Welcome!


If you've pmed me and we spoke already feel free to jump right in, if you're new send me a message if you're interested in joining this collab, or just curious about it ^.^

Introduction


So, I find it difficult to upkeep my adopts/rps as there's times where I can't get online and so threads come to a stand-still fairly easily. A group collab, I believe, would help with adopt stand-stills! We can help if you have an artists block, whether that be with your artwork or writing, if you're sick and not feeling up to the work you can still feel involved or if you've got to go away on holiday or for work/college/school etc you've got others to make sure the adopt "work"-load doesn't build up and become a hassle instead of a joy ^.^

The Theme


So far it's pretty broad, the apocalyptic theme is the main standing point. However, even though it's 'the end of the world' these adopts still need some joyful, eye catching theme, macarb is great but don't make anything to gruelly (As gore can stray against the rules and can make many people uncomfortable and not want to join in).

Style


Different art styles and writing styles are welcome ^.^
However, writing needs to be to a decent standard (But the other writers can help touch up pieces if you've got a good idea but are finding it hard to express).
As for the art, while different styles are excepted, they'll need to be okayed by the team (pm me) to make sure they won't be breaking any rules, such as the theme or too much gore. I won't except 'lazy' art. By lazy, I do not mean an art style that can be finished quickly, because they can still be cute and have a nice vibe, I mean art where white patches are prominent, unintentionally spilling from the lines and lack of creativity in the designs (I don't expect every adopt to jump out of the screen but if you make 3 that are basically the same design it's straying into 'lack of care' in your work. Again, the other artists can help with tips or touching up lineart etc!
.Note. Please, try use a software were you can make transparent backgrounds as your art will be very difficult for other artists to colour/help with if you're away. Krista and firealpaca are completely free software you could use ^.^

Main Ideas


As we chat and collab this will expand of course ^.^
.Apocolyptic (Definite)
.Canine and feline (Most probably)
.smaller animals e.g rodents and birds as 'side' pets (Maybe)

OOF, I've missed out on so much! Hi guys! I'm still a new artist, and I'm currently going a bunch of studies on paper. I've just adopted digital art, and while I was doing a lot of recolors before, I've just started making my own line art. Last night I made a quick guinea pig line art, and I'm going to focus on cats this week.

So while I may be a new artist, I have been writing for a LONG time and am quite experienced at roleplaying and world-building, so I hope I can be of great use there. :)

I've also suggested working on the HTML for our threads to Druid, so I'll get to that as soon as we have a more concrete theme.

I love lime's suggestion for the names.

@bones thanks! ^^
@druid i think babies would be a great idea!! there could be an item a buyer could purchase that lets them breed with another adopt, to help out the understanding of how mutations pass

Personally, I like VERY light colors with black words OR slightly darker backgrounds with white words.

A pale, ashen-grey background (black or white writing?) Then for the outline/borders/title boxes could be like a burnt umber?

I can try that, I'll post screenshots of the previews here and we can decide what to do next. I'll save the code until it's time to post. :)

Sounds great, when I post my examples I'll make the background the colour I was thinking of!

Armageddon Adopts

This is the first one, let me know what you think of it.

1. Also, what kind of fonts are you guys thinking of? I just stuck to my favorite one, Didot, which is nice and clean, but doesn't fit the theme.
2. Should the border be smaller, larger?
3. Changes to background colors? These are: (Header - #494949) (Body - #7B7B7B) (Border - #470903)
4. I kept the font white to make it easy on the eyes, but should I change it to a light red or something? We can try out a bunch of things. :)

looking good so far! maybe the font could be https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Trade+Winds or https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Allan? i think itd look better if it wasn't a solid color as a background; maybe an image thats been blurred or slightly transparent?

Oooooh that looks really cool!
Maybe try the title box as a paler umber(orangey-red-brown) with larger writing?
You could post a few variations, different fonts etc and see what everyone prefers :D
I think I'd make the writing a tinie bit bigger as a general (about the size of default lioden posts?)
It looks really neat though, thank you
