November Prompts
November 2024 Prompt: Huevember
11/4/24 - 1/4/25 11:59pm ET
Edeia can come in all sorts of colors, even if they may prefer a particular appearance. How would they feel about experiencing some different colors for a time?
You may submit up to three entries for this prompt; one challenge entry, one art entry, and one writing entry.
Challenge Prompt: You have two options:
Complete at least 10 Huevembers depicting at least one Edeia, at least at the finish level of a shaded sketch fullbody (or almost) with some vignette background (e.g., flowers or rocks at feet, aesthetic patterns, etc.). Please submit all together; can be on one canvas or multiple, and please label the days on the image. You can combine days.
Draw at least 10 depictions of your Edeia in a palette generated with their name from https://colormagic.app/. It should at least be a rough, colored, minimally shaded fullbody. No background is needed, and they can be on the same or separate canvas. Please include the palette colors you used, whether in the image or separately.
Art Prompt: You have two options:
Complete a Huevember day with an Edeia; please label the day. This does not count for both the art prompt and the challenge prompt.
Draw your Edeia using a limited palette generated by inputting your Edeia's name in https://colormagic.app/. You can blend colors and adjust brightness, but try to avoid adding extra colors. For instance, you can darken the palette colors for colored lines. Please include an image of the palette with the Edeia's name. The background doesn't have to be limited by the palette (especially if multiple Edeia are depicted), but it can if you want.
Writing Prompt: Write about your Edeia trying out a different palette or getting mysteriously struck by a phenomenon that causes their colors to change temporarily - if they hate it, it probably only lasts for a few minutes, but if they like it, they can keep it as long as they like (since they can change colors at will anyways). You can have their colors change to a Huevember day (please include day) or a generated palette (please include palette image).
November 2023 Prompt: Birds of a Feather
11/1/23 - 11/30/23 11:59pm ET
As shapeshifters, Edeia can take many forms. Some may find themselves drawn to the shape of a bird.
This prompt follows the Standard Requirements.
Design Prompt:
Make a design of a shapeshifted form of your Edeia as a bird. This can be based on a real bird, multiple real birds, or just have generally bird-like qualities (wings, bird feet, beak, feathers, and so on). If the design is based on real bird(s), feel free to share what the species is!
Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting an Edeia in a shapeshifted form as a bird.
At least one Edeia must be depicted in their shapeshifted bird form. The other characters can be anything.
Writing Prompt:
In what circumstance does your Edeia take the form of a bird? Do they have any bird-like mannerisms while shapeshifted - or even if not? Create writing that depicts your Edeia in their shapeshifted bird form and/or exhibiting bird-like behaviors.
November 2022 Prompt: Dragons
11/5/22 - 12/5/22 11:59pm ET
Dragons are known across many cultures in many forms and many roles. Now, what if an Edeia took the form of a dragon?
Design Prompt:
Design a "dragon form" for your Edeia. There are many different kinds of dragons, though you can consider qualifying forms to fall in the "inner circle" of this image, though you're welcome to add as many limbs as you want, combine elements, be creative, etc. as long as they still look like a "dragon." If your Edeia already has a draconic form, you could try making them a different type of dragon for this prompt.
This form can generally be counted as an "other form," but if you want to make it a true alternate form, feel free to make note of that and I can update the ML.
Art Prompt:
You have two options.
1. Create artwork of your Edeia in their dragon form .
Around 50% or more of the character should be visible; at least, it should clearly represent the character and capture important elements.
Fully colored and shaded
Full color background, but can be abstract/blurred
2. Create artwork of your Edeia with their "hoard" or with the type of thing their hoard involves (such as if they are collecting), whatever it may be. A "hoard" is some collection of things precious to them, or that they enjoy in some sense. The hoard can be objects and, though it can be a little questionable in some circumstances depending on the nature of the "hoarding," living things and/or sentient individuals. It could even be something abstrast - as long as it is valuable to the Edeia and can be collected/hoarded.
The Edeia can be in dragon form or their regular form.
The Edeia should be approximately halfbody or more.
Fully colored, with either shading or some sort of effect/texture (so long as it is not simply flat).
No background required
Optional: provide a little blurb about the "hoard," whether a reflection by the character, an explanation, etc.
Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia in their dragon form or something related to their "hoard" - admiring, showing someone, collecting something new, etc.
November 2021 Prompt: Cat Days
11/5/21 - 12/5/21 11:59pm ET
It is time for the Cat Edeia!
Design Prompt:
Design a cat form for your Edeia. While all the cat Edeia I have designed generally have a similar style and body type, you are free to draw them with a different style/level of realism, and/or as a different kind of feline.
Must be fullbody with no cropping
The cat form must resemble the Edeia's form and use the same color palette.
No shading required, but you may if you wish
No background required, but you can add something if you like.
Art Prompt:
Draw artwork of cat Edeia. In all cases:
Fullbody or almost
For one cat Edeia:
Fully colored and shaded
Full color background with a clear setting
Scenery can be somewhat blurred/undetailed, but it should be clear what the setting is - whether a forest, a meadow, a library, an Abstraction, etc.
For two cat Edeia:
Fully colored, at least minimal shading
Full color background with some sort of environment; does not need to be detailed or a full scene
For three cat Edeia or more:
Fully colored, at least minimal shading
Full color background; can be abstract, blurry, or otherwise simple.
Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving at least one Edeia shapeshifted into a cat for whatever reason - be it for fun, for a dare, for any other reason.
