ERA 2 MAP CALL - The Light That Comes Through

Instructions

hi welcome to the map call for era 2!! i haven't had my art tablet in a bit so thanks essie for offering to make the thumbnail so i could get this out @quinnt3ss3ntial this is an appreciation map after anything you enjoyed about era 2, meaning there's no script or timeline, but there are a few rules! >> COMMUNICATE. PLEASE. i hate being the one to have to constantly say "hey, how is this going? hey, you still haven't made any progress- do you need to drop? hey.." it literally takes the map take 10x longer >> IMPORTANT: You may draw any events that take place in Era 2, and any cats (unless they ask you do not do so) - HOWEVER. You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! You may NOT draw your own characters!!! Do research about other people's lores and stories! Try to branch out from close friends, too! But I just can't allow people to draw their own cats :( If I allowed people to draw their own characters, it'd turn from an appreciation of the overarching era map to everyone just drawing their own personal lore from over the past year :') It's preferred to use peoples actual characters even for background characters instead of just making up cats- because that shows the community that made up this Era, but if you'd prefer you can make up some cats- as long as the event featured is still Era 2, or centered on real Era 2 cats. NPCs may be drawn as well DEADLINE INFORMATION: >> You have four weeks total to complete your part. >> If a sketch and/or storyboard is not posted to scratch within a week of claiming, you will be dropped without warning or notice. You may have an extension on this if you ask BEFORE the deadline. >> While I won't be as strict as with Origami, I do expect some progress each week - please leave a comment or a note in the description with the date explaining your progress each week, please. If a week goes badly and you just can't find the time to work on your part, but still think you can do it, that's fine just say that in the comment/note. >> Extensions will only be given if requested before the deadline. >> Parts may be AMV or PMV. I do expect shading for PMV parts, please. >> I would love to see effort, and I know you all have it in you! please do something creative, experiment, have fun! -- Please include a background, thanks :D >> This map is not selective. While I still expect you put in your best work, I welcome all artists at every skill level and point in their journey, how else is a young artist supposed to improve if they're not allowed to draw? >> Do not put your part in the background sprite and please use a maximum of two sprites for your part !!, an animation program can help with condensing sprite usage! one sprite is preferred!! >> Tweening / gliding / rotating / etc. is allowed but keep in the mind the max two sprite rule (pref use animation programs to help instead of doing it using scratch code as that saves asset usage) Please please if using gliding make sure the part doesnt slide off the viewing window (otherwise we can see the backdrop behind it). you can make the sprite bigger by using size: 110% or something to help >> I know not everyone has access, so it's not required, but look into art programs! They'll make everything so much easier, due to onion skinning and layers :sob:. free art programs off the top of my head: krita (what i use, it has animation abilities and i can help anyone with questions on that) firealpaca flipaclip (i don't mind the watermark!) gimp kleki (online, in browser for those that can't download anything!) >> Two parts per person, but your first part must be completed first before claiming a second. >> Draw a part of era 2 that YOU enjoyed and will have fun drawing, but please know I will be putting everyone's rough plans in the part lists -- if there are a few others doing the same thing as you, perhaps consider changing your plans to something else - the era was a year and a half long!! i'm certain you can find something ^^ Totally optional though, I won't be a stickler about it. >> try to make the part make sense to the song part you got lol thank you >> if parts adjacent to yours are finished, consider looking at them to think about ways you can transition the parts smoothly. >> locrypt is not considered era 2 >> i was gonna do a different song but i found a hidden swear in it i SIGH but this works >> btw there is an audio bug so if some of the parts are. weirdly loud or weirdly quiet that is NOT my fault but i hope to fix it in the final map so dw too much about it FORM: part / ONE era 2 cat you've had / rough plans for the part (this can be changed, just tell me)
