This is a coloring contest, so color away! Rules 1. Read all the Instructions. I know it's a pain, but please do. There is no codeword, I am trusting you all to read these. 2. you may not make the lineart unrecognizable. You may change it some, but please make it at least resemble the original lineart. 3. No copying anyone else 4. No being mean - to other people, or to your own entry. No putting yourself down! 5. Credit me for the lineart. (just humor me and my paranoia on this, okay?) 6. Have fun doing this! CCs are supposed to be fun, not a chore! Tips 1. effort. Filling in all the stray pixels, taking your time, definitely makes it better. 2. background. While I will mostly be judging on the coloring of the cat, backgrounds DEFINITELY help. (which is why my complete inability to draw backgrounds annoys me) it doesn't have to be 'good,' any background at all gives me context and a better feel to it 3. shading. Definitely shows effort, and ability to imagine the physical shape of something flat. I find it impressive, anyways. Not required, but good to do. 4. Use a different program. You don't have to, but it makes it a lot easier to get the look you want, so I'd suggest it. There are some free ones to download, such as FireAlpaca or MediBang Paint, and I know there are some free online ones too. 5. Add a story! While I will mostly be judging on the coloring, I love good stories too. It doesn't have to be well-written either, just being there gives me some context~ 6. cool designs. The cat doesn't have to be realistic. It can be realistic, or unrealistic. But one thing I LOVE is cool designs~ makes my day whenever I see an awesomely designed OC. 7. Add a song! Pick one that fits, pick one that sounds cool, pick one you like - pick any song! (I really love music XD whether it's relevant or not) not sure if it'll effect my judging or not I am really weird, so do whatever, really. Due date: to be determined Prizes: not sure yet, suggestions for prizes are welcome. Probably along the art-requests/follows line, but I'm not sure.
For a story: This is Elizabeth. She and the other flying cats live up in the mountains. One day she got curious of the world below, why didn't they have wings too? She flew down into a farm with her kittens to check it out. Suddenly the farmer came out with a gun and killed her three kittens. He didn't know what they were and why they were there. Soon the word got out about the winged cats, and it was all Elizabeth's fault. Here she is sitting in a tree mourning over the loss of her kittens. It's a little bit sloppy but okay....
