5. About Badges
Restrictions
- You cannot transfer badges to another user or account. (username changes are fine as long as the deviantart account itself is the same)
- If you move accounts, you cannot use old earned badges on a new account.
- You can't claim badges on someone else's behalf or for someone else’s work (unless there is a prompt or event exception) Badges can only be exchanged by the account that earned them.
6. Guidelines for Following Prompts
- Medium: You can work in any visual medium, digital or traditional, as long as it fits the prompt and requirements. If your medium or method is unusual, please ask a mod if it will be accepted before you start. Some prompts are more open, while others have more specific requirements.
Mods will decide if the skills used in your method are similar enough to the ones needed for in the prompt. ie: the scene calls for a colored and shaded full scene, but you want to sculpt it out of plasticine in flat shapes instead of drawing it- this would be accepted, but a photograph of a sculpted model posed in your garden as the bg may not be accepted. - Writing: unless the prompt says otherwise, we don't accept writing as standalone entries to prompts, sorry! This group mostly focuses on visual art. You can however submit writing to the group's folder or include it in the description of your art. Some prompts may involve writing.
- New/Old Art: Unless otherwise specified, the art you submit for prompts must be new art made just for the prompt and can't contain recycled drawing.
