This Month's Theme: Beach-themed OCs!
Summer's coming up (if it's not already here for you!) which means sand, sun, and smooth waves!
OCs must fit this theme one way or another. Here's a few ideas on what we're looking for:
Beach-related Cutie Marks: Does your OC surf or are they a lifeguard? Do they research marine life or collect seashells? Think of what you find on beach or by the shore or what you do at the beach. As long as their talent has to do with a beach, they're in the running!
Beach Colors/Aesthetic: If your OC has watery hair and a sandy coat, they might look like a beach! With this, it has to be obvious! If they're a mermaid, that works, too! If you're unsure, send the group a note :0
Your OC must meet the art qualifications! I will end nominations on May 27th and voting will start shortly after!
-----
This journal may be edited at any time to add more classifications, and without warning.
Each OC of the Month will get a personal folder with their OC's name and be featured on the front page for the month!
What classifies an OC for OC of the month?
- You must be a member of the group!
-Your OC must have a reference image! To count as a reference, it must be a full-body image of the OC. This image does not have to be done by you! If you have a different image you'd like to link as a thumbnail, please make sure you at least link the image that contains their Biography/Reference Sheet separately.
THIS IMAGE CANNOT BE A STA.SH LINK. It must be the either the original artist's submission OR submitted to your gallery.-Your OC must have 8 pictures of them, at least 2 of them must be by other people! Written works are allowed so long as it is obvious that your OC is in there for more than one scene. (If I search the document and your OC is there, you're golden)
-The images must be from deviantART!
-Your Reference Sheet/Bio MUST contain the information about your OC either in the picture or in the description of the image.
-Their "about" or "bio" must have at least 2-3 sentences, but NO MORE THAN THAT, and they must have a personality. If it's not under your reference sheet, then it must be a written version of their biography. This doesn't have to be something elaborate, they can just have a name, talent/occupation and personality!
-The OC must fit the theme!
-You must submit the form to this journal before the 27th of the month!

RULES
1. You must be a member to nominate your OC!
2. The OC you nominate must be your OC! You cannot nominate another person's OC.
3. Do not badmouth another person's OC. This is a positive environment and anyone found making awful comments about another's OC will be disqualified automatically and you will receive a warning. If it happens again you will be removed from the group.
4. Please follow all the guidelines! Anyone who doesn't won't be counted.
5. You need to comment on this journal, otherwise it will be hard to keep track of!
6. If you nominated yourself last month, feel free to nominate yourself again! Just resubmit your comment with all the information ♥
7. If you won recently, you may not apply the same OC for 3 months. That way it's fair to the others!
If you have any questions, you may send a note to the group~! Happy nominating!
