🐼 Buddy Card Trading 🐼

[CastleQueen5]

Hey, I found you because of the Art a thon buddy card coming up.

I can do the mixed media group. I don't do hand drawing at all.

So add me please.

See you in the art a thon,

Which Medium Group do you prefer? MM
What kind of theme/subject are you interested in? Can be broad or narrowed If you know me, I like cats, zebraz, tea, coffee, trees birds, flowers, sunflowers, dachshunds, Funny, Quirky. Do you prefer certain colors? No not really, I like them all. Green is my favorite.
Are you okay with working on cards that require you to "fill in" blank subjects? EXAMPLE: empty notebook/sketchbook, a building that you would determine the colors and purpose of, an empty cabinet, etc I am fine with most ideas. I do like a challenge or something to help me think outside my box.

Pretty much anything goes but what I am not interested in is dark, scary, horror, nudes, political.

Do you prefer certain colors?
I love lots of color!

All right - I'll send the Vintage Bee Set over to you then! I'll wait for the marathon to finish in case you want another set from me from there.

Would you please sign me up for the mixed media/collage group?

Please sign me up to the HD/HP group I'm not sure I'll have time to play in the athon, but I will definitely be checking out the starters!

Which Medium Group do you prefer? HD/HP only
What kind of theme/subject are you interested in? open, check my profile if you need ideas
Do you prefer certain colors? nope
Are you okay with working on cards that require you to "fill in" blank subjects? sure, as long as it's this artist's choice

[Beverley]

Thanks for the invitation... this is very new to me. Not sure if I will participate in the A-thon this time.... need to learn more about it. Will follow along though

[ChronicReader]

I would love to participate in both collage and hdhp.

General question to see the type of cards that we all can make. If you answer these questions it'll help everyone determine what kind of starter cards we can all work on...
I plan to use these answers to make some sets in the next few weeks so make sure you get your answers in.

1. Which Medium Group do you prefer? HD/HP/MM
2. What kind of theme/subject are you interested in? Can be broad or narrowed
3. Do you prefer certain colors?
4. Are you okay with working on cards that require you to "fill in" blank subjects? EXAMPLE: empty notebook/sketchbook, a building that you would determine the oclors and purpose of, an empty cabinet, etc

I prefer the mixed media group.
I'm interested in animals, zetti, steampunk, collage, postage stamps
I like all colors
I'm fine with fill in

[dithespy]

Are these OK? All are collage, 2 with postage stamps. Have I done enough? Or too much?

Sounds awesome to me! Glad to have you here in the regular thread!

That sounds good to me. If you subscribe to the a-thon then you can see what all we would be doing there. Meanwhile this thread is pretty simple:
either you start 2 identical cards or finish them for someone
- to start cards just make 2 identical ATCs (as close as you can get them to look like each other) and post them here
- to finish just look in the thread to see if we have any available sets and let the artist know you want to finish them (you'll exchange addresses by PM)

That was my "quick summary" as I know the first post is a little over bearing to look at >w<

Those are PERFECT! As the first artist you really get to decide how much work to put in. You can leave them as is or even add more on there if you wanted to.
Though if you could: post them to the a-thon thread as well for everyone there to see?

[ParadoxSketchbook]

I should have thought of this sooner... we need a way to make it quick and easy to see what sets are available in this thread. So this is what is happening now to make that possible:

இ In post 2 of this thread I am going to remove the examples:
Instead I'll work on making a guide that discusses "Starter Sets" and even the whole concept of this thread. This is so that the second post is not so long from the images.
In summary you'll see possibly 2 links that should lead to a new tab with the examples and guide.
இ Post 2 shall serve as a tracker from here on so it is going to have the following details in it:

• Guide to "Buddy Cards" and "Starter Sets"
• List of "Official Players" in two lists (HD/HP and MM) - now with your details added in for what themes you like and which ones you do not
• List of available Starter Sets - direct links to posts made by the actual artists in this thread.

***This means you would be responsible for letting us know if a set you posted is now not available - pretty please!

Don't forget that the a-thon is live and kicking.
