Sorry I deleted the post due to grammatical errors. Here's the new one:

The instagram posts don't seen to want to link properly. It's still not showing. I would upload your image to a website like Postimage.org, and use the direct link from that.

I have it uploaded to deviantart. Here it is: [Img] https://www.deviantart.com/superocelot02/art/Shaded-matcha-boba-tea-856422465[/img]
Did it work?

hey superocelot02, one way of knowing if it will work is that your link has to end with an image file name, such as .jpg or .png. Linking the website won't work, you have to only just link the image itself that is hosted on the website.

The link itself takes you to deviant, I can see it there. (Good job btw big improvement to how it looked before) but it won't work on here. I've tried for you, and it won't even let me. So I would recommend using somewhere such as Imgur to upload it, then get the link, then as FoxyDancer said, use .jpg or .png at the end of your link.

There is a thread for this in the event section, where you can test out if a link will work, so that this topic doesn't become flooded with image errors.

[Info] Posting images in forums (and PMs)

I think this is the link that you're trying to show.

@treehugger123
Yes it is

Wasn't it 60 days of seniority before? Or was that just a special going on?

It was for a limited time, to give newer players a chance to submit creations. We don't know if/when it will happen again.

Here is how to post your image (or any image in general)
1. Upload your image file to https://imgbb.com/ or just any other image hosting site.
2. When it is finished, it will give you a link. Copy and paste that into your search bar.
3. You will see your image on the site. Right-click and click "Copy Image Address" (it should end in a .png or a .jpg once you paste it)
4. Click the "Add an image" icon at the top of the box where you type your responses, Paste the image address you copied into the bar, or press Ctrl V.
5. Click "Preview" to make sure you see the image before you post.

What is the correct canvas sizing for the Helios Ray creations?

Also, when I tried loading an H. Ray creation, it said my file didn't fit the requirements even though it was a JPEG image. Any reasons why?

I'm struggling to submit a Golden Apple creation.
The file is within the size limit, is in .PNG format, the horse is within the lines and no part of it touches or overlaps where the black lines were in the template.
I removed the lines as instructed as well.

It still will not let me submit.
Any advice?

Re-download the template and put the creation on the template again. On a new layer (below the coat) fill the layer with black paint and check for pixels (recheck on white , red, and then yellow backgrounds as well). Sometimes there is that one tiny pixel that messes it all up.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you are not supposed to remove the lines of the template, you have to leave them on. Also good to check for stray pixels too though!

Thanks guys, I got it to submit.
I was being a silly billy and removed the lines as I read the instructions for the Helios instead of the Golden Apple.

You guys rock.
Hopefully my creation gets some votes.

I submitted two coats to the BP. I'm very nervous to be honest

People have asked this a lot, and I'm thinking about maybe trying to do a landscape for the helios in future too, so I'd like to know.

Where can I find/download the template?

What size does the painting you create, need to be to fit the helios ray template?

Is there any other advice that would be helpful when creating a ray? Like, issues when submitting etc to look out for?

Thanks

Is it possible to valid draw a coat and then transfer it via photocopy into digital? Or do i have to use graphic software.
Thx

I don't quite understand what you mean when you say valid draw.

But if you meant draw traditional then copy it / make it digital to fit the GA template, that is fine.

There are many free digital art programs you can use if you do need any though, so I wouldn't worry about that. A lot of people I know use GIMP.

BM page for the Black Pearl
It needs to be exactly 2006x840 pixels. If you ever forget, the info is easy to find on the first page of this thread.

I find that if you draw on a background exactly that size, there are no issues with submitting. You don't need to bother with erasing the horse in the box, for example, since the background goes over top it anyways.

Thanks so much FoxyDancer

Much appreciated

Good afternoon! I have a question about drawings for creative space. Could it be that more than one new golden apple coat will enter the game at the same time? If this is possible, do you know the artist players who had more drawings per game at a time? Thank you so much for your reply and sorry if there are any mistakes in this message, I am trying to make my English better.

It is possible to get two or more creations in the game at a time, but it is SUPER rare/difficult, even if you submit the maximum amount of creations allowed (which is 10).

I can't remember the names of the players that have gotten in two or more at the same time, but I'm sure you can just search up names in the creation directories and look at the dates that they were submitted.

I once got three accepted in a month (two coats and a ray) however that was a long time ago. I contacted Howrse this year asking if you can get multiple accepted and this is what they said -->

Thank you for your question regarding the creation space. In order to create a more balanced and fair environment, we are attempting to limit the creations that are accepted from a single player to 1 so that all creators have a bit higher chance.

However, it can still happen that several creations from the same player are accepted but that's really, really rare and most-apt to be in some cases such as a shortage of entries for a particular kind of creation.
