🎄 2022 Secret Santa! (Closed)

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago (Edited 1 year, 6 months ago) by iinkt

Welcome to the hub for the 2022 Spirit of Giving Secret Santa! 

WHAT IS SECRET SANTA?

Secret Santa is a holiday game in which users are paired with each other to give them gifts. 

In our version, fill out a form of what you’d like (as well as any dislikes, if you need to clarify) to recieve and you’ll be paired with someone to make them a gift! You should give them their gift by December 25th. You’ll be pinged in this hub with a reminder a few times, but try to complete it sooner than later!

While you’re only required to make one gift, if you’re feeling generous, you are welcome to make an extra gift, or give them Presents! (Presents will be available starting Saturday, December 17, and more information will be released then).

Everyone will also recieve an additional 5 Scales for  making a gift! 

GUIDELINES

  • We ask that you provide at least two options for your gift (either options for characters to draw, different design options, etc).
  • You do not have to participate using Shrimpshifter OCs or ask for Shrimpshifter designs, but we do encourage either those or humanoid designs since the species is such! 
  • If you provide the option for a feral or anthro character, whether for art or a design, please also include a humanoid option.
  • If you’re making art, we ask that you at least create a full-colour, finished halfbody to somewhat reciprocate the work within making a design. Please try your best to make a quality piece!
  • If you’re making a design, we ask that you at least create a full-colour fullbody. 
  • If you’re writing a literature, we ask that it is a minimum of 800 words.
  • Please do not back out! Once we draw names, it will be set in stone, and it will be disappointing if someone doesn’t get a gift :( You may be soft-blacklisted from events if you are not able to complete it.

Art preferred!

  • You can draw any of my shrirmpshifters! https://toyhou.se/Jellorat/characters/folder:3518210
  • The only idea I have is sexy shrimp man drawn like a magazine cover, but you can do whatever you want!
  • Please don't do a Christmas theme, tho you could do Hannukah if you feel like it
  • Both Dante and Kai's outfits are pretty flexible, so go wild

Writing Options (Optional)

  • The only characters I have for writing are these two
  • I'd love to see how they met in writing since I literally just can't
  • There's a little bit of an idea for how they met in Melvin's profile

  • Blood/Gore: no
  • Nudity or Suggestive Art: no nudity but suggestive art is fine for dante and sexy shrimp man
cloudyclouds

staplesquid

iinkt

Your Secret Santa would like to know if there are any specific outfits you’d like Marina drawn in!

staplesquid

Lemonmoth

What do you prefer? Art is prefered by i always like getting designs :]

Art options

Any of my Shrimpshifters or Anyone from here!

Literally any pose is fine lol.

Things being upbeat would be cool

Design Options

Humanoid only please!!

I really like weirdcore/internetcore-esk designs!!

I don't mind getting another shrimpshifter if you want to design one of them!

Preferences

Eyestrain: Yeah thats fine! Go Nuts if you want.

Blood/Gore: as long as its not too excessive thats fine.

Nudity/Suggestive: Absolutely not.
inkbled

I don't mind any of the options! I can only write for the SS, however.

Art Options (Required)

  • YAEL / AOKI / SYBIL / EIRNIN
  • HONESTLY, idk what to think of for poses and expressions. For Yael and Sybil, I'm think possibly magical / science scenario since both of them are magic. Aoki is a bit of a trickster but he also loves cute / fluffy things, especially baby animals.
  • I've always loved the idea of Eirnin and Ardyn (ffxv) because I have an idea where Eirnin is thrown into that world for a brief time, but this is only an option! Obviously, if FFXIV and FFXV aren't your forte, you can completely ignore this prompt.

Design Options (Optional)

  • I prefer androgynous or masc-leaning designs! I like male OCs to have a bit longer hair!
  • I really like characters that look a little like Ardyn from FFXV. If you can make a scruffy bastard look, it'd be perfect!
  • If you'd rather, you can draw a common Shrimpshifter that can be paired up with Yael! Maybe a masc-leaning one like mentioned above (the scruffy bastard look is always one that i am in love with).

Writing Options (Optional)

  • SEIKO / SKYE / AJ / XANDRA 
  • I love fluff, soft things, and gender euphoria options. Characters doing mundane tasks with someone they adore is also cool. If you think your OC would get along with mine, that's also an option! Honestly, I realize that not a lot of my OCs above have a personality thing in the art options section so if you're hesitant, the options above this bullet point are ones that have a built story; half of them are fandomless and the other half is in a fandom.
  • Again, this is only if you know FFXV and FFXIV, something between Eirnin and Ardyn would be awesome. (Or just Eirnin with Haurchefant).

Preferences (Recommended) (Y/N):

  • Eyestrain: I prefer if it wasn't a huge eyestrain!
  • Blood/Gore: Blood is fine, gore not so much.
  • Nudity or Suggestive Art: As long as you aren't a minor, I'm okay with this!!
