A FEW RULES

- All files seen here belong to Daijonakain. Use of these files outside of this event is prohibited and will be considered Art Theft. DO NOT STEAL THEM.
- Edits to the lines are allowed, but keep in mind that animals do not wear clothes. Cloth accessories, such as hats, scarves, etc, however, are fine.
- Horns, weird tails, etc, are all fine edits c:

- Keep in mind the naming conventions, please! Names must be english word-based. A more detailed description can be found in the main thread on the first page.
- You can color as many of these as you want! But you can only color TWO for yourself [whichever species you want. It can be two of both, or one of each.]
- Please post ALL of your CYO's in ONE post. It makes things much easier to keep track of.
- Turn off your signatures when posting, please.


POST YOUR CYO's IN THIS THREAD!

- I need to be able to see them in order to choose winners at the end.
- Posts certs as well as uncerts, please! Otherwise I do not know who's mini it is.
- Read the guide below about how to go about doing this.

COMING TO LIFE
At the end of the event I will choose a few of these to put on the main lines. How many depends on how many are entered by the end of the event c:

SHADING
bring your mini to life!

- In the file there are layers called 'Shade'. These are the template layers.
- You'll want to choose a complimenting color to your base to really make your base color POP!
- If you aren't sure which color to choose, simply experiment until you find something that looks good.
- A good rule of thumb is to choose a shade that is somewhat bright, but light enough not to overpower the base color.
- See below for some examples. The color on the left is the base. The color on the right is the shade.

LINES
that final, important touch!

- Coloring your mini's lines is important to give it a complete, finished look. However, it isn't mandatory if you really don't want to do it.
- A good rule of thumb is to pick a more saturated, darker color than the darkest color on your base [where the shading is] and color the lines from there.
- See below for some examples. The color on the left is the base. The color on the right is the line color.

CERTING
making it official!

- Save your CYO as a .png without the white background.
- Ask your friend to name their mini [remember the naming rules!], and give it a gender [male or female].
- Open the .png. Copy and paste it onto the cert. Resize to 50%, and drag it on top of the silhouette for that CYO [they are orange]. Align them and then uncheck the silhouette.
- To change text, simply select your text tool, click on the text, and replace it with what you want.
- The 'color' line is you. Put your username here! 'color: your username'
- Be sure not to change any of the colors on the cert!
- Do not delete the line that says 'art: Daijonakain'.
- Save the cert and send them to your friends!


LINKING AN IMAGE TO ANOTHER IMAGE
it's easy!

- The easiest way is to use either photobucket or imageshack to host your image.
- Upload the .png you saved of the CYO.
- For PHOTOBUCKET: select the image by checking the little box. Scroll down to where it says 'choose action' and click on "generate link codes for selected". Copy and paste the code that says "clickable thumbnails" under 'IMG for bulletin boards'. Voila!
- For IMAGESHACK: Select your image by clicking it. On the righthand column there is an option that says 'generate code for forums'. Click this. Highlight and paste the first box of code for your thumbnail. Voila!
