November 1, 2013: I've completed everything in the normal art trade slots! Unfortunately, school's throwing a lot of work at me with the finals coming and all, so I will have to close art trades for the time being. I think I'll be reopen them late November or early December. We'll see!
December 12, 2013: Yay, my term's finally over and break has begun! I've opened up three (3) art trade slots. Grab 'em while you can, but please follow directions stated in the Procedures and Disclaimers section. Good luck!
December 13, 2013: Okay whoops I should have updated this hours ago. The slots got filled up early this morning, and I was away from the computer until just now! X_X I didn't expect to get so many people wanting to do trades with me. I feel bad turning down stragglers, so I'm going to all six trade requests, but no more until I complete all of them!
January 10, 2014: Term's going to start next Monday. I completed 5 out of the 7 art trades (Don't worry, ASGeek2012 and ObliviousHam, I'll get to yours!), and 1.5 out of 2 Character Commissions. I won't be taking any more art trades for a while, but once the current commission is done, I'll be opening maybe one or two slots for commissions. For more info about commissions, go here. Also, I have some new information in the Procedures and Disclaimers section below.
January 28, 2014: Quick update. Here's a WIP of my trade with ObliviousHam! I have some progress on ASGeek2012's trade, but I want to make it more presentable before I post it here!
February 3, 2014: Finished ObliviousHam's trade and working on ASGeek2012's. I'll try to put a WIP shot up soon!
February 28, 2014: A bit late, but as promised (if you haven't seen it already), a WIP of my trade with :devasgeek2012.
April 23, 2014: All art trades are complete! However, I am still waiting for a person to complete his/her half of a trade, so as per my policy, a new batch of trades will not be open until it is done. In all likelihood, I shall be too busy this summer to do art trades at all, but I wanted to give an update after nearly two months of silence on my end!
Completed Art Trades:
Procedure and Disclaimers:

DA Name*

Character Bio - Try to keep this to 5 sentences or less. Just something to give me the gist of what your character's about.

Reference and Descriptions* - Please provide specific links! Don't just refer me to your dA or Tumblr gallery.

I will choose a Journey OC of my own for you to draw. You can find information about them in the My Characters section below.
I will add you to the slot list only after this information exchange is made. I do not wait list or make reservations on the slot list - it is first come, first serve. I will try to make it convenient for you; whenever a slot opens up, I will edit this journal entry so it will pop up in your inbox.

The order which I finish the art trade may vary from the slot list. This does not necessarily mean that I favor one person over another; some requests take a longer time to complete, and may have to be completed when I have more free time.
Following that vein, the level of finish for each drawing may vary as well. I will try my best to keep them at a consistent quality, but I'm throwing a disclaimer out there just in case!
I am acting on good faith that the people I am trading with will eventually complete their half of the trade, be it a week or even a few months. If this trust is breached, all art trades, excluding the ones where the other individual has either (1) completed their half of the trade or (2) show recent evidence of progress on their half, will be cancelled.
**NEW** I will not begin a new set of art trades until the individuals occupying the current slots fulfill their end of the trade.
Refer to the FAQ below if you have any questions!
FAQ
Who are you willing to trade with?
Anyone who is an artist in the Journey community is welcome to trade with me. I accept trades from artists from all levels, as long as they put effort into it. I put a lot of effort into creating these drawings, so I ask you to do the same.
What kind of stuff do you accept in exchange?
Good question! At the moment, the good majority of the trades were just drawing for drawing, but I am totally open to accepting wayfarer plushes or scarves (I'm looking at you, ASGeek2012 and LaSpliten *wink wink!*) as well! If you want to do the latter kind of art trade though, let me know in advance otherwise I'll assume it's going to be a drawing-for-drawing trade.
What content are you willing to draw?
As the title suggests, I will be drawing your Journey character, though I have a few caveats. Requests for sexually explicit or excessively violent content will be declined. Suggestive content, however, is negotiable.
What are your tools of the trade?
My beginning sketches can be either traditional or digital. At the painting stage, I always use Photoshop CS6 on a Wacom Intuos5 tablet.
How long does it take to each art trade?
I don't want to give myself a solid deadline, but I can generally finish one art trade every 1-2 weeks.
I don't want to give myself a solid deadline, but I can generally finish one art trade every 1-2 weeks.
When exactly do you reopen the slots?
Excluding long-term project trades, I will reopen slots once I finish all of the trades filling up the current slot list. However, if I am in the middle of class and am unable to complete trades at the time, I will announce that they're closed for the time being.
If I already sent you an email but didn't make it on the slot list, will I have to resend the information when they open up again?
Nope! Just forward me the message you sent previously. I'll look through the thread and find the information I need.
Nope! Just forward me the message you sent previously. I'll look through the thread and find the information I need.
I changed my mind! Can you draw another character instead?
It depends. If it is already in progress, then no. If I haven't started on it, then yes! But make sure to send me all the relevant information via email.
Do you take art requests?
No, not anymore. Personally, I believe that when you're given something, even if it's a gift, you should reciprocate and give something in exchange. I could also go into the long-winded conversation of how artists are underselling themselves, but I'll leave it at that.
I already did an art trade with you. Can we do another one?
Yes, but people who haven't had the chance to trade with me will have priority. Alternatively, you can commission me! (:
Can you do art trades for non-Journey stuff?
As implied in the journal's title, no. I you really want me to draw something else, then refer to my commissions page for more information.
Am I allowed to share this image outside of Tumblr and DeviantArt?
Hmm... depends where you're sharing it. Shoot me a note and we'll talk. Though as a rule of thumb, you should always source back to the OP on dA or Tumblr if you do so!
My Character Bios
The Historian
Melancholic | Haunted | Slightly Schizophrenic
As her name suggests, she's basically a walking history book. Her kind collects the memories of the fallen to piece together of their society's history. The collective memories of each "chapter" are then transferred to the meditation stone. She was the unfortunate survivor forced record the post-war events, and basically watch her civilization crumble to dust. Her shrine (the one you see at the hub level) was destroyed. So imagine if you will how the whispers of a thousand ghosts, all of who have met gruesome ends, would affect her mind after eons of solitude.
The Fledgling
The Fledgling
Inquisitive | Naive | Dependent
A long time ago, all of the glyphs which kept the world warm were squandered away, and a great ice age wiped out the remainder of the war-torn civilization. Eons later, life is trying to once again make its place in this desolate landscape. A few starlings fall from the sky. But it is too early and too cold. Like dying candles, they quickly wither away in the blizzards. They never even set eyes on the mountain, because it is obscured by thick clouds.
Unlike her predecessors, the first successful wayfarer -- the Fledgling -- was born at the right time. With the desert thawing, the clouds parting, and the stars falling with more frequency, she is able to shake off most of the frost from her cloak and begin her journey. But she is rather ignorant of this strange world's dangers, and will need help reaching the mountain. I imagine that she will meet another of her kin to accompany her on her pilgrimage.
The Veteran
Bitter | Paternal | Intimidating
The Veteran one of the unlucky starlings that fell from the mountain during the great ice age, and would have frozen to death if a stray war machine - a monstrously large one as seen in the history lessons. did not spot him and swallow him whole. He remained in its bowels for an uncertain amount of time, grudgingly grateful for the respite from the unforgiving cold, but resentful at his imprisonment.
For a while, he shared warmth with cloth creatures who came and went as the war machine consumed then released them. But even they began shirking away from him because his prolonged exposure to the machine's energy began corrupting his body to sap more energy than he gives. Becoming an enemy to all, he gave up on the pretense of mutual friendship and began attacking and consuming the energy of incoming cloth creatures, all in the meanwhile taking sadistic pleasure of slowly weakening his warden like a malicious parasite. When the colossal machine finally collapses, he emerges, battle-scarred and unspeakably angry about the cruel world.
Announcements [06/07 - Europe and Internship!]
June 7, 2014 - Europe & Internship!
So, you're probably wondering why I all but disappeared from dA for a month. Two reasons.
First: I've been traveling. After my term ended, I packed my bags and flew over to Europe for a few weeks. It's been somewhere I've always wanted to go to, and I'm really happy that I finally got to see the sights!
The second reason: An internship. I cannot really say much about it just yet. Those of you following my streams, now few and far in between, may know just which studio I'm interning at. But I can say that two weeks into this job, I am very happy and honored to be part of such a passionate and tight-kn

Hey, you got the wrong repayment art up for the Viczar one, haha. You have one up twice, when the other one was the glyph version of the Historian. Just wanted you to know :3
