i don't really ever enter contests that require tryout art since i don't want to buy art for a character that im not 100% sure im going to get? i'd rather spend it on the one's i already have or make it myself. i always found the concept of tryout art a bit silly.

it makes more sense for the judging to be focused more on what actually in the forms then how pretty they are but that's just my opinion tbh
At 5 Cuils, you ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the street a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children's laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound.
I give you a hamburger.

I agree with this.
If you are trying out for a free character, it should be more about the users connection/character development. Otherwise, a lot of users will spent a lot of time and money/points for art of a character that they wont get.

I think of it this way:
I am practically buying the character by spending money/points on this art, but not actually owning it in any way, shape, or form if i don't win.

Now,
MAKING your own tryout art, or contests that strictly say that you have to make the art is a different story. And i feel that those types should still be more based on development/connection more than art quality/quantity. Not all of us are Picasso >.>

-------

On an entirely different note,
I bought this handsome Final Fantasy character from Vaas a day or so ago.

by Vaas/drebbs
^^^ Right? i think it is ;A; correct me if i'm wrong!!!!

I have decided to name his Nox!

Do you remember Kiamaras from way back years ago? Well, they're now an easy going ARPG with a website and quests! Most quests have low entry requirements and have multiple tiers of rewards. There's also a free MYO for new users who don't have a Kia yet! There's also a discord for the community where you can ask for help with quests, chat with other users, and actively seek out Kias that are being traded and sold as well as new adopts!

If you're interested at all feel free to click the image above to be taken to the Kiamara website! If you want to join the discord at all, feel free to dm me and I can send you a link to it.

Vaas is Pagan's current username, and Drebbs is their DA name ;owo

So they were correct!

Pagan Min is Graham/Vaas ;v; <3 he just changes his name often uwu

I don't usually buy tryout art myself. I mean sure if it's like say a "Impress me competition I go all out but when you get tryout art you're always taking a chance that you'll lose. It's like that with any competition for a free adopt, there's always a chance even when you try your hardest.

So usually I just don't enter cause it's more stressful than anything else ;v;"
When I judge it's more about how much effort is in the form as a whole. How much the character actually stands out to me and like I can relate to. A story that pulls me in with a unique idea but also something where I don't get bored.

Of course art counts too when it's allowed, but I still look mostly at content without art. If you do effort and make a lot of art I take that into consideration too since you went out of your way to do it yourself rather than have someone do it for you uwu
