Young Blood || Open Pride MAP Call

Instructions

Hello there! It's been a hot minute since I've hosted a MAP. I've sort of forgotten how to do it. I've been somewhat obsessed with listening to this song and I was having some big grandiose ideas about the potential for it to be a pride MAP of some kind. I remember once upon a time, roughly five years ago, I had the original (non-remixed) version of Young Blood as a MAP, and it never quite got off the ground. Then I sat down and started drawing and it made itself a reality, so I think it could be really neat. We'll see how it goes. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ MAP Rules - Please follow the design guidelines within the project! They're simple but very important. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. The important takeaways are that pride flags should be integrated into the designs of your characters and that the colors in your part should be vivid. Your characters can be whatever colors they are—there's no palette, just a hope for bright colors. - Given that it's a pride MAP and all, please have your part center around pride in some way. This can be anything you want! Fandom characters, original characters, representations of your own experiences, you name it. - There are a lot of parts of different lengths. Ideally, short parts should be primarily animated, and you can do PMV or AMV for longer parts. However, if you're more confident with one of these styles and would prefer to do it, that's fine too! However, shading is required on PMV parts, so do note that if that makes a difference to you. - There is no minimum experience level for this MAP. Shoot your shot! Don't be afraid to apply because you think you might not get in. You might be surprised. - There is no codeword. Just make sure you've read everything before starting your part! If it doesn't fit the guidelines, I will most likely ask you to adjust it so that it does fit the guidelines, and that just creates more work for you. Save yourself the trouble! - You will have six weeks to complete your part. This is with the goal of having it finished by June. I will give you up to two weeks as an extension after that in one-week blocks, but eight weeks is a hard deadline. If there are extenuating circumstances, let me know, but make sure that unless something very urgent comes up, you will be able to complete your part within the allotted time. TNE Rules - Please make sure you follow the guidelines within the project when making your thumbnail entry! - When submitting your thumbnail, it would be ideal if you can include a version with text and a version without text. - No need to ask to make one!
