First off, what is a Secret Santa gift exchange?
A Secret Santa is a holiday gift exchange where participants create something for another person based on that person’s request. The fun of it is, once you know who you will be drawing for, you keep it a secret until you present it to them! And you will, in turn, receive a gift, but you won’t know from who until all the drawings are sent in.
To get a better idea, you can see the gifts from the previous year here
Since this is a Clownblr (clown tumblr) event, all the requests and subsequent gifts must be clown-adjacent, but otherwise, you can request whatever you want, as long as it is SFW.
The timeline:
On November 25th, the signups will be closed.
On December 1st, you will receive a message, either through tumblr dms or the other means of contact you put in, informing you of who you are drawing for, and what their request is. You will then have until the posting dates to create their gift.
The posting period is December 25th 2023 - January 5th 2024. If you wish to post your drawing yourself on tumblr, you must tag the person the gift is for, as well as this blog ( @clownartmonth ) so that I can see it and reblog it. You can also send your drawing to me as a submission, or dm it to your recipient. If you choose to do the latter you must send me a dm informing me of it.
What I signed up, but find out I can’t participate or need more time?
That’s fine, life happens! Please inform me of it as soon as possible so that I can get a backup artist for your recipient’s request. You can also ask for an extension, within a reasonable time frame, which your recipient will be informed of.
General rules:
NSFW in not allowed, horror & gore is permitted only if your recipient explicitly asked for them.
You are not allowed to share your piece before the posting period (December 25th - January 5th)
This time, this event is limited to drawings (traditional or digital). Artists of all skill levels are welcomed, however you are expected to put in a minimum of effort into your piece. Remember, this is someone’s gift! You can see gift from the previous year here.
The code word is "pink"
As always, your mod is a10, feel free to send in any questions you may have! And have fun!
I was asked to be the backup gifter for @thought-bubble-doodly-doo of their character Comedi-Anne for the @clownartmonth gift exchange. It took me a little longer than expected, but I’m happy to finally be able to give you your clown gift! I hope you enjoy it!
And here is a bonus sketch I did. I thought the idea was cool but I wasn’t vibing enough with it. Still, i figured you might like to see it :)
Secret Santa gift for @titaniumions as part of @clownartmonth ‘s event!
[A little late, but still technically on schedule.]
Merry Christmas @titaniumions , I hope your holidays are going well. I hope you enjoy your gift! I tried to keep some of the elements of the original look while leaning more heavily into the clown aesthetic, I’m not sure if I didn’t go too far into that to the detriment of the scary aspect of the character, I suppose you’ll have to be judge of that
Clown-ified Adabelle and Hel for the lovely @lemonicstarling !!! Hope you liked my take on clownifying your OCs!!! I tried to make more, but I felt like I didn't do them justice wahaha
Anyways, thanks to @clownartmonth for this event!!! It allowed me to try out a new art style<333
The time has come to open our gifts and see the all the presents created for the gift exchange. You can see all of them in the tag ‘clownblr 2023 gift exchange’ on this blog.
If you’re participating but you’re not quite done yet, don’t worry, you still have until January 5th to post your drawing. Reversely, if you are expecting a gift but haven’t received anything by January 5th, please send me a message to sort it out.
The drawing attached to this post is a gift for @unpickel of our clownsonas!
Happy Holidays @xxcircuspunkxx ! As part of the @clownartmonth gift exchange, I got to draw your character! I hope you enjoy it, and have an excellent day 🥰
