EDIT 2: Only 1 day left! Thank you to those who've participated so far!

I wonder if I need to extend the deadline? Hm...

EDIT: You have 10 days left! I have 5 entries so far, please give them love too~



It appears that I will be spending Christmas by myself this year... no Christmas get-together with the family, no Christmas dinner, and... well, no presents either. Truthfully, presents usually go down in number when your age goes up, but I digress!

As I never really get invited to Secret Santa events in either, I decided to be a little bit selfish this year. Oh Santa, please forgive me!

Anyway! Since a lot of people want to do art trades with me, I will open this event:



For example:
If you sketch one of my OCs, then I will sketch a character of your choice (oc or fanart).
If you give me line art, you can either ask me to color it, or I'll give you a line art too.
If you give me colored works, then I will give you one too.

BUT!
If I can not match your work (like written work, cosplay, plushies, etc.)... then I am at your mercy! then you can request a commission from me and I will give you the high resolution via email.
If in case the written work is a short comic script that I like, then I will post it as a webcomic on my site kurohiko.blogspot.com and credit you as the writer.

Sounds good to you? Cool! Have some rules:

1. Entries must have the theme SNOW incorporated in them. It doesn't matter if it's actually snowing, or if there's a single snowflake ornament in one of the character's hair. Interpret it however you'd like!
2. Only fanarts submitted from now until December 16th will be accepted. That gives you 3 weeks!
3. Only my original series (A.illusions, Twilight's Calling, and Karma) will be accepted. Fanart from my doujinshin (Mote-Mote) will not be accepted unless you draw Baku in human form as he is also my OC.
4. Note me with the link to your deviation and write your Christmas Wish.
5. Please remember that I will match your requests with what you give me as a fair trade. If you draw 1 character, then I will also draw 1 character for you.
6. The top entries will be included in my next independent comic's fanarts section.
7. ALL ENTRIES will be included in the Gift section of my webcomic:kurohiko.blogspot.com/p/gifts.…
8. ALL ENTRIES will be featured in my deviantart journal for the entire month of January 2011.
9. Have fun please! Make this a Happy Christmas for me, you, and everyone too!


Who are my original characters?
Please read up about them for free on my online manga: kurohiko.blogspot.com/p/manga.…



Questions? Leave a comment and I will answer them here. Thank you everyone!


PS. Needless to say Commissions are closed for the month of December! But orders that I've already been paid for will be finished up soon! Thank you for your patience~


Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I participate in this event even if I don't have a account?
Yes, absolutely! Instead of noting my your entry, you can email it to me in kurohiko at gmail dot com!

How many entries will be included in your independent comic?
That really depends... but I currently have space for 4.

Who are the people judging the entries?
For now, just me. I might use a poll to determine the winner, but I'm not sure yet.

Can I donate prizes?
Sure! That would be awesome! Leave me a note and if there are enough entries, I will reply to you to confirm your donation.

Can I enter more than once?
Nope, sorry, not for now... I want to be able to draw each person something in return. It wouldn't be fair if I can only draw you one thing when you're giving me more... unless of course, that's ok with you..! Because I love getting fanart! >.<
