Say you were going for Kiamara 95 and this was your form. What would you change about it? How would you suggest to improve it?

As others have stated, bold the questions, center it. Umm another suggestion I could make is try doing this:

Username:

~*Oddly Shaded*~


Name:

Cool Kiamara's name


Also, another suggestion - make things BIGGER, but never smaller. You also don't need to space between question and answer if you make something bigger: I suggest 120 as a suitable size. So;


Username:
~*Oddly Shaded*~

Name:
Cool Kiamara's name


You could also add colour, but don't colour the entire form. That makes it hard to read and quite annoying to judges - unless it's a suitable colour which isn't bright yellow etc.

Username:
~*Oddly Shaded*~

Name:
Cool Kiamara's name


But yeah, experiment. Try cool things.

With your gifs - try to only LINK those. It lease a more intese feeling to the judge as they click the link to see what magic is waiting.

With your art - if they are bigger than 640 x - try to link those two. You should also put an artist statement, it shows some depth into the artwork, more than what the judge can just see. So try adding: artwork name/artist (even if its you)/artist statement - explain what is going on in the picture and why you decided everything would sit as it was. Never criticize your own artwork in this section.

Um... I think thats all from me :D Good luck!!

What do you think of co-ownership? Experiences?
If someone asked me for co-ownership, what specifications should I make?

I think co-ownership is ok. I co own three characters now. 2 with Stripey and 1 with NARANDA.
as for Specifications, it would depend. Lets use my Chasibandra for example, I know co-own him with Stripey. I asked stripey to PM me when/if they get art of chasi. I hadn't written out a full complete personality for Chasi so Stripey asked if they could. Im fine with Stripey doing this as long as i agree with the final product! Basically ask them to ask/notify you before and after they do something!

I like co-ownership. Never done it, but there are two of my dream character I would happily co-own.
Blah and Pseudonym. And for specifications?
1) NEVER EVER TRADE/SELL
2) maybe rules of developing stories and personality
3) a double sided agreement of not letting character collect dust:3

Looking for someone to draw a ref for me. I have the characters already, here, but I'd like a new sheet. I really hate drawing reference sheets myself, so. lol

I can pay with pets or characters, pm me! Also, that character is a coyote.

I could use a little advice, so if someone wouldn't mind PMing me, that would be great. I would just say it here, but it's indirectly related to characters, so i'd rather not spam up the thread.

I have a contest that could use some entries, the link is in my signature.

I changed up my zonkey's stripes a bit, and I think they look better. XP http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb4 ... 1a82fd.jpg What do you guys think?

Also, I finished that aardvark. XD I was rather uninspired for this one, but eh. It's forsale. ;] Image http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb4 ... 95f573.jpg

Also, I have a character design contest going, and I would love some more entries! :] viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1589437

What do you think of co-ownership? Experiences?

I did at one stage try to start a co-ownership, but we never ended up finishing any agreement (she was my character anyway). But I think it's alright, as long as both parties are at an agreement.

If someone asked me for co-ownership, what specifications should I make?

Be sure that your not making art of the character while the other person is not. Never breed without permission from both parties. Of course the major no trading/selling etc. But just be careful with everything.
