Hello! I just stumbled across this and I am curious if if art yuletide will happen this year? (Thank you, by the way, the mods who run these kinds of events are amazing)

Hi there, @shadow-ravin, I’m sorry about the long delay in reply.  I’ve been thinking it over the last few weeks, and I’m afraid that this year my life and schedule is just too busy for me to run this.  I should be able to run it next year, when work dials down.

Apologies to everyone who has participated in the past.  Hope you’ll still be interested next year!

(make sure to budget some time to filling this out!)

Schedule:

Form due by: Nov 23 (Black Friday) Get assignments by: Nov 26 Art due by: Dec 31

(having it slightly later means you have the time between Christmas and New Year’s to finish!)  More logistics deets at @artyuletide.

FAQs:

How much time does it take to learn about someone else’s minor fandom?

The recipient usually includes a lot of helpful links that allow you to get a quick sampling, so if you’re short on time, I’d say ~2 hours.  That said, part of the fun of Art Yuletide is learning about (or revisiting) an obscure thing, so if you get caught up in it.... who knows?  You might have a new favorite show or end up rereading all of Nancy Drew.

Why is the sign-up form so long?

It’s so that the person drawing your minor fandom has all the resources they need!  But yeah, depending on the fandom, it may take a while to collect the links.

Do I have to be a good artist?

What is Good Art, really?  ;)  Think about how happy you’d be to get a picture of your OC, or your super obscure fandom.  So it’s less about how “good” the art is and more about how thoughtful the art is.   That said, I suppose there’s a certain baseline of “eyes goes on face” that need to be met.  Here’s the artwork from 2017, 2016 , 2015 , 2014.

Can I join if I only write fic?

It’s art-centric, so the requests may be phrased as an image and not as a fic scene.  That said, there have been cool fic gifts.

What if I don’t want to receive fic?

I always check with the recipient first before assigning.

Hi! Just wondering if artyuletide will happen this year? Last year was so nice, finally an exchange for us who do not write fic :D

Hey there!  I’m gonna run it -- just give me a day or two to spruce up the sign up sheet and solidify a schedule.  :D!!

To: @jainas-art From: @literaryartisan Fandom: Lastman Notes: I really got sucked into this! I meant to skim the comic for references, instead I read everything that's in English and then binge watched the anime. I saw you kinda ship Tomie and H as they are later on in the comic (the part I can't read!) and thought I'd draw them interacting. (I hope Tomie still has blue hair as mayor.)

To: @twistedsinews From: @writingonapples Fandom: Lord of the Rings Notes: I love LotR and was immediately inspired by your comment about how there’s always Hope in the world, but also lurking things in the Deep Dark Places of the Earth. I wanted to try to show that spectrum (although I wasn’t quite sure how to draw Hope :P). Please enjoy this motley crew of creatures!

[artyuletide]

That’s the majority of them, folks!  There’s still a few pinch-hits pending, and some people who are posting later today.  <3 <3 <3  Happy New Year!

He’s beautiful. Head thrown back, the sun catching the line of his throat, I watch him and can’t suppress a smile.

“What?” he asks, when his half-lidded eyes catch mine.

“Nothing,” I say. “I like when you laugh.”

He slides his palm across the floorboard of the porch between us. “Hey,” he says quietly. “I like your laugh, too.”

I put my hand down next to his, just barely touching. “You want to take the truck out?”

“Sure,” he says. He pulls on the shoes he’d shucked off earlier, and I offer my hand.

He takes it.

I love him.

To: natalia_flandes From:  stormphrax Fandom: Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe Notes: I'm so glad you requested this book! It's been on my to-read pile for ages, and this finally kicked me into gear to read it. I loved it so much -- thanks for requesting it!

Gift for @ventisettestars for @artyuletide! :D

I checked out Okage, and I absolutely fell in love with it :’D It’s so wacky and I love the humor, and Stan’s banter with everyone is great! I drew you some Ari and Stan, hope you like it!

Happy New Year! :D

To: @elephantemos From: @kaaramel Fandom: Avalon Code Notes: Thank you for the recs, that was some very cool stuff! I ended up going with your Avalon Code prompt, but - is the smash-the-book-over-the-thing animation I found really how stuff gets recorded in the game? I went for something a little quieter and more contemplative, haha. I hope you enjoy it and wish you luck for 2018!

From: Secret Santa Rooster Fandom: Robin of Sherwood (1984)

Notes: I'm super sorry but I think I missed the feel of Marion's character! (I watched the first episode of the show and she easily is the highlight but there was a certain air I couldn't capture in the picture very well). I'm def watching more of the show though (even though robin stresses me out). Thanks for introducing me to it!

To: @lucyindiesky From: @closetextrovert Fandom: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Notes: Happy Yuletide! It took a while for me to figure out what to draw for this since I don’t do a lot of shippy art? Then I was watching The Last Jedi and realized that Poe would be 1000% the kind of guy who underdresses for cold weather as an excuse to share his BF’s scarf/coat/etc. Finn’s only complaining because he knows Poe will end up with a runny nose for the rest of the night.

Enjoy!
