RE: Rejected 1UP Mascot Sketches for Contest
Hi Dunsky, thank you for your design but I cannot accept it. It doesn't follow the contest rules. First of all you have created a new mascot and that was not the goal. We already have a mascot and just wanted you to draw it. You have not used cartoon-style but some kind of 3D character. You have not used the Utopian colors as requested. I am sorry.
You can contact us on Discord.

Oh, I see now :) No problem! I can only draw like that. In this sense I think it would be fair for others if you include some references of your view what is "cartoon-style". My style is also cartoon for many people. I found Utopian colors too acid that's why I've tried to minimize them to the band on the character's wrist so I've used them acutally and you can find them by eyedropper tool in my work :)
But anyway no problem, I appreciate your contest because I've created all these crazy shrooms because you've inspired me. So I was glad to try and want to say thank you.
It is not a matter of cartoon-style or not. The colors are 100% required! And the mascot is already ready and you created some entirely different mascots. That's the main reason why I cannot accept it. I like your art but it has nothing to do with 1UP. :)
It must look like this:
But you have already earned 3 times more with this than all other contributors will so I guess no harm done.
No problem. Just for non native English speaking maybe next contest rules should be explained a bit more clearly.
