February/March Open Fic and Art Submission!!
Tobi-han blasts in with his great sense of adventure. I wonder what he'll bring to the Colors Universe? :)
For each character's designs, please visit the
website.
Art
The characters want decks of themselves!! Mikan-tan's the only one who has her own deck at the moment. I'm also looking to make banners for different posts and the website much like what I did for
Recycled Art, so do draw more of these characters! :D
Guidelines for submitting art:
♥ Your artwork must be of Akai-san, Mikan-tan, Kou-kun, Midorin, Aoi-sama, Murasaki-dono, Tobi-han, or any combination of them!
♥ Your art must be in color.
♥ Your art must be at least 400 px wide (and will actually be resized to 400 px wide for the site, but larger images are always awesome since I might use them in other graphics such as site banners!).
♥ You must save your art as either a gif, png, or jpg.
♥ You may submit up to three pieces of artwork (you can submit more but will receive no rewards for them).
♥ Rewards are as follows:
-full body shot = 4 random cards, 1 random crayon
-upper body = 2 random cards, 1 random crayon
-two or more characters in the same shot = 4 random cards, 1 random crayon (regardless of whether or not we see all of them)
-4koma = 4 random cards, 1 random crayon (The whole thing doesn't need to be in color, but please at least have the characters in color!)

♥ Title of submission:♥ Description of submission: (If you'd like, I can put a short blurb underneath your submission on the site. Feel free to talk about your thoughts while drawing and other miscellaneous stuff.)
Fic
With only one character left to go, the Colors family is almost complete! :3
Guidelines:
♠ Your fic must be about Akai-san, Mikan-tan, Kou-kun, Midorin, Aoi-sama, Murasaki-dono, Tobi-han, or any combination of them together.
♠ Your fic must be at least 200 words long.
♠ Your fic must use one of the themes/situations below (even if it's in a very minor way)
♠ Post your fic directly as a comment. If your fic is longer than the character limit for comments, please reply to your first comment with the rest of the fic.
♠ You may submit up to three separate pieces. You may submit more, but you'll only receive rewards for 3 pieces.
♠ Rewards are as follows:
-over 200 words: 2 random cards, 1 random crayon
-over 500 words: 3 random cards, 1 random crayon
-over 1000 words: 4 random cards, 1 random crayon
When submitting your fic, please comment below, label the subject of your comment with FIC, and then use the form below.
♠ Your name:♠ # of submission: (how many pieces have you submitted?)
♠ Title of submission:♠ Word count:♠ Theme used:♠ Author notes: (not required~)
♠ The body of the fic: (please either post your fic directly in the comment, threading if you go over the character limit, or link me to a doc/txt/rtf version of the fic)
Themes:
Here are some themes and situations you can consider to jog your creativity. ;) They're optional for Art but required for Fic. You are also free to use themes from previous open fic and art submission posts! I find it hard to come up with 16 themes each time, so I'm now lumping Art and Fic themes together since it didn't make too much sense to me to separate them. (I was trying to come up with more "visual" themes for Art, but perhaps the themes for Art were inspiring for Fic and vice versa?) XD;
This month, we have a series of 8 themes that start with S~.
♥ Sakura petals
♥ School uniforms
♥ Salute
♥ Seeing is believing
♥ Swearing by...
♥ Sooner or later
♥ Silk
♥ Spring
This will close on March 23rd! A new round will go up after that so that we can have Gin-sensei included.
