Ok I think I like the idea of monthly sketch trades! I guess? Haha. It seems like a nice interval. I guess it would be getting a late start this month. But in the future I'll post a sign up during the last week of the previous month. And the trade will end on the last day of the month. kinda like the old PE/TRG days :> . And of course anyone can feel free to post your own themed trades of any sort, it's not just me whose allowed to do it.  Rules same as the previous trade. Each person does one drawing, for one person, and the requirements are only a sketch. Feel free to work on them as much as you want, though, I'll say. You never know when inspiration will strike, haha. but yeah, only a sketch is required. No themes, here. I guess I should say the subjects can be varied as well, it doesn't have to be a character we've created. If you want to draw but you don't have a lot of OC's, just request anything you want! Your pet, a fanart, etc etc etc. Limitlessssss! If we don't get at least two people signed up that's ok, I'll keep posting these every month just in case. |

Tadaka:
Jackal:
-Appears mid-30's ish
-5'9
-Pink hair
-"Skin" is artificial and only covers head and neck.
-Scar over right eye. Right eye is solid blue and glows, left eye appears "normal" and has a grayish blue iris.
-Missing left arm, but can attach prosthetics.
-Setting is variable. I'm still kind of working it out for myself but I guess I've been putting her into a desert/Mad Max type world for now.
Jackal used to be a cyborg but got so old that what was left of her original human body rotted away. She is now completely mechanical with some memories and parts of her personality preserved virtually so she is human-ish in her mannerisms but comes across as a little bit "off". She's pretty quiet usually and maybe has a slight tendency to loom uncomfortably though she doesn't intend to be creepy. In spite of usually only having one arm she is very adept with a sword and good at sizing up opponents.
If you don't want to draw a bunch of metal plating as always please feel free to cover her up with clothes.
Ando:
-57 years old
-3' tall. Round build emphasized by long fur.
-Himalayan. Seal point coloration with a white beard and mustache.
-Right eye is yellow, left eye is blue
-High fantasy setting.
Ando was part of a dungeons and dragons campaign called Kingmaker where we were tasked with scouting/settling some wild lands and making a castle town. He is a somewhat unknown opera singer, composer, and professor. He settled down after a wild youth spent traveling with his wife but started to get restless after a couple of decades of teaching and not having much luck getting his operas produced. He volunteered to be part of the scouting group to relive the adventures of his younger days and hopefully write something more inspired along the way.
I imagined that as a professor he was outwardly pretty reserved but encouraged his students to engage in political activism/radical new ideas. Sort of a buttoned down aging hippy type.

Skara put up a FIGHT, Molly! They wouldn't tell me what they wanted to wear today and I wish I could create clothing like you do! D: I will have a go at them again (actually I desperately want to make some belligerent/pouty chibis but I wasn't sure that was okay for a general trade, so I think that needs to happen sometime) <3

They are perfect. (It's also extremely on brand that they were being belligerent. Feisty baby. But also you KNOW I would accept chibis from you any day of the week forever and ever.)

They look amazing in your style :'). I love all that romantic flowing cloth/hair and of course your beautiful clean line art. It's so inspiring to see exchange art again, ahhh.
We should totally do a chibi round at some point. I don't think I've drawn more than one or two since the olden days.

I was thinking just the other day how my all-time favorite Ember art came from you! Thank you so much! You always give her such energy and life <3 And you included Blinky and they are clearly off for Fun And Generally Mischievous Adventures! I love everything about this and all the extra details you included way beyond a character sketch. *_* I'm so excited that I'm not even gonna go back and edit out half of the exclamation marks like I usually do in an attempt to appear not crazy. XD You get ALL the exclamation marks!!!! THANK YOU RAY <3 Edited to add: I'm all in for a chibi round!! <3 |

Horray, glad you like, Amy! The more exclamation points the better in my book, haha. Let em rip. Also it makes me really happy that you remember my old drawing of her and it was a favorite. ;;

Omg Nina!! It looks awesome to me, I don't see anything undone about it!! Though I completely understand that feeling when its my own work, so I get it. xd Ahhggg, though! It's somehow very surreal and awesome to see you draw Nina again. I know I've probably said it like 10 times recently but you drew the first art trade of Nina so many years ago. u_u I love her boots, the high heels, hell yes. Nina is a character that I love to see lookin hawt, haha. And you captured the smokey-sultry-ness and intensity in her expression and the windswept location. I also really dig the details you chose for her furry-ness. I know I don't have a species chosen for her, it's kind of a free-for-all fox-like situation, but I love what you chose with the longer nose and ears turned down. She could be any species or something completely unknown, they're animals in space!! Her pose is great as well, and the subtle background. I kinda imagine she's thinking about Bill Grey, wondering why he won't just quit the Bulldog unit and go back to freelancing. I really do need to draw her again! thank you i love it!! |

Sarah- a Tadaka for you!! It's been SO long since the last time I drew her, and I'm so pleased that she's gained some curves and folds since then! I hope the love of the folds shows. I couldn't tell whether her hip tattoos have also both undergone some changes to be more realistic lightning bolts or whether the ones on her right would still be more stylized, so... I made an executive decision  I really hope you like her! She's got such a great design.  |

Molly: Ahhhhh!!! Tadaka looks so beautiful ;;. You gave her such a gorgeous face and I love how you drew her figure. She's so perfectly sensual. Also all the detail in those clothes holy shit. The patterns on the various garments are beautiful and im totally blown away by the accuracy/consistency in the design on the trim. You can tell it would make cool sounds when she moves. The bracelets are also beautifully drawn. A good friend of mine has some just like that :'). Love how you handled the tattoos. Thank you so much. Its perfect!! It really makes me happy to add to my Molly art collection.
Ray: glad you like :3 I was definitely imagining she was brooding about Bill, hehe. I will try not to overwork it. Maybe I just want to spend more time with her >>. Shes such a fun character. Im honored to have been the first to do trade art of her but also it makes me happy I wasn't the last and also to be revisiting her myself years later.

I love Tadaka's poised yet calm expression, she just looks really chill and like I wanna hang out with her. xD And the coins on her clothing, heck yes, they really work to show form and space in a great way, I love details like that on clothing. Horray another great round complete! cheerrss!! |

Sorry I'm late to reply! I was out of state and literally off the grid
Sarah: I love Nina! Everything about this feels so windswept and natural, from the drape of her clothing to her posture. There's such a solid 3D feel to this picture and I love your line quality and character <3
Molly: Nnnf those clothes! Seriously I admire your skill with clothing and hand gestures so much. I love her features and how this feels somehow intimate between her pose, the almost over-the-shoulder position of our view, and those eyes

I really hope you like her! She's got such a great design.
