Guidelines
A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. In order to get your submission accepted, you must follow them.
General guidelines.
- Don't upload stolen art or copyrighted art.
- Don't upload NSFW content. This is includes but is not limited to: Gore, genitals, or inappropiate content in general. Keep it PG-13.
- Don't upload fursonas you will use later, upload only the ones you've just baked and you're willing to sell. (Example: Don't upload your own main fursona.)
- If you're not an artist and you're willing to sell something you commisioned from an artist, please, make sure you've got permission from the original artist and let them know you're going to upload the art in here for commercial usage, with an exclusive license.
- If you have purchased an NFT in furry.auction and you're willing to resell it, you don't have to fill out the form, just contact us: contact@furry.auction with the TokenID of the NFT you're willing to resell.
The adoptable
An adoptable is a fursona made to be sold to someone whoever likes it the most.
This means that you, as an artist, can make any fursona design you want, without limitations, as long as they're a furry.
But bear in mind that a buyer must like it enough to bid for it!
Our goal in Furry Auction is to simplify the task of selling an adoptable by providing a platform where you can start an auction with them, where users will define the real value of your art, and at the same time, make your adoptable perpetual in the blockchain and useful for commercial or personal cases.
Name
The name must have less than 17 characters.
Description
The description can be as long as you want, but try not to write a book there. Put something that describes the adoptable the best. It may not be a good idea to give a personality, age, etc to the fursona, as often people buy them to cast their own ideas on them.
Image
With "Image", we mean your art.
You can make your art by the way you like. Want to do it 3D? No problem. 2D? Sure! Gonna use clay? That may be an overkill.
Your image must be a full body image of a fursona, from the head to the foots, posing in horizontal any angle, in an orthographic or normal perspective. (Just Google "furry ref sheet" if you're not sure what I'm talking about.)
We give you a total creative freedom. You can put any background you want. You can even add extra references, such as clothery, facial expressions, etc.
Just remember: The adoptable, after all is a fursona reference that the user may use to commision artists. So, add as much angles and references you can.
Image technical specs:
- Max image weight: 5 MB.
- Minimum resolution: 2150 px x 1370 px (This leads to a 0.8 - 1.5MB image).
- Recommended resolution: 6450 px x 4110 px (This resolution usually weighs 4MB - 5MB). If you exceed the 5MB threshold, go for 4300 px x 2740 px.
- JPG, PNG, WEBP or GIF.
- If using PNG, you can add transparency to your image. Remember that users can switch the theme from light to dark, therefore changing your image background color.
Good examples:
There are some examples of NFTs with well structured images (Contains at least 1 full body fursona), tags and name. In this case, we will use the description to describe why each NFT is a good example.
This provides more than enough info to be a valid adoptable. This features a simple full body turnable and a facial close up with 2 expressions.
Animated adoptables are ok, but they're a risky move since you must reduce the image quality in order to not exceed the max 5MB file size. We recommend the use of animated WEBP files as they're smaller than GIFs.
This sample art features a fox. While you can just draw a single full body fursona and nothing else (Like the gif example on the left), we encourauge you to use the 100% of the image by adding extra references.
As we've stated before, it doesn't matter the way you structure your art: As long as we have the full-body picture of the fursona, you're good to go!
Bad examples:
There are some examples of NFTs with BAD images, tags and name, and therefore they won't be accepted. Again, we will use the description to describe why each NFT is a good example.
Ok, hear me out. This one looks better than the good examples, but as you can see, there's only the head, which means this is pretty much useless as an adoptable and will get rejected.
This is another example of what not to do. First, this is only a headshot and not a full-body fursona, just like the example on the left. Besides, in Furry Auction we sell furries, not trash.
