Okay, I've been thinking about putting her up for adoption for awhile now, as I've had some issues with her (that i'd rather not talk about), which have made it difficult to really connect with her. Plus, I think others could love her more than I can.
This will be a different sort of contest! Instead of simply being "impress me" or just "art", I wanted to give more people a more equal and better chance of winning, even if they don't have a lot of practice in one field or enough funds.
Notes:
- She is currently single, so nothing there c:
- Art and previous info: http://xerberus.weebly.com/jaime.html
- She's bred twice, although I've disconnected her previous family from her (you're free to "connect" them again, though, but you'd have to ask the owners of her "kids".)
- Her previous name was Jaime, but you're more than welcome to change it! It won't affect judging at all c:
Form:
Delete things in brackets!
How it works:
So, I decided that I wanted to do a point-based system for this.
Now, there's multiple ways you can earn points, so don't feel like if you can't do one thing, you can't stand a chance!
Because there's a point system that can slightly vary according to how someone sees it, I will be asking a few people for help judging certain ones, so I'll try my best to make this as fair as possible!
You can do ALL METHODS!!

You can do ALL METHODS!!
Method One --> Art!
Of course, there's always art.
Here's the catch! There's a limit of 5 pieces of art! (I'll raise it if enough people hit the limit~) It has to be by you, though! You're free to do a collab with someone, though, but at least 50% of the drawing has to be by you (so don't just be like "i'll draw an eye" and they do the rest pls)
For each piece you do, it will be "worth" a certain amount of points, according to what's in it.
I should probably mention that you're allowed to order art or get art by others, in your form, but it just won't count towards your point score 'v'
Basic Points:
+ 1 point :: Headshot / bust
+ 3 points :: Fullbody
+ 10-40 points :: Animated (depends on complexity, like blinking vs walking. Feel free to ask about this.)
+ 5 points :: Coloured
+ 10 points :: NEATLY shaded (Not too harsh on this, just show some effort c:)
+ 20 points :: Scenery background (something like a field, forest, etc, not just a solid colour or gradient/pattern!)
+ 7 points :: per extra fullbody Plumerian
(will add more if I think of any! Feel free to suggest some c:)
"Extra" Points:
These will be a bit more "biased", as it requires opinions! Don't feel too pressured on this
+ 1-10 points :: Creative pose
+ 1-15 points :: Amount of detail
+ 1-10 points :: Uniqueness (i.e. colours used, textures, theme/style)
+ 1-20 points :: Personality
Method Two --> Writing!
Here's the writing part! There's different sections, with a word limit in each (well appreciated if you put the word count at the bottom). You're not required to do every part, or even the parts in order-- that's up to you! You can also write in different ways, like in a poem or story-- no bullet points, though!
Pick one from each!! Be sure to tell not only what happens, but the personality of the Plumerian and how that situation effected them.
Section 1: Prompt (75 word maximum)
- Most Distinct (positively) Physical Trait (something that's really noticeable, but in a positive way)
- Secret Personality Trait (a little secret side to them!)
- Relationship with Animals (how do they feel about animals?)
Section 2: Getting Deeper (200 word maximum)
- First Memory
- Most Prized Possession
- Least Favourite Activity (what do they hate doing?)
- Meeting a New Friend (can be a made up character or an existing Plumerian-- be sure to ask permission!)
Section 3: Hidden Secrets (300 word maximum)
- Guilty Pleasure (please stay CS appropriate!)
- Worst Fear
- Ultimate Weakness
I'll be grading these on a scale of 1-10 for each, 10 being the best, 1 being the worst, in each category.
Categories are:
- Uniqueness/Creativity
- Flow (how well does it go together)
- Personality (how much personality does the writing show (not tell))
- Diction / Grammar / Spelling (I'm not gonna be too picky, don't worry!)
Method Three --> Compliments!
Alrighty, here's where it gets fun! So, I've wanted to do a little something different, to promote compliments and nice things in the community. You'll be getting points for each well-written compliment/response to a user, in the community!
You'll get +2 points for each compliment! There's a maximum of 50 points earned from this, total!
Counts if:
- Specific to a user:
Something like "nice art", wouldn't count! Now, something that would = "Nice art! I really love how your style compliments the markings of the Plumerian!" Basically something that would take more than 5 seconds to think/write 'v'
- Isn't "cookie-cut":
Don't say the same thing to each user! Try to be unique!
- Is nice:
This should be explanatory-- just be nice! That also means don't be passive aggressive, either.
- Can be responses from the FC!
You're more than welcome to link to things you've said in the FC (after this has been posted) that counts! Just link me to the post, and change the text to say the response! (Ex. [url=URL HERE]Response Here[/url])
Method Four --> Guessing Game!
Alright, this one is simple!
Just guess these with what you think is the answer!! There is most likely more than one correct answer for each!
You can get +1 point for each correct answer! For questions asking for more than one answer, you get +1 for each correct answer. (ex. the first question asks for two, so for each one right, you get one, with a total of 2 possible points for that question)
