Same old routine. Post copy-pasted from an old thread then edited.
Welcome ladies and gents to yet another round of Draw Your Friends !
(Round 26
or 'season 2, round XII' or XII!)
It 's been a whille. I don't know if it's really the best time but I have some free time right now and I'm feeling in the mood to ty to host a round of this before I get really busy in December
I'm your host smuchmuch.
No cohost for now unless someome feel like it.
As usual, a minute of silence for those before us that were lost to us in the mist of time and real life: Fin, araveugnitsuga (..Pinky), Eleanor Rigby and Gnomish Wanderer
And Two vague seconds of aknowlegement for Cuthalion and Duck999! for atempting to host the last round.
So... what is Draw your friends ?
It's a short 'secret santa' like art exchange game that take place on those forums
How does it works ?
Here are the steps:
1) First well be recruiting for a couple of days untill we hit a decent number of participants. (generaly 12 to 14). Simply post your interest and you're in.
If, as luck would have it, you couldn't post your interest in time and there isn't any place left, it is possible to ask to be in the wishlist. you will automaticaly have a place int he next round. (warning, No promess as to WHEN the next round will be; however in hollyday season, they tend to be two or three in a row).
2) Once the required number of participants are in, the game starts.
The host will post a theme (The theme is NOT mandatory, it's sjut here to spice things up) and a deadline
3)To each and everyone of you another randomly selected participant is secretly assigned as target and you have to 'draw' for them.
You will recieve a PM along the lines of:
I'm your host Y
Your target is X
The (non mandatory) theme is Z
The deadline JJ/MM
4) You draw (or paint, or program or bake or wichever...). When you are done (preferably before the deadline); and send it by PM to the cohost that has been asigned to you
That mean you don't post it in the thread.
5) The day of the dealine, the announcement happens.
The hosts will pool together the entries they have recieved and one of them will (in a 24/48 h delay) post all the entires in an anontmous gallery.
Like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14928774&postcount=37), for example
6) There's a second phase of two or three days when everyone can take a guess as who has drawn what and for who.
Like this, for example
Taking part in this is by no mean mandatory but it can be interesting.
7) Finaly the reveal happens.
One of the hosts posts a second gallery with the names
Like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14961041&postcount=44).
And that’s it. Warm fuzzy feelings, satisfaction of a job well botched done and pats in the back for everyone !
Precicions
Despite the name, you don’t have to ‘draw’ per se. Most entires have been avatars or drawings (both digital or handdrawn) but we had a nuber of other things, such as paintings, comics, a smalish video game (props to Elanor rigby for that one) and cookies. (well at least photgraphies of but I assure you they were delicious). Unconventionel and original formats are encouraged.
Oh and, no despite the facy name, you don’t have to be friends either. :smalltongue: (Nor does it have anything to do with cartoon about multicolored equines
Yes you can participate if you are new around here and a complete stranger (your designated artist may have to be a bit more resourcefull than usual , they tend to be anyway). We alway appreciate seeing new faces aroud here.
The theme is generaly kept very broad and is by no mean mandatory.
About the deadline:
Please don’t sign in if you think you can’t commit for the chalenge.
DYF is a pretty informal game, you don't have to pull your hairs for a whole week and produce an astonishing master piece, it's really the though that counts and chances are your target will appreciates the result no matter what. But nothing to show at all, that not so appreciated.
Nontheless we understand IRL happens, in case you really can’t make it to the deadline:
-It is possible to ask the hosts for a small extension (asumming you ask before) The deadline may be extended by one of two days.
-It is possible to send things last call between the announcement and the reveal (at which point they’ll be shown directly in the reveal)
