Secret Santa 2011!

Yup, Secret Santa is back! As usual, we're doing our bi-annual Secret Santa exchange -- a chance to give and receive tableset gifts all around. :3


How does this work?

If you're unfamiliar with traditional Secret Santas, here's how they work! First, you leave the information for one of your characters; name, appearance, anything of that nature. After everyone has signed up that would like to participate, we'll take the names of each person and give them out to another person randomly to make a set. You make your giftee a tableset to their specifications, and post it up in the thread we create for it to give them their gift. Big Grin


Great! What info do I need to post?

All we need is some information!

Some things to keep in mind...

  • Please do NOT sign up for Secret Santa if you have no idea how to make a table, graphics, etc.
  • A tableset includes a table and an avatar. You're welcome to include more, but please have at least these two things unless your giftee specifies otherwise!
  • You may choose to create a finished drawing or avatar in lieu of a tableset, but sketches and unfinished pieces will not be acceptable.
  • Please keep in mind board-wide graphics rules and guidelines.
  • Please only request tables/graphics for characters at 'Souls.
  • In an effort to ensure that everyone receives their gifts, please remember that participants who don't finish their gifts by the due date will be barred from participating in contests and other events until they complete their part.

Ulilohi Ehn, 4 years old female.


Avatar

Not needed! Unless, of course, you are a highly patient artist with time to spare: have a look in her profile. I realize doing manips will be very difficult, hence no avatar is needed, really Smile

Table

Table Size Preference: max 500px wide, otherwise I don't mind.

Color Scheme: I like everything really, but to match Ulilohi: blues, oceany colors, grays, white and deep browns

Mood: She can be pretty saucy, so that's cool. She can also be quite fierce in spirit.

Lyrics: none - you don't need to find any either if it's difficult. Her name on it is just cool too!

Picture you would like used: I've really no preferences here. She's a warrior of profession, though, and favors the spear - if that's an interesting motif?

Signature

Text or Image?: I prefer either text or a transparent, small image (not a square banner-type)

Best Way to Contact you: PM

Would you accept a finished piece of art in lieu of a graphical set: Of course!

Character Name: Taliesin Dir Rhiannon
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 3
Example Pictures: [html]Here.[/html]
Character Description: Taliesin is snow white, with eyes just like his mother Deuce's. One eye is deep blue, the other is bright gold. He is a slender male, almost feminine in appearances. There is little on him to distinguish him from any other white wolf. In his Luperci form, his build is very feminine. His mane is short and usually somewhat messy as if he just got out of bed. He has his mother's feline like grace in his movements. He watches the world with a scholar's interest. He wears jeans all the time now, and is hardly ever found without his backpack of varying items.
Jewelry or Tattoos: His left ear is pierced with two hoops.

Table
Table Size Preference: I don't like super thick or super thin tables. My normal tables are usually around 400 px wide. I also am not fond of huge images, keep them under 400 px tall, and I'm happy.
Color Scheme: dark blues or purples. Cool colors rather than warm ones.
Mood: dark, depressed
Lyrics:"For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
Sins of our young"

Image: Nothing cheerful.


Signature
Text or Image?: Image
Lyrics/Words:"God save us everyone. Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?"
