Are you guys and gals ready for the group's first Theme Opportunity?  Ready or not, here it is!  We've seen Daxter take up a job as an exterminator...but what other jobs would Daxter do for a living when he's not saving the world?  

The first 3 participants to submit an image of Daxter as a(n) [insert job title here] will receive a lined art request by :iconmay-ya:.  No deadline will be enforced.  The Theme Op ends when 3 entries have been received.  All participants (including all entries past #3) will receive 2 Precursor Orbs.  To those who are unfamiliar with the Theme Op guidelines, I've reposted them below.  Good luck!

---Theme Op Guidelines---  

The first 3 participants to submit an entry will receive a lined artwork request by the group's artistic contributor. However, you can't just scribble something together, call it an entry, submit it within the first day or two, and receive a prize in return. I need to see an honest effort, which will be determined by comparing the entry to other artwork in that person's gallery. To further encourage quality artwork under such a time-restraining system, I'd suggest adhering to this strategy: take all the time you need while regularly checking this page for entries by other participants. If you see that 2 entries have been submitted, consider that to be the time to finish your submission and upload it to DeviantART (and update later if so desired). Every submission will grant that person 2 Precursor Orbs (including every entry past the 3rd submission), and all submissions will be added to the Featured folder as well as the Theme Opportunity folder.

Welcome to The Daxter Sanctuary!

WHAT IS THE DAXTER SANCTUARY?

Welcome to The Daxter Sanctuary! The Daxter Sanctuary is a Daxter fan club dedicated to everyone's favorite Ottsel of the "Jak and Daxter" videogame series. My job is to collect strictly Daxter fan art . . . but not just any Daxter fan art, but the best Daxter fan art. Therefore, if you choose to submit artwork, be prepared to face possible rejection. I have received several complaints in the past regarding what I do or don't accept to the gallery. I think the best way to explain it is that a certain level of quality is expected that adheres roughly to the character's anatomy (and "cuteness" helps). Submissions must also maintain at least a remotely accurate anatomy. Also, any fan art depicting Daxter's human form will NOT, under any circumstances, be accepted. Fan art of other characters will be accepted, but ONLY if Daxter is in the picture while taking up a sizeable amount of the canvas.

WHAT ELSE DOES TDS DO?

From time to time, I'll hold Theme Opportunities--or "Theme Ops"--in which I will announce the a specific theme in a journal entry. The first 3 participants to submit an entry will receive a lined artwork request by the group's artistic contributor. However, you can't just scribble something together, call it an entry, submit it within the first day or two, and receive a prize in return. I need to see an honest effort, which will be determined by comparing the entry to other artwork in that person's gallery. To further encourage quality artwork under such a time-restraining system, I'd suggest adhering to this strategy: take all the time you need while regularly checking this page for entries by other participants. If you see that 2 entries have been submitted, consider that to be the time to finish your submission and upload it to DeviantART (and update later if so desired). Every submission will grant that person 2 Precursor Orbs (including every entry past the 3rd submission), and all submissions will be added to the Featured folder as well as the Theme Opportunity folder.

You rarely accept any pictures.

I know. Daxter fan art is expected to hold a certain amount of quality to be accepted to the gallery. Contest entries are the only exception. Please read the above dialogue box for details.

Where can I submit my Daxter piece for the competition? Thank you!! :3

:icondaxrulz:
Just notify me when you've submitted it, then click on "Submit to group" on your submission page and I'll accept it to the gallery. :)

Hopefully, the two I just submitted will be OK for the gallery. I will do a special Daxter piece, though, just for the contest! If you don't want those two in the gallery because it's not just Daxter, that's fine! :) I just wanted to share.
