[edit ] : I closed my secret santa , inviters can still join. [/edit]

Wassssup 8'D

Thank you so much for the new watches , I really appreciate all the favorites and the pageviews :heart: :heart: :heart:.

Excuses for my slow responds -as usual- , I do read everything and you all make me really happy with all the sweet comments and views and watches <3.
I hope I can do the same in the future too when I have a bit more energy o u o.

So how did you guys celebrated Halloween ?
Sadly I have to note I didn't do much exciting on Halloween , I fell asleep during the Horror Movies lol lol lol they weren't scary at all x.o . And I went bowling with moons and maaike , it was ..horrible I couldn't even lift the heavy ball rofl.

That was quite the fail orz. Even her little cousin could give that ball a nice push 8'D I officially need to eat more spinach .

BTW CGING IS SO HAAAARDDD ;w;.

Omg adhdjdhjdh and I thought that I could do it ...lineart.
NOOO I FAILED ORZ.

If anyone has tips when I start coloring .. then I'd really appreciate to hear it <3333.
I love input even though I don't request critique , critique scares me .. I had the weirdest comments in the past that made me hurt a little x.o so I keep that off.
But if you have a good advice or think I should pay attention to something , please help me out ;w; ?
I hope I can learn this , because I want to start doing backgrounds and I am just clueless how to do them traditionally ..so hard -shot-.

So yeah ..wish me luck ;w; ?

So yeah , the reason for my new Journal is those Secret Santa events going around xD.
They are always invite only and though I enjoy looking at all those Secret Santa Artpieces , I decided to stop only being a passive online christmas enjoyer and try to set-up an own Secret Santa !


:holly: SECRET SANTA :holly:


I am sorry for not being specific and blunt in my guidelines.
It was my first time organising an event like this and I had trouble finding the right words to word how I take the exceptions that weren't invited.

I wasn't suggesting that they were lower than me , even though it came out like that .
I know it's kind of late to say this now as already some people are hurt because of my words.
But it wasn't my intention and I apologize for the way I handled my first secret santa.

It's true that I want to keep things fair for my friends. If it was up to me , I would let a lot of people join but I just don't want a huge secret santa. At first it was just for my friends but in the end I decided that some others might be interested too.

To make sure that it weren't that many people I made a stupid rule to discourage people.
I am sorry for miswording that rule , it was rude.
I still don't know how I should have said it , I am really not good at this stuff .

Hereby I want to apologize to all the people I have hurt with my statement. I didn't meant that your art is below mine , even if I did said it like that. I can't change it back and I see now through critique how blind I was believing this criteria wouldn't be offensive.

I haven't really got words to back me up except that I understand that I was handling things wrong.

For the Participants

The invites are all send , please put up your wishlist if you read this (: .

I have made a FAQ about the Secret Santa Event.
I'd suggest for all the participants to read it all so that you know when the deadline is , when you'll get your name etc etc etc :heart: .

What is a Secret Santa ?

A Secret Santa is a Christmas Event. It's a gift giving event and it works as follow.
Everyone puts up their wishlist ( A journal with requests that you'd like to receive as a drawing (for example : Your original character(s) , Pokemon Gijinka(s) , Fanart etc ) . When everyone that participates has put up their Wishlist , I'll assemble all names and use a randomnizer - thanks for the suggestion , Pat - and I'll note you all with the names of the Secret Santa you're assigned to ^^.

So to make things clear : You're drawing for only one person.
And only one person will draw your request.
But you won't get to know until your drawing is done and uploaded who was your secret santa XD.

What can we put in our wishlists ?

I have thought about this for half a day and :iconlimeybeans: made a lovely suggestion to make a top three in your Journal with your requests what you want to have drawn.

For examples : Your three oc's ( Mika One , Alice Two , Ash Ketchum Three or yeah anything like that XD )

It would be at best to either put up not only couple options but also single options.

To prevent people feeling cheaped out if they have to make a couple and only get a single I'd like to request from the people that are asking for a couple if it would might be okay if they could choose person out of the couple ^^ ? It's ofcourse up to the Secret Santa to how generous he/she is but I really would like to stress that you put effort in your picture ! Preferably a full CG or a full traditional drawing !

A full drawing either means , ATLEAST a knees-up /waist-up colored with a simple background , you can also make a fullbody or a couple , I really don't mind as long as it shows effort. If you want to make a couple than I'd like to stress that it's not a sketch or headshots XD.


What is allowed ?

Basically I am allowing any type of request but bare in mind that not everything is equal easy to draw XD.

Though the following things aren't allowed --> Hentai , Old People , Very difficult Backgrounds , Multiple Groupshots *unless the secret santa wants to draw it <3 * , Aliens and Full Anthro *ears and tails are okay *.

When is the deadline for our picture ?

I'd like to put the deadline on the Last Day of Christmas.
That would be December the 26th.
I want to give everyone a happy christmas like this so please try to make this deadline <3.
If you're done earlier DON'T POST your artwork until the deadline xDDD.
That way everything will stay a surprise until Christmas !

If you think you can make it , please note me beforehand and I'll put up a new deadline.
But the limit of that deadline would be New Years Day.

I am not invited but I do want to join , is that still an option ?

Sorry , this secret santa is closed. Only inviters are still allowed to join.


When will I know who I get to draw for ?

On November the 22th I am going to give everyone their name through a Note with the link to the Journal about who will be their receiver . If you haven't received it for some mysterious reason than please Note me as soon as possible and I'll immediatly send you your name.

It's the last day of Christmas , where can I see my drawing and find out who my Secret Santa is ?

For anyone that might not be watching their secret santa , don't worry <3. I am going to put up all the secret santa submissions in my journal with the usernames next to them ^___^ .
If the secret santa wants to reveal themselves then please do so <3 that would only add to the Christmas Spirit , but it's up to you Secret Santas ^^ .

I really don't mind how you want to reveal yourself ^____^ as long as you submit the drawing I'll make sure everyone gets their gift :heart: :heart: .


Thank you for your patience and for all of your questions until now , I am so glad everyone is so helpful and kind :heart: :heart: :heart:

And especially a big thanks to my lovely and really busy buddy :iconlimeybeans: for being really helpful and for just being awesome 8D <3.

I'd love to join but the concept isn't very clear to me xD If you'd like to explain how it all works that'd be great :P
:iconillycia:
~Illycia Nov 13, 2009, 8:02:14 PM
Nice idea Char xD I wanna join <333
:iconlimeybeans:
~LimeyBeans Nov 13, 2009, 8:06:27 PM
I don't mind joining if you trust me hahahaha (seeing as how I haven't done -any- gaia requests *gasp* just ...died off gaia forever O_O)

But if you have or find enough people I don't mind doing the lottery?
That way I'll draw the names (without looking at people's artwork) and then send note them on deviantart? That way you won't know who gets you?! Hahahaha I don't know.

Hmmm... although I think maybe if everyone puts up their requests.... it might be important not to make it entirely random just in case you don't like drawing yaoi but the person you choose wants you to draw yaoi?
Just a thought.

<3 Good luck! Heehee ugh...*runs off to die*

Ofcourse I trust you ;w; I was going to invite you personally <3333333 but I was a bit worried if you could manage because you're busy ;w; . I would LOVE to have you with us <3333333333333333 you're one of my best online pals *O* , Hehe I hope you don't mind but I gave them an update on your life and told them your shop is closed as of now , for commissions I let that open because they were quite stubborn and didn't mind the wait even if it was going to be two years xD. Just so you know , I hope you don't mind ;w; I figured you were probably feeling pressured to come back so I kind a explained you were really busy and all.

Awwww you're such a sweetheart ;w; <333 thank you for being so helpful :hug:
Haha <3333 that sounds like a plan o u o let's talk about it through mail , I'll mail you today so that you can answer me when you have the time <3 ? I am very excited that you want to join Limey *O* .

Hmm good point , I shall add that to the rules that they should give multiple options and preferably no couples o u o ? Or I dunno one option single and one for a couple ? xDDD

Awwwww hang in there dear D: you can do iiiiiiiiiiit <33.
