A friend suggested that summer time is a good time for me to hold a contest for my characters.

The people who have watched me for a while will know my characters are actors style, they will be the same yet different through out all my stories. So there's a real flexiblity to them.
----------------------------------------


This is a fanart contest on my original characters
because I love them and I want to see more fanart on them? Might as well motivate some of you to finish that fanart you promised me. ;D

Time: From May 2007-Feb 29th 2008


Entres: Maxium 2 pictures per person.


ENTRIES DISPLAY
All submissions will be collected and displayed on my website.



Judging I will be the judge.... so please me.
Try to be thoughtful.... pay attention to my character's originality. (or unoriginality...) and present them well. I overall will look at whether you have captured my characters or not.

Skill: 30-40% (since I know many are at different level of development)
Knowledge of my character: 60%-70%


RULES:

+ No Hentai.
+ No Yaoi... keep it to yourself, but you may amuse me with it. (I will just torture them with your pictures )
+ No Yuri... for some reason I dislike yuri more than yaoi... (must be a girl thing)
+Just keep it healthy, but violence allowed. (nothing above 14+, and no major character killing each other, chopping each other, that would make a bad impression on me, my character killing something random, ok.)



Any medium is fine, but use the medium you are good at.

Images: plz submit it to DA so it's easy for me to link

Writings: write songs for my characters, make sure it really fits them, their level of language, slang, or enthicity will all vary... plz do it better than me.

Music: Your submissions maybe used in my future animation pieces.

Craft: you will impress me with it, because I am bad at crafts. XD I may ask for shipping if I really like it. ;D




- Character dress up is fine, but don't show me copyrighted cosplay.
(like my characters dress up in Mario/Sonic suit, no no no.... though it will be funny, that defeats the contest purpose. But if you want to use your own character's clothing on my characters, that's fine.)

- My characters as furry versions or other alternative versions? Do it only moderately, please. If it's based on my furry version that's fine. If you changed it too much it's your character then... XD

- You can do as many, or as little as one character if you want. But focus on the main group.

- Please submit new fanart, don't submit something I have seen before. @_@ (that will be boring)


-* If you don't want to join the contest, but just use this oppertunity to do something nice for me~ That would be great anyway! Show me anything you've got! XD I'd love to see them.

- You may submit more than two entries, but pick the best two pieces for your contest entry.

- You may modify your entries until the deadline date when I need to judge them.
