Coloring Page

The object of this contest is to color in the provided lineart as best as you can. You can submit either a digital or traditional entry, but either one or the other - not both. All entries will be judged the same. There will not be separate prizes for traditional and digital entries.


Rules

1. You must submit one entry of your coloring using the template base image provided below. Your entry can either be digital or traditional.

2. You cannot alter the base lineart! This means that you cannot add additional lineart such as custom mutations or new objects. However, you can add in coloring details such as genes, sparkles, glows, etc. If you have questions about whether or not your entry will be valid, you can always send me a PM with your concern.

3. When you are finished with your entry, come back to this thread and post it here.

4. You must create your entry on your own! No assistance is allowed from anyone else. All work in your entry must be entirely originally created by you. No exceptions. Failure to follow this rule will not only disqualify your entry but may also result in further punishments. We want to see your creativity!

5. Please do not reserve posts. Only post when you are ready to submit an entry. If your entry is still ongoing, you may post early with the progress that you currently have and edit your post as you finish.

6. Please do not ping me unless you have a specific question or concern that I need to address. Thank you.

7. In order to receive credit for participation, the entire canvas must be colored in. Additionally, it must look like actual effort went into your submission. In other words, you can't just paint bucket the entire thing blue and receive credit. We are ultimately the final judges of what qualifies as participation. If you actually put forth the effort to color the lineart, I am sure that you will have nothing to worry about.

8. The due date for submitting your entry is by the end of the Summer Festival. Please refer to the eventual Overview thread for this final date.


Prizes

All submissions will be judged by Krinadon and Faiona. We will announce winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Everyone who submits a valid entry will be awarded nice participation prizes including the Title: The Artistic.


Above all else, have fun! These contests are just meant to be fun and to let your creativity run wild! =)

This will be interesting for me because normally if I use a base (lineart) I redo it so that it is my own, but since the rules state that you can't edit the lineart I get the feeling that won't be allowed... Am I correct in figuring that?

(I'm not a moderator of any kind but here's my advice!)
That's indeed the case, you cannot alter the lineart. But I believe you should be able to download the lineart straight from this thread, or at least extract it. There's lots of software and apps that can do that for you! Hope that helps

Are these stray lines or are they intentional?

Hi is it ok if I wanted to add body stripes and some of the runes. Also could I add pearl armor or would that be changing it to much. And do we have to color in the water?

You can add genes, as you'd be coloring it in. As for the Pearl Armor, no.
It states in the rules (Rule #2) that you cannot add/alter the line art.
As for the water, that's up to you I guess. Although if you've read rule #7 then I'd suggest so.

You can add genes, but adding mutations wouldn't be allowed as that'd be adding extra lineart, while genes are just a part of the coloring. :)

(I just wanted to say that your colouring is absolutely beautiful! The way you made the mane and genes glow.... wow!)

I feel like it looks bad, especially compared to what I normally do lol
