Would like to know this as well.
Did a bird for air element - but I worried it may be too like the Cinersi so I did a saurian version as well in exactly the same pose and style - can I enter both versions of the same concept or just the one?

You're only allowed to enter one each, so choose wisely. You can edit your post until the deadline (but not afterwards), though, if you want to change the concept you are submitting.

I'm a really bad drawer but I'm going to give this a shot. I'm going to assume that you can't have a friend with better drawing abilities redraw your picture. How much will be judged on drawing skill?

If we're entering for both creatures do we make two separate threads or one thread for both of the entries?

Separate is preferred, to help sort entries so we don't lose track.

I'd like to know this as well. x3 Since my drawings are extremely not all that detailed as I don't know how to do that but I do have a friend who is capable of doing so (and is willing to let me use what she draws for my wind creature with keeping the same basic idea I had - she's taking the earth creature probably >.>). XD

Also, I would like to know if we might be able to add onto the creature. Like... can we have three sets instead of two sets of wings or more legs like four-legged (with talons) instead of two talons?

And could I change the name/idea of the species so long as it retains the same basic ideas/shape I had entered for it already?

The drawing must be your own.

You must stay within the boundaries of the physical requirements, in this case: 2 sets of wings, 2 tails and 2 talons. Embellishing with other physical traits such as: horns, spikes, stripes, feathers, bones, gems, gold, etc is welcome. Things like adding another set of wings, a pair of hooves... these break the design that was assigned. The design never stated how many (heads) the creature has, however.

Names and Ideas (and Artwork) may be changed up until the deadline - please edit your existing thread as you see fit.

See above middle question.

I don't see why. She's giving permission for me to use her art and she's using my idea but making it more detailed... besides, you guys do it sometimes. Somebody else makes a base and someone else colors it (like the Atramentum, made by DarrkestDrow, edited by Munin... or the Cymatil Semean, Xenomorph did the lines (I do the lines) and Lazuli colored them (and she's doing the coloring)). I don't see why we can't basically do the same... I provided the lines/base, she just added details/colors.

Neh, oh well... I'm not going to 'argue' with admins here in a thread so don't mind me. Simply stating an opinion here, not to mention I'd rather not get the banhammer. :/

In any case, I know it's not based entirely on artistic merit but I know some of it is and mine barely has any artistry to it. Is there anyway to take out my entry?

We don't ban people for having opinions or disagreeing with us. But for this contest, we want to see your own original work even if you're not the most artistically talented person. If you really want to remove your entry, you can edit the post to do so. I hope you'll consider staying in the contest.
