___
Grayscale Art
Grayscale artwork can still get the Colored bonus if the drawing shows a certain amount of effort in making the markings visible and clear value-wise. If the drawing only shows the shading the Colored bonus won't be applied.
___
___
Simplistic/Chibi
Simplistic art will count only half of the points.
Certain styles (chibi, lineless, clearly stylized, etc) can still be considered valid for the whole amount of points depending on the amount of details/effort put into it and the average skill level of your gallery. This means that if you only draw chibi stuff or it is as detailed as your average non-chibi drawing it will still be counted as long as it doesn't look too rushed.
Minimum size for full points is 200px.
Minimum size for full points is 200px.
___
Pixel Art
Minimum size required is 50x50px, suggested is at least 100px on one side.
Valid characters can't be smaller than 30-40 px (might vary, ask if you're in doubt) and must have discernible details.
As long as they're on par with the rest of your pixel art and you follow all the requests in the prompt it will receive all points, otherwise it'll be counted as Simplistic.

STATUS
Magnaraks undergo lots of quick full or partial molts during their lives, but three molts during adulthood are more important than others. These molts require the Magnarak to build a nest and hide into it for some days/weeks so that they can molt safely since their exoskeleton needs more time to harden than during a normal molt. The final molt takes place in Arakne's Crypt, a giant geode cave, where the Magnaraks receives the blessing of their Ancestor.
Magnaraks grow larger and stronger during these molts and can face tasks that would have been too dangerous before the molt.
