#ATCitupwithfriends Artist Info
YOU ONLY EVER FILL OUT THIS FORM ONCE! - The very first time you apply to join ATCitupwithfriends. If you received an invite directly from Pabkins please still fill out the form. For all other new prospective artists that would like to join filling this out does not guarantee there is currently space available. The group is currently full but still fill it out if you want to participate as new folks are added when possible.

This is your chance to tell me about the types of art and things you like! I'll try to use this information when it comes time for me to swap out the ATCs, if I feel like surprising folks or when I give out extras in the swap returns.

Required
NO RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL or SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT is allowed on the monthly group swap cards (personal MMH game and 1 on 1 cards are fine to ask for nudity -  but religious and political content it still prohibited in our group). Cards MAY contain MILD nudity but no sexually obscene/grotesque or implied activities are permitted. Your best tactic is to avoid nudity as those have a chance of being sent back to you unswapped!! Check marking the box means you understand and you will comply. It also means you are 18 years of age or older and that you understand the cards you receive back might contain nudity. *
Required
One of my main focuses for this group is to stretch your own creativity through original art and characters of your own. FAN ART IS NOT swapped in the monthly themes of this group (unless the theme is specifically FOR THAT THEME!) This means do not draw things from existing movies/games/shows, etc, this also includes celebrities. ALSO! - Be sure you do not COPY, TRACE, or reference another's artwork. This includes screen captures, images of illustrative works. Real photography references are of course acceptable and understandable as it is natural to need references. You can also use body form books, how to draw books and such but again not copying an actual illustration. This means don't look at another's work and just "redraw it in your style" This artwork must be your own. If you need help with references it is easy to find how to draw books or pose model websites, and any natural photography always works great! This is an ORIGINAL art group so we want you to stretch your own creativity. (Again - Fan art is only acceptable for donated auction cards and our "make me happy" trade game (on our discord). *
Required
Is it ok to include a picture of your submitted cards into a group collage? (monthly announcement graphics, group photos or on blogposts) *
Suggestions for Future Swap Themes?
Anything else you want me to know? Or questions for me?
What Swap month/theme are you applying for? Remember filling out this form does not guarantee there is space available - you will be notified if you've been added to the roster and a welcome email with mailing address will be sent.
Have you had experience trading art before? Or made and traded ATCs before? If so we'd love to know where! *
I always love to know - How did you find the ATC it Up with Friends group? *
ATCitupwithfriends has an ongoing project for a series of Art Books.  To make things easier for Pabkins (me) if you'd like to become a member please agree to have your cards printed in our community artbook. As the swaps are free to take part in other then your return postage, the group is in sore need of the funds raised from these books to support the community and all it costs to keep it running. By filling out this signup form and mailing in your cards to this trade community you are agreeing to be included in these artbooks. The full ongoing information about our artbook series is in the URL link below in the first checkbox. However if you really don't want to be included you can send in but must include a large "DO NOT SCAN" sticky note in with your envelope. All art does not always get included in the books it depends on content and space available.   *
