Prompt: It's the start of the new year. Does your character have a new outfit, new accessory (like a new helmet, blaster, shield, trinket, or something stabby), cool new scars or tattoo's? Or do you have a new character all together? Let's see what wonderful new things the new year has brought. Make a portrait of your new character, your character's new look, outfit, scars/tattoo's, or even just your characters new accessory(s).

Btw... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

• No pressure, as this will be done with blind judging.
  
• Formats: .PNG, .JPG, .PDF.
  
• Useful Digital Tools: GIMP, Photoshop, Krita, Sketchbook.
  
• Grading Criteria: Mostly I'll be looking at the Herald Graphics Grading Rubric, with some variances, such as I'll be looking at how well the linework is done, since these are going to be coloring pages, so no colors just lines. If there is line work that might need to be touched up before going in the book, vs the linework is great and translates well to be a clear picture to color... stuff like that. I will be more than happy to provide my grading system to anyone who asks for it after each sub competition.
  
• Also don't forget, that if you're not comfortable with linework or line art itself, and you prefer painting / working in full color. Don't worry, you can still paint in full color, and submit that, just be warned it'll be inelegible for placement, but you'll still get participation and clusters of Graphite. Look back at the Parent comp for more details on this Special Rule.
