Why is everyone so short?

So I wasn't 100% certain where I should post something like this, but I figured off-topic is general enough. I joined LoTC on October 24th, 2012. As it is now 2017 I thought I should address and acknowledge the influence this has had on my life. Although I don't often get on to RP anymore, I still am on the forums daily (graphics subforum is my homeland). As I was scrolling through the forum I was wondering about my old skin/art threads; "Cutepiggy's Skin Shop", "Minie's Skin and Sketch Art Emporium", and "Gilly's Quality Art" (way to flatter yourself there). As I was looking at my old awful awful art I was thinking that without LoTC and all the people wanting free art, I would 100% not be at where I am today. I turn 17 this year and i'm fairly quickly approaching the time to start looking into colleges, and I know that i'd like to be a concept artist and illustrator. I think that if I hadn't found LoTC, hadn't gotten whitelisted, and hadn't met the other great artists in this community I wouldn't have decided to be an artist. While that may be a far stretch, I think it's true. The other artists on LoTC are the biggest influence to me. Keem (@Kim) was the first artist I came across on LoTC, and is still a huge inspiration and motivation to me. She's so so talented, and being my competitive self it drove me to want to be as good or better. Since then I've come across other of LoTC's artists like Nummy, Desires, Cave_Creature, Trinn, among many others. All of them have had the same influences on me and I thank you all, because even if we've never had much of an interaction you've been a big inspiration to me. I'd also like to thank all of the people who have commissioned me or requested art from me over the years. Especially Liri who commissioned me enough that I could buy a new drawing tablet (which still stands strong today). Though everyone has been helpful to me. I've gotten a lot of practice through doing requests, and with my commission earnings I've been able to buy many art tutorials from my favorite professional artists which I believe have helped me tremendously. While I've improved greatly, I've still got a painfully long way to go. As of today I'm taking my school's provided art classes as well as an independent study. In my free time i'm working on commissions, doing studies and everything I can to continue improving my art. So I hope that you all continue to support me, keep being great artists, or at least just don't insult me. I'll do my best to give back. //salute And for you viewing pleasure, here's a little timeline of my art from when i'd joined LoTC to today (well, a couple days ago). (Images in order of year and creation) 2014 (Minie's Skin and Sketch Emporium) The year of requests. Very late 2014 -2015 (Gilly's Quality Shop) The year of slightly better requests and I opened commissions. 2016 (big images) The year of commissions and very few requests. 2017 More art here

Assigning Santas today!

Man I was twelve when I joined LoTC. What a throwback.

After sign ups end. So around the 12/13th

If its gotten though my filter, then that's their personal problem. The thing is about S.S is that you may give 'fantastic' gifts, but that doesn't mean you necessarily will get one, but its the thought that counts.

Typically you should aim for things off of the person you're assigned too's wishlist, but don't feel limited by that. Feel free to be creative, just not lazy! sobs Sky i'm so sorry Thats why its important for people to give gifts if they accept to. It's a reAL pain in the butt to find replacements or make them. If you really can't decide, you're able to put "Anything" or just state things you definitely DON'T want. Don't feel limited by the wishlist! It's only a WISH list, not a requirement. Get as creative as you want, just don't give lazy gifts. Typically gifts are sent to me in some way, so I can confirm that the person is indeed getting a gift. The best way to be sure is to have them sent to me, and then I'll send them to the person. Although gifts can be IRL gifts, if they can be confirmed and the receiver is comfortable with giving their address (which I would ask for on request) You can make a book full of memes if you want, just don't give it as a gift. Unless the person really wants it, and likely would be more acceptable if it was a literal printed book.

I saw that The Beast mod Orodreth made a post about their Christmas Art Sale, and I though OH HECK what a GOOD idea. I've had mine on sale for some time now, but only advertised them in statuses, so I hope this is more efficient. If you find my prices still too expensive even with the sale prices, PLEASE go give your money to Orodreth because I feel bad for posting mine at the same time.

The 20% off is subtracted from total order price)

O boi there she is

You don't need money, really. I mean I would be willing to make small sketches for free for this event.
