Okay guys. There's been some great art turned in so far. However two people have yet to turn in their art so this is just a friendly reminder that time is ticking and the due date is quickly approaching. I hope everyone can finish up and get turned in on time. ^_^

Hi! I gave your domino's pizza theme a shot here, but I've never been to domino's or ordered from domino's, so this is more of my best guess.

| Emails sent and an Adoption needed. |
[06 May 2008|02:43pm] |
Hello everyone! I have sent emails out telling you whom your chosen one is for this month. You should get an email from my personal email account. If you do not receive an email, please check your spam folder, wait a bit, then comment here if there are any problems.
Art is due in before or on May 31st. Thanks!
Also, Mahrkale has not yet received her art for April. Would someone be so kind as to adopt her character? It would be very much appreciated. Also, I please ask that if you adopt, try to finish their art within at least a week or two. Thanks again.

Technically not an exchange, but I thought others here might like this *wags tail*
Nicely done sketch by Hibbary of Sylver Blackwolfe, the drummer for the all furry rock/hard rock/metal band Wild Animals. She is a silver wolf in the same way that you have silver foxes, but with wolf color patterns. Her outfit is colored in yellow & black stripes much like something you'd expect to see in Stryper (Robert Sweet is a favorite drummer of mine). Her left arm is missing because my other favorite drummer is Rick Allen of Def Leppard, a man I admire for how he didn't let having just lost his arm in a auto accident keep him from doing what he loves to do (he started teaching himself to play the drums again before he even got out of the hospital)

| May Sign Up |
[01 May 2008|08:42am] |
Hello everyone! It's time for the next round to get started, so here is the sign up sheet for May. Glad to see some enthusiasm in the community recently and some nice arts from people. ^__^
However, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) scavenge still needs to get art turned in. You have until Sign ups close which will be on the Monday, May 5th. If not turned in by that time, I'll address the need for the adoption of your chosen one and you'll be blacklisted until you turn in your owed art. Sorry... but I need to get a system in place and toughen up and enforce this sort of stuff. It's not fair to the community if I don't.
Sign ups close on the 5th and then art is due in by the 31st. Thanks!

Hi there! I was the one who got your nifty shadow elemental wolf, Nikura. Sorry to make you wait until the very last day of the month. I hope you like it. I'm still trying to get the hang of using pastels. They are a little trickier than they look. (and messy!) Anyways, I hope you like it. ^__^
I have thumbnail that goes to my LJ scrapbook and I'll also put up the link to it on DA in case you'd rather view it there. http://shiwolf.deviantart.com/art/Nikura-Wolfxchange-April08-84347012

I got inspired today, upon reading the latest entry to this community. That, and I had to babysit a rather annoying basset hound most of the afternoon, so what better to do than work on art?
That being said, the person I got gets two pieces this month. Because, like I said, i had time on my hands, and I like playing with watercolors. Probably got some parts inaccurate, because I didn't have access to my compy, and I didn't have the reference in front of me, but I'm hoping I got most parts right. :) Pictures under cut, of course.

| April Reminder and a Note to All |
[25 Apr 2008|11:15am] |
Hi everyone! You all probably don't need much of a reminder as people have been posting up their pictures recently. But just to be on the safe side, I wanted to remind those who still need to turn in for April's exchange, that art is due in on or before the 30th. That deadline is nearing quickly, so please be mindful and set a little time aside to work on your chosen one's art.
*****
Now for everyone... I just like to say that it is YOU, all of you, who make or break this community. Generally we get out of it what we as individuals put in.
I noticed for a while a certain trend here. Less and less people would sign up and eventually the exchanges stopped completely. There just wasn't enough interest to make it even worth the effort. Now why is that? I believe people got tired of being mistreated. To get stiffed and not receive one's art is not a good thing. Neither is turning in a sketchy doodle that looks like it took a whole 5 minutes to do.
So I ask you members, that when you sign up, please try to be mindful of your schedules. Take the time to consider if you really can get this done in the time alloted and do a decent job with it? No one is asking to make a masterpiece here, but simply draw for others as you would like to be drawn for. It's important to remember that there is a person sitting on the other side of a screen name. They have feelings and when they put in their time and effort to turn in their art on time and not get anything in return, it does not feel very good at all. I know. This had happened to me TWO months in a row. Most people would be long gone, feeling the not only the individual but the community had let them down. I believe this is the reason why we don't have the activity here that we used to.
Back then we didn't have 'adoptions' in place like we do now. But knowing a person will get adopted is no excuse. It doesn't mean you can ditch your responsibilities and let someone else do the art for you. We also understand unfortunate events and things beyond your control happen and can interfere with you getting your art turn in on time. You won't be faulted for that... but for sheer laziness, or saying your exams got in the way is really no excuse. Did you really not know that you had exams coming up?
So with all that said, we are pretty much back where we started when I say that it is you who make the community what it is. Your behavior and etiquette help it thrive. We had our first successful exchange in March that we hadn't had in a long while. It was small, but everyone did some lovely art and turned in on time. This month is still small, but we have couple more than March. I hope this month will turn out just as good. But most importantly, I hope what I am seeing will become a growing trend. Hopefully many more successful exchanges will take place and more people will become active and start participating.
I hope that didn't come off as being too ranty. That was not my intentions at all. I really just wanted to encourage you all and also express that it's not me or any of the other mods that truly keep this place going. We maintain it, yes. We post up sign up sheets and send out emails, but it's YOU who keep it active.
