what is a criiket?

criikets (cree-kets), criis or criiks for short — a species
so noisy that will totally make you regret getting one!!!
how come you couldnt resist the cuteness? >:^(

theyre perhaps related to crickets, hence the name and
the way they communicate with one another, using high-
pitched sounds similar to grasshoppers.

believe me, your friends are going to be convinced you
have a grasshopper in your pocket,,, — the sad truth.

info!

guest artist mayhem ??? — detailed event info

although not specified beforehand, this event acts as a final decision of who gets to be an official guest artist (or artist, if desired) for the species.

ill be picking 2-3 lucky people (out of the candidates) by the end of the mayhem. the rest of the guest artist candidates will receive a myo-potion as a thank you for sticking with the species and providing adopts for the community. ♥

no event items will be handled out in this side event.

main rules for the artists!

♥ it is required for you to be able to use oekaki/chickenpaint.
♥ you may create up to 2 criikets for this event in total; 1
unedited criiket and 1 edited, both for the public to adopt!
♥ make sure to specify the criikets edits when posting the adopt.
♥ contests may only be something short, lasting for about 1-3
days; fcfs (first come first serve), raffles or impress mes may
not be done.
♥ because of this, try to space out your adopts. theres quite
a lot of you, but its called a mayhem for a reason. ^^
♥ make sure to set a fitting end date for yourself to be able to
judge an adopt contest! any adopts past the end date will be
judged by me without a warning.
♥ always try your best, but dont push yourself too hard! if
the event is getting too stressful for you to participate, pm
me so we can talk things out. <3
♥ have fun, chat and make friends with the other mayhemers
if you please! friendliness is always admirable.

designing rules for the artists!
(a key to creating a beautiful, unique criiket!)

♥ any line-edits should be made using pen size 2.
♥ thus, editing the lineart (ears, tail, adding fur edits) is
allowed as long as the edits are specified when posting the
adopt. nothing overly major though!
♥ look up images/songs for inspiration! this usually helps me
a lot with ideas and gets the motivation going. <3
♥ experiment with different color schemes, but dont take
colors to an eye-burning state.
♥ feel free to ask me for advice/feedback on edits/designs
before posting your criikets! this is not required but
recommended for the best possible results. i wish to see
you improve every time you create something new. :”>
♥ color the criikets' lines a darker color than their actual
colors, to give it a soft look! (you may look through the
criikets ive released for an example <3)
♥ please recolor the signature if the criikets' colors
match with it — keep it visible no matter what.
