The Giftober's Rules!
a year ago
Welcome to the rules and guidelines of...
The Giftober!!
Here you'll learn everything that there is to know about the project, the rules, the tendencies and how it all works! ;3
Introduction
Let's begin by telling you how it is. The Giftober is an Inktober project that aims for daily uploads during the month of October. The theme is exclusively characters owned by other people portrayed in a consistent manner and theming across the project.
All entries are grayscaled, unshaded pieces. And they also fall under several rules while under this project. And speaking of them, let's talk about them now!
Rules
The Giftober has several hard-set rules that cannot and will not be broken under any circumstances. Here they are:
1. Characters CANNOT appear in The Giftober more than once. That goes for all future Giftobers as well. This rule is absolute.
2. Characters must not break the restrictions of my Content Disclaimer.
3. Characters are to be portrayed in the current theming (i.e. laying on a bed, on a stripper pole, etc.) of the project, which changes each year.
4. There are ONLY TWO WAYS for a character to be portrayed in The Giftober, which will be explained below...
How to Enter
The Giftober's methods of entering are as follow:
1. I will approach a potential candidate with a proposal while requesting permission to draw their character. Should they accept it or not is up to them and what that entails to will be discussed below.
2. An Auction will be held during the month of August in order to determine five potential extra candidates to be featured in the project. The rules stated above are still maintained. The specific details of the auction will be clarified on its own, dedicated journal.
There are no other possible methods of entry! Please do not request or recommend characters to be featured.
The Blacklist
Now, every once in a while, I am unable to acquire permission to draw a character, either because my request was denied or simply wasn't returned. For instances like these, I have created a Blacklist to mitigate expectations and also as a guide for other potential artists to educate themselves in who they can gift art to.
For a list of people that have not returned my request, click here!
These people have failed to respond in the span of Two Weeks or more. It is not advisable to contact these people as a timely response is unlikely.
They are NOT banned from The Giftober! At least not until a Second Call is made, which if not responded, will result in a permanent ban.
For a list of people that have denied my request, click here!
These people have, for varied reasons, denied me permission to draw their character. Do not attempt to give giftart to these people, as they'd be unlikely to grant you permission to do so.
They are BANNED from The Giftober! Do not contact or message them about this matter! I have personally assured them that they wouldn't be bothered by this issue ever again!
List of Giftobers
If you are curious about the previous Giftobers, you can see all the entries that were made in the past! All sorted out into galleries for your own convenience! ;3

And What Happens Now?
Now, it's open season! I'll be sending messages to potential candidates in regards to this project and if I have permission to draw their character! I'll be doing this over the course of the year so I have everything ready by October, which I plan to have Daily Uploads!
If you're a supporter of mine, sit tight and let Anna do her thing! ;3
If you're interested in starring your character in The Giftober, wait until August for more information! :3
And if you're a neither of the above... Well, I thank you for reading all that! Props to you, my friend! X3
See you all soon!
