JANUARY 1:1 Match Game
Sign up by Jan 10 - MAIL BY Jan 31!
This will be a 1 on 1 Artist Trading Card Exchange with an assigned partner! You can do more than 1/1 if you want!


Sometimes it's hard to ask people for personal trades - especially if you're new to the site and not sure what to do. Here's a great way to get trading with new people. You'll be assigned a partner, and you make 1 ATC for your partner according to their profile suggestions. You can make a bigger trade if you want. This swap is open to BOTH divisions so your partner may be from MMA or P&P.

Please note before signing up - No requests! I am starting from scratch now, but i'll keep a list so I can try my best to make sure you don't end up with someone you've already traded with in the Match Game but no guarantees.


PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER. SPECIFY WHAT YOU WANT, ASK WHAT THEY WANT!



Instructions
1.Sign up by January 10
2.Partners posted January 11
3.PM your partner for their address.
4.You must mail to your partner on (or before) the 31th of January. This gives you about three weeks to create 1 ATC.
5.Go to your partners profile page where you will find a list of themes (comics, cats, hearts, zetti, etc.) Pick 1 of those themes and make 1 ATC. Or figure it out between yourselves - do a 2/2 or a 3/3 trade if you want.
6. Please create your card in the medium you were accepted at iATCs for. P&P, please hand draw or paint. MMA, please use mixed media, collage or fabric/metal - whatever you normally do. If you're a member of both divisions, then any medium is acceptable.
7.Mail your completed card to your partner by January 31.
8.Post to the thread that you have mailed your card.

Rules
•You must post to the thread when you mail a card and when you receive a card so we can be sure everyone is accounted for.
•List themes you collect on your profile page or in the thread below when you sign up
•You may post pictures of completed ATCs to this thread if you want but is not required.
•This is a 1 on 1 trade so only leave iTraders for your partner, not for me (unless I am your partner!)
•If you don't mail out on time then you will not be allowed to sign up again until you meet your obligations.

I havent been able to get in touch with Rignard. I sent him another message today.

Rignard, WHERE ARE YOU????

[Gigi Anyway]

can't reach Veterok. Oh well, I'm no hurry. Veterooooook. where are ya!

[Rignard]

Hi everyone,

I'm here!

:jiggy:

My apologies! I left 2 messages for TempestStudios yesterday. Usually I receive the private
messages in my email but for some reason lately they aren't showing up. I'm really glad I checked because I forgot I had signed up for this swap! Being sick for awhile caused a chain reaction of discombobulation and now I'm back on track.

TempestStudios-did you get my messages? I have some ideas for your card and they should be in your inbox. feel free to look at my themes of choice and pick one or a combination. Your art is wonderful and I know I will love whatever you come up with!

[Ginart]

Yeah, I've been having that problem with e-mail alerts as well. Maybe we should contact the board ^_^

[Rignard]

I wanted to add that, for me, its been difficult logging into this site lately. Half the time I get a message saying something like " not able to log into site". Wonder if thats why some people are missing? I use Firefox and it seem sporatic.

http://www.illustratedatcs.com/forum/gallery/images/936/small/1_S6303936.JPG

[mlydon]

and I LOVE it - can't wait to see it in real life...I'm still workin on your mermaid...I was momentarily distracted by a silly hat..

[Gigi Anyway]

Still no answer from Veterok. Can I still sign up for February's match game?

[themuppet]

Yes, of course - that's not your fault!

I'll try sending her a message.

[Veterok.]

Ah, sorry guys. It seems everyone's been going nuts while trying to reach me, and at the same time over here I've just been waiting for the e-mail notifications all meek and happy : D Sorry. I'm glad I'm not the only one though. Just sent some PMs!

[Gigi Anyway]

All right! Thanks. All fine now :) heh heh.

[Ginart]

Finished my trade for goodmorningstarshine! ^_^

Hope she likes it.

Watercolor, ink, gel pen

[Gigi Anyway]

I wanted to try darker and more earthly. Since Veterok like "Sadness and self-pity in general " i came up with this. Hope you like it!

Suru tulee varkain - sorrow comes in secret ( or so)

[langelbleu]

A great card from Juanita Rojas arrived yesterday.

[goodmorningstarshine]

Gin, I love it! It's exactly how I imagined it would be, and they will look great framed side by side! Thank you so much.

Here's your card. You said you like illustrations that could be for children's books and I know you like the dimensional quality of my trees you traded for, so I tried to combine both in your card. I hope you like it!
