Art:December Doodles 2017

From YPPedia

The December Doodles is an event formerly run by Apollo. In 2012, the format changed from daily weekday events to twice-weekly due to time constraints; this format has continued ever since.

Delayed (not) December (not daily) Doodles 2017 [1] is the thirteenth annual December Doodles event, though due to a scheduling booch, it didn't start until December 28, so it mostly took place in January. It was hosted by Hera, Clotho, and Nemesis.

As in other recent years, Shiny Sun Points were awarded as additional prizes.

Doodle #1: Bottle Cap Baubles! (Hosted by Hera)

28 December - Your task for this doodle is to upcycle bottle caps into Xmas decorations with a YPP theme. I don't just want one decoration, I want three. They don't need to be the same, they can be constructed in different ways but displayed together they should reflect some aspect of YPP. For example: powder, wad and shot would be three different decorations coming together to reflect the art of gunning.

Doodle #5: Let's Cheer Her(a) Up! (Hosted by Clotho)

11 January - It's time for that wonderful thing, the singing doodle! Today, I'd like you to sing for me; or at least, make some kind of musical approximation to singing. This year, we're going to try to cheer Hera up, so the song must include the phrase Hera wants a peacock pet somewhere.
