1st, 2012. Otherwise, let us know via PM that you'll be late/can't do it and we'll find a sub Santa for you/we can tell your gift-receiver so they won't freak out lol.
6)If you do not draw, you can't really participate in this, sorry! >.< THIS IS FOR DRAWINGS ONLY, not e-cards/wallpapers. This is to make it even for all participants.
7)You CAN do a black-and-white drawing, but it MUST be really quality work. We really do prefer color for this event, but we leave that up to the artist.
8)You MUST be able to draw humans. Knowing how to draw animals is an option, so don't worry about that. NO TRACING/REDRAWS/BASES- but using a ref(as long as it's not too noticeably referenced in your pic) is okay!
9)And finally, please promote this/invite friends! If we want to make this fun, the more the merrier!<3
Substitute Secret Santas: If you think you'll be able to make more than one gift in the event that someone drops out/can't draw a gift, let us know and we'll put you down as one!<3 Thanks so much in advance! >.<
We will allow an UNLIMITED number of participants for this event. So let us know if you're gonna join in! =)
We're hoping that this will be a fun summer event for everyone and we're really excited!<3 Best wishes!
