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!

Since I wasn't here to close

Since I wasn't here to close this entry beforehand, if you've left a comment above this one, your request is still valid. Chickenwhite and Fled, you're both set. Ravus and CelesteLune, just tell me what you would like. ^^

I'll update this entry once the final requests are in. Thank you, everyone. Smiling

Awww, you are the best.

Awww, you are the best. <3 Thanks!

Ach, thank you so much! I

Ach, thank you so much!

I wanted to get Anjali (Bio).

She can correct me if I can any of this wrong, but I think Anj looks the same out of forest as in forest... and she has screen shots on that page. Magpie pelt, default antlers w/ poppies, and the forest spirit mask (I believe that's the correct name!)

Anjali sometimes wears the red crying idol pelt in times where he radiates feelings of immense love and warmth--she has a screenshot of him as the "red spirit" on his bio, too. I think he could look nice drawn as either version, whichever seems better to draw, but if you want me to make a choice, let me know. Smiling Thanks again!

Scythe, Very good. &hearts; I

Scythe,
Very good. ♥ I just hate to feel like I'm intruding without permission.

Yes, I do something similar, less out of a goal and more out of a habit... More out of what just happens to happen, but you're right, it's impossible to keep up. I like it that way though, even though I know I'm missing something... I like that there's so much creativity here that I cannot capture it all. It makes it all feel more important.

I appreciate hearing that. I will admit, I love to hear what people think of me. I often dream of being able to listen in on every conversation about me, every side comment, good and bad. I think I would learn more that way about how to be better, and know that I am loved all the more firmly.

But, honestly, the ways things are is fine as well. It's all nice, in its own way. c:

Katara00176: Ah, I'm sorry. I

Katara00176: Ah, I'm sorry. I was only taking 25 requests and I made the cut off with my previous comment... I can try to squeeze in Kat for you, though. Can you link me to her biography or a suitable reference?

Fledermaus: Hardly, but thank you. &hearts

Ravus: Thank you for the description and the link. You are more than welcome to choose which version, if you'd like; otherwise, I can do so when I get to it. ^^

Edit: Serenai, you ninja. You beat me to my post. XD I just wanted to let you know that I'll reply to your comment tomorrow, as I'm tired and incoherent and all sorts of spaced out. 'til then, have a good one and I'll talk to you later.

Okay, sorry for that. I just feel so honored that you would nominate Anjali for a picture, Ravus. Your description of him is beautiful, and perfect. Full-heartedly, thank you. ♥

Scythe, you are so amazing to do this truckload of artwork! Thank you, too. ♥

I'm glad that everyone is

I'm glad that everyone is liking these so far. It makes them all that much more worthwhile. These have simply been a blast and I have enjoyed reading about/drawing some characters that I may not have otherwise met.

The extras will probably be done in time for Christmas, too, or by New Year's at the latest. Smiling

Sythe. You sneak, you. My friend told me about Dinamo being on here. Wowzers, (Yes, my epic word.) thank you for including me, and I will be sure to comment and track you in here and in the Forest as well. Thank you greatly, and I do hope our deer can meet in the forest one day. <3

I have been fine- just not as active here as I'd like to be. :c
Once finals are over I hope to make some sort of return.

CelesteLune: You can't think

CelesteLune: You can't think of a single character that you'd like for me to draw? I'm not letting you get out of this that easily. XD

Dinamo: This comment is a tad bit belated at this point, but I'm still glad that I was able to draw Dinamo for you. I hope that our deer can meet in the forest some time, too. ^^

Fledermaus: Ah, finals. Having been there, done that, I know exactly where you're coming from. Best of luck and I hope to see you soon. &hearts
