Hi there people! The trades are closed, at least in this thread. I might open another (new) one in the future though!

Rules
  • You send me a link to your character of choice's page or reference image(s), I draw them! :)
  • I send you a link to my character of choice's page or reference image(s), you draw them!
  • BOTH drawings should be "similar" so that it isn't unfair for either of us, more on that below:
  • When linking the character's reference, choose if you want it to be a bust, waist up or full body and if it's sketch, or clean+colored sketch, and lastly, if it's traditional or digital art. Remember, what you choose is what you will do as well, that's what I mean with "similar" drawings, this way there will be no cases of "You drew a fully rendered, full body piece of art for me an all I did was a rough bust sketch", I don't want this to be unfair for you!
  • Only YOUR OWN characters can participate. No pre-existing movie or series fanart, buddy, this is raw uncensored agressive OC apreciation bc it phisically pains me how people have awesome characters that might never receive their own fanart bc social media algorithims messes with the reach of their universes and characters! This is supposed to be pure OC mom/dad/parent solidarity>:(
  • No obligation to read the character's profile! I will read your character's profile (if you send them, ofc) because I wanna put some of their personality into the drawing, but you don't really have to read mine if you don't want to :) I understand some of y'all probably don't have a lot of time either, so no pressure.
  • As long as your art skills aren't a literal stick figure, all skillsets are welcome!
  • DEADLINE FOR SENDING THE DRAWINGS: 2 WEEKS (Valid for both you and me, I'll follow this as well. I extended from 1 week to 2 because now that my university is back offline, I don't have as much free time, but still-)
  • NO NSFW, EVER. Mild gore, blood, scars and triggering topics are totally fine by me, but I won't draw nor want my characters drawn in any s3xual content. I know people in these forums are pretty respectful of this already, but mentioning again doesn't hurt!
  • Lastly, you can participate more than once if you want to!

This is what my art looks like, for the record :) This is from june tho so yeah, I've gotten a bit better.

And may the angry OC aprecciation start!!!!! >:((((((

DUDE I WOULD SO LOVE TO DO THIS!!
I mean, I still have to draw mr angy Henka for you, but I adore all your characters and would be absolutely willing to do a trade!! Your art style is absolutely ~chefs kiss~

Here’s my lovely Claudia to start, I’ll upload more of her refs too :) And personally, I’ll do digital art, with a colored sketch! I can do anything from a bust to a very dramatic intricate full body pose so, if it’s okay with you, I’ll let you chose that bc I’m indecisive:’)

@Burn_With_Me group

Yay!! First off, your art style is AMAZING. I love it. And secondly, here's my character Jake! (Let me know if the link works, I'm not totally familiar with the system, lol)
Waist-up, coloured sketch (doesn't have to be clean), and digital. I'm excited!

Alright! since I had already asked you to draw Henka, the deed remains. I started drawing claudia today and lemme tell ya, this character looks stunning! I must admit I wasn't expecting "that b**" to be one of her other names tho lol xD

First of all, thank you so much! This drawing here is a bit old but basically I only changed one thing in my art style, making the lineart thicker. Although, since these drawings won't have lineart (that's why it's a colored sketch) (trust me, it takes dAYS), it's gonna be basically the same (just a bit more anatomically correct)

Second, the link does work and OH GOD YOUR ART STYLE IS GORGEOUSSMDMEMSOLCWEKCWOOLD

Imma ask you to draw my baby Jack, I haven't filled his page yet, so a couple things might be missing. Thank God I'm finally (or almost) on vacation, at least NOW I'll be able to fill all of my "ghost" pages lol

@Burn_With_Me group

Okay but did you draw those??? Because they are AMAZING LIKE IM NOT KIDDING. The one where he's picking up his wife??? 😭❤❤ Does he have lower fangs or is that just an artistic decision to show he can shapeshift into an animal?

Thank you and yeah, I did! I just realized how little I actually draw Jack digitally, I'll try and make a better reference for him tho. Also, yeah, he has 1 lower fang that sticks out even in his human form (just an artistic decision to show he can shapeshift into an animal), as well as pointy ears (kinda elf-like, but shorter, it actually has a "sad" reason behind it and it's how dobermans are born with floppy ears (and a normal tail) and then get them cut off just to make them stand up and be pointier/look threatning. Since Jack had his ears and tail cut as well it reflects in his human form too, with pointy ears. Kinda sucks but hey, it's just a reflection of real life)

XD thank you so much!! Oh yeah. She’s just like that lmao! Also I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten her ref up yet!! Lmk if you still need that :’)

@AloofFloof group

Oh WOW, your art is amazing!! I've been doing a ton of art trades recently and would love to trade with you if you are still open ;o; I am keen to do a clean-colored digital fullbody. I'll give you some choices for character as I don't have a strong preference and love them all! My links are on toyhouse rather than here though because it's more suited for my art hoarding habits sksksksks

Pirate themed characters:
1) Elian, a cinnamon roll ship's cook who likes to make people smile: https://toyhou.se/11536413.elian-arrow
2) Simon, an uptight epidemiologist constantly digging up conspiracies: https://toyhou.se/11450570.professor-simon-woods
or
Superhero character:
3) Tobias, a deeply misfortunate former superhero in the midst of going powermad: https://toyhou.se/13524752.dr-tobias-macclain

i have other options if these don't interest! on the pirate characters relationship tabs, there are links to other characters which you're welcome to follow if you see someone more interesting to ya
(also I really enjoy doing full body drawings for interesting posing and stuff, but I still keep my line art on so it's not as taxing as lineless stuff; and on that note if I do a clean, lined, shaded fullbody – I would totally understand if you'd rather do a half-body or something !! if that makes sense lel)

@Cadeverek group

Hey @Glade-Morketid-from-Lynn*! Claudia is ready!

(Please warn me in case the link is not working! I hosted in Google drive, I don't have Notebook.ai premium so I need to save up space and couldn't host it here :/)

I read her page and dude, I was about to tell you how she was absurdly lightweight, like, literally Eugenia Cooney level underweight, and that it would be biologically impossible for her to be sturdy+curvy at a weight so low that she probably wouldn't even have hair out of malnutrition. Luckily tho, then I read the page that specifies about her species and OH BOy what a relief! I really like her design tho!
I made a bust because the reference was also a bust, and I also gave her a choker for her alt aesthetic :]
There are 2 backgrounds because ACE FELLA ACE FELLA ACE FELLA HAPPY ACE NOISES OMG YES

Also, I was afraid Henka would be too edgy and must admit I was kinda embarassed of asking you to draw him but reading Claudia's page I just thought "Nevermind lol, at least my baby isn't the only edgy child in these forums :)" (………………….although he might still the the edgiest lol) (and also, when I say edgy I don't mean in a bad way, I honestly adORE edgy characters!)

@Cadeverek group

your art style is super cool!! is this still open?

Yes, it's open! It's always open as long as it's stated otherwise in the title ^w^ and also, thank you a lot!

AND THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

@Cadeverek group

Fun fact, you made me physically smile while typing this, you should feel honored, you deserve it

HAPPINESS NOISES

@Cadeverek group

@Burn_With_Me I DID HIM JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE

HIM. HE. HE IS SO CUTE
Why does he give me such "surfer boy" vibes?

Also, I actually like how he's just a "normal" human, I mean, that's pretty refreshing actually! Fantasy characters and settings are just almost a norm these days (and I too have commited ans still commit this sin lol), so seeing a character who is a regular human, in our current time inside of our actual world is becoming quite hard, but it's always nice to stop and aprecciate the "nowadays". Most OCs I see are either not human, a human with powers, in a completely different world or in our world but far back in another period or straight into the future, I didn't expect what I got with Jake (in the best way possible!) Good job, Jake is a great character!

Tobias, a deeply misfortunate former superhero in the midst of going powermad: https://toyhou.se/13524752.dr-tobias-macclain

OMG OMG ITS HIM TOBIAS IVE SEEN HIM BEFORE IN THE ART FORUNS AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OMG TOBIAS ILL MAKE TOBIAS HIM YES HIM I LOVE HIM I WANNA ADOPT HIM SWEET BOY SWEET SWEET BOY HIM YES HIM

Now, since you gave me 3 options, I'll do the same (…………………………ok, 4 options, I-… I'M INDECISIVE, OK?!). ONCE AGAIN, I still haven't sat down to write their profiles yet, so most of them are nearly blank (I swear I'm trying to fill their profiles, just know they are pretty far into the development process). Feel free to choose whoever you prefer!

  • Henka, yes, I asked Lynn to draw him already (and oMG I LOVE IT) but c'mon, he's my favorite child, and that's pretty significant when it's out of 84 characters lol. I'd honestly ask everyone in this thread to draw him but as a mother I feel the duty of ugh showing my other children. (Trigger warning and He'sEdgyOnPurposeISwearPlzDon'tJudgeMeIMadeHimWhenIWas14 warning) Who am I kidding, I will end up asking other people to draw him sooner or later

  • Kainu. Currently, he has the personality of a cardboard box and the backstory of a door, but he has a nice concept and I'm working on it. After all, he's my newest OC!

  • Inoue is unintentionally a douche, but I'd say she's a good character overall. I don't love her but hey, she's the protagonist, I guess I'm supposed to develop her or something xD

  • Marilynn. I LOVE HER, PROTECC HER, PROTECC HER AT ALL COSTS (not quite literally bc she's dead oops)

Lemme know who you choose! I honestly don't mind, I'm hella indecisive so any of them will make my day lol

You have no idea how happy this makes meeee T-T NO ONE EVER CHOOSES TOBIASSSS! I've had him on ArtFight for two years and I've put him up for selection on Toyhouse art trade forums countless times and not ONCE has anyone but me wanted to draw him ;-; THANK YOU OML, I'M SO EXCITED

  • Henka, yes, I asked Lynn to draw him already (and oMG I LOVE IT) but c'mon, he's my favorite child, and that's pretty significant when it's out of 84 characters lol.

EDIT: sketch done 16/12 <3 time for clean up and colors

THANK YOU THANK YOU AHHHH OMG IT'S AMAZING I LOVE IT I PUT IT ON MY GALLERY OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH AHHHH IMMA CRY OVER IT NOWWWW

Yeah, I can see him being a surfer if he lived in California hahaha. He's a New York boi, tho. And thanks! I'm glad you think he's a good character. I personally admire people who have the guts to create universes and different races and abilities and things. I've always loved that kind of thing, but ultimately, I'm there for the character, so it just made sense for me to cut away the fluff that I got frustrated spending time on and get to the heart of the character and their personality and stuff. So part of it is laziness lol. But I do love seeing how I can push myself by making a character that's no different from us, but still interesting, yknow? Anyway yeah THANK YOU FOR LIKING HIM AND DRAWING HIM

AND I DID JACK LAST MINUTE im SOO sorry it's rlly bad and not dynamic at all and im pretty sure i screwed his character but HERE YA GO I HOPE YOU LIKE IT YOURS WAS WAY BETTER BUT omg im sad to say i restarted this drawing like ten times and i still dont love how it turned out but ITS OKAY AT LEAST I DID IT
