Art Contest Post (Rules & Stuff)

As promised, here's more information concerning our March Art Contest.

Pieces submitted must either be a logo/website banner design, or visual art piece (drawing, painting, comic, etc) inspired by our show. There are a few guidelines that the submissions must meet to be eligible:

-NO GORE! This does NOT rule our (grim)dark pieces (especially when concerning Smithman), but we encourage more lighthearted and silly designs that can be openly displayed to the general public.

-NO PORNOGRAPHY! Again, we want something that can be displayed publicly and not have to be censored. This does NOT rule out shipping (mild Rule 34) or gender bending (Rule 63) designs, and they are almost encouraged as long as they remain "PG-13".

-Keep it Tasteful. We try to provide entertainment that is enjoyable for most without being vulgar or obscene, and I strongly encourage the same be true for your submissions.

Concerning logos/banners, below are examples of what other Podcasts (or similar media) have for their designs. These are meant to be used as reference to get a basic idea of something we're looking for if you decide to submit a logo design. All images are owned by their respective podcast.

Whether you submit a logo design or other art piece, we're looking for something that incorporates our OC's. Below are references to the cast's OC's, including cutie marks.
