Okay, another idea I had, at some odd unspeakable hour of the morning, but I thought would be coolish.

An art trade chain thread. Now let me explain.

The first poster, the lucky goit, gets something for nothing, they make a request for a drawing, whatever they like.
Then the next poster, somebody interested in the request, declares their intent to draw it, gets round to doing so, and makes their request. And thus it continues, onwards and upwards, a paying forward chain of doodles for other people =D

Thoughts on this matter?

Trades:
Spiner for Everyone: Being a sexy studmonkey.
Sagey for Spiner: Spiner
Crimmy for Sagey: Cari
Spiner for Crimmy: ---
Socks for Spiner: ---
Nuchypoo for Socks: ---

Oh pick me too! This sounds awesome 😀 So does this mean I would then draw a pic for Spiner?

EDIT: I would like a picture of my character, Cari. An example of her face can be seen to the left of this post.

She is crazy-tall (6 foot, 5 inches) with dark blue hair reaching down to mid-thigh. Her eyes are turquoise-green, and her skin is quite pale. She has pointed ears, because elves are awesome. The last thing that needs to be in it is a sapphire pendant on a black cord around her neck. Her normal outfit consists of the following: a loose, silver long-sleeve blouse with poofy sleeves and a relaxed collar extending from either shoulder, and an equally relaxed-looking violet skirt reaching just above her knees. She also wears soft brown boots, the tops of which sag down like socks to about her ankles.

Cari is basically a hippie, standing up for the weak and making friends with everyone. She's optimistic and bright, and a terrible cook. Though she's friendly, she's very casual and dismissive of romance in her direction. She has a strong sense of pride and if provoked enough, she will retaliate if she's attacked. But that doesn't usually happen 😀

If you want a pose, just tell me and I'll be happy to provide one ^^

Yeah, I guess Spiner's the lucky ole' muffin going first then? Which means Sagey would draw a picture requested by him, then I'd draw one requested by Sagey, then Johnny nextguy would draw one for me, etc and so forth =3

Awesome. So that's how it's done. I thought I would've been the one drawing, but oh well, I'm happy with this.

Anyway, the request that I do want done, a picture of my online avatar, Spiner.

Reference pics are here, here (but without the tank shoes), and here.

EDIT: And I guess, by posting again, I think I'll be doing one for Crimmy! =O

I should mention that simply posting in this thread wasn't intended to signify volunteering to draw the next pic. You can comment and banter and throw bean bags at Spiner too.

Ah okay ^^ Spiner, I'm sorry I haven't gotten to work on your pic yet. Just started working part time with a full-time school schedule, it's a little painful at first. I should have time this weekend to draw it 😀

That's fine, Sage. Take all the time you need. No rush about it.

Sure looks like it, LWS. ^^ The way I understand it, you can also request whatever you want drawn and the next person who wants to take it up will (if nobody does by the time I'm done with Spiner's, I probably will).

Because it can get kind of confusing amid all the random replies, can I make a suggestion to have people edit their request into their "I'll draw your picture!" post, like what I did? That way you know who's drawing pictures, for who, and of what, thus separating from the random banter. I'll even edit the first post if you want but are lazy (which is perfectly fine).

I'm no artist but I wanted to just post and say "wow this is a cool idea." Looking forward to seeing what comes of this.

Hmmmmm, on Sagey's organisational suggestion, I have an additional idea, I could edit in who is doing what for whom in the first post of the thread, just to help keep track of stuff too.

Actually, LWS, you'd be drawing for Spiner-man, since he said he'd be doing one for me. Ho my this is getting crazy :crazy : and I'll make a request of him when I get round to deciding some requests to make =P

Also Sagey, I drew Cari recently (Though you won't know this yet, muhahahaha...) But it should be fun to draw her again in proper this time =D

Best way is to get an account at something like Imageshack or Photobucket or something similar, then simply upload them there, and put a link.

A handy-dandy link to Photobucket, for your convenience. Also I thought ImageShack's gimmick was that you didn't need an account? When you upload to either of them you should get some handy dandy boxes with various bits of code in them. There should be one that says something like IMG tag or message board or BB code: copy the code from that and paste it into a post (make sure you have ezCodes selected at the top) and it should work. Alternatively, one of the boxes should be labeled HTML or somesuch. Do the same thing with that one, but enable HTML instead of ezCodes when posting.

While I'm here, bagsy drawing for Socks. 😀

I'll draw most anything (within the board rules, of course ;D) but I may take a while over it.

Well you have to tell me what to draw first. ;P That's sort of how requests work.

Well, I would like a picture of any way you would think I look like. Just so I can think of what I look like in case i do a Roleplay or story about the "LWS' or "SOCKS" character. Cause I can't really think of what I look like.

Yea, PENGUINS RULE!

Might anyone tell me what "Anthro Art" is?

Anthro Art is basically animals who have human like proportions (stand on 2 feet) and such.

Basically what Craig said. Comes from the word anthropomorphic, which roughly means human-shaped. Bugs Buggy and Sonic are two examples of anthropomorphic characters you should be familiar with. They're also known as furries and there's a big internet community based around the concept, whose members are also called furries.

Ahh, I am aware of the word "anthromorphic" because it has been used around the board before. But now i uderstand the short version "anthro".
