Leave it flat colors and inks-only. Our artists will custom-shade all winning entries to match the [i]Flight Rising[/i] styleguide* [/LIST][/indent] [indent][b]Do not use textures, photographs, or brushes you did not create:[/b] [LIST] [*]We don't want unlicensed stock used in our submissions, and for a contest entry to win, it must match the Flight Rising style guide. This means crisp colors and smooth gradiant transitions. While painterly brushwork is beautiful and a joy to behold, it would stick out amidst our other familiars. Using too much texture in your brush strokes or using stock will disqualify your entry** [/LIST][/indent] [indent][b]No copyrighted characters / logos.[/b] [LIST] [*]As great as the movies, comics, video games, television, and stories we consume are, it's not very courteous to use someone's creation without permission! Original content only please. :) [/LIST][/indent] *Familiars are a more official part of the Flight Rising website, and conform to a strict style guide. While we allow a greater degree of creativity and expression of style with our skins, for familiars the familiar must match with the rest of our website. To give as many entries as possible a chance to win, we're making this a coloring contest only - [b]no lighting or shading needed![/b] **You could use strong brushwork and textures if you simply want to color and share your creation and do not mind being disqualified. -------------------------------------------- [br][br][size=4][b]How to Enter:[/b][/size] Click on the above images to download the corresponding PSD.
