Submission URL

You will need to submit a link to your submission unless you are entering a text submission in the Comments section. It is highly preffered that you submit your piece to the Bepotelkh.com galleries and use that link as your submission URL, but this is not required.

NOTE: Submission links are limited to Bepotelkh.com, deviantART, twitter, and Toyhou.se links. If Bepotelkh moderators do not recognize the URL you submit, your prompt will be rejected. This is to preseve the safety of our moderators and their computers.

Comments

You will need to add a rewards breakdown in the Comments section. Make sure the bonuses you claim meet the requirements outlined in the Currency Guide! Please use the Rewards Breakdown form to make things easier for moderators to process.

Rewards

  1. Select the Add Reward button to add a new row. 
  2. Select a Reward Type from the dropdown. This will usually be Currency.
  3. Select a Reward from the dropdown. This will usually be Gildes.
  4. Enter a Quantity. This should be the total amount you have earned from your bonuses. Please note that for gifts and commissions, the default reward covers the minimum requirements only; if you have done a fullbody piece instead of a bust with background or foreground elements, you will need to add the difference here.
  5. Add additional rows for any other rewards you need.

 

Characters

Once you select the Add character button the character will populate. NOTE: Please only add the character code for the main character featured in the prompt (aka the character who is receiving character rewards if applicable).  This means that there should only be one character included unless you are doing a multi-character (joint) prompt which you can read about HERE.

Character-Specific Rewards

Certain rewards are character-specific, like Work Permits. To claim these items, you will need to add them as rewards to a character! Once you have added characters, you can add rewards to them as you did in the main Rewards section. 
IMPORTANT: If submitting a storyline prompt for your character's faction (Village Stories, WIld Pact etc.) Please hit "Add Reward" to the main character and add Currency: Rank Points 1. This is how your character earns rank within their faction.
