Secret Santa Art Exchange! (GIFTS POSTED!!)

P7sMedD.png

I can't even find the right words to express how delighted and how moved I am to have such an adorable artwork of us together, my dear sister-in-art, @Aquilla!

Thank you so much for hosting this, @Balverine! It is such a wonderful event and something I always look forward to; I hope it never becomes too much pressure. If you would be willing to trust someone with the logs of previous matches, or need anything, I would be happy to help next year. :)

All the entries are so fantastic-- there are so many artists here that I recognize from style, and even better, new faces I have yet to get familiar with.

And I confirm for @Yanrima~ that I was your Secret Santa this year. I will forward the file to you on Discord, but here's a BB Code / TBT-friendly version:
 
Opening all of the spoilers to see everyone's art is like receiving lots of little gifts! 😭💗 There are so many amazing artists on TBT! Feeling so blessed to see all of your incredible and thoughtful art! 🎄✨💗

To my Secret Santa, thank you so much! 😭 I am so in love with your art, and so thankful for you drawing my rep! 😭💗 I can't believe you drew two, and they are both amazing! I would love to know who I should credit it, because I adore them 💗💗💗 p.s. going to change my pfp rn

Thank you for hosting every year Balverine 💗💗

A huge thank you @Zerous for the beautiful art of my girl! It’s so pretty and I love her expressions! you even made two I can’t 😭💜

I love this event, all the artworks are stunning! Thank you @Balverine for making it happen :‘)
 
*Looks at art and dies of happiness* @Shellzilla_515 OMG IS THIS YOU?????? OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD DUDE THIS LOOKS SO FREAKING EPIC!!!
AHHHHHH I can't ever tell you how happy this has made me! This is the best Christmas present I could possibly ever ask for! 😭
Everything is so perfect?!? I love how Scarlet let Drift have her guitar and it's too big for him to even play 😭 and then Lily is like WOO-HOO! Shellzilla you are so unbelievably talented at art and you always blow me away. You are always going above and beyond and this is no exception, I was definitely not expecting to see anymore characters besides Scarlet and you went ahead and drew Drift and Lily too?!? Shellzilla I can't possibly express enough gratitude to you for taking the time to spend so long drawing this for me. 🥹
I WILL DEFINITELY DRAW SOMETHING FOR YOU 💙🚙

SJJJJ MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I was your secret santa! I realized I didn't put my signature on the art oops— but I'm super duper glad you liked them!! I made one art initially but I wanted to try a different art style so I thought to use your OC for experimenting hehe. Yayyy I'm happy you're happy!! 🥹🫶

And to my secret santa, THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG!! Seeing art of my OC with Etoile makes me so soft and happy, I'm super happy with the art you made for me, I think it's just so darn cute 💖 Let me know who you are so I can properly thank you!! 🥹

Oh boy it's an unsigned artwork, time for the guessing game! 😄 I'm going to accuse @ribbitribbon this time, was this you?? 🧐
But whoever my artistic santa was, I very much appreciate the art and also all those line sketches with my favourite villagers too! I enjoy their faces and expressions so much haha, the one with Hornsby is so on point for his character and it made me laugh. Thank you!! ❤️✨

@Mick MY BELOVED THANK YOU AAAA 🥰💞💞💞💞

Yay, I'm glad you like it! I wish I had an endless amount of time to polish it more, it was so much fun to have a go at drawing something entirely new! ^^

Thank you so much to my secret santa! You did a great job with Chloe and captured her super well! I wasn't sure what to expect submitting an oc and not an Animal Crossing character, but was not disappointed. This is amazing and she looks so cute in the ACNH style x) You and everyone who participated this year are very talented thank you again!!
