Draw the Lucernan Above, or DTLA for short is an activity run through our discord. The idea is that you draw the person that posted before you, and the person who posts after you, will draw you.
We encourage experimentation for this activity but be sure to do your best to depict characters clearly and accurately! A sort of official gift exchange, but with a little extra rewards!
The character must be full body with color, and comply with the character's official design.
We ask that you put effort into these pieces to ensure fairness for everyone!
Characters must have completed the [ID Papers] prompt to participate. You must post a main character like Motti, Bunnaburra, etc. to play.
Fill the form out and post in the 🏮︱draw-the-lucernan-above channel
Do not edit or delete your form! If you make a mistake or need to edit (like fixing a broken link), then create a thread reply to yourself and specify the corrections. Do not make a thread to change your characters.
You must own the main character(s) you are posting.
If you only own one or two main characters you may supplement with any group NPC.
The characters posted to be drawn must be Lucernan characters. No outside CS or OCs allowed!
If your Mains have Companions attached, you may include them as well for additional bonuses.
Draw the person above you! You may not reply to your own post and draw yourself though.
You must at least draw one colored full body of a main character. A background is not required.
If someone gives multiple characters to choose from, you may decide to draw any number of them - or even all of them! For each main character you draw, you will gain 1,000 copper; however, this caps out at 3,000 copper per post.
If the Main characters have bonded familiars, mounts, or pets, those may be included for an additional 500 copper per companion included.
You may also choose to draw the same character multiple times to reach the 3,000 copper cap instead of three different ones.
Complete the art within 6 months of posting!

→ Including companions will add an additional 500 copper per companion included with their owner.
→ Companions will not count for copper if they are not included with their owner.
→ Companions don't have to be full body, but must be interacting with the character in a natural way. For example, putting a speech bubble with the companions head in it won't count, but including the companion wrapped around the character's shoulders, or near the character would.
→ The companion must also be colored.

We understand life happens so the penalties for not completing your art are time outs for participating specifically in art-exchange activities within the group. This may be things like DTLA, Draw to Raffles, Secret Santas etc.
If you don't complete the art within 6 months, you'll receive a "Bop."
DTLA example entry by Myde
→ The first Bop will result in a 1 month time out from gift exchange activities.
→ The second Bop will result in a 6 month time out from gift exchange activities.
→ The third Bop will result in a 1 year time out from gift exchange activities.
→ You may also receive bops from missing other art-exchange deadlines. (like Secret Santa)
→ If you get two sets of Bops (so six deadline misses), then you will be banned from art exchange activities altogether.
Even if you miss your deadline you will still receive rewards if you complete your owed art at a later time, though this doesn't remove the DTLA Bop from your account.
Aside from the timeouts or inability to participate in art-exchange activities, there is no ill will or strikes against those who have the Bops. We understand life happens!
