WELCOME BACK TO THE INTERNET AESTHETICS COLLAB

Choose your favorite aesthetic, culture, subculture, fashion style, or look, and draw your character sporting it!
You only have until August 18th to participate!
What does that mean?
It means that starting August 19th, I will NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING NEW ENTRIES.
So hurry up—don't overthink it! Invite friends to join in on the aesthetic fun, and comment "I'm in" along with your chosen aesthetic so I can add you to the list!
There is no limit on how many people can choose a specific aesthetic, but I will start issuing warnings and double-checking if an aesthetic is chosen more than three times!
I recommend reading the wiki and checking other sources so we get plenty of variety!
🌐 WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
You need to draw an OC (Original Character) or yourself representing your chosen aesthetic!

NO gore
NO posting your entry before the official release date
No AI
No tracing
No stealing
No copying
No running, shooting, screaming, or pushing
🌐 FAQ
💠 When will the collab be published?
There is no exact date yet; however, we estimate a release between October and December, depending on how many people participate and how quickly submissions come in.
Once we have an estimated date, I'll speak with Tom to get it added to the Newgrounds events list!
💠 When is my submission deadline?
For the same reason, there isn't a clear date yet—updates will be posted over time—but rest assured, the deadline will be one week before the publication date.
⚠️If you submit during the week the post is being edited, you likely won't appear in the collab anymore. There will be a window of at least 2–3 months, so please keep that in mind!
💠Is there a Discord server or group for updates?
No, all official collab information will be posted on my Instagram channel and via Newgrounds wall! You don't need to keep an eye on both simultaneously; the exact same announcements will be made on both platforms!
💠Can I mention interested people or invite friends to the collab?
Yes! All artists are welcome!!
💠Where will it be published?
It will officially be published on Instagram and Newgrounds. You have permission to upload your contributions—and the full canvas—to any other social media platform without issues, provided you remember that many artists are involved and you link back to the original in some way!
💠Are there any requirements to join the collab?
No!
💠Does the drawing need to be full-body?
Yes! Your drawing will be displayed fully (or almost fully) in a scene that includes a floor! A full-body shot is highly preferred, please!
💠My aesthetic features detailed settings... Can I add effects?
As long as it ISN'T JUST A SOLID SQUARE BACKGROUND, you can freely add details, lighting, accessories, and anything else to best represent your contribution!
💠Do I absolutely need to have both Instagram and Newgrounds accounts?
No!
💠Where should I submit my contribution?
ONLY via Gmail or Drive!
For you cool folks on Newgrounds, you can send it to me via Newgrounds DM without any problem! :)
💠Can I participate with more than one aesthetic?
Yes! Just make sure that if you submit more than one drawing, you handle the responsibility of doing so!
💠Can my contribution combine two or more aesthetics?
Yes!
💠What is the limit on aesthetics per person? 5 people
Subcategories or unique combinations do not count as repetitions.
That means, for example, that there can only be 5 "Frutiger Aero" entries,
but perhaps another 5 "Frutiger Metro" ones,
and maybe one "Frutiger Aero" combined with "Furry"!
So, good luck yall! :D
