Drawing

Primary Character

This section calculates the payout based on the primary/focus character. This means the character who the prompt is about, or is taking the most forefront role in the art piece. These do not stack with one another. Please refer to the extra character bonus below!

Chibis may be done, but please refer to the minimum detail level below!

Art must always be colored. No greyscale or partial color! Below are some shading examples. They must have some form of highlight and shadow that is clear, and this shading should follow the contours of the body to some degree. Gradients and inconsistent shading may not count.
Finish Level Flat Colored - No shading present, only flat colors
Shaded - Multi-tone shading, meaning the coloring has shadows, midtones, and highlights present
Flat Colored Shaded
Halfbody 50% or more of the character is visible. Counts for the Focus Character Only, and does not stack with the Fullbody section.

Fullbody 90% or more of the character is visible. Counts for the Focus Character Only, and does not stack with the Halfbody section. 12 Crowns 18 Crowns
 
 
Background

This section refers to if you have a background or not. Some prompts require backgrounds, while others may not. All of the backgrounds depicted here are valid backgrounds, but some may count for the payout while others may not. Characters should still be readable within the background, and you may not get the background bonus if the image is too obscured by a character.

Backgrounds utilizing stamps or premade textures may not count for complex background bonuses unless they are painted over and incorporated fully.   
 No Background  Color block backgrounds, pattern backgrounds, backgrounds with no depth, detail, or heavily obscured backgrounds are counted under this category. They are still viable for use in prompts, but will not grant the background bonus.  0 Crowns  
Simple Background Simple backgrounds have basic depth, minimal shading, and mid-level detail.  10 Crowns  
Complex Background Complex backgrounds have a foreground, middle ground, and background, and often perspective details. Typically they have mutli-tone shading to some degree, and higher levels of detail. Characters are often interacting directly with the background. 20 Crowns
