Leave it flat colors and inks-only. Our artists will custom-shade all winnning entries to match the Flight Rising styleguide* [/LIST][/indent] [indent][b]Do not use textures, photographs, or brushes you did not create:[/b] [LIST] [*]We don't want unlicensed stock used in our submissions, and for a contest entry to win, it must match the Flight Rising style guide. This means crisp colors and smooth gradiant transitions. While painterly brushwork is beautiful and a joy to behold, it would stick out amidst our other familiars. Using too much texture in your brush strokes or using stock will disqualify your entry** [/LIST][/indent] [indent][b]No copyrighted characters / logos.[/b] [LIST] [*]As great as the movies, comics, video games, television, and stories we consume are, it's not very courteous to use someone's creation without permission! Original content only please. :) [/LIST][/indent] *Familiars are a more official part of the Flight Rising website, and conform to a strict style guide. While we allow a greater degree of creativity and expression of style with our skins, for familiars the familiar must match with the rest of our website. To give as many entries as possible a chance to win, we're making this a coloring contest only - no lighting or shading needed! **You could use strong brushwork and textures if you simply want to color and share your creation and do not mind being disqualified.

1 entry total. There's a limited amount of winning slots (moreso than the skin contests even) so we want to keep the entries to one per person.

[quote name="CrystalBlackpaws" date="2014-06-20 23:13:00"]I'm assuming the "No Shading" rule applies to eye shadows as well?[/quote] @CrystalBlackpaws You are allowed to do color shifts and patterns that don't look too texturey. For the eyes though, I would not apply shading to them beyond a gradiant (our artists will be applying a multiply layer in the FR style above all winning entries.) Moving from the submissions thread: [quote name="Winterfaux" date="2014-06-20 23:10:19"]Is that one entry per familiar?[/quote] @Winterfaux One entry total
