Walking home after a long day at the local brick wall factory, you notice a red and white dragon that seems to be pacing back and forth in front of Komodo's manor, a ponderous look on his face. As you get closer, he notices you and turns to meet you in a slow gait, giving a welcoming smile as he does so. "Hello again!” You greet him back, waving slightly. It’s Ignis, of course, Chief of the city’s fire department. You’ve gotten to know him well over the months you’ve lived here, as have many others. A lot of little incidents can happen with so many fiery Pixpets running around, especially with that new Giraffira everyone seems so interested in. "Good to see you around here,” he continues, smiling. “I’ve been wondering what to do about something, some exciting news that I need help to get around." Ignis shifts around slightly, reaching into a bag strapped across his back. He pulls a neat stack of single-sheet fliers from within, keeping some for himself and handing you the rest. "After six months of campaigning, I finally got approval from our leader over there, Komodo, to try and create a Pixpet. He was hesitant at first—understandable, I’m no biologist or geneticist after all—but eventually he came to see how it could benefit everyone." He laughs loudly, prompting a few others to venture over as he keeps going. "He insisted I needed to avoid making an invasive species, as everything about the world we and the Pixpets live in is designed to blend in... even the evolutions!" You and he start handing out the forms, which a quick look-over tells you contain blank Pixdex entries, to everyone present. "Of course, the created Pixpet’s real origin will be replaced by one of Komodo’s design for whoever’s Pixpet gets chosen." He seems confused at your surprise, before chuckling to himself. "I guess I forgot the best part! Everyone gets to submit an idea... think of it like a competition of sorts. Nothing can compare to the caretakers’ imagination in this community, especially when it comes your homes." Having handed out his fliers, Ignis starts to walk away, looking back as he goes. "I have to get back to work now. I hope to see an idea from everyone, knowing one of them will come to life! If anyone can make a pixpet, it will be you bunch!" With that, he flies away, leaving you to your own thoughts and designs. As you might have figured so far, this special event is about designing your very own Pixpet! This might be the only time the event ever happens, so do give it a go regardless if you think your design will win or not. As for the event itself, you will be creating a design or evolution (or even a devolution) to be added into the game! Ground Rules: *Everyone is able to enter! (Besides the judges of course.) *Only one entry per person with group entries being disallowed. Multiple entries will result in all of your entries being disqualified. *Designs must adhere to the Pixpet Guidelines *Designs must obviously not be copyrighted work, and do remember all Pixpet characters belong to Komodo. *Design is the most important part, drawing talent is nice but not required to enter or win. *The contestant agrees (by entering the contest) that the final product is full property of the pixpet.net owner company. However, the species idea/design credit will be given out in the game. The winner for this competition will be chosen by three judges, who will be scoring in three categories on a scale of 1-10. The judges will not be scoring on the quality of any art visuals submitted. Categories: *Creativity: This category will be a rating of how well your design manages to make do with the limitations placed on it, but still remain interesting. *Uniqueness: This category will be a rating of how well your design stands out compared to already existing Pixpets. You can design an amazing Easter bunny, but we already got one. *Harmony: This last category is about how well your design fits within the Pixpet universe and how it feels like it belongs. Prizes: *1st: A copy of your Pixpet egg, an event badge, and a exclusive item themed around the created Pixpet. *2nd: 100 Pix Tickets and a blueprint *3rd: 50 Pix Tickets and possibly a Giant Pencil Submissions: *Due Date: August 2nd, 2019 *Fill this entry form (Leads to a word document of the form) *Just fill out the form as it explains, from references to blocks of text. *Submit entries to pixpetblueprint@gmail.com. Special Thanks: Phoenix for making the prizes. BK47, Jelly, and Wayvern for all the last minute help. Chicken Raptor for helping with the story. JohnVGMC, and Silver for dealing with me the 7 hours trying to make it all work. Jaden for the great header. Komodo, for letting me do something interesting with my Patreon reward. | |

Although this article refers to copyright law in the U.S., it does mention principles that might be extended to the similar laws of Switzerland, and the lack of any legal text in the announcement post (which are referenced in the Promotions segment of the Terms and Conditions) means that it doesn't seem to explain how the exact transfer of copyright will occur from the creator of the design to the site. Additionally, some sites have brought up the possible ethical questions that may arrise from spec contests, none of which are addressed in this thread. If I were to participate I would need to hear more about exactly how my rights are being handled, especially given the lack of direct monetary compensation. | |

I'm absolutely out of the art ground Please, if possible, Iwould like you to explain what you exactly call as a detailed description. I can even think on an anatomical description, but I certainly got a bit confused trying to make a mental guideline of a desirable entry. | |

Wondering the same thing. Since it's got a dex image on the form, I'mma assume it has to be digital. @-@ Wish ya luck to you and to everyone else! | |

I can even think on an anatomical description, but I certainly got a bit confused trying to make a mental guideline of a desirable entry. Well, if you want to describe exact measurements and the details down to the groove of a claw, go ahead. What I meant is this contest is designed to let others who have no drawing ability enter by describing tier designs instead. When I say detailed, just think it as trying to explain the idea to someone else so they can picture the design themselves. @dragontamer1990 Images are only for refence, so digital vs pixel does not matter. Just whatever you feel best gets your idea across. | |
