Anthro Sketch Exchange
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Anthro Sketch Exchange is a "Secret Santa" style quality controlled sketch exchange for anthropomorphic or "furry" characters. Anthros do not have to be anthro in the "human-like" anatomy sense, they must simply have human expression to them. Anthrosketchxch is run by MalaikaWolfcat and co-moderated by AzianWolfDoll. Applications are accepted year round and are judged on an American Idol system where the applicant must recieve 3 out of 5 "yes" votes to be accepted into the community. Anthrosketchxch accepts sketches and speed-paintings to full colored works. While sketches and the like are all that is required, artists are allowed to do as much work on their piece as they would like. Sign-ups are posted on the 20th of each month and close on the 1st of the following month.

[edit] Community Info Page Clip:
"Welcome to anthrosketchxch! This is a Secret Santa type activity where you sign up with your character’s information and it is then e-mailed to a person at random. You in turn will receive someone else’s description, and you are then expected to finish art by a certain date. Where as most exchanges you are only allowed to enter certain types of characters, or you must finish a full out picture, here at anthrosketchxch, we do things a little different. All animal characters are excepted. Unfortunately this leaves out those of you with human or mech characters. Despite being called anthro though, it doesn’t have to be anthro in the typical ‘furry’ sense. It just has to be your Disney type anthro, i.e. animal with human expressions. Also, our community is aimed for those of you who’d always like to join exchanges.. but don’t quite have the time. Our focus here is on sketches and speedpaintings. Completed pictures are nice, sure, but this community is for the busy, the lazy, and well.. people who like to sketch!
Roll call will be posted on the 20th of each month. It will stay open until the 1st of the following month. You have until then to reply to the roll-call post with your character’s information. You are welcome to post as many characters as you want, but realize that only one will be drawn unless your secret santa is extremely nice or we’re doing a themed month that calls for more than one character. On the 1st of the month, you will be e-mailed with your chosen one for the month. These assignments are totally random. Remember, please keep your chosen one a secret! That is half the fun. Art will be due by the end of the month. You may post your art at anytime. Should someone not receive artwork from their person, they will be put up for adoption. Volunteers may then sign up to draw their character. However, this does not mean that their artist should no longer bother with drawing for them. Each person MUST turn in their art to keep participating."
