Apivo's Secret Santa 2014
So last years secret santa was pretty good with 16 entries at the end! /v\ in fact I decided that I'm going to do it again this year, and hopefully it'll be a whole lot more organized this time around. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys it a lot more this time and remember to have fun! ovo
What's Secret Santa?
Basically your name will get put in a generator with all the other entrants and each of you will be assigned a person to draw a gift for, your job is to draw their character by Christmas and then everyone will submit their pictures at the same time; if everyone participates then everyone should have a gift drawn for them and sent a gift to someone else. c:
How do I join?
It's easy! just comment with this on my journal;
Username: (just to make things simple ;w; )
Character(s) Ref:
Preferred Characters: (characters you'd like drawn the most)
Additional Info: (try not to make this too specific, it's a gift; not a commission, there should be an element of surprise at what they draw for you)
What you don't want to draw: (if you can't draw humans or anything else so I don't partner you up to someone with characters you can't draw)
Rules
Spread the word!
I need at least 6 people to participate in order for this to work. It would be very helpful if you could advertise this on your journals to get more people involved, the more the better <3 thank you!

Rules
- Your gift must be drawn by you, traditionally or digitally.
- Please put as much effort as you can in your presents, it'd be unfair to others otherwise if they tried their best and you didn't. ;n;

- Please please please finish your picture by the deadline, so that we can submit them all at the same time.

Hey! so it's been a while since I've written here, I'm mainly active on Facebook and other places now.. ^^;
a lot has happened in my life haha, I met a whole bunch of new people and friends, I'm more involved with people irl than I am online and that's great. I fell full force into the furry community and I'm planning on going to several furry cons next year to sell off my artwork~ uhh, I'm going to uni in September to study Game Art, where I'll be learning how to do 3D modelling and all sorts of digital stuff, I'll move out and into my own area which will be great~ ;w; I've changed from being a Christian to being agnostic open-minded, I may
wow...
my artwork has changed and improved so drastically this year! ;w; I'm so happy~ (ignore this, this is just to help me really ^^)
I guess what I need to work on is putting character and movement into my drawings, at the moment they seem kinda stiff with little personality / expression. I also want to gather all my headshots and commissions into one place rather than submitting them as separate pictures, I want more focus on more personal works rather than those that I've been commissioned to do.
I wanna also learn and improve on my knowledge of colour and shading, since it all seems to be the same at the moment, I need to experiment more and

Update
helloo, I've decided (since I hardly ever use the journal function anymore), that I'm going to be doing weekly artist features!! :D since I browse around for new artists a lot anyway, it would be a better idea for me to promote them, especially those that don't get as much attention.
