❗ PROMPT SUBMISSIONS can sometimes take around 14 days to be approved or declined!
Approval times will also take longer during ARPG events, real life situations that need staff attention, or if your submission has an issue that requires additional discussion. If you'd like your submission to be sent back to you before it is approved or rejected please post in the discord!
What are prompts?
Prompts are themed art/writing quests and challenges that are geared towards developing your Celestial Seas character. You are rewarded for creating content of your character! Many prompts can also be completed as gift art so you may earn game currency by drawing artwork for others.
Everyone is welcome to do prompts regardless of skill level. We all start somewhere. Prompts are not judged based on art or writing skill, we only check if they meet the minimum requirements for ARPG rewards!
how to submit a prompt
Submit a prompt by using the first option below and selecting the prompt you wish to submit for on the dropdown menu OR going to the prompt list and selecting the "submit prompt" button on the prompt you wish to submit for.
Submit Prompt Prompt List
What are the rewards?
Completing prompts mainly awards stargold (sg). However some prompts also grant additional game currencies, traits, and items that you can use. Currencies earned in the ARPG can be spent in the shops to obtain trait potions, usable items, pets, character editing items, and additional character creation slots. They can also be traded with other users!
❗ WHEN SUBMITTING A PROMPT ENTRY: You MUST include a breakdown of all your SG bonuses in a list format so we can double check them
EVEN IF you use the auto calculator your submission will be sent back if the breakdown list is not included
Example:
+5sg Base
+5sg Simple Background
+2sg Additional Character (1)
+1sg Apparel Item [FROSTFALL SCARF]
Total: 13sg
❗ THERE IS A MAX CAP OF 60sg EARNED ON ANY SINGLE PROMPT SUBMISSION! Anything past 60sg will not be counted! Certain items overwrite the CAP, these are: LUCKY KETTLECAT, LUCKY DICE, and any items that roll a RANDOM amount of SG in addition to your earnings such as FORTUNE LIGHTGLASS.
What if I don't have a character?
You are able to draw prompts as gift art UNLESS it states otherwise. You are also able to use NPCs and COMMUNITY CHARACTERS for your prompts.You can find can also find characters open to gift art here and writing here.Can I do a prompt with only a companion pet?
Prompts that can be done as companion-only are marked as such. Some examples are seasonal open-ended prompts, the Wisher's Well, the "Little Friends, Big Adventures" prompt, and certain event prompts.Where can I host my prompt submission files?
Websites like deviantart, sta.sh, dropbox, google drive, google docs, gyazo, imgur, or any other image-hosting website that you can provide a direct link to.
Please make sure we will be able to view the file you submit by marking it as public!

PNG, JPEG, GIF
For written works please submit a viewable google doc! Do NOT post your writing in the comments section.
You can submit scans or photos of traditionally drawn/painted work and crafts as long as they are clear. At this time traditional writing will not be accepted to assure readability.Can I submit the same drawing to multiple prompts?
Each image must be unique and can only be submitted to ONE PROMPT. If you submit any version of an artwork to a prompt you cannot re-submit it elsewhere even if edits have been made. You must entirely remake the prompt.What happens if my submission is rejected?
You will NOT lose your place in queue. Please make the requested edits and resubmit. If you are rejected on a limited time prompt you will have some wiggle room to resubmit before it's closed for good. It is recomended to avoid any last minute submissions!
For prompts with cooldowns even if you are rejected your submission only counts for the period in which it was originally submitted.Can I simplify my character or tweak them in prompts?
Yes! As long as we can still clearly tell they are the same character and as long as entries are not being used as a way to clearly and consistently give the character traits they do not have you can have fun playing with the design! Ex: You can use funky eyes and weird proportions for added effect, but putting wings on a design that doesn't have them will be turned down!
• Features that cannot be entirely excluded: anything defining to the character, primary traits such as their horn and tail styles and wings, very defining species traits if they would be visible in the composition ie: browbird crests, browbird nose stripe, satyr patches
• Features that can be simplified: markings, colors, complex traits like mythic horns, exposed bone, large aspect mastery traits. Detailed/complex mythic crests, primary traits like wings/horns/tails, species anatomy. Think of simplifying like drawing a less detailed, approximate, or "low-poly" version of a character.
• Features that can be excluded/hidden: Small markings and accent markings, detail not necessary to define a character at a distance, certain additional traits, satyr flora, astrean wings or any wings affected by the wing charm, and any feature that would be hidden by clothing or hair.
• Features that don't need to be accurate: Small details, colors, markings, smaller traits, any traits marked as "additional" or "other", fur, hair as long as it's at least close in color, eyes, trait sizing as long as it's roughly close, asymmetrical design featuresCan I stylize my character in prompts?
Yes! Chibis, different art styles, more exaggerated anatomy, and abstract artworks are all permitted as long as we can clearly tell they are the same character and as long as any alterations follow the guidelines above.Can I do collabs or submit a commissioned prompts?
Not at this time, but it is planned for the future. NO ETA currently.Can I submit multiple prompts together?
Each individual prompt MUST be submitted separately, no batch submissions. Submitting multiple images together will count it as ONE prompt. If you want separate payouts for separate submissions you must submit them as individual prompts.
You can have multiple submissions in queue for different prompts at the same time however!How big can my character be?
Character HEIGHTS should remain roughly close to standard species sizes.
Browbirds are 4'-7' tall / Halvs can be up to 10' in monstrous form
Painted Satyr are 4'-7' / Feybloods can be up to 10' tall in centaur or monster form
Kitbull are 1' - 4' when standing upright / longbulls are 1' - 5' tall when quad and can be up to 12' long Trubull are 4' - 7'
SOME DESIGNS may have alternate height allowances which will be detailed in their traits/description.
You do not have to keep consistent sizing across prompts.What is allowed for magic in prompts?
As long as it does not break another guideline and reads as something feasible by your character's magical aspect it is okay to freely interpret your character's magic and abilities for prompts.Can I draw a character even if they are not marked open for gift art?
As long as you show us proof that you got permission from the current owner it is okay!How do I get my character included in other people's prompts?
You can mark your character open for gift art on their individual profile. Go to your characters to do so! This will also make it possible for them to show up on the RANDOM FEATURED CHARACTER panel, which changes weekly.How often can I do prompts?
Prompts can be done either DAILY, WEEKLY, or MONTHLY. QUEST PROMPTS can be done ONCE PER CHARACTER. Most event prompts and any legendary quests are one-time per account prompts. Each prompt's time limit and entry amount are specific to that specific prompt!Can I use bases for prompts?
The only prompt that allows bases is Celestial Seas Creations However you MAY do one-time YCH-style gift/trade submissions to any prompt as long as it is only used once.How do I report a submission?
If a submission makes you uncomfortable, breaks a rule, or otherwise has an issue you want us to take a look at or that was missed on approval please file a report here.Can I get staff to pre-check my submission before submitting it?
If you have a quick question you can ask us on discord (ex: "Would this count for a complex background?) However please do not request full reviews/payout checks or incremental check ins. It is better to finish your entry using the guidelines to the best of your ability and submit.
❗ HEAVY GORE, NUDITY, NSFW, FETISH, AND ANYTHING BREAKING COMMUNITY GUIDELINES ARE NOT PERMITTED ON ENTRIES AT ALL!
All submissions must be PG-13 at most. Some blood, injuries, and very minor gore is OK as long as it is warned for in the comments section.
If a character is drawn without full clothing NO genitals or nipples should be showing or implied regardless of gender. In the past we did not decline flat chested nipples, however to keep things fair across genders it is no longer permitted on any new submissions after APRIL 2023.
• REAL LIFE EVENTS should not be directly referenced at all.
• Sexual assault or child abuse are not allowed in submissions.
• Racism, antisemitism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia should not be submitted in any capacity.

You are, of course, able to develop your characters outside of what you submit to the site. These are just the website rules. However please always be mindful of the TOS and COMMUNITY GUIDELINES when posting any content using the Celestial Seas IP offsite.

(Not lighting - but rather some of the design intentionally missing colors)
3. Clean sketch or lined with CLEAN SHADING or SHADING THAT HAS DEPTH or b&w paintings - Not allowed on most prompts but may be accepted for CERTAIN PROMPTS
