POINTS ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM
Points are Rise of the Clan's official group currency. Below is the official guide for how group currency is assigned to media submissions.
ARTWORK SUBMISSIONS
The following point system is "Per Character" present in the artwork. This points rubric is universal across all mediums (i.e. traditional, digital, mixed media, etc.) and art styles, with the exception of chibi artwork, as specifically defined by the artist.
HEADSHOT / BUST
Sketch: 5 points
Add clean lines: +5 points
Add color: +5 points
Add shading: +5 points
HALFBODY
Sketch: 15 points
Add clean lines: +5 points

FULLBODY
Sketch: 20 points
Add clean lines: +5 points
Add color: +10 points
Add shading: +10 points
Adding a simple background (BG) to any of the above: +5 points
Simple BGs are defined as: hand-drawn patterns, additional hand-drawn props, or non-detailed scenes. Solid colors, gradients, and art program-generated backgrounds such as polka dots or zig-zags, are NOT considered simple BGs.
FULL PIECES
Full Piece: Start at 60 points
Full pieces are defined as a fully colored, shaded, scene of a character with a detailed background. These pieces start at a minimum of 60 points. Number of characters present and overall level of detail included will increase the final points earned for a full piece. Every full piece is handled on a case by case basis and is by far the most subjective when it comes to assigning points. While the staff team is open to discussions and inquiries into points assignment breakdown, but at the end of the day, the staff team's decision is final.
