The Avatar Exchange, Round 5 - COMPLETE!

[Eviecorn]

The Avatar Exchange!

Sorry for the delay, folks, but the AX is back!

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 creamy 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 Thursday, April 25th at 9:00 pm EST
Partners Sent: between sign-up close and 5 pm the next day
Working: April 26th through May 12th
Final Posting Deadline: Sunday, May 12th at 11:00 pm EST
