Deadline has past! No more submissions please!
Hello everyone! Jonny Aleksey (creator of Jonny Web Series & The Valve Web Series) here. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season this December. If you're unaware I did two art event-type-things this year, and you can check out the galleries for them here:
Alternate Universes
Monster Mash (for Halloween)
Now as Valentine's Day approaches, it's time for another. This trade is similar to a Secret Santa, BUT WITH A TWIST! In the spirit of love, all participates will get (in secret) another participate's character. Then, you will draw your own character giving that character a valentine's gift (both should be in the image). Get it, YOUR character is their valentine! The gift can be anything from chocolates to flowers to world conquest. It's up to you.
*Your gift should be something they would like (hence the "'Likes" section)
*Though I drew a perfect romance above, that doesn't mean you have to. Your character or their's could react differently depending on their personalities. They could be sad. They could be angry. They could be snobbish. Most likely, they will be sarcastic. I suggest looking through their comics to get a good idea of who the character is and how they'd react. And keep your character in mind too. Maybe they hate giving gifts. They have to, of course. That's the law!
How to Sign Up!:
- Link to your Tapastic profile
- Link to your comic
- Post a reference image of what character you'd like to use (preferably in color)
- (Optional) Give a quick blurb of who your character is and what kinds of gifts they'd like.
Deadlines and where to send it:
Sign up deadline: January 22nd
Expect to get a private message of who you got sometime between January 23rd and 25th.
When you are done, please email it me at jonnyalekseywashere@gmail.com, or send me a link to it in dropbox at my Tapastic profile. If you send by email make sure to title it "Valentine's Day Secret Admire (your name)"
You will get your pictures on, when else? Valentine's Day! So try to send it to me before February 14th.
Update: If we end with an odd number of participates, I may need someone to do more then one image. If you're willing to do a second image for someone, please write so in your submission. Whoever is will have a "Cool for Doubling" under their list section. Please ignore this, as it's most for me, so I can remember.
Good luck to everyone involved and I'm sure your images will be...................lovely! (sorry)
The Lover's List:
1.)
Profile: CalConstantine
Her Comic: Sunweaver
Her Character: Callas Crioa
Likes:
Teeeeaaa
Dark Chocolate (70% and above)
Books on Occult or Arcane subjects - Down to straight bizarre books
Fond of practical concealable blades
Desert Prickly Poppys or Cliff Roses are her favorite flowers
Owls and desert dwelling creatures (Snakes, lizards, hawks, ect)
Traits:
Callas is a trickster and enjoys kicking dirt around. She can be serious when needed, but she is more apt to cause trouble to get out of a situation. Even if that is explosive. In Sunweaver she goes up against dangerous beings like Vampires on almost weekly basis. She's a Mage that is not afraid to get into a fight and get up close, and personal either.
Cool for Doubling

Her Character: Ramona von Frohneberg AKA Aru
Likes:
Likes tea and horse back riding, also absolutely loves video games.
Likes food, will eat basically anything edible. She especially likes sweets.
Likes dolls and plushies. Flowers as well (her favourite flowers is orchid).
Traits:
Aru's a very serious individual, she's royalty of Terverukin and acts like one. She doesn't speak more than necessary, comes across as quiet and cold most of the time. Almost never shows emotions. Considers it a matter of pride. Even if she's rich beyond your wildest dreams, she's not the spoiled rich brat. Not a huge fan of spending money more than necessary either.

Traits:
H'm a quiet loner who tends to overanalyze things and confuse people. He has a bad habit of being sarcastic and telling jokes about anything and everything. He draws a lot, reads a lot and spends way too much time online. He's shy and doesn't like talking... And tends to say too much when he does.

Likes:
Food, almost any kind. He especially loves ice cream but he's always excited and eager to try new foods that he's never experienced before. He's very much an animal person too, especially for his dog Shnee, though cats seem to be an exception to his love. Seems he had a bad experience with them.
Traits:
Rexerse is a little ditsy and overall just happy to be seeing the world. He gets overly eager for simple things and comes off as very optimistic (as well as ignorantly bliss).

Profile: Cielle
Her Comic: Reus
Her Character: Rei (References 1 and 2)
Likes:
Rei likes sweet things and bread. Baked goods are his favorite (to make and to eat)! His personality is a little complicated. He's kind of a smart ass, but he's got a heart of gold. Deep down he's lonely, but he doesn't trust people easily, so he hides behind a wall of sarcasm and somewhat patronizing amusement. His favorite color is purple.
Traits:
He is tallish (in the 5'11" to 6 ft range) and slender with black/very dark purple hair and golden eyes. Overall, he is not that interested in romance, but he does have a somewhat flirty personality (and boy does he use it to his advantage). He likes to do things in an unconventional way, and doesn't hold "rules" in high regard.
