• Anonymity is required, so do not post your piece anywhere else during the competition. This includes, but is not limited to, personal websites, tumblr, DeviantArt, etc. Doing so will result in instant disqualification.

General Guidelines:
All participants or those interested in the contest must go to the provided link above and read over the guidelines. Users must adhere to the rules in order to participate in any of the RPG competitions. Please post any questions regarding this week's theme in this thread, or post to show general interest. If you have a question about the theme that make your entry no longer anonymous, please contact the AOTM account via PM.

As another note, be SURE to upload your submission to tinypic or imgur, and use the direct link for layouts as your submission link. Photobucket, image shack, and deviantart are NOT acceptable, for they are not anonymous methods for your entry.

There have been a few additions and changes to the 'Rules of the Month,' so be mindful of them - such as the division between Casual and Advanced. As another note, be aware that ALL Advanced entries MUST be submitted with the final piece, and a PSD / or links to the original stocks used for any graphics.

The division between Casual and Advanced is a personal choice to help ensure beginner artists are not overlooked against more advanced designers. AOTM Advanced winners are not allowed to re-enter the Casual competition; however, AOTM Casual winners have the choice to remain in Casual, or move to Advanced.

Artists, grab your camera, your sketchpad, your tablet, Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever tools you wish to use to complete your piece!

So, I'm actually considering entering this month.

That said, and I think I understand this component but I'm just clarifying, the "5 different colors" component means the rainbow colors, and then 5 colors not used in the rainbow?As in, if I have a rainbow that's red, yellow, green, blue and purple- I have to choose 5 colors other than those listed for that component?

[Lustre]

No, but you can't count the colours in the rainbow toward your five. So even if your rainbow is ROYGBIV, you have to have, say, Red, Orange, Green and Blue elsewhere in the piece.

White and Black do not count as colours in this instance.

I've clarified the following rule, as there appeared to be some questions regarding it.

Physically create something. A physical object, such as a badge, or a plushy.
