[Updated] Black Pearl Clarification
By Retired breeder, 24th February 2021 19:06:07
Yes, plenty of people submit different colors of the same coats at the same time. It's totally fine.
|
I was wondering... The rule about plagiarism, does that mean i cannot submit one coat with a brown horse and then another with the same horse but in a different coat color? If i made the horse myself? How do they know i made it myself? And can they see the name of the submissions? Because then they can see that i submitted both. What you are describing is generally called cloning, and while it's generally looked down upon a lot of players do it (including me ) and it's perfectly fine so long as its from the same player or if the player gave special permission for someone else to use it. Sometimes you'll see coats that look similar but are from different players, and that's usually because another person made a lineart that everybody can use, or is in the Creative Commons. However, if you manipulated a normal image, even if it was your own, that can be really bad. Players can easily spot the plagiarized images from the internet, or even using reverse image searching to tell that a person didn't make it themselves.

(also sorry for my bad grammar )

Mine keeps saying that it does not use the compulsory format, even though it does... Any help?
|
Never mind, I figured it out Sorry!

Hello! I'm trying to submit a piece of work but when I try and put it in the model it's so pixelly you can hardly make it out! And I'm unable to draw inside the square as well for the same reason--it's like the ppi is at 10!. It's set at 400 x 400px with a 300ppi. I'm having this issue both on gimp and Krita. What do other people do to make their work not so blurry?

What do other people do to make their work not so blurry? It’s supposed to be very blurry like that, and it’s only acceptable if it is 300x300 pixels (within the model) at 72 ppi (I think) It should look normal if you zoom out to 100% on GIMP. As the coats are very small like that.

I was wondering, can I put my golden apple coat design on my online art portfolio, or would my coat then be seen as plagiarism? (Because it would probably turn up on a reverse image search, and it has not been published here yet)
And would it be a different scenario to wait till my design gets picked by Howrse, and that I would put it in my art portfolio, afterwards?

can anyone please help me regading that fanart rule?
I was thinking i might do to a white horse black mustaches that looks like Salvador Dali's... so sth like that: or is this considered as fanart or sth else that goes against rules? |

In my opinion, it would not be considered fanart as it's more inspired if anything else, plus some horses can have mustaches like that irl (pic on the right), so I wouldn't be concerned.

Quick question!
I‘ve never submitted a GA coat and I use Procreate to draw potential coats. I heard that most of you guys use gimp or photoshop. Is it even possible to submit a coat that is drawn on Procreate?

Quick question! I‘ve never submitted a GA coat and I use Procreate to draw potential coats. I heard that most of you guys use gimp or photoshop. Is it even possible to submit a coat that is drawn on Procreate? Yes! So long as the background is transparent, it fits in the model and has no other issues.

@nash12 , is it normal that the image saves itself with a white background, even though originally, it had a transparent background?

How do you get to it?

Hey there, I have a small problem
It says that I‘m not using the compulsory format, even though I did. I placed it on a 400x400 pixel canvas und put my coat inside and no pixel from the drawing was on the template. What should I do?

No it is not normal that your drawing should save with a white background, it should be transparent and PNG Your drawing has to be 300x300 px and fit nearly inside the model provided by Howrse, otherwise it won’t read your drawing properly. If you’re still having trouble you can pm me the drawing and I can format it for you.

Hi, quick question!
How do I use/download the template from Black Pearl? I'm doing a Golden Apple coat. I've tried copying the template, but in my drawing software the space where the coat should go turns black. Is it normal, or am I doing something wrong? |

Sometimes it might turn black if your drawing application does not support transparency. Which program are you using?

I use Clip Studio Paint

I use Clip Studio Paint I think that one supports transparency from what I've seen online. Otherwise, if you want to try downloading it just right click and then click "Save image as" If you're still having problems you can also pm me with the picture of your artwork and I can format it for you!

Hi guys, I am having the same problem as many others in the thread.
My GA coat is 300 x 300 at 72dpi, transparent PNG with the frame included and not being obstructed by anything, etc etc, but is still said to not be the compulsory format. Would anyone be willing to take a look at my file and tell me what I've done wrong? I've tried it with many different ppi and sizes and nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss and disappointed that the effort I put in might go to waste
