"Starfall Faire 2017 - Gift Giving"
#04 Draw gift art for another person's elnin!



 This year, while organizing Nalnalo's Grand Faire, Diel Mogurin had the notion that it would also be a wonderful thing if everyone could celebrate in the spirit of giving. Bearing this in mind, she coordinated a few fun raffles for this year's fairgoers to run in tandem with the usual events, where tickets would be handed out to folk that were seen doing good deeds for their fellow Eyresians. 

The Grand Faire opens officially on the 15th, but there are already stalls and games going up all around Nalnalo. Spirits are high as everyone spends the warm summer nights under the growing array of festival lanterns all around, enjoying the cool ocean breeze, good food and merry music. Now get out there and have some fun!

The subject of this prompt is simple! : Do a bit of gift art for another person's elnin. 

The piece itself doesn't need to depict anything specific besides the elnin, the only requirement is that the completed art is a gift for someone else <3
(ALSO! Please only submit newly created gift art. Please do not submit commissioned works. )

If you'd like to offer your elnin for use with this prompt or any future gift art purposes, please be sure to post them over here:

Gift Art Resources -- Madame Elladhi's

The famous elnin art dealer, Madame Elladhi, is also in the business of pairing artists with their muses. For this, she keeps extensive records of elnins who she finds aesthetically intriguing. Have need of an inspirational subject? Worry not, Madame Elladhi has just what you need.

Now, why don't you have a seat and take a look through these candidates the Madame has gathered for you.
Hello hello! The purpose of this journal is to compile easily referenced details for people who would like to do gift art of someone else's elnin.
Why do it this way? Good question!
For one, it's always best to have permission before drawing someone else's characters! By posting an elnin's information here, the owner is saying "Yeah man! Draw mah baby!". And secondly, there is much that's left unsaid from just looking at an elnin's official art- such as personality, clothing preferences, and other particular details that are of impor

Completion : 2 EC + Star Ticket [x1] 

[Requirements for a "Complete" piece]

 Primary subject cannot be an elnin that you own. (Please make sure you have permission from the owner to draw them!) 

 To help find potential elnins to draw, you can check out this journal : Gift Art Resources -- Madame Elladhi's or just take a gander at the Masterlist Account. Please be polite when approaching owners to request permission to draw their characters, and bear in mind it's always possible unsolicited requests may be denied/ignored.

 Art must be fully rendered (as in both colored and shaded) and include most of the elnin's body (%75-%80).

 You must submit your entry to the Prompt group folder [here] before the deadline.

[Bonuses]

These are only in addition to the Completion Reward, and will not apply if you do not fulfill completion requirements.

** You may only claim each of the following bonuses one time, for a total maximum bonus amount of +2 EC and +1 additional star ticket**

 Including another Berry Bazaar CS (elnins, kyunru, kyulin, etc) -- This can be an adopt owned by you : +1 EC 

 Including any non-Berry Bazaar CS -- This can be an adopt owned by you : +1 EC 

I have no issue with people including any type of CS that you own a character for and would like to have canonly visit Eyre, but for those of you who are (understandably!) skittish about breaking rules with other CS owners, here is a list of species that I have already obtained permission for visiting this world setting: 

 Browbirds, Kitbulls, Lantern Dragons, Star Dusters, Dragonkits, Aetherlings, Grottes, Snaptraps

 (For drawn entries) Including a background . Either a fully painted, or at least mostly painted/implied backdrop of some sort: +1 Star Ticket

 (For written entries) Entry reaches 1000 words: +1 Star Ticket

 Drawing the elnin in its bipedal form: No bonus

(You can still draw them in this form for Completion credit if you'd like, but there will be no bonus awarded)

  Bipedal form guidelines:

  Examples : Faire is in the Air!

  The bipedal form is pretty much an elnin standing upright xD No really major visible physical differences.

 Drawing the elnin in its humanoid form: No bonus

(You can still draw them in this form for Completion credit if you'd like, but there will be no bonus awarded)

  Human form guidlines:

  Their gijinka forms are short, very young looking. Like so: [Example 1] [Example 2]

  They have human faces. They do not have animal noses in humanoid form.

  Skin color can match their feral form, or be normal skintones, or a combination of those! 

  You can't create new markings, but you can mix and match skin tone color with parts of their base markings.

  They have normal people hands, but tiny paw feets (with toe beans hue hue).

  In gijinka state, they are gender neutral (no boobs, etc)

   F A Q  

"My Elnin doesn't have a pomu on their official art. Does it even have one?"
All elnins have at least one pomu that they are born with (regardless of whether you have art of it). There is a mini guide you can take a look at here for a little more info:
[Lore] Pomu : Elnin familiars.

"Can I enter multiple drawings?"
You may enter up to 3 drawings, however subsequent entries are not eligible for bonus rewards.

"Can I do a written entry?"
Yes! However, please note, written entries must be 600 words long to count as complete in addition to any previously listed applicable requirements. 
ALSO NOTE Written entries -ARE- eligible for bonus points this time. 

"Can I include someone elses' character in my submission"
Of course! Just make sure you have their permission first. If you like, you can comment below if you're looking for a partner to draw!

"Can I join if I don't own an elnin?"
For this prompt, yes you can!

"Do I need to complete a registration sheet to join"
Nope! Not at this point in time anyway.

"What the heck is EC, and what's it used for?"
EC stands for elanicite coin, and is one of the primary currencies of Eyre! It is tracked over here at the Goldspring Grande Treasury. 
EC can be traded for goodies when caravans or merchants come around, and will be used to purchase housing at a later date. You'll also be able to use EC to purchase design changes for your adopts (marking/color edits etc). 

Please comment if you have any questions! <3

Have fun!!
