In our own time, the Goddesses Song, Dance, and Feast come to Menewsha during this time of year to play an active role in helping us celebrate the ancient Merkheti holiday, Celes Paradi. According to Jeryck and the legend of Celes Paradi: before ascending to deities, the Goddesses were mere wealthy mortals trying to win the favor of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. the Goddesses became so embroiled in their contest, they took their quarrels with them into their afterlives.
The Merkheti people love and respect the Goddesses, and love throwing in with their chosen Goddess when Celes Paradi rolls around. Everyone supports the Goddesses in their own way: some will cook extravagant feasts; some will do group choreography; others prepare plays, operas, and musicals.
Our band of heroes have chosen to support their favorite Goddesses in their own way: Through the power of AWESOME ART!
This contest will run from the start of the event and end when the event ends. Late entries will not be accepted.
Please, only one account per person! No mules! Approved charity mules are allowed to participate.
You can enter each category once. The kids may have picked their favorite Goddess, but that doesn't mean you have to!
All kinds of art media are accepted, as long as the work is your own. Make a goddess out of clay, carve 'em out of wood...Knock yourself out!
Art theft is a punishable offense, so please don't steal someone else's art. We'll know. To prevent people from stealing your art, be sure to include a signature somewhere in your picture/drawing indicating that it is indeed yours.
Don't flame/bash/make fun of other people's art! Everyone does their own thing, and it's not a good feeling when someone makes fun of the art you've put hard work into.
PLEASE keep your art PG to PG-13. Menewsha is a PG-13 site and posting NSFW art is a serious offense, which will not be tolerated.
GET CREATIVE! You don't have to draw just your subject. What are they doing? Where are they going? who are they?
Wow, I did not expect Ancient Merkhet to be so...beautiful! To see the way the people dress, talk to each other...It's really astounding what you can learn of the ancient past when you're actually there to experience it! I think my favorite thing about being here is seeing how music and song fill the lives of people who've devoted themselves to Song. I think I want to show my dedication to her this Celes-bration and make her some art to impress both her and her devotees. There's something ironic about that.
Anyway, I'd like you to please draw me a picture of the Goddess Song, because she's as beautiful as her voice is melodious! Even in these ancient times, decent pictures showing what Song looked like are scarce. Scouring through our archives, I managed to find some references to what Song looks like, given to us by Song herself!
So, now that you know what's at stake, how about you submit me some art? A reminder: please use Imgur to host your image, and don't forget a signature!

Finally finished Song! I'm hoping to have Feast entered as well, but we'll see if I have enough time!
First I'm going to see if I have time to make some decent entries for the Avatar Contest <3
When we went back in time to Dino-Times, there wasn't any food available for us to eat. This was probably because there weren't any people to make us food. Luckily, we've decided to visit an actual civilization this time, so maybe we'll be able to taste some ancient Merkheti delicacies! (Mostly fish. And desserts.)
Walking through the streets of Merkhet, there were so many tantalizing food smells permeating the air. I'm led to believe that this is because of that Celes Paradi celebration that you Menewshans are all on about. A lot of these Merkheti people have been talking about a "Lady Feast" who represents the amazing foods and celebrations that people have. I think I want you guys to help me give her some art!
I was too lazy to look up art references for Lady Feast, so I forced Xeox to get them for me.
I'd be happy to bribe you with some prizes to get you to draw for me. My favorite piece of art, and the one that I think will impress the Merkheti Feast Devotees the most, will win:
Now that your appetite for prizes has been whetted, submit me some art! Remember to host your art on Imgur, and don't forget a signature!

Since this is the Goddess of the Feast, I feel like she must like to eat too right?

Wheee!!!!! *twirls around* I never thought I'd be able to come see ancient Merkhet with my own two eyes! Grandpa Jeryck always told me lots of things about it, but he never had any solid information since the Merkheti people stopped existing before anyone could learn anything 'bout them. When we celebrate Celes Paradi back in the present, I always like to do the traditional dances that we thought the Merkheti people did. Now that we're actually in ancient Merkhet, I can put my dancing skills to the test with the locals and show them how good I am at their dances! But first, I wanna give them a peace offering to show I mean well through the power of art! I just love dancing so much, I can't help but support Lady Dance.
I remember when she came to Menewsha that one time! I managed to snap some pictures of her:
*wiggles* now that I've shown you what I've got, why not make me something? Remember to host your art on Imgur...Don't forget to sign your name! Signatures are important. I've almost got mine right. *nods*

The Center Of The Universe: Yumeh wants...himself?
So, I can talk now...not sure why, but hey! Magic time travel is magic time travel.
Ancient Merkhet is such a cool place. Everyone here really likes cats. Especially me. I think it's because I look exactly like one of their Gods...and that got me thinking: who needs the Goddesses? The only deity I need...is me. So, I want you to draw a sweet picture of your favorite mascot/deity, me, Yumeh!
Do you really need art references for me? I'm a cute black cat with a lil' crown.
To show my satisfaction for you lowly mortals drawing pictures of me, I'm willing to give my favorite piece some of this sweet loot:
Now, what are you waiting for? Make me some art! Host your art on Imgur and write your name where I can see it! I wanna know who's responsible for capturing my impressive visage.
