Viking Art Trade
As the title implies I thought I would host an art trade! The rules and form will be below.
Here is my form:
Name: Angel Nerd
Drawing Strength: Portraits, cute animals,
Drawing Weakness: Weapons, Mechs, sometimes dudes, hands, boulder class dragons, nadders, buildings
Preferred Medium: Digital art or copics, depending on the piece
Special Request: N/A
Special Requests can be used to specify what you hope to recieve in an art trade.
Hello! When you say Viking art trade, are you referring to us forum users being the Vikings doing the art trades? Or do you mean this art trade is exclusive to only drawing each others vikings? ((I asked that last question because I am interested in this trade, but I don't have any viking ocs))

You do not need a viking OC to participate. You don't even need an OC. You could request an artist to draw/edit Stormfly in a volcano if you wanted to. (It doesnt even need to be HTTYD related) Although, if you request a dragon piece keep in mind that some artists are better at drawing/editing people than dragons and vice versa.
Love you sig!
Awesome! In that case, I'll be right back with my form! I've been needing an excuse to practice my art so this is a perfect opportunity for me! ^w^
Thank you! :)
Part of the reason why I created this art trade was to force myself to practice more, lol.
This'll be my first art trade! XD
Name: Aussie
Drawing Strength: Wings of Fire dragons
Drawing Weakness: Humans, monkeys, most animals expect horses (I won't do digital drawings as I'm still learning in that area)
Preferred Medium: HTTYD dragons, or any dragons at all.
Special Request: Skylar, my OC NightLight - ask me for more detail
My best drawings:
Thanks for entering! Proud to host your first art trade! After I randomize the entries, I will try to make sure people aren't paired incorrectly based on their strengths/weaknesses/preferences
I'm a little confused, but I think I got it XD (Is it like a secret santa like idea?)
Name: AMAZIEing, But just call me Maz :3
Drawing Strength: Humans, dragons, cats, I've been told I'm good at clothes design... although I'm not sure XD I can also make hybrids if so desired.
Drawing Weakness: Human headshot's (Like I can do them, I'm just still working on how I want them to look (Basically, I'm changing my face style right now XD) Deathgrippers, sandwraiths, lightfurys, and anything with a gothic/bone style (A little bit is alright)
Preferred Medium: Ummm either works :) (and by either I mean digital (Sketchbook) or traditional)
Special Request: I'm still a little confused by this one...
I just picked a few with different styles and platforms.
Traditonal:
MS Paint
(I'm just going to link these, being as they are not very good, and take up space)
https://postimg.cc/Bj1ynsv0 https://postimg.cc/bD0mLhDS https://postimg.cc/67947DYT
Sketchbook (This is the newest platform I got, so I'm still working on it :3
Thanks for joining! Sorry about the wording, I had a difficult time wording it correctly. Also, hello guild mate!
Special Request is what you would ask for in the art trade, for example:
"Special Request: I would want my titan stormcutter, in traditional art" or "My viking OC"
This helps me to match artists with the right recipient. If you are flexible, or would rather wait until you see who is working on your art to make your request, please put N/A or IDK.
Ah! Okay! Thanks! :D
I have a few OC's I'd like drawn, (Male and Female) But I also have one or two dragons that people could pick from if they want. :3 So I guess for the most part, N/A
Okay cool!
So I heard you don't want to do dragon's, yeah?
Here's some of my OC's (Although, would you want to try drawing one with a cloak? That would be able to hide their faces... IDK just a thought I had. :3
Cutt

Well tell me if these all seem to hard, otherwise, hope one of these look fun :3
I've been, eyeing June. Her outfit looks really fun to draw, I like those boots :o
Hmm, I've been needing face practice. So I'll probably try my hand at drawing her a face if that's alright. Although if you'd prefer the cloak covering the face I can do that too, since I do need cloak practice as well AND like you said I would be able to hide the abomination of the faces I draw XD.
Cool! Art trade secret Santa thing XD
*My brain screaming for me to chill on doing art requests* In totally signing up! Just give me a bit to fill the form :3
Great! I love your sig so much!

Edit: It took me way longer than expected because my computer had Wi-Fi issues. Got it fixed though!

This one is to show her head markings. I lot of artists made them connected together but they're not, so here! ^^

Save me a spot please!
EDIT: Ok. Before you do. I want you to tell me if you want me to make something for you or not. Here is some examples of my work.
But I am gonna be completely forthright with you.
A lot of my art is this almagamation of photoshop and drawing. I will take photos from all over the place, stitch them together like some kind of Fraknenstien then re-skin, re-draw, and re-colour them to become one cohesive unit. Yes, I draw them, but they are TECHNICALLY photoshopped. And I don't want to claim complete credit. I wiull re-use assets from previous drawings and I do so frequently.
Because of this, I cannot draw characters in super dynamic poses unless they are wearing something skin-tight because I do not understand the physics of fabric. Furthermore, I do my best work when I am designing an outfit. Really, that is where my pasisons lay.
I am not the best at drawing an outfit that has already been designed. I like making my own. So if you have a character who you would like to be designed (especially if they need costuming) then I am your gal!
However, I do understand why you would not want my Frankenstien photoshop creatures lol. It is why I do not take art requests because it feels wrong. You know? But I will do private drawings for friends or family for character reference ONLY. So... yeah... that's my spiel.
I love it! Editing is fine, as long as you are capable of creating a piece based off a request. On March 6th, I will post the pairings. For examble, A is creating something for C, C is creating something for B, and B is creating something for A. Also, I can't really draw dynamic poses well, so I prefer static poses, like in my art samples.
Alright.
and yeah. I can do requests. I have in the past for friends. All of the drawings I posted were requests.
Are you using a random generator for the pairings or are you pairing people off in categories such drawing style, skill, preferred medium, etc or something similiar?
I am doing a random name generator, but I am putting in restrictions so someone who can't draw dragons get a request of a dragon. That is what the "Special Request" is for, what you would ask for in the art trade, (like your human OC, or a pic of your favorite dragon) that way it is easy for everyone.
Okay
Name: Wolf And Star
Drawing Strength: Costume and character design! Honestly the more vague of a character idea, the better. As long as the personality is strong, I can go pretty much without any kind of reference. Just need a basic description!
Drawing Weakness: Males (I can draw them but I'm not good), dynamic poses, super complicated costumes that already have a reference. I am not good at copying the same design to a different pose because ~fabric physics~
Preferred Medium: Digital
Special Request: I would want one of my Human Characters drawn. I have not quite figured out who, can I wait to see who I get first? Because I have both male and female characters who need to be drawn and depending on the strengths of the person who I get, I can give them a request that will be easiest for them. A simple bust and/or headshot will also be great! I don't care much.
Examples of my art are pictured in my post above. I do not want to clutter the page with too many pictures.
Finally I got my compoot XDD
Name: Toothless (y'all can call me Toothy)
Drawing Strength: Anything animalistic, monsters, feral animals, dragons and anthros/furries but i'm willing to do new things :D
Drawing Weakness: humans (I can do them but not well) hands/some paws, leggies and feets
Preferred Medium: my Ipad XD but I can do traditional if you really want me to XD
Special Request: I'd like art for any OCs from here is greatly appreciated :3 but you don't have to if you don't want to...
examples:
Question, is Corbon, Damon, and Violet Aja and Steve's kids? Thank's for filling out the form.
XD yass you watch it! But sadly no, they broke up in order for my plot to work out XD
Yes, I really liked the show, I think Trollhunters was my favorite part of the trilogy, but I'm looking forward to Rise of the Titans!
Yass Trollhunters was the best, while I liked Wizards I just wasn't a fan of the ending (I wanted him to d.ie to be honest) XD but yess! Rise of Titans got me hyped!
I liked the series so much I started writing an alternate timeline of the Arcadia series XD so that's who all those peeps are XD
Who should have d.ied? Sorry, it's been a while since I watched it and I was too focused on the cute dragon cat.
Jim... he should have d.ied in my opinion XDD
Same! Archie was the best part in the entire thing hands down XDD
I made the match ups, I tried to match people based off their drawing strengths/weaknesses and the others' requests. Comment if you want it changed or have a question.
A > B - Means A draws/edits a piece requested by B
Angel Nerd > Toothless
Aussie > Drava
AMAZIEing > ParakeetAndine
Anic > AMAZIEing
Dylieh > Luna
Flitt > Wolf and Star
ParakeetAndine > Anic
Wolf and Star > Angel Nerd
Luna > Flitt
Toothless > Dylieh
Drava > Aussie
Please try to post your requests soon so that the artists can start working.
*Please don't respond to this comment so that I can edit it if needed*
Since I never participated to a (Secret Santa?), do I post the finished request here? Or do I sent it in PM? :'D
I was planning on having the participants post the finished request if they are comfortable with that. If not thats fine. I just thought it would be fun to see what everyone made.
But if you do decide to post it, mention who you did it for, and the name of the character you drew for them.
Alright! Just asking ^^
i'll put the finished request once I get back on my PC.
Done!
Total elasped time: 7 Hours.
Birdlady for Angelnerd lol. She majestic, yes she is.
Thank you again! I love her, I'm thinking of naming her Miku, which means sky, beautiful, and long time, what do you think?
Ooh. I love that for her. Miku.
Done! :D
Sprukket for Flitt! Hope you like it! ^^
(I'll post it soon on my dA for better quality.)
Edit: I accidentaly drew Andy's Windclaw thinking it was Flitt's. Let's just say it's a bonus but for AndreaEaston xD
Curious people, here's the drawing!
ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Brain said green, glowing, sea dragon. So I did that XD
For DyliehIdol... Hope you like :D
