The registration period for this event has officially closed!
here is a list of all participating users and their points available to takeHow this is going to work:
Please make sure you read through all of the points, and have understanding of what's expected from this event. Below is a repost of the point chart. This applies to both digital AND traditional art. However,
if you are doing traditional art each piece must be shaded. Only because traditional pieces are generally a bit easier than digital art, and do a little more effort will have to be put into them.
You are no longer to edit your forms. No additional entries will be allowed, nor will you be able to switch viscets out from here on.For this round, please do not go all out!
You will have a chance to go all out for points in later rounds, but because the first found is so small, please leave points for other people to claim! This being said, please try to only gift one or two people, capping yourself out at 5-10 gained points.

New for 2017!
Art can be animated as well! They do not count as an individual score, but rather act as an add-on. An example would be clean headshot + color (3 points) + eye blink animation (+2 points) = 7 points.
+2 points for simple animation (2-5 simple frames. blink, ear flick, head bob, exc. Includes background objects.)
+5 points complex animation (6-10+ separate frames. tail waving, walking, exc. Includes background objects.)
✦
The first round will work a bit differently.The first round will start everyone with 10 points. Yes, that is a small number of points. But in the first round, everyone must accumulate at least 5 points. This is to ensure that everyone entered is doing their part and not just in it for free gifts.
✦
No claiming spotsLike mentioned in the rules, you may not claim a spot, such as: "I am doing a fullbody (5 points) for SilverSamurai, so nobody take her points!" is not allowed, simply because many people will not check who claimed what, and to prevent people from making false claims.
✦
Points (going over your limit/user in negatives)-Each user participating in this event (who has posted a form) is requited to gain a minimum of 5 points in this first round. Yes, you can go over, but please be considerate to other users in this round. Being a small round, there are not a lot of points to go around to everyone, and we want to ensure everyone have a fair chance at getting their initial points.
-A user's gifted total can go in the negatives by accident! If someone gifts the user you did art for before you could send it, that is ok. Still deliver it to them and refer to the rules on the front page for how the points will be disbursed. However, please don't purposefully gift someone a fullbody (5 points) if they only have 1-2 points remaining.
✦
Art quality and ordering art-The art/story requirements are on the first post, please try to stick to them. Keep in mind that a fullbody will be counted as a sketch if it does not meet the requirements, only to make sure everything is assigned proper points (no cheating)
- Ordering art is fine if you want to! But keep in mind that these will be relatively fast rounds, so ordered art/commissions would have to be done quickly.
✦ Kinds of art allowed
As previously stated, you may not use previously made line-arts or make a line-art for this event. In short, all art must be original each time. If you make a line art and try to send it out, only the first time you send it will it be counted for points.
✦ Sending art/writing
Use the form provided on the front page when sending all art to the user for delivery and to SilverSamurai for judging/point awarding. When you send the message, be sure to send the message to both who it's for and SilverSamurai.
- When I have time, I will respond to the message with a +# - total, stating how many points you have gained from the art you sent as well as your current total.
- Don't see your totals updated on the thread? Give it a day or two. I am very busy at the moment and there will be a lot of numbers going on for me. Don't worry, it will be updated soon.
✦ Who do I send art to?
Anyone who has entered this event! You can find the list of participating users here, as well as how many points they have totaled and how many gifted points they have remaining. Try to gift users with a higher gifted total remaining, as they have more points available to claim/take and also have not been gifted as much.
✦ When the first round ends.
- The first round will end once each user has reached at least 5 points, or in 7 days (December 4th).
- Those who have not reached 5 points or more at this time on the 4th will be taken out of the event, and may not continue to receive art in following rounds.
- After the initial round, users will have their gifted totals refreshed and brought up to 25, and it will become a free-for-all. But still try to be considerate with how many points you are taking, other users can only do art at certain times of the day/week!
Gifting will now!Good luck everyone, and have fun! I shouldn't need to say this, but remember to be kind and respectful to one another during this event, and no harshness or bullying will be tolerated during this event.
I reserve the right to subtract points if I see this happening.- If anything comes up, I will not hesitate to address any problems directly with the rest of the staff. Regular CS and Viscet species rules still apply.
Of course, if anyone has any questions about anything, feel free to PM me!
________________________
As stated in the rules, if you have made art in the last few days to stock up and send out within the next hour or two, I will not be counting them. It is considered cheating.
- Sketches, headshots, exc. don't take as long as a full body or pixel, so i understand if those are sent out relatively soon, but if you send out 3-4 full bodies within a few minutes, I will take actions and consult the person about it.
If you are caught tracing during this event, (Stock images, other users' art, exc.)
you will be removed from the event and reported. Seriously, art theft is no joke and should not be taken lightly. If you need help with some references or poses, the
Viscet Reference Repository is a great place to start, just make sure it's not traced or directly copied.
To send out art:
As posted on the first page, I will repost it here for convenience. Below is the form you should send to both myself and to the user you are gifting, with the PM titled "Winter of Giving - Art for: USERNAME"
