Quarter Machine Trades

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 5:59 PM
:icondumpysaurus: is calling for quarter machine trades. COME JOIN US, AND IF YOU REMAIN UNCONVINCED MAYBE YOU SHOULD KEEP READING MAYBE YES.

How do you do a quarter machine trade? You trade handmade art in quarter machine capsules! Here are some steps:

1. Participants post a wishlist and/or set of hints, guidelines and interests that will help others decide what to make for them. Can be as specific or as open to interpretation as you like.

2. Contact somebody else who has posted a wishlist and ask if they would like to trade.

3. Go out and buy something from a quarter machine. Take the original toy out of the capsule and make something else to go in there, using your tradee's wishlist as a guide.

4. In keeping with the spirit of getting surprise loot from an actual quarter machine, it is recommended that you do not make specific requests. However, this is completely up to you. It's your trade!

5. Once your prizes are made, put them in their capsules and mail them to each other.

Guidelines:

DON'T BE LAZY. Put as much effort into your half as you would like the other person to put into theirs. Materials needn't be expensive, but they should be durable and your work should look nice. Treat your prize as an art piece.

Make sure that you are both working with the same size capsule (if this is important to you).

Be creative! Consider the quarter machine capsule as a form of presentation, not just a container.

Be sure to sign your work, and/or the capsule that you send it in.
*These should clearly be MODS. I.E, don't just paint a plastic kangaroo a new color--sand off its head and sculpt a new one, attach wings from a different toy, glue spines on its back and then paint the entire thing in stripes. Put your mark on it.


WEESH LEEST:

A WITCH LIST

Tue Aug 11, 2009, 9:36 AM
Dear :icontwinkle-stah:, this is a pretty swell and banging idea<3!

"Like a regular wish list on Amazon or whatever, except, it's a list of drawings you want but are too afraid to really ASK someone or commission.
"So it's an open request. If someone sees your idea and likes it, they can draw it for you. Ranging from the simple, to the vague, to the downright self-absorbed - but it's okay, because nobody HAS to draw them anyway, they just do so if they want:
"I.e:
-A drawing of an elephant
-A picture of -character's name here- in rainbow socks.
-Illustration of -this song-.
Etc.

"There's no RULES about this. The lists can be as short or as long as you like, but a general word about karma: if you get something drawn for you, maybe it'd be nice to return the favour, if you have the means & the time."

1. Um.
2. Draw one of my monsters
3. any monster
4. NO WAIT DRAW A KALDANE
5. Horrox/Hamilton being nagged by one of the Penitent
6. Actually, go back to number 2.
7. I'M notSORRY I'M REALLY BAD AT THIS GAME.

PS: DUUR got my dates mixed up. Got my finals on the 18, so all the requested arts will start getting posted on/after the 18. KISS KISS '3'

AAHhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sorry dudes, I got finals but after the 17 I'll start posting y'alls claimed arts from this thing

Who wants free drawings???

Thu Jun 25, 2009, 3:37 PM
I'm trying to loosen up artwise and get better at spontaneous artings, but I don't know what to draw. YOU SEE MY DILEMMA, DA? Hence the offer of free droorings : D!

The quality of each will probably vary from either a ballpoint drawing, a watercolor illo, or what basically amounts to a doodle in acrylic paint or ink. IT WILL BE A SURPLIES.

For now, I'm leaving 6 slots but I might open it up to 10 later. WHO KNOWS. The only thing I ask is that requests remain classy (so nothing explicit, AITE?)
1. Sfemonster (Mistress Moonphoenix and Jabberwocky King)
2. Katiemazie
3. Senosis (Senosis/Raven)
4. TheRast (BIRDMEN)
5. Lovemonger
6. Meuh-Raynd (Nerrenya)

Oh Dear

It has occured to me that I take my fictional worlds far too seriously. No shut up, they are real in my HART
