Thread "Drunk Duck Secret Santa 2007 Sign-Up" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 11:10AM, Oct. 21, 2007

Sign-ups end December 1st!!!!

Heeeeeeello there, folks!!

It's me, Mazoo, creator of Life Like Weeds here!

If you were around last year, you may remember me heading the Drunk Duck Secret Santa…art…swap…thingy. Yeah. Anyway! I am doing that again this year! Hurrah! If you weren't around last year, or you didn't participate or you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, listen up.

The Drunk Duck Secret Santa is a type of art swap for Drunk Duckers in celebration of Christmas. Please note that it doesn't actually have anything to do with Christmas other than the idea of giving others gifts, so no matter what you believe in, you can join in.

Sign-ups are so early to allow lots of advertising and participants.

The rules are thus:

Post to this forum with your name (or screenname), the present that you'd like, and a link to your comic if you are requesting fanart.

A request will look like this:

I'm Mazoo, and I'd like a picture of my character Dan in an elf costume! (Life Like Weeds)

After the sign-up deadline (December 1st), I will be writing down everyone's names and placing them into a hat. I will then draw names randomly and pick who you will have to draw for. Everything is random, and there are no requesting to specifically do anyone's requests. Sorry. I will tell you who you are drawing for by PQ.

I will try to get these PQs out by the first week of December. Once you have your assigned request to work on, all of the presents are to be posted in a Drunk Duck Secret Santa 2007 Present thread, which I will be making closer to the due date and providing a link to in this thread. The presents are due on December 20th (this is to ensure our DWC has some time to get all other presents out by the 24th or at least the end of the year.)

Also, I will be doing the DWC again this year, the Deadbeat Watch Committee. This is a group of artists who are willing to do extra art gifts for those who are paired with jerks who don't keep up their end of the bargain. Just let me know if you'd like to be a DWC member in your request post. Sadly enough, there were a lot of Deadbeats last year, and a couple of them were even DWC members as well. Let's try and not make this Secret Santa like last year.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU WERE A DEADBEAT LAST YEAR YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SIGN UP THIS YEAR. Believe me when I say that I have a list and I'm checking it twice and I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far! And please Please PLEASE don't be afraid of signing up for the DWC!! The more people we have on it, the easier it will be to handle the deadbeat requests. I think last year a few people didn't even HAVE to do an extra picture. Thanks again everyone!

Rutger

Character Arthur riding Santa's sleigh would be awesome.

Comic to be found here.

I understand that we'll get to hear who we gotta do the 'present'for, by PQ or something?

Posted at 12:10PM, Oct. 21, 2007

ShadowDion

I would like someone to draw a sweet picture of my character Dariel, kicking back some beers (or eggnog) with Santa.

Here's my comic
Will you be telling us who we have or will we be picking?

Posted at 6:10PM, Oct. 22, 2007

I'd like to try this again. Last time there was some confusion on my own part, but this time I'm rearing to go!

I'd like an action picture of one or more of my hero characters from Comet Kid. My secret Santa can decide who and what action.

Posted at 9:10PM, Oct. 22, 2007

I will be picking the people you are drawing for and letting you know in a PQ.

Posted at 11:10PM, Oct. 22, 2007

ShinGen

Comedic fanart or guest strip for DO1 which can be found here.

Eh what the hell, it was fun last year might as well do it again right? Thanks for organizing all of this btw Mazoo.

Posted at 8:10AM, Oct. 23, 2007

I'd like to sign up.

As for what I'd like?

I would absoloutly adore either a drawn remake of a strip in any of my two (rarely updated) comics (VGC or World of War)
or
A picture of Asareth (the black mage from World of War) with hippi elves.

I'll let the person who gets it decide.

Posted at 10:10AM, Oct. 23, 2007

fern

I would like Daphne from Daphne Descends under a mistletoe while every guy around her refuses to participate.

Posted at 11:10AM, Oct. 23, 2007

Wasn't here last year but would love to join in on this!

Let's see……From my strip: The Zoo at Home Donaque, Slash, and a big bowl of Eggnog. I'll let the artist decide the action for this.

Tankee!

I'd like to sign up and I'd like a group picture of David, Zoe, Edith and Mike (from Wolf) partying on Christmas Eve :)

Posted at 12:10PM, Oct. 23, 2007

Sounds fun. I'm game. :)

I'm usedbooks, and I'd like a romantic winter scene (serious or comedic tone) between any couple (or potential couple) from Used Books.

Posted at 3:10PM, Oct. 23, 2007

Why not. I'd like my character in a Santa hat doing whatever. As long as he's in a Santa hat. My comic is here. I'd also like to be in the DWC

Posted at 10:10PM, Oct. 23, 2007

Is it possible to sign up, for the DWC, if we don't have a comic?

I feel so impoverished for some reason, send reply to: box@mouldy.alley. :c

Posted at 11:10PM, Oct. 23, 2007

Sign me up. Dash drawings always please me greatly.

Posted at 1:10AM, Oct. 24, 2007

This looks awesome!

I'd love a picture of my character Nicodemus - Christmas-themed, but the Secret Santa can decide the details. Comic is here - Morphic. (Nicodemus is the white-haired kid).

Posted at 3:10AM, Oct. 24, 2007

Sign me up!

I'm Pixie, and I'd like a picture of my character Seth from October. Ideally, in a Santa hat, although he's also partial to hawaiian shirts. :D (Colour-wise, he has blonde dreads and brown eyes, since I'm aware it's hard to tell in a greyscale comic). I'll leave the rest up to whoever. :)

Posted at 4:10AM, Oct. 24, 2007

Looks like fun.

I'd like a scene of my "offline" characters from Attach This! exchanging gifts. Somewhat interesting because Christmas is nonexistent in the comic's world.

Posted at 4:10AM, Oct. 24, 2007

Hey this is an awesome idea!…I'd sign up…but…Well I'd have to draw someone's complicated character then!…and someone would have to draw my UNcomplicated character. I tip my bonnet to everyone who isn't a retard and DID sign up…

Posted at 6:10PM, Oct. 24, 2007

I'm Sidwarrious and I'd like the character Mason Alucade of Mercs to be a mall Santa. That seems funny to me, even though there is no Christmas in this world nor is it a modern setting. A Good full length picture of Mason is in the Mercs-Extras forums.

Posted at 6:10PM, Oct. 24, 2007

I thought I might tell you all. If I get you I will try my best to draw your characters. But don't be surprised if it's not as good as you hoped.

Posted at 7:10PM, Oct. 24, 2007

Same for me, though Ropin will be the one who draws.

Posted at 10:10PM, Oct. 24, 2007

Ooooh, I love secret santa events. Especially arty ones =D

I'm Julibee, and I think it would be cool to get…. well, anything based off of my comic Gwitch and Fish: http://www.drunkduck.com/Gwitch_and_Fish/ I'm not picky.

Wooo… fun stuff.

Posted at 11:10AM, Oct. 25, 2007

Aww hell, I'll sign up! I'll try mah best!

I'm crocty, and I'd like my characters Frank and Vinny, Doing anything christmas themed, aslong as it's not rated M or A…!!!!!1! Make them dancing around the christmas tree or something…ANYTHING!

Posted at 11:10AM, Oct. 25, 2007

Croc: I can't draw either, let alone someone elses character. I do a friggin'sprite, but hell, this idea rocks, so of course I'm game.

Posted at 2:10PM, Oct. 25, 2007

Hmn, I'll give it a shot. It's a really good idea, despite my background worries.

Mutation - Just wants a picture of Trina, do anything you like pretty much. Link= www.drunkduck.com/Legend_of_Setar
