DCAY v.5 OPEN [ NEW RULE -- 10/21/18 ]

[sheena]

☆ Draw the Character Above You! V.5 ☆
v1 / v2 / v3 / v4

Welcome to DCAY, the endless art trade!

How does it work?

Think of this as a massive art trade. Each person comments with a reference of the character they'd like to have drawn, then you draw the character mentioned before you and, in return, the next person draws yours! Obviously, quality art is not immediate. Each person has a maximum time limit of 2 weeks to fulfill their part. Read the rules for further clarification!

Oops, long time no see! Sorry, everyone! Important reminder here, please give it a read.

6/15/2017
I've readded the unfinished claims system from previous versions of the thread! Check it out here! If you have any spare time, it's a great way to get your name out there.

5/30/2017
Added a poll regarding the form! It's been suggested by a couple users that we heavily modify it or even do away with it (like the first versions of this thread) but I'd like some community input before I make any changes!

5/16/2017
Now under new ownership, because the previous owner (gay) has left CS! I sent out PMs to all old staff to see if they're still interested in moderating-- if it doesn't look like there's enough within a couple days I'll look for some new members!

12/02/2017
Under new ownership due to the old owner being unavailable. I'll be asking the current Mods shortly if they're still interested in Modding and I'll be posting shortly about new Mods!

☆ Rules ☆

Not following the rules could result in a warning or even a ban!

Use the following form when posting:

Code: Select all

[b][u][color=#BF0000]I'm taking a Claim![/color][/u][/b]
[b]username;[/b] (to make searching easier)
[b]finished piece;[/b] (edit in here)

[b]refs[/b]:  (MINIMUM TWO CHARACTERS)
[b]special requests (not required)[/b]:
[b]type of art [/b]:
[b]don't want[/b]:

1. You must finish your own claim before claiming again.

2. Your reference that you provide must be visual, clear, and legible. ***NEW*** Your reference cannot be so heavily watermarked that it obscures the design. If you use toyhou.se, link to your reference separately for readability.

3. You have 14 days to complete your art- no exceptions! It's your responsibility to not claim unless you know you'll be able to complete your art!

4. Requesting gift art is fine, but you or your friend must own the character that you request art for. (No tryout). If you are requesting gift art, you must add who owns the character to your form.

6. Art must be 300x300 pixels or over, unless you are a pixel artist; then it must be 60x60 pixels or over. The exception to this rule is if the person before you specifically requests dA-sized avatars (which are 50x50).

7. You may ask for a fullbody or some other specific type of art, but if you going to do that you must do a fullbody (or whatever you're asking for) yourself. If you fail to do this, the person who posts after you is not required to respect your wishes. Also, do not get offended if they don't follow this request, because while it might be the polite thing to do, they do not have to if they don't want to.

8. To prevent spam, only claim another post after two forms are posted after you.

9. Traditional art is accepted and welcomed, as long as it is photographed properly. Scanning is recommended but not required! It must follow the art regulations.

10. Art here is essentially free- what you get in return is art. Do not ask for payment from anyone.

11. All art is to be made on unique lines. This means no tracing, bases, etc.

12. Do not mark this thread.

13. While quick-claiming is fine, you must have your reference up within 10 minutes of your post. Other users have the right to skip your claim if you do not get your character's reference up in time!

14. All art pieces must have a clear, solid lineart (unless your piece is lineless/painted, in which case it must still be neat) and MUST be coloured in completely. i.e. the colouring should not be sloppy or go outside the lines. Super sketchy pieces are not allowed unless the user you are claiming specifically says sketchy art is okay.

15. Please post at least two characters so that whoever claims you has more of a variety to choose from. If you are able to, it is strongly encouraged to choose characters of different species, since everyone here has different things that they are good at. While this may be inconvenient if you're looking for art of a specific character, remember you can always find someone to commission and here the art you are getting is completely free. That being said, you ARE allowed to specify if you would prefer that whoever claims you draws one character, but keep in mind they don't have to follow that.

16. Try not to claim the same person multiple times in a short period of time. The main point of the thread is getting art from multiple people, and someone may be looking for more variety. It doesn't mean you can only claim a person once, but try not to be the ONLY person to claim them.


16b. To clarify, here's a scenario: If someone posts only once a month or once every couple months and you were the last person to claim them, don't claim them again. Try to use discretion and see if you've claimed them recently. Give everyone a chance to draw for someone else.
