[ this description has been written by @VenusWolfeMF . Please visit the project this has been remixed from if you are interested in learning more about the DTIYS. ] Og share date: 7/2/2024 IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION! Or at the very least, read the rules, which are *mandatory* to read. - - - Before I start or say anything about the dtiys itself, I just want to say thank you all so so much. I know I said this before in another project, but I just want to re-iterate how thankful I am to all of you guys. Scratch has genuinely been one of the best platforms I've been on. This is where I've met the people who I'd argue to be some of my closest friends, and without Scratch I honestly don't think my art would've come this far. Heck, without Scratch I don't think I would've grown as a person as much as I have since I first made this account in 2021. Throughout all of the highs and lows of my scratch journey, from the Jealousy Jealousy map to SOAS to Littlebreak Market, my time on here has been amazing, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. So again, thank you all for getting me where I am today <3 (/pl) - - - Well, with that bit out of the way, I should probably get on to explaining the DTIYS, huh? 'DTIYS' stands for 'Draw This In Your Style', which is where you'll redraw the scene shown in this project in your own style! When the competition closes, I'll judge all the entries and then announce the winners! However, before entering PLEASE make sure to read the rules. These are MANDATORY to read, and have extremely important information in them. - - - RULES : - Absolutely NO tracing, claiming art you didn't make as your own, or any sort of art theft. Usage of AI is counted under this rule as art theft. I can tell if art is being stolen or if AI is being used. Breaking this rule WILL get you disqualified. - Please make sure to follow all the characters' designs! Their references can be viewed by clicking through the project. In addition to this, please keep them as feral characters / don't humanize them or make them anthro. - I don't think this will happen, but I feel like I should say this. Please do not try to replicate my artstyle when entering. This makes me extremely uncomfortable, and besides, the point of the contest is to redraw it in your style! - Contest ends on NOVEMBER 10TH at 3:00 PM PST. I will not be providing extensions once that date arrives as that wouldn't be fair to those who have already entered in that timeframe (/nm). - Please don't super drastically change the scene. What I mean by this is things such as adding a forest behind the characters, making it snowing, changing the time of day, changing the 'order' of where the characters are placed, etc. In short, just make sure that your entry looks like it’s a redraw of the dtiys. However, adding small things like clouds in the sky, more grass, and/or some flowers would be ok! - Please do not drastically change the characters designs or take out elements of their designs. This may include doing things such as removing accessories, etc. Simplifying them a bit is ok though, just keep them recognizable! Also, please try your best to keep the characters' heights as shown in this scene the same ^^ - PLEASE remix this project when entering! - Comments saying 'I won't win..', 'my art is bad :(', or anything similar will be deleted. Similarly, comments asking to enter will also be deleted. You don't need to ask, and also those kind of comments tend to just fill my inbox ^^" Also, please don't link your entry in the comments. Presuming you've followed the rule above, I would've gotten a notif for it or can see it in the project's remixes! However, if it's been 4 days and I've yet to add it to the contest's studio then you're free to link it. - Be respectful to others art and your own :] - - - ABOUT THE CHARACTERS (from left to right) : Vine (previously Vineblaze) - Male || He/Him || Friends with Stag and Solstice Eye of the Stag (or Stag for short) - Female || It/She || Friends with Vine, dating Solstice Solstice - Demifluid || They/Any Neopronouns || Friends with Vine, dating Stag Extremely simplified and shortened explanation of the story that lead up to this scene : Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts, the two clans live underground for 2 years. Four cats (includes Vine and Solstice) go to the surface to see how livable it is, two of them (Solstice and Vine) meet and befriend a cat (aka Stag) who has a found family of deer. A LOT of chaos and drama happens with the clans. Stag leads a raid on the clans with its deer and Solstice + Vine. Clans are wiped out. Story ends with the DTIYS scene you're seeing now, the three remaining cats watching the sunset on a grassy hill. - - - [ cont in N&C ]
