Shine & Sketch is a community event to celebrate the shiny hunting community and our creativity. This event encourages Shiny Hunters to embark on a hunt during the month of September and then make art depicting or celebrating the Shiny(s) they encountered and journeys had during the month. 

All skill levels and forms of art are acceptable and encouraged! The more the better!

Also with each artist's permission I think it'd be cool to show off the art as well in a community showcase offering a platform for artists in our community to share their work. 

You can hunt in any mainline game (sorry Go Players I might do a Shine & Sketch with you in mind in the future). It isn't required but I encourage everyone to use this event to go for a hunt that intimidates you or take the leap to full odds if you haven't yet before, something that excites your passion!

Requirements:

• Only Mainline Games are included so no GO
• Pokemon submitted must be encountered during the time frame of the event.
• Pokemon must be submitted with proof of encounter: photo, screen-capture, stream clip (preferably with proof of date/summary screen)
• Pokemon must be submitted with some form of artwork relevant to the Pokemon or the journey it took to get the encounter either through the proof function, Bluesky, or Discord
• Artwork must be created during the time frame of the event.
• Artwork must be Safe For Work, if you wouldn't show it to your grandmother don't share it here. Please keep it appropriate for all ages.
• Artwork can be any form of art be it 2d, 3d, video, song, surprise me, I want to be surprised.
• Must include in the capture notes or clarify with a mod of the event that you do or do not consent to having your art shared and if you do a way to credit you for the creation such as a bluesky or twitch.
• Usage of AI is completely prohibited.
