Ok guys, so i've been thinking for a while, I took chibi requests a good while back now and made a small group of shinlai chibis. But since then i've developed a neater style for chibi's and I want to make a huge batch of all existing shinlai (which would be updated regularly once new shinlai come in to scene too.) I know there are a lot of shinlai that are not on DA, or who's design isn't finalized. I'd love it if you guys could post refs of yours :) i'll still go hunt down anyone who doesn't post their ref.

I have a question, mainly for the mods: There are a great number of shinlai from previous adoption contests that were marked as valid shinlai once the contest was over. I've seen a huge deal of them be neglected and the artists have not touched them since that one pic. example: http://felizz.deviantart.com/art/Contest-entry-AlanaRoseheart-147773088?q=boost%3Apopular%20shinlai&qo=206 (i don't exactly want to point fingers buttt). What exactly if going to be done about that?

Welllll obivously I have some little lai who love being draw as chibis!

So i'll just pop there ref. here :3

Usually when a certain amount of Shinlai go inactive we wind up noting the owners asking them to please use the character, drop it, or give it to us so we can allow someone who actually wants a Shinlai to have a shot at one. It doesn't happen as often as it should sadly. D: I think we did wind up saying something to that person actually. She had told us that commissions had gotten in the way of her drawing her Shinlai, that she hardly draws any of her characters, and then that she didn't get why we were threatening to take her Shinlai away.

Reality is that not everyone is going to understand and everyone has their own methods of paying attention to their characters. We try to regulate, but as the group gets bigger, those bum Lai are going to pop up every now and again. There's not much we can do to prevent it.

The proper thing for you to do would be to sift through active members with Shinlai. Not just the Shinlai themselves. That way you aren't wasting your time on a concept that is inadvertantly gathering dust.

*flails* I'm going to comeback to post some refs :3 (I still have to finish Icarus' D: )

Is there a sort of deadline for when you want refs posted? Like if you don't have refs by, say, -random date- then you won't include them in the line of Lai chibis?

I would love to see all my shinlai as chibis in your style again!!! I love how you draw them!!! But I need to update them first. I miss my photoshop!!!

That's a really impressive goal!
