Thanks for the entry SRFG! Also no worries Jewel, it's completely understandable.
@ManOfWar GT Thanks for showing interest in joining the fanart prompts! We accept all skill levels in the prompts and is more a collaborative showcase over a competition and are meant to help facilitate creativity and productivity of artists through set deadlines and forced topics to narrow ideas down into certain topics. More importantly, it's to help improve and develop your drawing skills while having fun! Each prompt is bi-monthly, with a total of 6 prompts per year. As for official rules, the only real previously established rules for the competition as far as I know are as follows:
1. Artwork has to be submitted in the GoF fanart section (feel free to also post in on DA or other art sites and share it there if you want)
2. The artwork has to be specifically stated as an entry for the prompt in the post description, so you cannot use old artwork as submission. Previously you needed to send a PM out to the person running the prompts, but I find stating in the post itself works well enough as I'm
generally around enough.
3. Any art medium is accepted. So traditional, digital drawings, paintings, sculpting and whatnot is acceptable.
4. Not really a rule anymore as voting is not a thing now, but it would be nice if you can mention if you plan on participating on any of the prompts so I know who still is working on their artwork. Not as applicable now as we're trying to be a bit more strict with deadlines due to past issues with that, but a possible 1 week extension could be implemented.
As for new guidelines, I would also personally include:
5. The fanart has to be completely your work. That means not just copying and pasting backgrounds or characters or anything. All that typical plagarism type stuff. Though using screenshots as references to help with poses and such are fine.
6. As it is LBT fanart, it generally is within the LBT Universe, though things like OCs are generally permitted. AUs have also been done in the past and are sometimes part of the prompt topics as well. I suppose this is a bit more discretionary and subjective to the artist and is hard to enforce as creativity is the name of the game, but it should at least be recognizably LBT I guess?
Participation in the prompts can earn you a treestar on the annual fanart awards, which can be shown below in my signature. We also pick out some of the fanarts that were submitted that year to use for the banner (if you are against us using your artwork, feel free to let us know). Finally, previous and current fanart prompts can be found
here. I will also mention the new fanart prompts in this topic when they start up.
Let me know if you have any questions.
For anyone who's curious about the 2021 fanart banners, yeah that is something that still needs to be done at some point. PM's will be sent out at some point regarding them. Sorry for the wait.
