Pencil Passports

[Mick]

Hi, grab a pencil, and take a seat! We've got a bit of an issue on our hands. Well, no problems while we're out here in the middle of nowhere, but if we are eventually going to return home, that might attract some attention. And uh, we may not have brought any passports. No big deal though! We can make our own, I've done it plenty of times. But I do recommend putting in a bit of effort. Space jail is not fun!

How to participate

Rules

---

To make sure you don't get caught committing forgery, please make sure that:

• Your entry must be ACNH-inspired. Do NOT put your actual personal details online.
• Your passport consists of two pages. The first should have a photo and some relevant information.
• The second page is room to improvise: Things like stamps, a map, maybe a logo...
• You will need to make every element of your submission yourself. This means no images you found online, stickers, pre-made patterned paper, and so on!
• Entries that appear to be extremely rushed or low-effort might not be accepted.
• Your passport is signed with your TBT name. (In other words: your entry needs your TBT name on it somewhere!)

Sorry, I have to ask, does a Pencil necessarily have to be used?

Or can I just use MS Paint, as an example of a program I could use?

Oh yeah, 'pencil passports' is just a name! Doing it in paint is entirely okay. The event itself accepts both physical and digital entries, just make sure not to use any pre-made images/drawings/patterns etc.

 

[Stella-Io]

Cab I submit two separate images, one for each page (as long as both have my username somewhere) or do submissions have to be one singular image?

 

[Rio_]

Oooooooo I have an idea I'm 90% sure I don't have the artistic or time management skills to pull off, but I hope I have fun trying! ^^

Can't wait to see everyone's out-of-this-world entries~!!

 

[kiwikenobi]

Here is the passport I made! It's Fang's new passport after he moved from Zodell, my New Leaf town, to Cloudhaven, my New Horizons island. Finding Fang randomly on an island was what finally made New Horizons feel like home to me.

screaming, crying, and most importantly, posting this passport design.

[Yanrima~]

Here's my passport entry!
And I snuck in some few references on the top part. Can you recognize the stamps?

Spoiler: Bonus passport cover

I do not have the art skills as so many of you guys have, but here is my Kindergarten level art skills of colouring and drawing :3

 

[Mick]

All entries so far are looking good! They will be accepted whenever we get our accept react system set up.

I can accept this, but please still make them similar in shape/size as if they were part of the same book!

 

[ConfusedDad]

my limited art skills decided to spend 30 minutes making this. why? i dont know. maybe the fact that i have 2 different passports from countries that are on opposite sides of the world inspired me.

 

[Mokuren]

Can we actually draw something on another paper and glue stuff together? Like draw a stamp yourself, cut it out and glue it to the passport?

As long as you draw/make everything yourself, this sounds fine to me! As long as your passport stays flat. No popup cards please.
Digital art often uses layers too, so this seems like it would be fair.

EDIT: Slight edit to that line, your entry only has to be able to fold up flat for it to count as a passport. I am not here to kill creativity

 

[Freya_Druid]

Question for the mods: do letter stamps count as pre made components or would they be ok to use to create text?

There goes my popup passport! I really planned to make one haha :'(

I've added a little FAQ section to the opening post for convenience. If you are unsure whether your idea would be allowed, don't hesitate to reach out here in the thread or directly in my DMs!

I'd see those as more of an art tool than a pre-made element, so sure, go for it!

This makes me regret posting about it I'll allow it, because I would have if you'd posted it before I said anything and I do like creativity. Let's revise that rule to "entry has to be able to fold up flat."

 

[Snek]

Here's my submission! I decided to draw instead of going digital so its not the best. I used my scaly-sona character Snek for the passport.

 

[King koopa]

My terrible limited traditional art skills created this passport for one of my favorite squirrels, Marshal!
Everyone else's looks great so far, too!
