What is the type of subject?

Options · Additive

What subject are you evaluating for. One of this criteria should be added for each subject in the piece you are evaluating. Object and Environment should only be used if they are the only subject in your drawing.

Options:

Object

The drawing is primarily of an object, for example, food, accessories, technology, furniture, you name it. This option should only be used if objects are the only subjects in your drawing.

Animal

This includes Digi's, HoloBOTs, PIX-E, or other animals.

People

100

Includes HoloBUDDIES, AW0005, and Physical Realm People

Environment

500

This includes any depictions of the City, The Burrow, houses or buildings.
This should only be added for images with no people in them, and is intended to be used in combination with the "Art [Extras]" Criteria.

Linework

Options · Multiplicative

Is it a sketch or is it a more polished piece?

Options:

Sketch

Includes messy line work, often includes construction lines, or stray marks.

Using Base

When you use someone else's line work (with permission) as the basis for your own work

Line art / Finished

1.5

Clean line work, or works that don't contain any lines but have clear divisions between shapes

Color

Options · Additive

This includes how clean your color is, and whether you've included shading or rendering

Options:

No Color

No Color or only a single color has been applied to the work.
This may include works that have had a gradient or pattern overlay applied.
Does not include monochrome coloring.

Rough Color

Color is messy, sketchy, or spilling out of bounds. May also include works where only parts have been colored.

Clean Color

100

Color doesn't spill outside of the bounds, or have uneven lines.
Includes pieces with small amounts of single color shading. If shading is applied to the entire piece then it should be graded as shaded.

Monochrome coloring does count for this category.

Shading

300

Some amount of shading has been added to the piece.
This includes Cel Shading, more limited shading in only a few places of the work, without completely covering it, etc. More complex or multi-tone shading is more likely to fall into the "Painted" category.

Painting

600

Color is applied in a painterly way, either by traditional painting or rendering

Amount of Character Depicted

Options · Multiplicative

This is regardless of style, or anatomical proportions.

Options:

Object / Environment

Select this if your subject is an object or environment

Headshot / Bustshot

This includes up to just under a characters shoulders, or 25% of a character.

Half Body

1.5

This include up to the waist of a character, or 50% of a character

Fullbody

Works that contain the entirety of a character, or more than 75% of a character

How many Subjects?

Number Input · Multiplicative

This should only include subjects of the type established in the first dropdown, and can be used when submitting multiple very similar pieces.

Accessory Bonus

Number Input · Additive

Input value is multiplied by 50

If your character owns an accessory item in their inventory, and you include it in your art or writing of them, you get a 50cc bonus!

To qualify the accessory does need to be somewhat prominently featured in the piece. For art this means it needs to be easily identifiable as the accessory, and not just a small portion peeking behind other parts of the piece. For writing, while extreme descriptions of the accessory aren't necessary, it should still have more than a passing mention, with characters either focusing on the item in some way in the story, or by being described in the process of setting a scene.
