November 2023 Prompt: Birds of a Feather

As shapeshifters, Edeia can take many forms. Some may find themselves drawn to the shape of a bird. 

This prompt follows the Standard Requirements. 

Design Prompt:
Make a design of a shapeshifted form of your Edeia as a bird. This can be based on a real bird, multiple real birds, or just have generally bird-like qualities (wings, bird feet, beak, feathers, and so on). If the design is based on real bird(s), feel free to share what the species is!  

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting an Edeia in a shapeshifted form as a bird. 

• At least one Edeia must be depicted in their shapeshifted bird form. The other characters can be anything.  

Writing Prompt:
In what circumstance does your Edeia take the form of a bird? Do they have any bird-like mannerisms while shapeshifted - or even if not? Create writing that depicts your Edeia in their shapeshifted bird form and/or exhibiting bird-like behaviors. 

October 2023 Prompt: Edeiatober

October is a popular month for creative challenges, and here we present our own Edeiatober! You are welcome to complete these prompts as you like - as many or as few, combining prompts, etc. but you may also make three entries that will qualify for figments. 

The Free Day counts as one of the options. Do not use the same prompt multiple times for figments. 

This prompt follows the Standard Requirements. 

Design Prompt:
Make a design of a shapeshifted form of your Edeia, their previous form, or a character in Ideation inspired by one or more of the Edeiatober prompts. State which prompt(s) you used. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting an Edeia, inspired by one or more of the Edeiatober prompts.  State which prompt(s) you used. 

Writing Prompt:
You have two options: 

1. Write a scene depicting an Edeia, inspired by one or more of the Edeiatober prompts.  

2. Write a backstory/synopsis summary of events about an Edeia, inspired by one or more of the Edeiatober prompts. 

"Fascinating, isn't it, to think about the ways we diverged? You strove past life to the potential of artificiality, while I found my answer in life and the renewal of it."

"Yet we are not so different in certain respects, you and I. We both redefine the limits of life. We both persist, and help others do so as well." 

— Sylnae and Simulacra

This world once belonged to the sea. That time is past, now... but I do find myself enjoying the places where the sea has reclaimed what has been made of the surface.

— Roscha

I am a weary thing. Before Actualization, I was a feeble thing in body and, perhaps by extension, mind. There were things I wished to do that my body would not let me... but that was alright. My weariness made me rest when I needed it. And once I had rested, I could try to press onwards. I could never accomplish everything I wanted when I wanted, but, yes - that was alright. And now... I rest when I need it, and I help others as well. Weariness reminds us of our limits, and neither are such terrible things. So, then... would you like to join me? There is a peace to be found in a moment of rest.

— Raein, Edeia of Weariness

I enjoyed seeing the ceramic work of humans over the years. Some were old artisans, practicing their techniques over decades. Some were dabblers, students who found some meaning in creating such things while they were not buried in their books. I did not need my idea magic or my true form to go visit and appreciate those displays of their work. Although... when 'I' became too old to visit again, and returned in a younger form, slightly altered... I wonder if those artists I visited again could recognize me at all.  

— Mu

At that moment, observing him at the brink of death, I descended. I called upon some strange power welling up within me, a power I did not fully understand. I asked him, "Are you satisfied dying here?" I asked him, "Would you fight against death if you could gain the strength to help others again?" He said, "Yes. Yes, if I could." And at that moment, something seemed to fall into place for me. I will help him, I thought. I will help him sacrifice all he is to better the world.

March 2023 Prompt: Mentor

While some might say Edeia are independent in nature, many benefited from the guidance of another - be it another Edeia or someone or something else - in finding their potential. Many, too, offer guidance for others; some might specifically seek out ideated individuals to help them on the path to Actualization. How does mentorship fit in life of your Edeia? 

Design Prompt:
Design a character that has been mentored by an Edeia on a path towards Actualization. This can be an ideated individual (that has not yet Actualized) or an existing Edeia's previous form.

• Please provide a little blurb/explanation about what sort of mentorship relationship was going on, and with whom.  

Art Prompt:
Create artwork illustrating a mentorship relationship involving at least one Edeia. Perhaps the mentor is teaching the mentee something; perhaps the mentee is trying something out (their abilities, or perhaps something mundane); perhaps the mentee is confiding something to the mentor.  

• Options: for two characters - partial body (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more characters - halfbody (chest/equivalent up). 

  • You can draw more of one character to draw less of another; for instance, one fullbody + one halfbody with two characters, or one partial body + one halfbody + one bust for three characters. 

• Fully colored and shaded. 

• Some background with some environment - can be blurry and/or undetailed.

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the situation, whether a reflection by the character, a summary of what the situation is, dialogue, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene illustrating a mentorship relationship involving at least one Edeia. Perhaps the mentor is teaching the mentee something; perhaps the mentee is trying something out (their abilities, or perhaps something mundane); perhaps the mentee is confiding something to the mentor.  

• Minimum word count: 1500 words

January 2023 Prompt: Adorn

It is quite fun, to harvest alongside the children. We find so many things, so many things tossed away and forgotten, but we! We can find the things, and split the things between us. I help them reach what they once could not, and so they are happy, and I am happy. Hmm? Where is the child from? Tsksk... unimportant. 

— Harvest

Edeia, as shapeshifters, can take any form they desire - and perhaps there are circumstances where they might enjoy shapeshifting into clothes or accessories that humans or other mundane beings can wear. 

Design Prompt:
Create an a design of your Edeia shapeshifted into clothing. 

• They can be a full outfit (such as the example with Simulacra), any article of clothing (shirt, pants, jacket, etc.), an accessory (gloves, hat, earring(s), etc.), and so on. 

• You can make them ranging from mostly mundane in appearance, being able to pass as normal (if perhaps unusual) clothing, to obviously magical (floating parts, glowing bits, etc.). 

• The subject wearing the Edeia as clothing must be fullbody with no cropping. It can be a mannequin (blank character shape without characteristics), an existing character, or a random/new character. The mannequin/character can be human/oid, animal, Edeia, or other species. It would be preferred for the subject to be human/oid but it is not a requirement. 

• You can design other parts of the outfit/character other than the Edeia, but please indicate what item the shapeshifted Edeia is, either on the image or as a blurb/description. 

  • If the Edeia is shapeshifted into a relatively small part of the outfit and you are not designing a whole outfit for the subject, please provide a close-up/detail depiction of the item. 

• Shading is not required, but recommended to indicate certain textures (such as metal, crystal, satin, etc.). You could also simply describe the item in text. 

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the item the Edeia is shapeshifted into, story context, and/or what situation(s) they might have shapeshifted into this form in, etc.  

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting your Edeia shapeshifted into clothing. 

• The subject must be a character with a full outfit; please indicate what part(s) of the outfit the Edeia is in the message of your submission. The character can be human/oid, animal, Edeia, or other species. It would be preferred for the subject to be human/oid but it is not a requirement. 

• For the following options, each "character" counts if it is a subject wearing an Edeia shapeshifted as clothing. Options: for one character - fullbody or almost; two characters - partial body (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more characters - half bodies (chest/equivalent up).

• Fully colored and shaded. 

• Some background with some environment - can be blurry and/or undetailed.

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the situation, whether a reflection by the character (as in the example with Harvest), a summary of what the situation is, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia being shapeshifted clothing. Is it a method of mundane disguise? Is it for some purpose, is there some reason for it? Is it for fun? Is it just the one time, or a regular thing? 

December 2022 Prompt: Warmth

A flame. It offers warmth, in time of cold... yet it is so transient, bursting to life and ceasing all at once. So it begins. So it ends. 

It need not end yet. Let us hold it here, in our hands, in our hearts, and bask in the moment it lasts. It must end. Then... let us make another and start anew.

— Dusk and Dawn

In winter, many seek warmth - in both a literal and metaphorical sense. What warmth do you seek? 

• You may make three submissions for this prompt, a maximum of two for a single type. The same or different designs/Edeia can be used in different types, but for the same type you must use a different one. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting your Edeia seeking or engaging in something involving physical and/or metaphorical warmth. Perhaps they seek flame - a campfire, fireplace, some manifestation, etc. Perhaps they wrap themselves in cozy things - blankets, warm clothes, plushies, pillows, etc. Perhaps they seek companionship - friends, family, the dearly beloved in one way or another. 

• Non-Standard Background Requirement: Some background, but does not need an environment - just not transparent or entirely flat. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia seeking or engaging in something involving physical and/or metaphorical warmth, as detailed in the art prompt. 

November 2022 Prompt: Dragons

Dragons are known across many cultures in many forms and many roles. Now, what if an Edeia took the form of a dragon? 

Design Prompt:
Design a "dragon form" for your Edeia. There are many different kinds of dragons, though you can consider qualifying forms to fall in the "inner circle" of this image, though you're welcome to add as many limbs as you want, combine elements, be creative, etc. as long as they still look like a "dragon." If your Edeia already has a draconic form, you could try making them a different type of dragon for this prompt.  

This form can generally be counted as an "other form," but if you want to make it a true alternate form, feel free to make note of that and I can update the ML. 

Art Prompt:
You have two options. 

1. Create artwork of your Edeia in their dragon form . 

• Around 50% or more of the character should be visible; at least, it should clearly represent the character and capture important elements. 

• Fully colored and shaded

• Full color background, but can be abstract/blurred

2. Create artwork of your Edeia with their "hoard" or with the type of thing their hoard involves (such as if they are collecting), whatever it may be. A "hoard" is some collection of things precious to them, or that they enjoy in some sense. The hoard can be objects and, though it can be a little questionable in some circumstances depending on the nature of the "hoarding," living things and/or sentient individuals. It could even be something abstrast - as long as it is valuable to the Edeia and can be collected/hoarded.  

• The Edeia can be in dragon form or their regular form. 

• The Edeia should be approximately halfbody or more. 

• Fully colored, with either shading or some sort of effect/texture (so long as it is not simply flat). 

• No background required

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the "hoard," whether a reflection by the character, an explanation, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia in their dragon form or something related to their "hoard" - admiring, showing someone, collecting something new, etc.  

October 2022 Prompt: Monstrous

To those unfamiliar with them, Edeia can be terrifying beings. Some might choose to make themselves even more so. 

Design Prompt:
Design a "monstrous form" for your Edeia. This can range to partial shapeshifting, a distortion of their form, an entirely shapeshifted form, etc. Generally, "monstrous" characteristics might include more teeth and claws, more eyes, eldritch elements, more limbs, etc. but I am sure there is more than I can think of. If your Edeia already has a "monstrous form," by default, feel free to go even further. 

This form can generally be counted as an "other form," but if you want to make it a true alternate form, feel free to make note of that as well. 

Please spoiler your submission if there are horror/phobia/discomfiting elements with a warning of what you are spoiling for. I may request assistance of mods for approval if there is something I'm particularly uncomfortable with, but I don't wish to restrict submissions too much. 

• Must be fullbody with no cropping

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

Art Prompt:
You have two options. 

1. Create artwork of your Edeia in their shapeshifted monstrous form, as described in the design prompt.

• Around 60% or more of the character should be visible; at least, it should clearly represent the character and capture important elements. 

• Fully colored and shaded

• Full color background, but can be abstract/blurred

2. Create artwork of your Edeia (or multiple) scaring an individual, whether on purpose or not. 

• Options: two characters - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up); three or more - head/bust.

• At least one character must be your Edeia. The other character can be anyone else.

• Fully colored, with either shading or some sort of effect/texture (so long as it is not simply flat). 

• Full color background with some sort of environment, but does not have to be detailed.

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the situation, whether a reflection by the character, a summary of what happens, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia scaring an individual, whether on purpose or not, or a circumstance in which they shifted into a monstrous form. Some Edeia may celebrate Halloween in this way, to note. 

• Minimum word count: 1500 words

September 2022 Prompt: Disguise

The form of a cat was particularly useful to me. No one bats an eye for a curious cat wandering a little too close to a crime scene, after all. It was all too easy to watch the humans try to figure things out on their own. It was all to easy to see what they were missing, and give a little spark of insight to help them to figure it out. 

— Eilah  

Edeia are master shapeshifters, capable of taking the form of their previous form, an animal, an object, etc. Did any of your Edeia shapeshift into a mundane form to blend into society during the Age of Secrecy, whether regularly or in a particular circumstance? 

Design Prompt:
Design a shapeshifted mundane disguise for your Edeia. It can be a human, animal, object, plant, etc.; any mundane creature or object. Many "disguises" are simply the Edeia's previous form, and you can design that as well. 

• Must be fullbody with no cropping

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

Also, they must be "decent," i.e. wearing clothes or something if they have parts to cover. If parts do not show normally and/or they are as decent as any other of their species would be, that is fine. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork of your Edeia in their shapeshifted disguise, perhaps in a situation in which they would use that disguise. 

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost, allowing for artistic cropping; two characters - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up).

  • At least one character must be your Edeia. The other character can be anyone else, and can even be an abstract representation of an individual, as in the example with Eilah. 

• Fully colored. Shading not required.

• Full color background with some sort of environment, but does not have to be detailed.

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the situation, whether a reflection by the character (as in the example with Eilah), a summary of what happens typically or describing a particular day/event, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia using their mundane disguise to blend in or hide or such during the Age of Secrecy.

• Minimum word count: 1500 words

August 2022 Prompt: Memory

I had a dream last night. I knew it was a dream from the start - that was the first strange thing. And then... I realized everything was so vivid. So real. But it couldn't be, because I was in the past. The last day I saw them. 

I don't know if this was a blessing or a curse, because I knew I couldn't save them - not in reality, at least, for they were long gone. But... here, in the dream. Here, I had my power, and my experiences... I had the whole life I'd lived past that day, and I managed to convince them to spend a day with me instead. It was nice. It was a nice dream.  

Throughout the month, Edeia who sleep or otherwise enter a state of lower consciousness have been experiencing vivid, lucid dreams of the past - particularly, days of great importance to them personally. 

Design Prompt:
Design your Edeia's previous form.

• Must be fullbody with no cropping

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

Also, they must be "decent," i.e. wearing clothes or something if they have parts to cover. If parts do not show normally and/or they are as decent as any other of their species would be, that is fine. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork of your Edeia in the dream of their past. It can be realistic, surreal, anything in between. Your Edeia will be an "Edeia" in the dream, with the full range of their capabilities, though they can present as their humanoid/hybrid form, past form, or previous form. 

• Options: for one character - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); two or more characters - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up). 

  • At least one character must be your Edeia. The other character can be anyone else, and can even be an abstract representation of an individual, as in the example with Val. 

• Fully colored, with either shading or some sort of effect/texture (so long as it is not simply flat). 

• Full color background but can be simple / blurred / not very detailed

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the dream, whether a reflection by the character (as in the example with Val), a summary of what happens in the dream, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia experiencing the dream of their past. In all cases, they are aware that it is a dream, and they can access their Edeia abilities in the dream. Do they do everything exactly the same? Do they try to change things? Do they find the experience a positive or cathartic one? A distressing one? You can also write about them waking up from it and/or reflecting on it, as well as moments leading up to the dream, such as hearing about other Edeia experiencing it. 

• Minimum word count: 1500 words

July 2022 Prompt: For Another

In the spirit of Art Fight this month, I thought I'd make a prompt where you draw others' Edeia! However, please note that using a piece for both this prompt and Art Fight goes against the spirit of Art Fight, and is not permitted. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork of someone else's Edeia! 

• Options: for one character - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); two characters - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up); three or more - head/bust.

• Fully colored. Shading not required.  

• Full color background but can be simple / blurred / not very detailed

June 2022 Prompt: Pride

It's that time of year again - Pride Month! Celebrate your identity, or explore what it could be. 

• For prompts involving Morph, I may not have energy to discuss detailed interactions with everyone, so mentions and artwork may be preferred to detailed dialogic interactions. You must ask first for detailed interactions, and I may not accept all of them. If you have any questions on how they would act, feel free to ask in the #character-lore-and-ideas or #questions-suggestions-feedback channel.

Art Prompt:
You have two options. 

1.  Pride art of your Edeia! Draw your Edeia with LGBTQIA+ paraphernalia (flags, scarves, etc.), shifted pride colors, doing magic with flag colors, or anything else you can think of to celebrate. 

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost, allowing for artistic cropping; two characters - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up).

• Fully colored and shaded 

• Full color background but can be simple / blurred / not very detailed

2. Draw your character meeting with Morph, Edeia of Gender Euphoria. Please refer to their Interaction Guidelines.

• Option 1 minimum: fullbody or almost for both, fully colored (no shading needed), full color background with suggestion of some environment (forest? city? Abstraction?) but can be simple / blurred / not very detailed.

• Option 2 minimum: halfbody for both, fully colored and shaded, full color background with some environment.

Writing Prompt:
You have two options. 

1.  Write a scene involving your Edeia, Edeia previous form, fusion, or fission fragment(s) discovering or exploring some aspect of their gender identity, romantic orientation, sexual orientation, etc. 

2.  Write a scene involving Morph, whether directly or indirectly. Please refer to their Interaction Guidelines. Some ideas for indirect interactions, which require minimal input from me: you can have a character reflecting on an encounter with Morph or xyr butterflies or living through their experiences after a magical transition, you may discuss a desire to participate in a Pride Morph or their experience of it, you can have your character observing a Pride Morph as an Edeia and not participate, etc. If you want a direct interaction with dialogue, please ask me first; I may not accept all cases and may be more willing if they only have a few lines.  

For either option:

• Minimum word count: 1200 words

• The preferred method of submission is a Google Doc. If you wish, you can turn on comment permissions on the submission doc to allow general critique from Auspice/mods on your writing. General audience should not comment in the doc itself. 

• You may wait until after feedback to post to social media/Toyhouse if you like, but additional prompt fills by you will not be approved until a previous one is posted.

• If you collaborate on the writing, the minimum word count is 2200 words and will count for both of you.

May 2022 Prompt: Unity

The identity of an Edeia is the core of its being, yet from the very beginning, they could join with another to become a part of a new being.

• You may make four submissions for this prompt, one design, one artwork, one writing, and an additional design or artwork with a fusion involving another owner's Edeia. The same or different designs/Edeia can be used for different types. 

• If you do not own any Edeia, you can use any Edeia owned by someone else with permission for all prompts, but you may only submit one of each. 

Design Prompt:
Design a fusion. If it is between your own characters, at least one component must be an Edeia. For a fusion with another owner, it must involve Edeia from both of you. 

• Must be fullbody, clean, with no cropping

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

• Please include their name, pronouns, and components. 

• An approved design will also be added to the fusion ML. You can provide a TH profile/tab link if you like. 

If you are collaborating on the design, it will count for both of you, but you must complete additional requirements: 

• You must complete a conceptualization for the fusion, though no fields are optional. Note that you will not receive the additional artwork that is normally given - though I do something similar as a gift later if I am inspired and have the energy for it. 

• Age does not have to be exact, but please provide some sense of how long ago the fusion first came to be. 

• Height does not have to be exact and can be variable, but please provide something to get a sense at least. You can also put them on the Edeia Height Chart.

• Refer to this for Abstraction info.

• If you have a TH tab/profile for the fusion, please put the info in it. You can change it later, of course. 

Art Prompt:
You have two options. 

1. Draw artwork of a fusion illustrating some of their character - doing something they like, being somewhere they like, etc. The minimum requirements are as follows, though you are welcome to do more:

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost, allowing for artistic cropping; two characters - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up). Only one must be a fusion.

• Fully colored and shaded 

• Full color background with some sort of environment; does not need to be detailed or a full scene

2. Make an animation of your Edeia fusing. Minimum requirements: 

• colored, but can be rough

• must have a fullbody representation of the involved Edeia and of the final fusion. 

• does not need to be high frame-rate, but the flow and movement should be clear. 

• You can also make an animation of fission and/or reintegration (re-fusing of fission parts).

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia fusion. Perhaps they fuse for the first time, or perhaps they do some activity they usually do. Perhaps they fuse and unfuse and then discuss the experience with others. You may also write about fission fragments, so long as the fragments themselves are focused on. 

• Minimum word count: 1000 words

• If you wish, you can turn on comment permissions on the submission doc to allow general critique from Auspice/mods on your writing. General audience should not comment in the doc itself.

• If you collaborate on the writing, the minimum word count is 2000 words and will count for both of you.

Edeia are capable of taking many forms. Does yours?

Design Prompt:
Design a hybrid/humanoid form or an alternate form.

• Must be fullbody with no cropping

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

Also, they must be "decent," i.e. wearing clothes or something if they have parts to cover. If parts do not show normally and/or they are as decent as any other of their species would be, that is fine. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork of your Edeia shapeshifting from one form to another. Minimum requirements:

• Some representation of the main Edeia form and a different form, but may be abstract/surreal

• Full color, and minimal shading and/or effects (i.e. glows and such. So long as it isn't just flat colors.)

• Full color background (a scene is not necessary, but at least something more interesting than a flat color background would be good)

Write a scene involving your Edeia making use of their shapeshifting abilities for a particular purpose. Perhaps they take a human disguise to blend in in the age of secrecy, or they become enraged and take on a more terrifying form.

• Minimum word count: 1500 words

• If you wish, you can turn on comment permissions on the submission doc to allow general critique from Auspice/mods on your writing. General audience should not comment in the doc itself.

February 2022 Prompt: Connections

A particular type of relationship is often celebrated this month, but it is not the only meaningful connection we can have.

Art Prompt:
Draw artwork involving/illustrating a meaningful and overall positive relationship involving at least one of your Edeia. The other character does not need to be an Edeia, and does not need to be yours. Perhaps it is a gesture in their language of love (words of affirmation, acts of service, touch, quality time, gifts) or something else. You may use humanoid, alternate, and other temporary forms of your Edeia.

The minimum requirements are as follows, though you are welcome to do more:

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost, allowing for artistic cropping; two characters - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up). 

• Fully colored and shaded 

• Full color background with some sort of environment; does not need to be detailed or a full scene

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving/illustrating a meaningful and overall positive relationship involving at least one of your Edeia, before or after Actualization. The other character does not need to be an Edeia and does not need to be yours.

January 2022 Prompt: New Beginnings

The world turns, and time marches on. Yet it is also the start of something new, something unknown. A new beginning. 

Design Prompt:
Design your Edeia's previous form. Most Edeia were once human, but they may be animals or fantastical creatures. If they are a fantastical creature that would not be found in mundane Earth, note that they must originate from a different dimension.

Art Prompt:
Draw artwork of your Edeia doing or experiencing something for the first time, or something related to "new beginnings." For instance, they could be experiencing the first day after Actualization, they could be experiencing the first day of the new year, they could be using magic for the first time, they could be trying on new clothes or eating something, etc. There is much freedom with this prompt. You may use their main form, alternate form, humanoid/hybrid form, or previous form. 

The minimum requirements are as follows, though you are welcome to do more:

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost, allowing for artistic cropping; two characters - partial bodies (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more - halfbodies (chest/equivalent up). 

• Fully colored and shaded 

• Full color background with some sort of environment; does not need to be detailed or a full scene

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia doing or experiencing something for the first time, or something related to "new beginnings." Same spiel as the art prompt, though you can use/involve the previous form as well.

November 2021 Prompt: Cat Days

It is time for the Cat Edeia!

Design Prompt:
Design a cat form for your Edeia. While all the cat Edeia I have designed generally have a similar style and body type, you are free to draw them with a different style/level of realism, and/or as a different kind of feline. 

• Must be fullbody with no cropping

• The cat form must resemble the Edeia's form and use the same color palette. 

• No shading required, but you may if you wish 

• No background required, but you can add something if you like.

Art Prompt:
Draw artwork of cat Edeia.  In all cases:

• Fullbody or almost

For one cat Edeia:

• Fully colored and shaded

• Full color background with a clear setting

  • Scenery can be somewhat blurred/undetailed, but it should be clear what the setting is - whether a forest, a meadow, a library, an Abstraction, etc.

For two cat Edeia:

• Fully colored, at least minimal shading

• Full color background with some sort of environment; does not need to be detailed or a full scene
