Rules:

1) Choose one fantastic creature to pixel that will represent you in our collab. After your claim is finished and accepted, and you wish to have more fun with the collab, you are allowed to make a second entry to represent someone else, like someone close to you, who you would take on a group picture, but they can't pixel themselves. The list of claims will be stored here.

2) You are allowed to choose any creature from myths, legends and folklore, as long as it does not exist or existed in the real world. This means that modern myths and folklore like grey aliens or cryptids do count. Fantastic beasts invented for media like books, movies, games do not count. You can use a creature depiction from a modern media source if that creature was not invented, but copied and reused from already existing mythology. Grey aliens, elves, dragons, zombies, angels, cerbers, cyclops, ents, gigantic spider monsters do count. Humans, real dogs, documented dinosaurs, do not count, but neither are the xenomorphs, ewoks or klingons. You can go beyond humanoids and animals to plant or fungus monsters, but we prefer not to have just normal trees or flowers even if they are imaginary. Once you claim something it becomes unavailable for others to choose, since we want to have a library of unique creatures. We may allow variants if it will seem reasonable, for example western and eastern dragons, but not to the point of having black dragon, green dragon, golden dragon, red dragon, etc...

3) We are aiming for a similar style used in Animal Atlas - "relaxed realistic". You can check the gallery on Wepixel. It is pretty open to stylisation. Don't forget to use the "white" outline.

4) The canvas size restrictions are the same as in Animal Atlas. We use 32x32px blocks to make our rectangle canvases. The smallest is 32x32px (for creatures like a pixie), and the largest 160x160px (for dragons), while humanoid creatures should use 64x128px (vertical). Generally an elf is taller than a dwarf, who is taller than a hobbit. Try to adjust your canvas size to the creature sizes already in the collab so we get as little problematic scale relations as possible. Always consult your canvas size with mods before starting.

5) You have to use one of the two available palettes (don't mix them):

Eris18 palette by Morganne - for those drawn to saturated colors that evoke a magical atmosphere, this palette enhances the character with richness and fantasy.

CerbeREOs palette by Reo  - if you prefer muted, more natural tones for your character, this palette offers a subtle and grounded look.

6) You have one month to finish your piece, but you have to provide a WiP within the first week to keep your claim.

7) We will not allow any creatures or gods which depiction in such collab could be found offensive by contemporary cultures or religions, and we give ourselves the right to remove such entry from the collab, if such case will be discovered after we accepted the piece.

8) Rules may be precised or changed slightly in the future to avoid problems we could not predict before launching the collab, but if that happens, it will not affect already accepted entries.
