✨ Artist Secret Santa 2024✨
Forum-Index → Fanmades → ✨ Artist Secret Santa 2024✨Helwo there! Welcome to (or back to) the Artist Secret Santa! Its a little different this year if you've participated previously. Firstly, I'll be the host for this year, and I'm very excited! Secondly, I'm starting this event one month early to give everyone plenty of time to work on submissions. Additionally, you are more than welcome to draw more than once! If you're a part of my PH Art Server, you'll also know that I'll be receiving entries from both, so there's a good chance you might receive someone who isnt necessary on this forum.
The way this works is that people who sign up will be randomly assigned to another user who has also signed up (and I will do my best to make sure you get someone who has an OC you can draw!). All submissions are due by Christmas Eve and will be sent to me, for me to send out to their new owners on Christmas day!
If you're participating, I highly recommend subscribing until the end of the event so you can stay in the loop on updates!

🖤Forms🖤
I would like to have some back up artist in the event that someone drops out so that everyone gets at least one piece. If you'd like to be a back up artist, you must be able to work in a minimum of 3 days notice. You are more than welcome to sign up for both.
For "Examples of Work", you must provide at least 2 sketches/WIPs and their completed counterparts, or your Safe Artist Directory profile. You can submit either links or images, but please keep images in spoilers to avoid clutter.
