Something to get off my chest.
My life gets kinda boring,
Need something that I can confess.

I haven't done a personal journal in awhile, but I don't have anything of real interest to write about that I can think of off the top of my head. So I'm gonna let you guys decide what you want to hear. Ask me anything you want (within reason) in the comments.

-------------------------------------

ATTENTION! ALL THREE SLOTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. THANK YOU TO ALL INTERESTED IN THE TRADES. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IF I DECIDE TO DO THIS AGAIN!

I recently decided that design trades seemed like they would be interesting to do, so here ya go. LOL _{I'm still working on my other trades and stuff, don't worry.} In case anyone doesn't know, it is a trade where each of us designs a character for the other and there may or may not be specifics (i.e. colors, species, gender, etc.).

My Personal Rules~
Don't just half-ass your design and expect to get one of my best designs in return. I will not create your character until you create one for me, and I will then give you a design I deem to be of equal value.
I will specify species and general color scheme, and possibly a gender and personality/background of some sort to help get something I want out of this. LOL You are, of course, allowed to specify whatever you want (well, to a certain degree).
The first rule also applies to lines. When giving me your final design, do not use linearts/bases unless you want me to use linearts/bases. If you draw the character yourself, I will do the same.
You do not have to give me several designs to choose from, but if you do, I will do the same. I'm all about fairness here. LOL
Once you give your design to me, you give all rights to me, and vice versa. Once the trade is done, I am allowed to do whatever I please to your design, and you to mine as well. I will try not to, however, make MAJOR changes that make it look like a completely different character, out of respect for your design. I will expect you to do the same, but I can't stop you if you choose to do so.
Following the above rule, you can trade/donate/breed/give away my design once I give it to you, but you may NOT sell it for any kind of profit, real or fake (including points).

I think that about covers it. LOL Slots are first-come, first-serve, so get 'em while they're (not so) hot!

So I've finally managed to judge my challenge. This was a fail, so I don't think I'll be doing anything like this again soon, but anyway, here are the winners~~~>

*Drumroll*

1st place goes to with ! She wins three pictures of OCs with her choices being chibi bodies, chibi headshots, or normal headshots.

She wants me to surprise her since she can't think of what she wants. XD

2nd place goes to with ! She wins two pictures with the same options as above.

2nd Prize~ Chibi Body of Rosie

3rd place goes to with ! She wins one picture with the same choices as above.
Prize~ Nashi Being Cute (Chibi Body?)

And I'd feel bad about leaving (:thumb172081498:) as the only one without a prize, so she wins a chibi headshot of an OC.
Prize~ Chibi Headshot of Alex Mercer

Please tell me your choices ASAP. <3

----------------------------------------

I got more than five people interested, so I increased to ten slots, but those all got filled except for two pending slots. I'll let you guys know if they reopen!

So I'm in a bit of an art block I guess and I need something to draw, so I'm opening up five trade slots, but the number may change.

I'm going to accept any number of characters (within reason) in the pic, but just remember that you have to do the same number. If you ask for three characters, you have to draw three for me as well. Also, no yaoi, yuri, hentai, vehicles, mechas, or excessively complicated buildings. They'll all be inked and you get to choose between painting-esque shading, cel-style shading, and flat color. Background can be full, simple, or transparent. Please specify these things or I'll do what I want.

Remember that I'll be working hard on my half, so I expect you to do the same. If I end up getting a picture that looks like two minutes were spent on it, I will keep requesting pictures from you until I get one I like.

They're first-come, first-serve, so hurry and get 'em while they're hot! XD
