Prompts
Picture Perfect
[Special Prompt]
Capture a snapshot of your dinosaur having some fun in the sun! Using the provided frame base (see below), you must draw a portrait or scene of a character and color/design the frame around them. Depict your character in a positive mood and/or having a good time- whatever that may entail!
At minimum, you must include a clean, colored, shaded bust portrait (from the chest/shoulders up) of your focus character. Backgrounds are optional, but your submission should not have a transparent background, so please at least include a solid color backdrop. Due to the nature of this prompt, we are unable to accept literature entries- sorry!
Frame file links:
You may not alter the existing lineart (besides coloring the lines, if you so choose). But if you’d like to add additional details, you may do so! Details on top of the lineart, such as more symbols/decor, are fine to add. You may make the frame larger or smaller depending on the canvas size you wish to use. You may adjust colors however you like.
You are welcome to draw larger scenes, include additional characters, and/or collaborate if you so choose. Frame the moment you want to see to commemorate this anniversary!
Lucky Number 7
[Story Quest]
Happy Anniversary Primeval Age!
It's time to head down to the beach and party the night away! Depict your character celebrating at a Beach or Coastal Area, featuring the number 7. Perhaps they throw a feast with 7 different dishes, or invite 7 of their best friends! Or even wearing 7-themed party hats - as long as the number is prominently featured in some way!
Your entry must be created or collab’d by you.
Real World Dinosaurs
[Special Prompt]
And now: something entirely different.
Take a photo of something dinosaur-related! This can be anything from dinosaur figures or fossils you may have at home to street art, museum exhibits, or any other sort of dinosaur you encounter in your life.
You must include your PrimevalARPG site username in the photo. We’d recommend placing or holding up a piece of paper with your username on it!
If you are able to, we highly encourage you to go out and seek out a cool dino-themed subject for this photo. We’ll be highlighting a few of the pieces we like the best, so the more creative, the better!
[Note: photos of traditional art that you’ve made won’t count for this.]
You do not have to post your photo to our gallery or any other public area if you so choose; stash links, Discord links, etc. are all acceptable for this prompt, so long as staff can view it.
Flock Them Up
[Design Quest]
Draw your dinosaur interacting with a neuquenraptor (or several) that you create! The neuquenraptor(s) you draw must have an original design- please do not use any existing neuquenraptor design. We will be selecting some of our favorite user-made designs from these pieces to use as inspiration and turn them into real starter imports for our roster!
Literature entries are accepted as well, but users must describe the appearance of the neuquenraptor(s) in significant detail.
Setting: this scene must take place in a beachy or watery place of some sort.
Each user can include up to 3 neuquenraptor character designs. If submitting a collaboration piece, please note which designs were created by each person involved. Creators of winning designs will each receive a bonus prize!
Your entry must be created or collab’d by you.
