Right, so as far as the contests are concerned, my poll says most of you want me to do all three at the same time. Holy crap that's a lot of work for me in the prize department XD well, here's the contest things:

Rules
Must be your own work, absolutely NO stealing, though using stock for photomanips are allowed.

NO LINEARTS as it says above, the work must be your own.

any media can be used at all. anything at all

you MUST use your own OC, nobody elses characters, ok? 'Cept in the date one of course, you have to use my characters, as well as your own

You may enter any or all of the contests, you do not have to do all three, though you can if you want to

As many entries as you want for each category, though it would be best if you did no more than three entries, though i know most of you would only have time for one or two

Date Contest

Draw what would happen if your character and mine went out on a date, feel free to add a story too. If you want me to put a ref up for a certain character, all you have to do is ask, and i'll do it . You could even just write it as a story, if you're not really the drawing type, heck, you could even write a song or something!

Autumn/fall contest

In this contest, you've got a lot of free rein with what you do, because it is open to every sort of artist. Photogaphers, writers, and of course all you painters and pencil artists It just has to really mean autumn to you, if you know what i mean, it has to be something that represents what autumn is to you. Whether it's the beautiful colours the leaves turn to, or the bucketing rain ect. it cant just be something you've thrown together on the page without it meaning anything, because that sort of entry would definately not win.

Situation contest

This one is probably a little more complicated, but i think its better for it though, and we might see some really good pictures for it. The idea of this contest is to draw your character in a situation you have found yourself in, or you constantly find yourself in. it has to be your characer remember, and you have to explain what situation it is, whether it is being late for the bus, or losing someone you love, or just any situation. it could be something happy too, like a birthday party, or you know, just anything really. I'm really looking forward to seeing who will enter.


Prizes:
not set in stone yet, but all i would be able to give would be pictures, but if anyone wants to donate prizes, that would be awesome

Deadline: Dunno, I'll decide later. Lets say sometime in August.

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT MY CONTESTS! MENTION ME IN YOUR JOURNALS PLEASE!
