Title: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*
Post by: Eluluu on October 01, 2012, 10:27:20 AM
Hey everybody! its that time of year! costumes, candy, ...and PONIES!!!

now taking signups for the halloween/october atc swap!

what is an ATC, you say? well its a tiny drawing (the size of a baseball card, 2.5" x 3.5"), you can find blank pre-cut ATC cards at places like Hobby Lobby and i believe Walmart- by paper supplies or baseball/collectible cards and such. (and if you cant find them you can make your own by cutting out the proper sized paper- thats what i did for a while)

this swap requires no feedback (and is a great way to build up feedback while getting cute drawings from different people)

all skill levels are accepted and encouraged! just try your best!

taking signups til a week from today (monday 8th) partners will be randomly assigned and posted by Tuesday 9th, then you have til the end of the month to complete and mail off at least one atc (tho if you want to make multiple for your partner by all means run with it) if your card is going to be late thats fine, we all know Real Life happens, just let your partner know.

Pm your partner for their address once you know who you have, dont forget to send them yours too!

keep this thread updated so we know everyones status. let us know when youve finished a card and when you mail it- and when you get any! if for some reason you have to drop out of this midway let me know and i will make a spare card myself to cover your partner.

if you have a scanner/camera feel free to post pictures of the card(s) you get, everyone loves to see pretty ponies! :lovey:

thats pretty much it for the nitty-gritty (if you have more questions feel free to PM me or ask here), on to the fun stuff. =]

this months theme- Halloween! ponies in costume, candy, haunted houses, basically anything halloween. =D

Signup form:

Name-
Favorite generation-
Favorite ponies from said generations-
Anything in particular youd like to see (ie kitty costume, something gory, baby lickety split sorting candy etc etc)
Digital or traditional art-
Would you be willing to be a wild card*-


*wild card is when theres an uneven number of people then i will randomly draw a second time from those who agree to be a WC, and the person drawn will have 2 partners and will have to make a card for both.

sidenote- make sure you check with your partner first if you want to make a more gory card to see if theyd like it. not everyone likes blood and guts. =]

say 'Gummy' somewhere in your post so i know you read all of this =P (my bf loves that gator. hahaha)

Favorite ponies from said generations: I love ponies Quackers, Sunny Daze, Star Catcher, and Twilight Sparkle. Sunny Daze is my absolute favorite though! My OC (in my av, sig, an on my dA page) would be fun to see as well.

Digital or traditional art- Anything you can do! I just do traditional, though.
Would you be willing to be a wild card*- why not?

I hope I'm not too late for signups! I've never tried this before, and I'm definitely not the best artist in the world, but I really love drawing! I was actually spurred to do this when I found the ATCs in Michael's today.  Gummy! And a probably dumb question: what's the best way to send a card without ruining/ smudging the drawing?
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *signups*
Post by: Eluluu on October 08, 2012, 07:43:01 PM
nah youre fine mossy. im letting it run til midnight (almost 10 here) before i draw partners tomorrow to give people time to squeak in.

Post by: Foxfire on October 08, 2012, 09:08:50 PM
I like to use card protectors usually used for magic the gathering/ pokemon like trading card games. I got some cheap ones at a GenCon (a game convention) a few years ago that I like to use. You can get them at your local gaming store. Maybe some comic book stores might have them. Sometimes the place where you got your atc blanks will have protective sleeves too.

Post by: Eluluu on October 08, 2012, 11:34:09 PM
nah youre fine amenoo.  ive decided ill post partners when i log on tomorrow, since theres a few late comers, theyll have tonight to sign up. =]

and yes, plastic card sleeves are great, can be found in hobby shops and typically anywehre that carries baseball cards and the like. if you worry it may bend then put a little firmer paper behind the card before you put it in the sleeve =]
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *signups*
Post by: Moss on October 09, 2012, 03:00:06 AM
Ah, ok! I'll be on the lookout for those, then. One more question, then I promise I'll be less annoying lol. Do you just mail the cards in a regular envelope, or are bubble mailers preferred? And shipping with tracking, yay or nay? Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to do this improperly!

Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*
Post by: rosierjay on October 10, 2012, 04:19:13 PM
are we allowed to pm our partner if we have a question? (first art swap)
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*
Post by: Eluluu on October 10, 2012, 07:43:48 PM
sorry been kinda busy.

moss: a regular sized envelope is fine as long as you put the atc in a cardsleeve to keep it safe. tracking isnt really necessary but if you want to do it thats fine, its only like another 80 something cents. =P

rosie: PM your partner with any questions you want. you dont HAVE to keep the cards secret from them its just kinda tradition to keep them under wraps til they get them so theyre a suprise. but if you wanted clarification on something or just to run an idea past them feel free. =]
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*

Thanks! I'll worry more about shipping when I'm all done!

I was actually able to finish one card yesterday (rare day when I had a ton of free time). Maybe I'll make a few more...
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*

Post by: NinaMarie on October 17, 2012, 11:01:04 AM
I'm not worried about about the style being true to the generation. Last swap I did my partner did Posey in the G4 style and it was adorable (looked  a lot like Fluttershy lol)
My pony art style is sort of a mix between G1 and G3. I use my coloring books for referance  ^.^
I've had a busy work weekend and all kinds of appointments and homework so I haven't started mine other than to do a quick idea sketch on my lecture notes  :lol:

Went to Michael's today and couldn't find individual trading card sleeves. I did find tiny ziploc bags that are the perfect size, though! Hopefully I'll get to mail them either during the week or over the weekend!
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*
Post by: Eluluu on October 22, 2012, 09:52:48 AM
another trick you can use is those quarter machines you get big stickers and tattoos out of, they have those thin cardboard folded white boards over them.. .those should fit over atcs also. =] just another fun idea. =]

Ok so I got mine a week ago but have failed to take the time to digitize and share them with you and i apologize  :blush:
Eluluu outdid herself by sending me 3 cards! She drew all the ponies i listed as my favorites.

I adore the mischeiviousness of Waterfire and Thistle Whistle in their devil and angel costumes clearly out to pull pranks. And the group parasprite costumes are adorable. Coconut Grove was the first pony I bought and holds a special spot in my heart so i most love her in her wizard costume. Thanks so much Eluluu they are wonderful.

But geeze guys whats with all the extra effort and extra cards? Lol I feel a bit sheepish about my contribution. I hope everyone gets their cards soon. Some amazing art happening.

Post by: Eluluu on November 13, 2012, 07:17:09 AM
well im glad you like them, i was nervous as id never tried my hand at G3 style before... as for the bonus cards, lol i dunno XD i usually make 2, but lately ive still been doin even more extras just cause i have oodles of time on my hands.
Title: Re: Halloween/October ATC swap *partners posted*
Post by: NinaMarie on November 13, 2012, 11:31:32 AM
I was at Hobby Lobby last week and discovered they had cloth ATCs. Which got me thinking maybe i'd try my hand at an embroidered ATC if it was allowable.
I've done small embroidery bits here and there and really enjoy it.

Post by: Eluluu on November 13, 2012, 01:58:54 PM
i wouldnt think itd be a problem. pretty much any medium is cool as long as its the right size =]
