I have some important updates to share, so please try to at least skim this blog

First off, we’re going to be tentatively letting in certain kinds of animations

For now, they must at least be clean, follow the group regulations for anatomy, and should not be heavily stylized. Color is not required

And remember,
we do not accept OCs.
Okay, now it’s time for another collab update

Well, even though I’ve pushed this thing back a couple of months already, we only have a little under fifty entries. That seems like a lot, but considering it’s only a fraction of the characters we were supposed to have, it’s not quite the turnout I was hoping for. Though I probably shouldn’t talk, since I haven’t submitting mine yet either

So I’ve made a pretty severe decision to push back the collab to January 1st. This will give everyone the chance to work on their pictures during Christmas break, plus give me some time to find a background artist. Sorry to all those who submitted on time, but I just don’t want this collab piece to look threadbare.
But don’t worry, there will be a nice little opportunity here for those who are getting impatient. As anyone who watches my gallery probably knows, my backgrounds skills aren’t the best. So, I’m going to ask anyone who has experience drawing backgrounds to submit an entry for this little mini contest.
THE BACKGROUND SHOULD
Feature the group initials (AWC) stacked atop each other, kind of teetering back and forth like they are going to fall. Try to make them look three-dimensional, since the cats will be sitting, standing, or climbing up them. The letters should be on a field of grass, with a forest or mountain background. Just use your imagination. It should be no smaller than 6000 pixels from one end to the next, so make sure you have experience working on a large scale.
The chosen picture will be used in the collab, ensuring that the artist will get a ton of exposure. In addition to that, I’m hoping people will volunteer prizes for the winner. If you feel like you can offer points or a free commission to the winner, please comment below with all the details (whether the picture will have a background, shading, how many characters it may feature, and whether it will be full body)-
Prizes
A month long feature in an AWC group blog.

Free animal OC commission (with shading and detailed background) and a llama from ~
