1) Please be nice. This event is meant to be fun! You don't have to be painting at the level of the Mona Lisa nor in the Pokemon blog community to join. If you have Pokemon OCs and you want to draw fun art as a gift for someone, join!
Added note: your art piece does NOT have to be digital art! It can be traditional! As long as it's something that can visually be observed it's acceptable! This includes: self-made plushies, clay sculpts, colored pencil drawings, acrylic paintings, etc.
** This much should be obvious (and it hasn't been an issue so far but I feel still should be stated to be safe) AI IS NOT ACCEPTED. Generative AI for references, gifted artwork, etc is NOT ALLOWED and will result in an immediate and PERMANENT ban from this event.
2) Please do not join if you don't feel you can complete your gift art in the allotted time.
3) Those who are bigoted, racist, LGBTQ+ phobic or similar are NOT welcome. This blog is one about love. We DO NOT welcome those who are hateful.
4) If something comes up and you need to drop out, that's ok! But please let us know with plenty of time (at LEAST 48 hours) so we can message a pinch hitter to help out!
5) Please don't submit nsfw art for art references or for your finished art piece. (Nude references are fine as long as they are not explicit.) This is a family friendly event. You will be blacklisted from participating again should you violate this rule in any way.
***When submitting reference links, if the images are a Google drive link PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure the link is accessible to anyone who has it! We've had multiple issues in the past where artists were not able to access references which led to delays. MAKE SURE YOUR REFERENCES ARE FULLY ACCESSIBLE!!!***
Reminder: You do not have to be part of the Pokeask Community! As long as you have a Pokémon OC of some sort, you are welcome to join!
If you have any questions, please feel free to privately message a mod here (@/secretluvdisc) or @/DuskffyArt on discord!
