There are no prizes.
...
Just kidding! I'm not Santa Melty. I've always wanted to say that though.
Welcome Legends Stationeers to our seventh annual Secret Santa Art Exchange! Here at Legends Station, we have this event every December of every year for the sole purpose of gifting Megaman Legends art to one another!... with a few twists here and there. I'll go through some of the big ones now.
- You don't have to be that great at art! If you aren't, then you're at an advantage! In this tradition, our goal is to have everybody go out of their comfort zone so that the playing field is levelled somewhat on quality. As long as you're in a jolly and giving mood, there's no bounds to your creativity!
- Art needs to be visual. This is primarily so that the art can be showcased as the main site's banner from the 24th through to the 31st. This rule can, however, be waived in certain select cases at the discretion of the staff.
- No crossovers of any kind. This event is meant to produce pure Megaman Legends fan-art! So as a result, you can't request OCs, self-inserts, MMZero, or any character (or theme / object) that wouldn't belong in the canon Legends universe. As of right now, Dev-room Legends 3 content counts as canon for all intents and purposes of this event, so you can request and/or incorporate The Bright Bats and company into your assignment or request. Winter-y themes don't count as cross-overs, so feel free to request those as well.
- We offer pretty badges! If you're a newer forumer here, you're bound to have noticed at least one Secret Santa badge floating on someone's profile or posts by now. If you successfully complete your assignment, you're guaranteed to get a regular-grade badge!
- We offer a special challenge! This challenge is chosen by the staff after much deliberation and it changes every year. If you can fulfill your assignment and our challenge, you get an upgraded and animated form of the badge mentioned previously!
- If your request doesn't get fulfilled, don't worry! We archive all requests, including unfulfilled ones, and occasionally, our special challenge is to complete unfulfilled requests! Just have faith and have hope; we promise not to keep requests waiting a decade.
On the evening of December 9th, your request will be randomly distributed to another participant. If you're a participant, then naturally, you'll receive someone else's request, which is your assignment. Then the race (metaphorically speaking; please don't rush) is on!
You have have until December 22nd (all day) to submit your artsy interpretation of your assignment via PM to me. After that, you're done! Just be patient for the Day Before Christmas, for the requests to pop up on the main site, then until Christmas Day for the finished results to be edited into this post after badges are handed out! Sound good? Alright! Make somebody happy this year!

Dec 2nd-9th: Sign-up period. Think of a prompt and post it in this thread. It should be 5 words or less and relevant to Megaman Legends so that the artist can have an open mind on how to interpret it.
Dec 10th-22nd: Assignment Period. This is the two-week period in which you will work on your assignment and our challenge if you decided to take it.
Dec 24th: Image banners begin cycling on the main site.
Dec 25th: Full versions of the assignments are released to the public, and all successful participants get badges.
2014 Premium Challenge: Attempt to do your assignment without having to draw.
Any questions? Feel free to ask in this thread! Otherwise, post something that shows your interest, and your request. We prefer if your request is on a new line of text or bolded, but that isn't necessarily required. Mostly just preferred etiquette and stuff.
