Hello everyone! We will be holding design contests once again for the Summer Festival! Please make sure to read the rules carefully!


Rules

1. Design a pet mutation for any species of your choosing and come back and post the image in this thread. To get a blank pet image just go to the generator page and take the image from there. You can resize the image to the maximum size via the image url, the maximum size is 500.

2. You must draw the mutation on the pet. In case your drawing skills aren't great then along with your drawing you can include a description to better help us envision your mutation. If you are unable to draw something, then I am sorry, there will be no exceptions.

3. You are allowed to be free in your creative process, but designing around the Summer Festival is encouraged.

4. Please do not reserve posts. If you reserve a post I will delete your post.

5. Before submitting your entry please make sure to scan the thread to see if someone else has done something similar. Try to make your entry unique and if someone has already done something that you were wanting to do...then I highly suggest you pick something different.

6. You may only submit ONE official entry. If you wish to submit more then you can send me a PM with drawings of your mutation idea. However all PMed entries that are sent to me will not count for prizes.

7. The end date is June 4th 2014 at 12AM server, after that the thread will be locked.


Note

I am very aware that it's typical to use google to search for ideas when designing things. However, it is extremely important that if someone happens to be referencing another person's artwork, it should not be possible to google it and find exactly what was used as reference.Please make sure to change it enough and be creative enough that you're making it your own design. This is extremely important not just for ethical reasons but also for legal reasons when we're implementing something onto our site. Thank you! :)

Prizes

All entries that are picked will have the mutation created and will receive a Mystical Essence of the submitted species. Everyone that participates will also receive a participation prize.

Don't comment on someone's entry unless you have something nice to say. If someone copies your entry then have faith in us that we will determine the correct winner. Please do not fight over entries, if I see anyone doing this in the thread then whoever is fighting will be disqualified.

Sorry, I don't know how to upload pictures (>w<);
But I thought that the Mystic Mask would go good with the traditional Japanese lanterns they set out during festivals, especially the summer festival. It's to bring good luck and fortune, and is a pretty sight to see. Sorry the drawing's really bad, it'd had been easier on a tablet and I can't draw anyways XD
If you need more references at how they look, look up Japanese summer festival lanterns on google and tons of picture's will pop up. [:

Aeridini- Hibiscus Tail

(Drew it a bit small, sorry.)

design a pic, then go to a website like imgur.com or deviantart.com. the upload buttons r usually hard to miss, but if you have difficulties finding them message me. once you've upload the pic, right click the pic and say copy image, or copy image url. both r the same. go to sylestia and create a post/reply. paste the url into the message box, highlight the message then click the IMG= botton in the top right corner under the ping users box.

R, can we use print out the pet image then do our thing then and then post? Like, printing out a pets' image, drawing on the mutation, take a pic, upload to Imgur, and that. Would that be acceptable?

That's fine.

Okay, got it xD
Should I redo my entry?

Not the best but basically I was imagining wings like the Wings of Illusion but like a sun on the back and sunbeams for wings. ^^'

Okay, thanks fai!

Oh I like this :3 Good idea!
