If anyone is still out there... Sorry to say, but I'm shutting down the card exchange officially. I've barely been on the site since 2019 and last I checked most of the JSE community left when Sean left the platform as well. If I could promote it on the Reddit or Discord without getting in trouble or potentially kicked I would've, but I don't wanna go and break rules.
I want to thank everyone who joined throughout the years. I had a blast with it, so many cool cards and memories. You guys truly made my Holidays better. I hope y'all have a wonderful 2021 holiday season.
My cards for the Jacksepticeye Card Exchange (@jsecardexchange) for 2018 and 2019 respectively.
(More backstory below the cut!)
I did the first one in like a day; I remember watching a christmas movie with my parents and vigorously working on it...Then I did the second one in like...a month and sent it out at an embarrassingly late date XD
As I did the second one I remembered the first one didn’t seem christmassy enough, and then I found it again and I was like “...Why would I ever use black in a christmas card?” XD I think it just didn’t cross my mind not to really. Plus, I was rushed, as mentioned so I wasn’t thinking super clearly.
I really like the second one though!! Of all the times I’ve used that pattern on the sides, I think this it’s my favorite. It’s interesting to see the subtle ways my art changes between the years.
The jsecardexchange has been such a source of light in my life these past few years. I was mentally in one of the worst places in my life during November/December 2018, and not being able to see any of my relatives for Christmas added greatly to that. Being able to receive cards and little nice messages from people on the internet was more helpful than I’ll ever be able to express. I really needed a little something to brighten my days during that time and it definitely accomplished that. I’m so grateful for it.
I got PMA stickers from a member of the community (Mina Rose, if anyone knows her user I’d love to thank her!) They are so cool so I had to show you guys!
