Design a Character For the User Above You ( DACFTUAY ), Version 3.0

Due to the old thread having an inactive user and it getting a little out of hand, I have received permission from a moderator to create a new one ᏊˊꈊˋᏊ! Hopefully this will be the last version, as I do plan to keep an eye out on this thread daily ( Hopefully I can manage! ) ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨

Quote from Rules

Please refrain from tracing, stealing another person's artwork, heavily referencing to the point that it shares great similarities to the work you were referencing ( Note: Referencing is ok, as long as they don't look almost exactly identical to the piece you took inspiration from ), or the use of a base that isn't you own.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• You will be skipped.
• You will not be able to make another claim, until you redo your traced / stolen / heavily referenced work. One that is actually done by you in a fair manner.

Please include effort into your work. As such, you must avoid the following:
• Sloppy coloring.
• Unfinished work of art that results to missing a limb. An example would be the common mistake of the design missing some legs. ( This is only ok if the claim had requested for the character to have a missing limb )
• Lack of fullbody. The design CANNOT be a halfbody, nor a headshot. It 100% needs to be a fullbody, as you are designing a character, not making a commission.
• Only using grayscale. You cannot work on a drawing that has lack of coloration, unless either the claim requested for monochromatic colors or the fusion / theme resulted to this particulare color palette.
• Colors outside of the line.
• Rushing your artwork. Please take more than just an hour to finish your piece.
• Lack of completed details.
This does not include the person's style of art ( Unless said person is doing this on purpose. Like trying to design a claim as a stick figure ), as everyone is on a different skill level. So please avoid being destructively critical towards the artist.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• You will not be able to make another claim, not until you fix your art piece to become cleaner / well-drawn / granted a fullbody / typically not rushed.

The maximum amount of claims you can take is two. You cannot claim any further, unless you've completed the others first.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• You will be skipped.

If you've given the completed design to someone via private message, then you must say so by editing the post with the statement or contacting me / the other mods of the thread about it. However, you must keep in mind that we WILL contact the user that you've sent the design to, simply to make sure that they've genuinely received the design and that you weren't lying.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• If you are caught lying the second time, there will be an immediate ban.

You will have approximately two weeks to finish a claim. If you do not finish at around that time frame, then you will be given a warning. If you ignore the message that informs you about your warning for a full week without response ( And I will make sure to check and see your online activity, before determining this. Mostly considering that not everyone is capable of being online everyday and may take some time for them to take notice. So this will only be determined after I see the person had been online. I'll know via userlist ).
If you cannot complete a claim throughout that time period, due to work or school, then please inform me or one of DACFTUAY mods about it. You will be granted more time by at most sixteen days ( Previously I chose to have an extra week granted. Now the person will receive more time ). Life takes priorities and I greatly understand the matter. If you're someone who is particularly shy or afraid to state that you need more time ( While including the reason why ), then that is ok. You can edit your post to include that statement. We will eventually take notice and allow it.
HOWEVER... I will advise to not ask for extra time on the final day. It will be deemed suspicious, as it is seen of you wishing to prolonged your limiting time and possibility wanting to waste other people's time.
Another thing: If you are already aware that you have a lot on your plate and cannot work on a claim, then please do not create a post and claim someone post. I highly suggest to only work on a claim if you know you have the time to work on it.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• You will be banned if you chose to ignore your warning after a certain time period and still chose to not finish your claim: You will be banned

Please include more than one idea as an option to your claim. This is simply in case someone is unable to draw the design you want or have struggles on certain points of the design. Example is you make a claim but only requested for a Giratina / Lunala fusion. No one takes your claim, due to the complexity of the fusion you wanted. Not only will you not be able to receive the design you wanted, but you've also brought a temporary halt onto this thread.
Only exception to this rule is if you ask "Draw me anything" or "Draw me [[ Insert Pokemon ]], that can be any theme or fusion", or similar responses along those lines.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.

Your account must be three months and older to be able to participate in this thread. This is simply to avoid multi-accounters from making multiple claims and can't suffer the consequences, due to not having anything to lose to begin with. And it doesn't have to solely have to be a multi-accounter. It could also be a devious user, just trying to claim designs and not doing anything in return.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• Your claim will not be valid, as your account is less than three months. Hence will be ignored and pass on to the person above you.

Once you've made a claim, you have to wait through 2-3 posts ( They have to be other people claim posts. Not questions or spam ) before you can do another claim. This is to prevent someone being claimed by the same person over and over again, or even someone just wanting to do claims at a short amount of time. This is also to encourage to give other people, old or new, a chance to work on someone claim.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• You will be skipped.

To prevent people from getting away with taking claims and not doing anything in return, basically becoming disrespectful to those people who worked for them in this thread: You will not be able to claim any form of art from the person below you ( This means you cannot download and upload the image somewhere else, like Toyhou.se for example ), until you have completed a claim from the person above you first.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a warning.
• If done this the second time, you will receive an immediate ban.

Do not disrespect the people who moderates this thread. This should be an easy enough rule to understand

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will receive a ban. There is zero toleration to those who disrespects and have a foul attitude to those who moderate this thread.

You cannot participate if you are on the thread's owner blocklist.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• You will be reported by the moderator of this website, as you will be breaking rule 1.2.

Please understand that I may not be able to constantly keep track of the thread 24/7. This is due to sometimes being busy with life, whether it be helping out my grandmother with stuff she needs help with ( Like grocery shopping or lifting heavy items up to her apartment for example ), busy with working on an art piece, or even feeling emotionally exhausted from my weekly appointment. So if you happen to see that someone had skipped out on their claims, had traced someone else artwork, causing issues, breaking the rules, and so on: Then please inform me or one of the thread mods privately about the issue. We will do our best to handle the situation accordingly.

What are the consequences if chosen to break this rule:
• This is just a notice to grant. So this technically isn't considered a breakable rule.

Three strikes and you are banned from this thread. Warnings are NOT temporarily. So you better be careful with your the choices you make, otherwise you will no longer be able to participate here.
Also note that some rules may grant you a ban BEFORE the three strike mark, depending on which one you decide to break. So best avoid causing trouble.

Those who are kind enough to help moderate this thread alongside me:
• Argentis

If you would like to help as well, please let me know

• Obvious laziness and lack of effort.

I've seen both threads ( Draw for the user above you and design a character for the user above you ) done this, so, uh... Since this is technically the first post, I guess we'll start things off with a claim of any Pokemon base on sweets 'v'?
