Secret Santa
Hello everybody and welcome to the Official Kukuri Secret Santa!
This time of year is a time to give and spread love and kindness, and what better way to spread that love and kindness than surprising people with beautiful art! <3
What is a Secret Santa?
A secret santa is where you get to secretly draw a picture or write a story for a random person and in turn receive one from another random person! Make sure not to spill the secrets to anyone!
Secret Santa’s are a lovely way to give gifts and give love to the other players in the community, and what better way to celebrate it than in the festive month!
✿ PLEASE consider your own personal time before participating! If you aren’t sure you can do it, then please do not stress yourself! Gifting can always occur on your own terms if you really wish to <3
Requirements
General Requirements
✿ You are able to use any media you like, whether it is digital art, traditional art or even literature!
✿ Only one character per image! Only choose one of the kukuri if they list more than one. No adding more characters for other people or your own.
✿ These cannot be used as trainings, MQ, Activities or anything like that! It should just be a nice image or story as a gift for the other person.

Image/Lit Requirements
✿ For art pieces the image must be a Fullbody, Coloured, and Shaded with a Background. While these are the requirements, we want you to have fun with the art so that it is made with love and not stress, so don't stress too hard about making the requirements match exactly like you would with official group art, like activities and other official group art.
✿ For literature entries they must be between 750 to 1000 words! Make sure the player’s kukuri is present 75% or more of it. Please keep in mind that you are allowed to go a little under or over the word count, just remember to have fun and put as much love in it as you can!

We understand the holiday season can be a very busy time for a lot of people, so you will be able to post your entries between the 22nd of December 2024 and 5th of January 2025! The latest you will be able to submit your entries is 5th of January 5pm Finnish time (UTC+3)
Please do not post any work in progress or any completed submissions of your Secret Santa before these dates!
IF YOU CANNOT COMPLETE YOUR ARTWORK FOR ANY REASON PLEASE CONTACT SomeSunnyBunny ASAP via dA Notes. We understand that IRL things can happen that may prevent you from completing your piece, but we need time to arrange for a backup partner so the sooner you contact us the better it is for everyone.
✿ Please do NOT contact about SS in discord dms, the message will be ignored
✿ We must be notified before Dec. 22nd if you cannot participate otherwise failure to submit a entry will bar you from partaking next year. If it comes down to it, backup artists/writers will be given until January 12th to jump in with a completed entry!
How to enter
To enter you must:
✿ Own at least one kukuri. If you wish you may enter more than one kukuri and let the artist choose who to depict!
✿ Tell us a little bit about the import, some personality traits that aren’t on the import? Some lore that might help with giving ideas for the artist? Maybe you don’t want the kukuri to be depicted in a wintery/festive setting!
✿ Anyone is welcome to join! Don’t be put down if you specialise in literature or you feel your art is lower quality than others. You all have beautiful styles and we are excited to see all of the beautiful art out there!
The Deadline for entering the Secret Santa is the 8th of December 5pm Finnish time (UTC+3)!
After that, who you are drawing/writing for will be sent to you in notes.
Fill out the following form and submit it into the comments to enter:
Kukuri(s) you would like drawn: Link to the Kukuri import(s) you would like drawn!
Extra info for the artist: If you don't want anything specific drawn in the image, or something about the kukuri that isn’t on the import already?
Would you like to be a backup artist?: If there are extenuating circumstances and someone is unable to complete their secret santa, you may be called upon to create a second piece of art so that every participant still gets their gift.
