Aw, the red panda anthro wasn't accepted. q-q

[Atwood]

Unfortunately her reference didn't quite meet our requirements since it was fairly sketchy and the markings were more hinted at than clearly defined, but if we got a clearer reference for her she'd certainly be accepted. She is a great-looking character, and I imagine there would be a lot of interest in her. ^^

It took me a full mintue till I relised that I'm at the wrong place. No wonder I couldn't find the donations anywhere!
And it also explains the tons of chatter x3.

Are we allowed to use stock images if they are free to do the art or does it have to be done from scratch?

Like a photomanipulation?

Ya, like a picture of a white horse but has the markings of a character.
I think I just answered my question.. Just making sure.

I'm going to say no. Not because I'm not a fan of photomanipulations, but I don't feel like a stock photo can depict the character the best.

[Sapphirescript]

Allright understood.
I'm going for a horse so I am reluctent to draw a horse but I guess I will have to xD.

That's what I figured. Ah, well. :3

I think also that using a stock photo would be sort of like using a free lineart: even if it's coloured in by the person trying for the character, it isn't 100% their own art. Out of curiosity, Wendigo, in case the question comes up later, what if someone used their own photo rather than stock? For example, could they take a photo of their horse and add the markings on to it digitally?

Good question but a stock photo is a stock photo, so again no. It seems kind of lazy to just take a picture and airbrush markings on.
