Healing Hearts Trial


Hh B 01 by Zwaa


There has been a rumor floating around. Quiet whispering in hushed tones only reaching the ears of those whose hearts have been closed off. It beckons them, pulls them to move on swift and silent paws to a place unknown. Many have already begun this arduous journey, moving across the land like a great storm. Now the time has come to make a choice;
Are you going to stay or go?

________________________________________________♥♥♥________________________________________________


Salutations and Welcome!


The Healing Hearts Trial is a very special opportunity here in the Evoloons group.
This is an opportunity to heal the heart of a traded/gifted Evoloon or an Evoloon who broke up with their heart bonded partner.
What does that mean? It means that they can earn upgrades!

________________________________________________♥♥♥________________________________________________


General Rules:


NewLook over the Visibility Rules before you start: Visibility Rules
There are several tasks to complete for your Evoloon to be able to heal their hearts and you must complete them all.

Each task has a different set of rules, so read thoroughly and double check so you don't end up having to re-do anything.

Each piece needs to identify which step it is in the title of the image. That way we know what's what.

You can only do this trial with an Evoloon you own.

You can do this trial for all your brokenhearted Evoloons at the same time.

If doing this trial with all your brokenhearted Evoloons: Some parts require separate entries for each Evoloon.

If your Evoloons heart is broken again after doing this trial, it will lose access to its magic and will need to do the trial again.

NewYour Evoloon cannot upgrade until all parts are completed and approved.

All magic earned from this trial can be used to upgrade your Evoloon.

All magic your Evoloon has earned can be accessed once this trial is complete.

New All upgrades your Evoloon has earned while broken-hearted can be accessed once this trial is complete.

If you have an Evoloon whose heart is not broken but you want to do the trial anyway, you may.

:new: Tasks do not need to be done in any particular order.

Trials do not have a time limit.
:new: Entries are to be put in this folder: www.deviantart.com/evoloons/ga…


General Trial Information:


This Trial is designed to be difficult.
It is supposed to challenge you as an artist, expand your abilities, make you critical think for unique and inventive solutions, show your dedication, and above all else to love your Evoloon(s).

FAQ


:new: Q: For V1.0: I've already finished this trial and completed the original crafting section? What does this mean for me?
A: If the crafting part of this trial has already been accepted, but not the entire trial, you may finish the trial as V1.0.
A: If all parts of the trial are complete, they will still be accepted.
B: Anyone who has had the "crafting" part of V1.0 accepted BEFORE this trial was edited 1/14/19, auto earns x2 the base magic the image originally gave. Both Love and Gift magic.
C: This also means from this date ( 1/14/19 ) on, only HH V1.5 will be accepted.
Q: What are the purposes of all these different parts?
A: Sometimes you don't know what you like or what you are good at until you try.
A: Each part helps you develop the skills you need to become a well rounded and experienced artist.
:new: A: To help you develop and think about your character(s).
:new: A: To help you earn magic and unlock categories for your Evoloon(s).

Q: Why would I choose anything other than Traditional/Digital for "The Royal Treatment"? The others are far more complex.
A: To offer you the choice to do something more complex if you so desire.
A: To prompt you to unlock categories that may not have been unlocked throughout the rest of the trial.

:new:Q: I used five (5) different things to make the Evoloon sculpture! Why was I told it didn't count?
A: Were all five (5) things visible? If you fill an aluminum can with rocks it is two (2) materials, but only one can be seen.
A: Because you used a Pepsi can, a Canada Dry can, a Sprite can, a Diet Coke can, and a Sunkist can. They are all aluminum cans only count as one (1) material used.

Q: I don't understand. I did everything correctly, so why was I told it didn't count?
A: How visible was everything? If it is too blurry it's hard to tell if everything is correct.
A: When you look at your piece can you see the shadows? Are they easy to see or hard? :new:Are all the characters shaded?

Q: Can they be a bit anthropomorphic?
A: Remember, true anthropomorphism is an upgrade. However small amounts of it are ok for obtaining an unnatural animal pose, like crossed arms. Anything that involves standing upright is pushing it though.

Q: Does glue count as a material for the "Crafting" portion of the trial?
A: Yes, however we need to be able to see it and reconize it as glue.
A: Yes, however glue only counts once. So if you use white glue and hot glue, it only counts as one (1) type of material used.

Q: Why can't I make my Evoloon sculpture out of just the pastry portion of a cake? It easily has 5 different ingredients.
A: Those ingredients have been used to form an indistinguishable singular thing, so no.
A: If the ingredients are easily seen and recognized then it counts. (This excludes spices inside the cake)

:new: Q: I really don't want to make another sculpture of my Evoloon though.
A: Then you are missing the point of the trial.

Q: I do not have the means to do a certain part of the trial and I know no one who I can help me out! What do I do!?
A: That is quite alright. There will be supplementary parts in case this is an issue.
However this is not to be abused. Please try all possible resources before resorting to this.
To be given a supplementary trial please send a note to the group.
