    The template is the lineart page available on the application form. You are welcome to use any program that can open the .PSD file; Photoshop is by no means required. I recommend FireAlpaca personally, which is what I use to create my art for CS.

I go back and forth with medibang and firealpaca, I mostly use alpaca for gifs and animations and it works like a charm- thank you! <3

    Hey there, just a few questions! Do we have to use all the colours in the palette? Also, are we able to blend colours (in a sort of gradient, where there is a new colour) or do we have to stick to doing blocky designs so that colours dont mix? Thanks!


Blending and gradients are fine, and you don’t need to use all the colors, just as long as you stick to the pallet.

Please stick to normal opacity, if it looks like the design has different colors in it then we can't judge it against other entries fairly


Could someone clarify this? It seems a bit contradictory. If blending/using gradients isn't allowed, does that also mean no soft brush? Only 100% opacity hard brush?

you can blend and use soft brush or gradients, just don't for example: flood fill the pet with red and then use a 20% opacity yellow fill over the top of it to create an orange that doesn't exist in the palette (we'll just think you made up a new color)

Hi! I decided it couldn't hurt to try and apply and I'm just curious, every time I try and submit my application the site breaks and my application doesn't go through. Am I uploading too big of files or? thanks for the help!

*cracks knuckles*

Looks like it's time to get to work!
(I have legit wanted to be a CS artist for...many years haha.
Even just being a guest artist would be a huge honour.)

Perfect chance with my recent name change too! Many have known me on here as "MoggyWolf/Moggy" for yeeaaarrrss...but it was time for a change.

Try attaching just one image at a time (you can add additional images after saving).

How big images are you attaching?

Just to be sure, for the items we are not supposed to alter lineart, the items go on top of the line art though right?

Only if I didn't have a chromebook. I really wanted this opportunity to become an artist, but I guess I will wait until next time. :/
