entropy shards are crystals made of pure dark matter. they're shed in microscopic pieces from cosmicauals' void parts, then collect & gain the ability to form new traits on a cos
giftart can be submitted for entropy shards here
headshot: colored- 2 es, shaded- 3 es
halfbody: colored- 5 es, shaded- 7 es
fullbody: colored- 7 es, shaded- 10 es
scene backgrounds adds +4 es, these must be at least a little complex/detailed & not just a few blobs of color! :0
simple animation (eg. only blinking, simple mouth movement, or only 2-3 ish unique frames) adds +3 es
complex animation (full movement, walk/run cycles, a bunch of small movements combined) adds +10 es
3d/sculpted/etc models adds +25 es, rigged 3d models or poseable models/artdolls add +40. (animations done with the model follow above rules, however all animations have to be included in the original submission & new animations cannot be submitted for more es. for example, if someone made a fullbody (+7), rigged 3d model (+40) & included 1 complex (+10) & 2 simple (+6, 3 for each) animations for it in the submission, this in total would be 63 es. afterwards, the same model would not be able to be submitted again with new animations. stop motion animation also follows these rules)
commissioned art/art from art trades cannot be submitted for giftart!
