Participation Rules


This Art contest is open to any person who wishes to participate, no matter if they own an Articularia or not, or if they are a member of the World/Discord Server or not.

You may participate with multiple entries, but you can win the participation prize only once, and only one of the art pieces will be entered in the voting.

Your drawing must feature at least one official Articularia and one official Critter (adoptable or approved MYO) prominently. You are allowed to also include other characters, Articularias, Critters, or neither. If you do not own an Articularia yet, you may draw one of the species' mascots, or ask permission to another member to draw their Articularia. If you do not own a Critter yet, you may use one of the Penguilaria mascots, or ask permission to another member to draw their Critter.

Entries for this contest should not feature any kind of mature or adult content. Entries featuring hateful messages, attacks against a real life person or group, supporting the usage of drugs or criminal activities will also be not accepted for the contest. Please tag and filter your entries if it features realistic insects/insect traits.

1. Have one official Articularia and one official Critter;

Contest Theme


Critter Lover!

Show us your Articularias who own a Critter, and how they get along!
Maybe they are playing outside, or your Articularia is taking care and grooming their Critter, or they just met and it was friendship at first sight?

See below a few art examples produced by staff, and then get down to drawing yours!
