FAQ

Important Points About Signing Up

• The Set List has now been created. Please specify what your preference is for any umbrella fandoms that have many sub-categories. This will help your gift-giver know what to draw for you.
  Example 1:
  Star Trek (The Next Generation and Deep Space 9)
  
  Example 2:
  Marvel Comics (Iron Man movie, Runaways, Generation-X, Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon)
  
  Example 3:
  Music RPF (The Beatles, U2)


• For ALL fandoms, please spell out the fandom name rather than using acronyms! THIS INCLUDES BAND NAMES.


• Additionally, remember that the more information you can give in your "special requests" section, the better. This is where you would designate specific characters, ships, etc. More info helps us make more appropriate assignments.


• Remember that Yuletart is about the joy of creating art together, not about who is "best" or "most perfect." You should not only be able to put forth your very best effort, but be able to appreciate the effort of others regardless of their level of skill. We know that "effort" is a very subjective concept, so for our purposes we're defining it as an art or craft that has gone through at least one rough draft, gotten objective advice from a third party, and then edited into a final, more polished work. (Note: Mom and Dad probably aren't going to be objective about your art. If you can't find an objective beta, try artbeta. The artists there are patient, generous and willing to work with all skill levels. You can even ask for one-on-one help via email.)

***Giftart FOR You- The art you'd like to receive***

AT LEAST 3 fandoms from the Set List: The Omen I, II, and II, the Sabriel Series, American Gods, Shakespeare, Futurama, Labyrinth, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters (movie or cartoon), Harry Potter (books), The Addams Family, Back to the Future, Bleach, Death Note.

"Wildcard" fandoms : NCIS!!!! Jurassic Park, Alien (movies), Kuroshitsuji (anime), Petshop of Horrors (anime and manga), Outlaw Star (anime), David Bowie

What is the highest rating of art you would like to get? PG-13 sex wise, R blood, violence, gore wise

Specific requests: NCIS is my favourite right now, but the rest are equal in my eyes, no particular favourites. I love Gibbs, Tony, Timothy, Ziva, and Vance most (the characters later in the series as opposed to the early characters that have left or died). I like Horus best from American Gods. Labyrinth-Jareth and Sarah. Harry Potter-in no particular order, Ron, Draco and his gang, Snape and Slytherins in general, Hermione, Percy, Lucius, Harry, Dumbledore, Blaise, Tom Riddle+snakes are the characters I enjoy most, but anything is fine (Ron/Draco shipper). Petshop of Horrors-Count D and Leon. Outlaw Star-Fred Luo and Gene Starwind. Bleach-Yumichika and Ikkaku, rest of the 11th Division, Renji, Matsumoto, Shuuhei, Byakuya, Kyoraku, Urahara. Kuroshitsuji-love Ciel and all the main characters plus Grell and Lau. Deathnote-all the cops, Light, L. I love everybody and everything in Jurassic Park as well as Futurama, the Omen, Shakespeare, Indiana Jones, Addams Family, Back to the Future, Alien and Ghostbusters. I'm fine with romance for all fandoms of any and all orientations and pairings (except Harry/Ginny) if you enjoy drawing it, but it ain't necessary. I don't mind canon things (except Harry/Ginny) and I don't mind kooky out of character crazy things either. It's all up to you and what you think will be fun for you to do, that's the most important thing to me. :)

Confirmed, thank you!

I also would LOVE to get Naruto art if it's Gai/Kakashi friendship or romantic or rivalry art. I just adore their interactions. And I also wouldn't mind Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein or any other Mel Brooks art. Or classic Dracula or other monster movie art. Or Alfred Hitchcock movie art. I love Psycho and The Birds as well as most everything else of his. And historical figures or scenes from history, whether factual or humorous or whatever, any scene, any figure your choice. Even if I don't know it I can look it up and learn something new. That goes for Mythology as well. And I LOVE dinosaurs anytime, anywhere, even out of context. Dinosaurs trump all. Those are always fun and easy to draw if you get stuck. :D

Just more options for you if you aren't inspired by any of the above. :)
