Rules

Rule 01. The bases you choose to use are entirely up to you.

As long as your base stays within the guidelines of the base criteria you choose for each theme.
Please do not use all tiny bases; try to moderate yourself and use different sizes.
No sprites.
Always credit the base with a clickable link
Even if you use your own base, please give us a link in case anyone wants to use it!
If the credit link is dead, you may use plain text (name of the site or the dead link)
If you can't remember who to credit, try posting on a forum and see if anyone can help. (you may still use those bases, but please at least try)
Baseless dolls are allowed. (as long as the base you create stays inside the criteria)

Rule 02. The themes must be in order.

You may doll whichever themes you'd like first, but you can only post the themes in order.
You can start with 1 and go up to 50, or start with 50 and go down to 1. Your choice.
You may interpret the themes however you wish, as long as it doesn't turn into 10 rounds of Kevin Bacon. (Example: Theme: Pirates. Your mental route: pirates - Pirates of the Caribbean - movie - movie stars - Alan Rickman. lol that's a no-no )

Rule 03. No dollmakers. No frankendolling. No frankenbasing.

Rule 04. Artistic blood/gore and nudity is allowed.

Rule 05. Props and backgrounds are encouraged!

You must create everything in your image yourself though All props, linearts, backgrounds, etc. must be 100% you.
Bases and palettes are the only exceptions.
This means no shrinking jpegs

Rule 06. Small animations are allowed.

Rule 07. Dolls must be new to this race.

Even if you have previously created a doll based on one of the themes here, please make something new for this event. (it's not fair otherwise, since it is a race)
You are more than welcome to double any doll you create here for another event, as long as it's alright with that event's host.

Rule 08. No size limit.

But we'll use 550 x 550 as a guideline
Please do not stretch the page.
Please make sure we can see the entire image without having to scroll.

Rule 09. You may include up to 5 dolls in each entry/image.

They must all create one image; so don't just throw 5 random dolls together.
You can only use one base (set) per entry; do not use two (or more) different bases in one image.
Remember that quantity does not replace quality! ;P

Rule 10. Only members will be able to participate.

(for anyone wondering, we want you to join our forum to post here so we can be sure it's actually you posting in your thread, otherwise, anyone could use your name and post. It will also allow you to edit your own posts, in case you want to update a doll or change something once posted, etc.)

If you have any questions, shimmy on over HERE. There are no stupid questions, even if you just want clarification on something, we'll get back to you asap! Rules 542709
