Yep, for now you can draw as many as you want. ^^ Keep in mind that the art score isn't cumulative though, so having lots of drawings won't greatly increase your overall art score. ;3 However, they might work together to hit all of the scoring factors where just one might not have and increase your score that way. For example, if one was a simple sketch that showed the personality really well and the other had a lot of work put into it but wasn't really strong on personality, the overall score of both together would probably be higher than of either on its own, because together they hit more scoring factors.

So if they show more expression they score higher?

[Atwood]

It's mostly personality and/or backstory that I'm looking for in the art (i.e. what makes it a character as opposed to just a design), so the more expressive the art is the better. :3 Things like pose, posture, facial expression, body language, background, items, interactions, reactions and all that sort of stuff can be used to convey who the character is, illustrate something from the history/story, or just show a 'character moment' that isn't necessarily part of the written form at all but shows some aspect of their personality.

Background:
"My story begins in a little pet store on the edge of a small town. How they got a bat, let alone a pregant mother flying fox bat into their pet store I do not know. I spent most of my life watching people pass me and my mother by, not even taking a chance to look at us. I mean come on Im cute. I then began to notice my mother grew ill. I stayed by her side until she slowly passed away.After that I was lonely....Sitting there alone in the back of this now empty cage. Just me, myself, and I. I reliezed that my reflection was rather fun to conversate with, which might sound crazy. One day, all of that was going to change......A little 9-year-old girl walked by one day"
She stared at him and then smiled. She tapped on the glass gently and yelled for her mother. "Mommy! Look at it, it's cute!" Her mother walked over and gave him a rather digusted look. "Honey....What is it?" The little girl jumped up and down. "Its a bat, Silly mommy!! My favorite animal!" She placed her palm on the glass and He titled my head slightly. He then flew over and placed his little paw against the glass were her palm was placed. Her mother looked at him then her daughter with shock. Then she walked over to the man at the desk. "We'll take that bat...."

Number: 12
Picture:
Name: Galactic Skies (Gala)
Species: Red Panda
Personality: Gala is optimistic and funny, and she always tries to see the light of a dark situation. She is the light of the day, and she can manage to brighten everyone's day, but not her own. Gala is giving person, who's thoughts are only to heal and to give and never to receive. She is generous, but her thoughts are too carefree, making her a vulnerable person. Gala is always shy around strangers until she meets them, and there she is a easy-going person with many jokes to tell.
Likes: Nature, Outdoors, the sky, watching the clouds, looking at the sun set.
Dislikes: Closed areas, the night, the dark.
Background:
Gala is Etoile (My fursona)'s sister. They are both the same, in a way. Gala, light blue, optimistic and bright, is the day light, the day of my fursona. Etoile, dark blue with twinkling stars, is dark and shy. She is the night of my fursona.
They were both born to Lilac and Toxic. Lilac, the mother, was purple and violet, her face split with the two colors. Toxic, the father (my original fursona), was a dark black wolf with splotches of rainbow paint. Lilac had a soft and gentle smile, and loved the simple things in life, while Toxic was complicated and had intricate designs that represented his thoughts. They were absolutely different, like Gala and Etoile, and opposites attract.

Gala and Etoile grew up believing that life would always be perfect. They grew up believing that life was a one way road to heaven, a perfected paradise with no sins and no worries. They had all they wanted, and they were content. Then their older sister, Lunara, a beautiful white wolf with swirls of darker blue, passed away, and they felt grief and sorrow. Gala mourned until she saw the pain that had scarred her parents, and she tried to give. She tried to give more than she had, but it helped in a way. However, it pained Gala herself.

Etoile took a long time to move on and she still remains quiet and prefers silence. Before, to see another's joy was to feel her own grief, but she learned that she had give too. The world did not revolve around her, and she learned. She became someone who is shy until you get to know them, and then she would be nice and funny and good to hang around with.

Gala appreciated Etoile's kind moves, and she was still pained by her attempts, but she saw the light of every night, and the light of every day, and understood that to hate you must love and to love you must hate. She understood many things, and her wisdom deepened daily, while Etoile became more and more childish every day. Gala understood that the hidden can be found if you try, and she understood to shed tears for the world instead of for herself.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(This is the story form.)

"This one will be Galactic Skies," Lilac whispered, her tail pointing at the small blue bundle.
"And this one will be Etoile," Toxic murmured gentle, his eyes wide with a sparkling sensation. Their young pup, Lunara, yowled in excitement as her younger sisters were born. "Gala!" She barked, unable to pronounce the long word. "E-tuoilee!"

I was a light blue red panda, with simple markings like my mother. Lilac was beautiful, and I had always wanted to be like her. Etoile, on the other hand, was like our father. Complicated and unnaturally bright, with deep thoughts and thoughtful questions. Her deep purple coat was matted with small white stars and she had a night blue diamond that hung over her ashen eyes.

I loved the outdoors. I loved watching the clouds make their way across the painted blue sky, and watch the sun dip down into the earth and watched the lovely shades of pink, orange, and red turn into a night sky.

I love to walk across the beach, too. I love everything that is blue. I adore the little blue butterflies that come to the iridescent flowers, and the tides that wash up onto the shore, leaving shadows and marks from the deep water.

When I was young, I had been given a necklace. It was the most beautiful object ever, and I absolutely loved it. It was a golden dragonfly, with a thin golden chain and a sky blue stone that lay on the dragonfly's back.

Then their was our sister, Lunara. Lunara was older, with a beautiful, snow white coat and intricate swirls of blue. She had golden eyes and a golden pendant with a globe, and she was perfect. We were all perfectly content, until one day,

Lunara was gone.

Wiped off of the planet's surface. Lunara was nothing. Just a ghost, just a cadaver. She was killed, and the happiness had been sucked out of our lives. I didn't know what I was supposed to feel, what I was supposed to say. Each step was one towards uncertainty and sorrow, and I was trapped in a world of grief.
But as I looked around myself, I saw my parents who were in even more sorrow, and I knew that I had to help.
So I gave. More than I had. And I was wounded forever.

Under construction at the moment...
I've gotta get offline for a bit, but I'll finish this when I get back. :3

I would like to adopt!

Number:
26

Picture:

Name:
Anoki

Species:
Common Smili

Personality:
He's a bit of a recluse, preferring to be mostly on his own, alone with his thoughts. But is kind, gentle, and friendly with others, and doesn't mind a companion every now and then. He's quite laid-back and easy going. He'd rather lounge around saving his energy for hunging and study his surroundings, than run around too much. He's pretty open-minded and willing to consider others opinions and ideas, but can be a bit set in his ways with certain things, such as living in the desert and wandering where he pleases.

Likes:
Warm sunny weather, living in the desert, sleeping in until noon, sunbathing, watching and listening to birds (which he's fascinated by), stargazing, thunderstorms and the relief from the heat they can bring, exploring caves and canyons for pretty rocks, gems, and feathers for his collection, climbing cliffs to see what views they can offer, watching the sunset...

Dislikes:
Snow and cold weather, running long distances, swimming, fighting, killing needlessly, humans...

Background:
Anoki was born and raised in the desert among the many caves, canyons, and plateaus, so he feels most at home there. He was born a single child and his father left him and his mother when he was still very young. His only knowledge and memory of his father is that he was a sort of nomad, always wandering here and there as he pleased. Like his father Anoki inherited a stunted tail. But unlike his father Anoki isn't self conscious of his condition, but rather thinks of it as something that makes him unique and special.....

Working on one right now

[Miss Park Avenue]

I would like to adopt!

Number: 26
Picture: [Attached]
Name: Naira
Species: Smili
Personality: She is a misunderstood Smili with a big heart
Likes: She likes other misunderstood Smilis, vegies as well as meat, the sun, water, cute other species
Dislikes: Mean Smilis, bugs, predators, killing cute prey
Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot. 2500 words maximum, 100 words minimum. We value quality over quantity, you can have five pages and still say absolutely nothing.) Since she was born, Naira was misunderstood. The only one with her disease was her mother, who passed away when she was a pup. Her disease was impaired tail growth, and just from that, the fact she was a tiny bit different, cost her her childhood. Now as a grown Smili she is hoping to find a friend who also is different. That would change her life. In her adventures to prove she was a good Smili, not just different, she has: fallen off a cliff, nearly drowned in a waterfall and has almost been killed by an animal that didn't look like it existed! None of those adventures meant anything, for she is still alone.
A picture you drew: OPTIONAL! This will only get you extra credit. You still have to write the rest of the form. COLORED IN LINEART IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT HAS TO BE ART YOU DREW FROM SCRATCH.

[The Dolorosa]

I would like to adopt!
Number:2
Picture:
Name: Annabeth
Species: Dragon
Personality: Annabeth, also known as Anna, is known to ignore her surroundings and the ones surrounding her. Altough at first she may seem very mean, and talks very much, she can be a kind and loyal person. It's just the trust problem she has that gets in the way.
This dragon can be very over-protective and annoying, and strict, and again annoying, but she is smart. She gives adive whenever she wants, but was taught to not speak unless asked.
Likes: Pearls, flowers, satin, the color black, swimming, learning something new, playing cards, food, dreams, pulling teeth out of her mouth (But is very annoyed when they take their time to grow back)
Dislikes: Mean people, strong oddors, being a perfectionist, being bored, annoying people.
Background:
The little dragon looked above her shell. She had used it as a 'shield' for some time and used the strategy 'I can't see them, they can't see me'. Her father, a masive black dragon going by the name of Namius looked at his daughter. He wasn't glaring daggers like it looked like. He just watched her so she wont jump out of the cave.

Her mother, a black dragon with white imprints was caring for her brothers and sisters. Just when Annabeth thought nobody was looking, she slipped out of the cave. The golden sun shone down on her black pelt and her white markings stopped glowing. The dragon was enjoying this.

Annabeth walked the trail down the mountain being too young to jump. Anna stopped to regain her breath. She could hear the desperate cried of her father and imagined her mother's ears glued to her head. Anna giggled at this thought (That evil little...) and continued her journey.
---
Annabeth finally reached down. She had aged one month, and now learned how it is to be all alone. Her parents gave up on searching for her. She was all alone. Her heart felt...empty. Like an empty egg shell. No baby in there. Just empty. A tear fell down her cheek, followed by many others. Why, oh why did she ran from home?

Sapphire~14th~Two thousand
Hello...journal thing. I'm Anna. Its been six months since I left home. I became cold, harsh, and very very hurt. Everyone in my way seems to be avoiding me, but I don't know why...
----
Sapphire~15th~Two thousand.
Hello..Again. I-Iknow why people have been avoiding me. I-I h-have this mean look, and I-I could crush bones with my claws. W-why are they so afraid? Why
----
Mercury~23th~Two thousand
I guess hey. I've been traveling for 2 months straight. It's getting cold. I think I spotted some black fur here in the mountains, but I guess its my mind. I'm sorry for ending so abruptly, but something knocked on my window and I need to see!
----
Mercury 27th Two Thousand.
I keep spotting black fur. I swear if I see it one more time I'm going after it.
----
Gemstone 29th Two Thousand.
It was a cat! She was cold, so she kept visiting her den and me. She thought I was lonely. I learned her name in time. She's Chrisa. I've decided. Since she isn't afraid of me, I'll follow and protect her, and I hope she will do the same for me. Bye diary! See you next year!

Would it be acceptable for me to make a clay sculpture of the character i want, and upload it to the computer instead of drawing a picture? or does it have to be a drawing?
