OC Design Grab Bag
If everyone would like a rerun of this event, please sign up again. Since the numbers dwindle down quick as to who sticks around and who leaves, please tell me any advice like if I should extend the drawing time frame, leave the opening time period open a little longer, etc. Please fill out a form, and we'll get this going .o.
Alright, hello hello to all of you. This is the Art Hub's first official event. That does not mean you have to be a member of the Hub to join this. This is an open event to anyone who would like to join. So let's get right down to business. The Concept - I've had this idea for awhile ever since the creation of the oc design trade by Bleating Ram . So we could consider this the younger, much more wilder cousin of it. The OC Design Grab Bag is a secret santa design trade kind of thing. I'm going to need at least 10 participating artists to get things on the way. It's simple. You submit a cool oc design to me and I'll put your name on a list. When we get 10 people, I shuffle up the artwork and give out a random oc design to you. Of course I'll have precautions in place so you won't get your own design!
That said, I will of course be willing to take more than 10 people but I won't be able to get it off the ground with a handful like 4 or 5 members. It would be a big help if, in addition to all that, you would pm me your character designs instead of posting them here. I would rather there be an element of surprise.
Organization - In order to facilitate the process, I will make several different categories for those interest in a specific category. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we'll get enough people interested in this that it actually takes off. The categories are as follows:
Human/Humanoid ocs Feline ocs Canine ocs Mixed Grab Bag
Rules - Considering this event is open to members of all art levels, I would like to lay down a few base rules.
- Character Design
- No nsfw/mature themes in these designs. Be mindful of what you do.
- Please try not to make boring/bland designs. However, in addition to this statement, please do not make eyeburners or overly cluttered designs. It might make it hard for the owner of the new oc to actually utilize them or draw them in the future.
- When making designs, please take into consideration what you would consider a good design. It doesn't have to be complicated or skillful, but take into consideration: color scheme, design, maybe even character motifs [like little small symbols their design is based on]. Just try to have fun with it and make a product you would be proud of giving to someone else!
- Ownership
- The design, once passed over to the new owner, belongs to them. You will be credited with the design and the artwork.
- If this does not bode well with you despite the fact that you will be getting your very own unique oc design, then I would suggest you not joining.
- Artistic Integrity
- Please do not steal artwork given to you here and claim it as your own.
- Put in your best effort for these designs! I will hold the right to reject artwork I feel like had no effort placed into them. I do not want somebody who puts hours into making a good lined and colored drawing to get a pencil sketch. So please be kind and considerate of your fellow artists!
Once we have enough members, I'll set a due date for the artwork. But I'm thinking about two weeks time for everybody to get in their character designs. If you fail to submit by deadline, you're removed from the current trade and you'll just have to reapply ^^'
Due Dates -

Username: FåwnFrøst Category of interest: Feline OCs Other: If a grab bag is a mix of different types of OCs, I'd be interested in that too. I have never done this before, so I don't really know what it is.

If I missed adding u for whatever reason/didn't put u in the right category or all the right categories, just tell me. Also don't worry about one category getting more than ten ppl, I'm feeling like humanoids will fill up fast so I'll leave it open until the weekends so if u want to sign up for humanoid ocs, go for it!

For clarification because it wasn't clear: mixed grab bag is for anybody who wants to join with any sort of character design. It can be dragons, canines, felines, humanoid ocs, etc. It's just a surprise mix of things xD

Sorry guys, something's wrong with my graphic tablet, I'll have to wait a day or two in between drawing so I might not finish in time.

I've finished mine, but me and Irisluv had a question. Should we include anything other than the design? Like ... name, gender, ect? Because I have something set up for the cat one just in case, but nothing for the humanoid one. ^^

Post by L’Éᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ on Feb 16, 2018 2:59:21 GMT -5
Ah you can include as much/as little as you want because you should try to keep in mind once it goes to whoever gets the new character, they could edit the base u have set for them ^^'

Good to know! Cool. Thank you very much. The motivation to take photos of it now. Cause sadly the watercolor is too big to scan.
