1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    2. Hello!
      I have read the "see more" link and am interested in the competition.

      Can you please clarify whether it is required that the submission be digital artwork? Or is traditional artwork (pen, pencil) placed into the proper template acceptable?

      Also, what is meant by effect drawing? Can this be any pose?

      Thank you so much for your time!

    3. I have the same question as msxxxamillion. I prefer to draw on paper, and I don't have a printer. I'm not sure I can enter if I cannot print the sheet.

    6. What are ideas for design?

      Is it like a pinterest board? Could You please show an example?

      Story should be selfcreated, yes?

    8. The entry rules say 'Email submission with the subject line participant’s Weibo ID or twitter ID'. Does this mean you have to have one of those to be able to participate? I don't have a Weibo nor a Twitter. :/

    10. Some Further Questions:

      1. I would also like to know if copyright is retained by the contestant?

      2. Is the contest winner determined by number of "likes" on twitter or by a judging committee?

      3. Will a sample be provided to further explain the template sections?

      I look forward to learning more regarding the contest. Thank you!

    11. I am having trouble downloading your template. It appears to be in low resolution. It states in the requirements:
      2. Participants are required to retain a 300DPI resolution for print production of BITMAP source files or vector files.​
      Is there another template you can upload?

    12. This is a sample.
