The 25 Days of Christmas

Scythe's picture
I'm aware that I'm not the most active or social member of this community, but I would like to return the kindness that has been done to me this holiday season. As such, I am taking 25 requests to be completed by Christmas. I intend to do one each day, with some exceptions should I fall behind...today being a good example, as it's already the 2nd. These will be done in the style of my reference pictures.

You can request your own character, but I think that it would be nice to request someone else's. In any event, just provide me with a reference and/or biography and I'll get going with these tonight. I'll edit this list as the spots are filled up.

Edit: This list is officially closed. Thanks, guys, and Happy Holidays!

Haha I always hate having to

Haha I always hate having to pick just one person in a community full of great people, but could I request Trigger_Mortis' Tails? Here is his biography.

Thanks!

Pfff, Quad! Thank you for

Pfff, Quad! Thank you for requesting my boy! ^^ *is terribly excited*

Perhaps in return, could I request Quad's Blixt? He's got such a lovely set, and is a wonderful character that perhaps gets overlooked slightly. Smiling

Thank you very much, you're wonderful!

Midnightrose: Ah, I believe

Midnightrose: Ah, I believe we misunderstood each other, but, should I have the time, I can draw Haunted, too. We'll see.

Thank you, Mrs. H, Rire, and trigger_mortis. I'll add them to the list momentarily. ^^

Check, check, and check. You three are all set. Thank you. ^^

Hello there Scythe! Let me

Hello there Scythe! Let me first say your art is astounding! I'm always awed by the creativity of this community-- I do not have a reference picture of my Illutrea, other than the one on their bio, of them as a fawn, but would a detailed description work at all? They aren't very complicated. If not, that's alright, I thank you for doing this for the community regardless. (:

I can work with a detailed

I can work with a detailed description, sure. Go for it. ^^

Ah, excellent, many thanks!

Ah, excellent, many thanks!

Color: Illu's color is a light/medium grey on the top half of her body, and white below.

Tail: Short, poofy and white.

Body: Illu is quite small, a bit larger than a mini, but smaller than a regular sized deer (I know this probably wont show in the picture). She is lean, but still quite slim, and short-haired.

Legs/Hooves: Illu's back legs are taller than her front legs, a little moreso than regular. Her hooves are delecate and grey in color.

Head/face: For the most part, her face is white. Illu's head shares resemblance with a rabbit's, oval in shape-- and such. Her nose is also very rabbit like, same goes for her mouth area. Her eyes are a void of blue.

Ears: Illu's ears are her defining characteristic, tall and slim-- like what? A rabbit!

Markings: She has a few dark grey, tiny "pepper spots" on her hind/back. And a grey crescent moon on her forehead, with the "horns" pointing upward.

Thank you!!

edit; sorry for the edit, had to fix something.

Perhaps you could do Shamiya's Sianna?

How about Jen's Jay? She's

How about Jen's Jay? She's been doing so much for the community these past months, I don't think I could do anything close to what she's doing! If anyone deserves art, she's among the top this Christmas season!

illutrea: That is all very

illutrea: That is all very helpful. She sounds like she should be fun to work with.

Deyna: I can. I'll add her shortly. ^^

celticmystress: Agreed. I can barely manage a handful of blog entries. I can't imagine dealing with, nevermind organizing the calendar and Secret Santa. I would be more than happy to draw Jay for her.

Thank you Deyna.

Thank you Deyna. Laughing out loud

I believe that I'm going to go with Mateo, as I've been meaning to draw him anyway. Thanks, Aihnna. ^^

Six spots left, guys. Have at it!

Whoa. Whoa. I see

Whoa.
Whoa.
I see me.

What.

FFFF KAOORI. I'm going to get you somehow. o:<

... ♥

And Scythe.
I take you knowing where the biography was as a compliment.
If you have any questions, I'm more than open.
It's rather open for interpretation nonetheless. ♥


May I request...

Serenai: Of course you may.

Serenai: Of course you may. ^^ He looks like he ought to be another fun one.

I've actually always liked your character and I appreciate how much you've done for this community. I'm just a terribly quiet individual, offline and on, so my comments probably come across stalkerish rather than complimentary. But yes, me knowing where the biography was is a good thing. XD

Calinka: You don't even have to link me to her profile. I have it memorized at this point. Kimi's my best friend, so any chance to draw Kaoori is always welcome. Thank you for requesting her. ^^

To everyone: I'm tempted to make these slightly festive; however, I have no problem keeping them reference picture-like in nature, too. Does anyone have any preferences before I start on them tonight? I don't mean on an individual basis, but as a general consensus. What would you guys be most interested in seeing?
shamiya's picture

For mine you can do whatever

For mine you can do whatever you want to(festive is fine). I like creativity, and love seeing what others come out with. Sorry, that does sound pretty individual! But just letting you know I don't have a problem with whatever you decide to do.
Serenai's picture

Scythe, I apologize if this

Scythe,
I apologize if this is not the place for conversation. I am... Perhaps exceptionally talkative, at times. And yet too, I lurk behind and watch. You've certainly not gone unseen, of that be assured.

I certainly think so as well. I mean, can you go wrong with leprechauns?

I appreciate that comment dearly. Despite lurking around, I can never catch up with the imagination of the people here. Characters sprint past me as I huff and wheeze and try to at least manage a passing glimpse, though I suppose this is the best way to go about running a marathon. I've... Not been consciously aware of anything I've done for this place. I offer my best to whomever I can, and hope that is well enough. Not even slightly, as I do the same thing frequently. I'm making sort of an image of myself by my tendencies (I shyly watch from afar and one day spontaneously profess my affection), but that is just dandy with me. ♥

Also, I encourage you to do as whim leads you.

I have yet to figure out who

I have yet to figure out who I might want to suggest, but track for now...

I wonder, if you could keep

I wonder, if you could keep Illu plain? I wouldn't usually mind festive, but I'd really like to use this picture on her biography, even after Christmas! Should save you some time too. Is that okay? I hope I don't sound like a bah-humbug!! I look forward to seeing all the other festive deer though!
Scythe's picture

shamiya: Individual or not, I

shamiya: Individual or not, I appreciate your feedback. ^^ I think that I may have just made a decision in talking with Kimi a moment ago, but I'm still open to suggestions should anyone have any more.

Serenai: Please, there is no reason to apologize. I appreciate your comment.

It is indeed difficult to keep up with the creativity around here. I try to leave a few comments on at least one of my two accounts every day, but even then there is so much more that I would like to say and do.

I think that you have the right idea, though, and the image that you're making for yourself, unintentionally or not, is a good one. Thank you for your kindness. ^^

CelesteLune: Haha, sounds good.

illutrea: That is actually the conclusion that I came to myself a little while ago. With a little twist of course, if I can pull it off. We'll see.

how sweet! hmmm Raleigh?

how sweet!

hmmm

Raleigh? for Chickenwhite maybe? I would appreciate it so much ;w;
This account is a biography holder. Nothing more.
