The Avatar Exchange Round 3 - Partners Sent!!!

[Eviecorn]

The Avatar Exchange!

Basically, this works much like the ATC swap, with the exception of mailing - whether your artwork is traditional or digital, it will all be delivered here!  Each round you'll get a secret partner (who you will keep secret until you reveal the avatar) and will have three weeks to deliver an avatar based on your partner's form.

Guidelines:

-You should deliver two versions of your icon: a 150x150 version for use here at the Arena (under 60k, please) and a larger, un-cropped version.  If you do pixel ponies, the second can be waived as a larger version may not exist.
-If you have a current adoptable, please do not use the lines from it to complete this trade.  On that note, you should only use original (by you) artwork only, please.
-Please deliver on time.  If you have not delivered on time for the round, your ability to participate in future exchanges will be suspended until you make up your part.
-Artwork should abide by Arena standards of content, of course. 
-Please don't use DeviantArt to link to reference pictures or host your final avatar.  Sometimes DA messes up and you can't view the image.  Try a free service somewhere instead, please.
-Your sign-up post should contain the word fever somewhere in order to signify to me that you've read the rules.
-Do not reveal your partner before you're done!  If you have any questions, please message me and I can PM your partner. 
-Post your finished avatar to this thread when you are finished.  You may post the avatar up to three days before the deadline, but no earlier, please.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask in this thread!

Dates:

Sign-ups:  now through Tuesday, January 8th, at 9:00 pm EST
Partners Sent: between sign-up close and 5 pm the next day
Working: Jan 9th through Jan 26th
Final Posting Deadline: Saturday, Jan 26th by 11:00 pm EST

Sign-ups go in this thread!  Please do not PM them to me.  Thanks!

Okay one question, is this a one time deal or going to go for several months?  Right now I have time so could get one done, later on in the year not so much.  It sounds great Evie.

Oooh, me me me!  I love having the custom avatars that I can switch up every once in a while.

What are your specialities?  (Only pony art, or anthro and/or people as well?  Realistic or toony?  Digital or traditional?  Do you do animated GIFs or pixels?  Anything else you can think of?). My ponies are pretty cartoony I guess.  I am best at traditional art, so will likely stick with that unless I have a brilliant digital idea.  I don't know how to animate.

Brief Character Description: Vessa is a yellow unicorn with green hair and blue socks/blaze/spots.  She wears a pink tail bow and has no particular magic to speak of.  She's happy and loves animals.

It's a one-time thing, Evie does separate signups each time, like the ATC swaps (minus the shipping)

Hmm.... I wonder if I feel artistic enough to conjure up another one so soon. *goes to think about it*

It's round by round, so feel free to participate or not each individual round.  Just sign up if you do, and don't if you don't.  No commitment beyond this round.

Brief Character Description: Freebird is loyal and will take the reins when a friend or her family needs a helping hoof. She likes small groups of friends but needs her alone time to work on her creative projects as well. Though sometimes she can come off as argumentative and sarcastic, she's warm, talkative, and easygoing with her friends.

What are your specialities? Digital art, I can do realism and toon. I am terrible at pixels. I can draw people but not well. I can also draw anthro.

Brief Character Description: Dendrite lives in a place that is frequently cold, and battered by snow. He lives with his sister, and they brave the elements to rescue other ponies and animals who may be trapped in the frequent snowstorms. Unfortunately, Dendy is pretty serious business, and doesn't take jokes very well. He's strong, and fearless.

What are your specialities? Anthro and pony art, more toony than realistic.  I can do both traditional and digital art, along with basic animation.

Brief Character Description: Eviecorn is a muted bluish-purplish-grey unicorn with multicolored dreadlocks.  She is very much like a fell pony in body type, and has shaggy fetlocks.  Her cutie mark is a Mario-esque star with a fire trail.  She always wears her wooden bead necklace and her pink paisley headband.  She is sweet-natured, inquisitive, mellow, highly intelligent and deep, and quietly happy.

What are your specialities?  (Only pony art, or anthro and/or people as well?  Realistic or toony?  Digital or traditional?  Do you do animated GIFs or pixels?  Anything else you can think of?)
I like to draw G1 style ponies in ink and colored pencil or my own style of ponies like in my ref picture. Traditional art. I can do people too but unless you ask I won't.   I really prefer traditional for receipt too but digital makes me happy as well.

Orange eyes
Spiraled unicorn horn
Hoof and legs grade from a slightly darker blush peachy pink into a pale blush peachy pink body.
Very long flowing hair in light gray, dark gray, blonde and brown.

I'm not big on anthros.  No G3.5. I don't like big heads on small bodies. Not a fan of chibis or cutesy cute.
