Challenge Requirements
For this odd Art RPG Portal Challenge, you will be taking your very own original character on an adventure to a new world. You will be using the character you registered in our Character Creation Challenge. If you haven’t registered a character yet, follow that link to do so!
Pick one of the prompts below and draw or write your registered character in this new world!
- If you are submitting art, it should be a sketched piece that shows at least half of your character’s body and a background that matches the prompt you have chosen. Shading and color is optional.
- If you are submitting writing, your registered character should be the focus of the piece. The piece should be at least 600 words and it must match the content of the prompt you have chosen.
- Submit your work to the queue at the bottom of this page. Copy paste the prompt you selected into the submission description. An admin from our team will process your request and grant your rewards. You'll receive a private message when the process is complete.
Prompts
Prompt #1 - Well, Glad it Wasn’t Occupied
It's dark and cramped in here. Eww… what is that smell? You can hear loud music outside, and lights flash through the vents at the top of the… Is this a port-a-potty? Draw or write your character portaling into a portable toilet.
Prompt #2 - Is This a Moldy Hamburger?
You snap out of the portal and in an instant, you’re falling. You don’t fall far, and your plummet is halted by a soft bed of-- oh. Oh ew, that’s slimy. Is that… is that moving? Draw or write your character portaling into a dumpster.
Prompt #3 - Anyone’s Welcome Here at 2AM, Just as Long as You Don’t Make a Scene
The portal snaps shut behind you, leaving you standing awkwardly close to an exhausted looking group of people at a table. There’s greasy food scattered across the plates in front of them, and the server going by on the other side of the table doesn’t even spare you a glance. Draw or write your character portaling into a seedy diner in the middle of the night.
Prompt #4 - Honestly Boss, We’ve Sent Like 28 People Through This Portal and We Still Don’t Know Where it Goes
Draw or write your character portaling into an ...oops? place of your own creation.
Prompt #5 - Clownery
The smoke (Smoke? Why is there smoke? Portals shouldn’t smoke) clears… and you’re standing before a colorful curtain. A tall man in a tophat and a red coat urges you forwards, and before you can resist, you’re in the ring. Tamped dirt at your feet, acrobatic wires and nets above your head, and a massive, shouting crowd made of species you know– and many you don’t– all around. Show your how your character handles being a performer in a circus they didn’t plan to be in. Your piece must include your character interacting with the Ringmaster or participating in the circus.
