Alright! Submissions are officially closed! I’ll try to get to the participant shuffling tonight after work. If you have any further questions or want to make a last minute entry, as always, feel free to PM me with your inquiry!
 
The thread has been re-opened in case anyone wants to openly discuss things related to the event in a convenient way. The original post is available behind the spoiler below for archival purposes.
 
||Calling all artists!
 
“…a little event we organised in our regional brony group on facebook. Bunch of peoples drawing each other’s OC without knowing who’s drawing theirs. It’s really a fun little game!” >>1358491
 
Earlier today, I saw Bugplayer’s post on Tumblr and it caught my attention. That sounds like a lot of fun! So I thought, Why can’t we do that on Derpi?
 
So, here we are! The Derpibooru Community Art Trade!
 
Participation is very simple: If you would like to participate in the trade, make a post below containing at least one reference of your participating OC along with any details about him/her/it that you’d like the receiving artist to know (if there are any). After sufficient time has passed that it seems most people who are interested have signed up, I will close this thread and begin shuffling participants to see who will be drawing whose OC. Once everyone has been paired up and I’m certain none have been missed, I will PM everyone with the info on who they’re drawing!
 
Rules:  
  • All provided references and traded art must be safe rated by our site’s standards. This is an all-inclusive, family friendly event!  
  • All participants must be artists with a verified public link. This is a trade event, not a request thread, so for every input there must be an output. Everyone who posts their OC here to have it drawn must in return draw the OC they are charged with!  
  • Please at least colour your submission. It doesn’t have to be all-out gradients, cell shading or other intricate details, but every participant should be getting out what they’re putting in.  
  • While it does not have to be Derpibooru exclusive, all traded art must be uploaded on this site and appropriately tagged so that each participant may see their gift once it’s done.  
  • All submissions (not references!) should be tagged derpibooru community art trade so that we can easily see all the results of this event once they’re done! Note: This tag does not yet exist as there are currently no images to apply it to. The first person to finish and post their submission will create the tag.  
  • Traditional art should be scanned. If you do not have a scanner available to use, please try to take as clear of a picture as you can with the best camera and lighting available to you.  
  • No pony creator generated submissions!  
  • *Absolutely NO traces  
    *These rules are subject to be amended at any time during the submission process, so please refer to them before drawing and/or submitting your entry as to ensure that you are aware of any possible additions.
     
    Additional Notes:  
  • All artists and types of art are welcome! Whether you’re a digital or traditional artist, specialize in pony/anthro/human characters, no matter your level of experience or popularity, step right up! One of the most exciting things about this trade event is having no idea what your OC will look like until it’s done. It’s like a pony art Secret Santa!  
  • If you would like to participate but don’t yet have an artist badge or a reference of your OC, go ahead and post below saying that you’d like to participate so that you don’t miss out! Just try to get the issue taken care of as soon as possible and edit your post if necessary (ie. adding a reference or other information). If for some reason you are unable to edit your initial post, PM me with the title of this thread and whatever needs to be added; I’ll take care of it for you.  
  • You are only required to draw the character you are given, but you may go above and beyond if you wish. If you’d like to throw in scenery, another character, or have the character doing something in particular, go for it! Just make sure everything contained in the image is appropriate.  
  • Have fun, and no rush! This trade event is not a race or a timed test; feel free to take your time on your submission to ensure it’s up to your own standards. (Just make sure you don’t wait so long that you forget about it completely!)
     
    Please refer to my entry post below for an idea of how to present your reference(s) and such.
     
    If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the trade, the rules, etc. feel free to PM me about it! I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I hope this turns out to be good drawing practice and an enjoyable experience for everyone!||

is he alive?
Spoilers: I’ll be participating, as well!
 
This is my OC, Renard Prower. He’s a pegasus from Manehattan who moved to Ponyville after graduating to get away from the bustle of the big city. Enjoys reading, art, food and good company. Currently single, but ready to mingle. ;)
 
As you can see, he’s been depicted as both male and female before; I personally don’t mind which you decide to draw. Surprise me! ^^ (Fun fact: female!Ren goes by the name “Renée”)
 
Crappy, old full-body reference:  

 
Female face and manestyle reference:  

 
Interpretation by a friend with enlarged cutie mark reference:  

 
Interpretation by a friend, male but with longer manestyle:  

 
No, your reference post does not have to include a tacky eHarmony profile for your character. ;p I’m simply providing an example of the type of extra information you think the artist who receives your character might find useful in getting inspiration on how to draw him/her.

Well, let’s get this party started. This cheeky pone is Bittergreen:
 

 
She is a female earth pony herbalist with a special interest in poisonous plants. She is also a herbal tea enthusiast, but others are generally not that enthusiastic about trying out her brews. Gotta wonder why. It’s not like she’d ever actually poison anyone!
 
Other ponies are not quite so sure about that, and prefer to keep a healthy distance from her. This suits her fine, as she generally gets along better with plants than with other ponies, with the exception of her little sister Sweetleaf.
 
Her cutie mark is a nettle leaf. Can be interpreted as a symbol of her interest in nasty plants, as well as her prickly personality:

So no adult can be made in this? Aw well no biggie. XD I could use more art of my character Axl, he’s the one in the red hoodie here. Yeah I don’t have a pic where he’s alone so had to crop 2 of them. XD Just so you don’t draw his brother by mistake he’s in the red hoodie and has the darker fur. And yes, he’s a guy that just happens to resemble a girl.
 
Axl has a interesting past, he was found by Zecora as a infant and grew attached to her so quickly he wouldn’t leave her, when she did hand him over to other ponies he just ran away to refind her. Kids under the age of 1, they do just the craziest things. XD
 
So being raised by Zecora he knows how to brew potions and such, but after seeing Octave playing music he became interested in the violin (he can actually carry that). Btw when we get a tag for this can you tell me? Otherwise I’ll just miss it.

P.S what do you mean by using a scanner or a photo?
 
EDIT:Huh, you know Ren the more I look at your OC’s Cutie Mark the more I’m reminded of Sonic Heroes.

Alright Ren, Im interested.
 
My OC is a changeling with a bit of a dark past that is still currently in the works. The most that has been shown so far is that she was born a changeling, but after a bit of an… incident… she has taken on a new form and calls herself Onyx Penstroke. The form she takes on is of a female pegasus with a quill and scroll for a cutie mark, and she is often seen around with a pair of headphones. There will be a picture up soon of Onyx and Ren, (who has already seen the sketch ages ago, but I am so easily distracted…) so I will go ahead and mention that the two are friends. Onyx is trying to make up for her past as well as find herself, while still attempting to hide her true nature.
 
Note: I have other pictures of Onyx on here. I might put up one more soon though. Maybe two. Idk.

I feel like he wouldn’t choose me to do his OC, because we could do that at any time since we know each other. It would be far more interesting to see what interesting perspectives and styles other people have as far as this trade goes.

@Hguheyaughtnger  
Huh! I never would have guessed from the thumbnails, but upon closer inspection I can see it in the outlines. Still, what does that have to do with anything? It’s not as though you’re uploading crude, careless images (with a few special exceptions); you do quality work for the resources you have, and certainly good enough for this simple event. ^^
