d) some funny poses
e) I don't mind drawing men's half naked body (torso, I mean) but not in a kinky way.
f) ribbons <3
Won't draw:
a) animals and landscapes

Conflicts:
Hm. I don't think there would be problem with posting a picture on time.
Requests:
I would like a picture of Kanda Yuu ([link] [link] [link] [link] [link]) and Allen Walker ([link] [link] [link] [link] [link]) from D.Gray-man together. It don't have to be in a romantic way - I'll be just happy if I see them together on one art <3 Because I absolutely love this two characters, their personality, their looks, and the most - their relationship xD
Don't bother to draw them in their original clothes (unless you want to, ofcourse) cuz I know that drawing every detail of exorcist's coat is pain in ass xD I would really appreciate if you draw them in casual clothes, like Kanda's here ([link]) or Allen's here ([link]).
Hm. A little about them:
Kanda is always cold and uncaring, he acts like he doesn't give a damn about others. He's strong and remains calm, but if someone get on his nerves, he's the first one to start a battle. He always carries a sword with him (called Mugen, which means "six illusions". Kanda doesn't smile. At least I don't remember him smiling even once. But he smirks. He can make a really sexy smirk.
Kanda is muscular and well built. He has long, navy blue hair, that he usually ties up in a thin ponytail. His fringe is quite long, it can cover his eyesight.
Allen's character is completly opposite to Kanda's. He's kind and (almost) always happy. He loves to smile and help other people - it's really easy to make frends with him. He is what you could imagine as an innocence - pure, kind, with loving heart.
But he has his 'dark side'. It happens to appear when he's arguing with Kanda, or when he's recalling his training with his master. It's not something dangerous, but it can frighten a little xD
Allen has kinda short, white hair and big, grey eyes. His left eye has characteristic scar(?) with small pentacle above eyebrow (you can see how it exactly looks on pictures of Allen that I gave ^^). I can say that he is slender, but he is surely strong and well built. Not as well as Kanda, but still. His left arm is completly red, and has a green cross on the palm. It's his weapon - it can grow really big and change its form, or, in later chapters of manga, it can make a mask and a coat, too (he looks like a clown in it. A Crowned Clown.) Also, he can 'remove' his left hand and make a specific sword with it (strange as it is, I know).

I don't except you to draw this much xD you don't even have to draw any weapon of his, or bother with that red arm and all. I'll be really happy to see him with Kanda, and that's all I want <3
So why did I write this all? The hell I know xD

Username: Den-chan
Won't Draw: Yaoi/Yuri, super muscular men (or women ), angel-type characters (the wings kill me!)
Conflicts: Well, work sometimes gets in the way, so I tend to send in entries either on the due date itself or a bit later than that. (Being under pressure sometimes helps me finish the entries though.)
Requests: Can you please draw my original characters? ([link]) I would love to have a couple pic (pair up whoever you want) but if you want to draw only one character, it's okay with me.

Username: KajunChickenDude
Won't Draw: Anthro, Robots, Glasses
Conflicts: I might have to send it in a few days early.
Requests: Misha from pita-ten, [link] [link]

Username:Brizz

Will/Won't Draw: Will draw relatively everything (yaoi, yuri, het, your mom etc.) EXCEPT animals (neko-people are NO exception to this).

Conflicts: Nothing in particular, but I am in school now so I might turn in the art early/late if I find a conflict with my school work. But I will note you guys ahead of time so no worries.

Requests: SO, I would like art/story (yesh, you may do a story if you wish) OF:

1) (HET) Cao Pi/Zhen Ji
Cao Pi ref: [link]
[link]
Zhen Ji ref: [link]

Romance description: Since I have not finished my own fanfiction of them, basically all I can say about them is that they are the more physical attraction type of couple rather than the fluffy kind. Fluff is highly discouraged. They are both arrogant, proud people, so their relationship is basically: "Gawd you are such a bitch/bastard, but that's why I love you" Yah. Need more info? Plz note gift-time to note me for such.

OR

2) (YAOI) Jiang Wei/Lu Xun (in that order)
Jiang Wei ref: [link] [link]
Lu Xun ref: [link]

Romance description:
-Fanfiction story link: [link]
Basically my own crack couple, so don't expect to find much on them. Since they are both very similiar, they are more like the "best friends" type couple. Fluff is highly encouraged between them. Both are respectful, intelligent, very caring people. I have a whole page on the dynamics of their relationship. If interested, plz note gift-time to note me for more info.

**You do NOT have to draw them in their Chinese attire if you don't want to (the details, GAH), I am more than happy if you want to draw them in modern clothing.

I'm so complicated. <3

Username: Candrence

Will/Won't Draw: It's hard to say what I won't do because I'll give just about anything a try at least. I even prefer nudes, but club leader is too young,

Conflicts: I do have a different schedule each week at my job, so it's hard to say how much time I get to work on art, but I should be able to squeeze in some art work while at work if the need should arise, hehe.

Requests: I would like to receive a picture of my character, Sarendipity (references: [link] [link]), either by herself in some cool pose, or with my other character, Lulakita (references: [link] [link]). So, since it's going to be for V-Day, something with both Sarendipity and Lulakita hanging out together would be nice,

Username: ^Nenekko-chan

Will/Won't Draw: ^{well, you already know the first one xDD;;, mecha thingys like robots, gaia avatars(ive done too many alreadyD: ), furry peoples(animal ears, tails and markings are fine though[but not too excessive]), and girls in swimsuits(I'll draw guys in theirs though! but not speedos becuz they scare me). sorry, thats a long list...D:}

Conflicts: ^{every week I only have two nights free(from things other than school) because of extra curricular activities I take after school. Also currently my teachers are starting to give more homework now and so I may finish early or late depending if I have time to draw. I really want to get my pairing soon because Im afraid that I'll be late with it because of these things. D:}

Requests: ^{My Original character, Talic!
