[Creation Space] Black Pearl Clarification

The Black Pearl



You need at least 60 days of seniority and 5 karma points to use the Black Pearl.

We want to clarify a few points regarding the proposals for the Creation Space.


Golden Apple


Using shadows:

You can use shadowing, but please keep it very light so that the images will fit with most backgrounds.


Cut out your edges more:

When we place the coats on a dark background, in some cases, there are stray light colored pixels around the drawing. This makes it impossible to use on a dark background.
Take a look at your coat on a white and on a black background, to get rid of any leftover smudges or pixels. Also, look a little further away at just the outline. Often, the coats have a smudge around the corners or along the border of the image.


Use the smudge or blur tool sparingly:

It's a pity to see a coat that has been worked on and then filtered with a blur filter, and it comes out all smudgy. It's also a pity to see a coat with smudge marks on one side and not the other.


Be careful when reformatting an image:

Sometimes we get drawings of "sausage horses" because the file has been altered, and the horse has been squashed or pulled in another direction. Also, avoid making your resolution too low and giving the picture a pixel art look.



Helios' Ray


Using brushes is allowed:

They can be used, but not in excess.
Seeing the same tree used four times in different backgrounds is starting to feel a bit repetitive, and it's also unfair. Since the aim of the Creation Space is to create things with your own hands, not to make photo manipulations. The same thing goes for photos.


Painting, blurring or smudging landscape pictures:

This is prohibited, and going forward, we may permanently ban players from the Creation Space for this.


Check the perspectives:

Please remember that the horse needs something to stand on. It's rather unusual to see a picture of a beautiful pond in the background while the horse appears to be floating in the middle of it.

The same goes for outer space, clouds, etc. The background should be usable for everyone, not just the Pegasus. Also, make sure the horses won't look like giants in the middle of a forest when you draw trees or other items.



Rules


Plagiarism is forbidden:

Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own.
Respect the author's rights: don't steal images off the Internet; don't trace photos; don't use the basis of someone else if they have not given their authorization, preferably publicly.

You can draw inspiration from a style, a movement, or a coat without merely copying it. Use your imagination to express your unique personality and create something original.


Here's a quick recap of the things NOT to do in the Creation Space:

➞ Using 100% traced photos as a base for your work.
➞ Submitting AI-generated creations.
➞ Buying or selling a commission (purchased artwork).
➞ Drawing fanart (we don't ban players right away, but it could get us into trouble since we're monetizing it).

Players who submit an artwork not created by themselves, AI-generated, or plagiarized will be permanently banned from using the Black Pearl.

All the other rules still apply. Players who do not follow the rules are exposed to sanctions.



Before posting


On this topic you can:

➞ Learn more about the Black Pearl rules.
➞ Ask for help if you have difficulties to submit your creation.
➞ Post your work in progress and ask for artistic feedback.

On this topic you CAN'T:

➞ Send suggestions or feedback. Those should be sent directly to Customer Support.
➞ Post excessive steps regarding your work to avoid flooding the topic.

Phew, finally at the last stretch now. I need to learn to just stick to a design, kept changing how many balloons and where the ribbons will go and it takes me even longer when I don't have many references... Couldn't find any examples of a horse wearing a ribbon on its belly default smiley xd Will probably have it sent in tomorrow, and thank you all for the comments, just read them. I appreciate the feedback.

Also,
W O W what great artwork everyone !! I especially love your Kelpie design Foxi. and the detail on yours Aɴᴀɴkᴀ... just brilliant.
