Although admiteddly we went on a loooong slumber period... But..but ..but
WE ARE BACK!! And we have a very IMPORTANT DECISION TO ANNOUNCE
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD CLASSES ASSIGNED ( EXCLUDING MAIN CHARS) ALL THE CLASSES ARE DUE ON AUG 31ST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realise this is a shocker... so if those of you with classes who were not at all on the AA forums had no idea, tell me and i will tell Arielle. I am sure deadlines might be extended (for the FINAL TIME ) for the Class Assignments
ETA: Ok Ybanners, it's come to our attention that the current deadlines will not be sufficient for most people as there is schoolwork and such. So Snow thought up a good idea to see how far along you guys are in terms of getting stuff turned in by a deadline. just answer the following questions honestly:
Were you assigned classes?
If so, which ones?
How far along are you on them?
Are you doing the main chars?
How far you along there?
Are you planning on entering the cover contest?
How far along are you on that?
Do you plan to draw for the teachers' contest?
How far along are you on that?
Would you be comfortable with a deadline around the end of august/ beginning of september?
Are you just waiting for the candids?
ANSWER BACK
ASAP.
Cos this will help us decide when the next deadlines will be. I will pass on the results of the survey to Arielle, who can then decide the appropriate deadline.

Some of you are all ready involved, and want to get inspired or you may not be involved but don't exactly know what to do.
Well, all you have to is go to the yearbook for Harry's Fifth Year and see what we did for that one. By doing that, you may get some ideas of something you can do or you may just realize something that can be in the yearbook that you didn't realize. So, all you have to do is go to:
There seems to be a bit of confusion over the portraits. So Arielle has asked me to clarify it a bit:
Portraits have to be like HEADSHOTS... meaning they cannot cover an area beyond your mid chest area or stomach.
Portraits can have interactions yes, but not so much so that it looks like a two person picture... like you have to have some part of the other person in their own portrait or something.
*snowflakie06 has been kind enough to repost the clothing requirements , so please take a note of these. :
Head and shoulders only, background will be crests so please leave backgrounds blank. Colour or black and white.
Uniforms: solid coloured v-neck jumpers (colours listed below) with white collared shirt undrerneath, tie diagonal stripes of alternating house colours(v-neck covers lower portion). Girls-Plaid skirts in their house colour, knee high socks (patterned like their tie), high heeled Mary-Janes. Boys-Black slacks, dress shoes. Reminder: Gryffindor- scarlet/gold, Ravenclaw navy blue/bronze, Hufflepuff-yellow/black, Slytherin green/silver
Mary- Jane's won't matter for this, as their feet shouldn't be in the picture. But just so you know, they are those patent leather shoes little girls often wear, but with heels to make them more "grown-up."
"Plaid"- tartan, like on Scottish kilts. Just modify the colours so they each house has a unique tartan based on their house colours.
Here's some examples: [link]
The jumpers will be:
The only jumper colour will be gray with bands of house colours. Look at Nona's art to see the new jumper. [link]
As for medium, "colour/shade/black and white in.. like paint/watercolours/computer graphics/good ol' fashioned pencil" ARTIST'S CHOICE!
If you have any questions send a note or email me or arielle or arwen Updated by =trishna87 on October 15
