minimum Requirements
- 2 Comic Panels
- 50% of your Character is visible in at least one panel and is fully colored.
- The submission follows the prompt
Characters should have about half of their body and features visible. The way you crop your character is flexible as long as they are identifiable as your character! Usually you want to include a small portion of their head or face.
- Crederians will have different requirements based on the side of their tails, hair, or other extremeties, so feel free to ask if you're unsure over at the Crederia Discord!
Your Crederian's face does not need to be visible but we discourage posting just the back half of a Crederian for your focal character.

Backgrounds
Backgrounds in comics are more lenient, with No backgrounds being required to earn the standard reward. Backgrounds are eligable to earn the general or detailed awards with the same ruleset as standard prompt extries with the notable exception that General elements can be very simple to still earn the reward!
establishing Background
+1 Coin per panel
A background that gives minimal information to let the viewer know where your characters are!
- Anything beyond a solid color or abstract gradient.
General Background
+5 Coins per panel
General backgrounds developed and offer more information of the environment. Light and shadow come into play alongisde lightly defined elements.
- At least 5 Clear elements.
- There are 2 out of 3 planes (foreground, middleground, background)
- Image does not contain much blurring or obscured detail.
Detailed Background
+10 Coins per panel
Detailed backgrounds immerse the character in an illustration that includes depth alongside light, shadow, and a higher level of detail.
- At least 10 Clear unique elements
- 5 of these should fall under the Detailed category.
- like-items will be counted together.
- Should contain Foreground, Middleground, and Background.
- Must contain shading that wraps appropriately around objecs and interacts with the environment.
- Character should be interacting with the environment.
Background elements
- The "elements" of a background are categorized as the individual or groups of details added to a piece like a path, trees, flowers, or rocks.
- Each type of element is counted as a group (i.e. trees, flowers, grass, rocks, etc) and are slotted into one of the three detail categories based on the level of detail they contain.
- If your elements are highly distinct or used as significantly different elements (having multi-flora growing along the fields while a character drags a wagon full of unrelated flowers for example) they may be counted separately.
Establishing & General |
Detailed |
|---|---|
|
Elements in the left column contain very little detail and are often solid shapes of color stacked heavily atop one another. Elements in the middle column define the shapes with minimal line or simple, blocky shadows, but lack depth or detail. Simple gradients, or blobs of color are laid down without too much refinement. Textures are simple and may not follow the form or shape of an object. Both of these are applicable to both Establishing and General backgrounds and will be counted towards the latter if found in a panel |
Detailed Elements contain line, shadow, and multiple colors to refine and add depth. Textures are defined and work with shadow and light. Shading contains multiple colors or layers and wrap around objects clearly. |
Examples
2 Panels + 50% of Character: Base 5
Shaded Focus Character: +2
Establishing Background x2: + 2
Total: 9 Coins
A two-panel comic with establishing backgrounds for both panels. The character is cropped below the fullbody bonus but does gain the shaded bonus.
by Phloxe
2 page Comic for one submission.
First 2 Panels + 50% of Character = Base 5
Bonus Panels x10 = 20
Establishing Background x10 = 10
General Background x1 = 5
Extra Crederian x1 = 3
Fullbody Bonus x2 = 4
Total: 47 Coins
Panels are varied in shape and size, with clear backdrops of the sky and ground which all count towards our Establishing Backgrounds. The abscract shapes on the second page with the three hands do not count as Establishing. The General Background is awarded to the first panel, where the amount of elements fits the criteria. (Multiple planes with Ground, Grass, Ocean, Mountain Range, and a developed skyl (sun and clouds).
