..::: Welcome :::..

Hello for the last time Menewsha. I will be leaving this site for good very soon. I was once a very avid and passionate member of this forum community but must now part ways with it. In short life is beggining to be more hectic and busy with each passing moment. Nothing horrible mind you, just a lot in a short amount of time... always.

I would like to share a few of the reasons behind me leaving. I start a new full time job the fourteenth of June, I start school again at UW-Rock in September, and I also have a girlfriend. These three things together take up twenty six hours of a twenty four hour day. I'll explain in depth later but that is the simple synopsis.

Onto the thread-relevant things! I'm using all of my items on this contest so please take care into each entry. All contestants must follow this one rule when submitting their entry to me. The one rule is that I would like all forms PRIVATE MESSAGED to me. Please DO NOT post your entries in the thread. I don't want anyone's work swayed by the work of another user. I will show everyone's finished products at the day of the deadline.

..::: Photos To Draw :::..

Picture 1::

Deadline for all entries for Picture 1::: July 10th

I'd like either realism or a less "bubbly" anime style. Feel free to do what you want with the graffiti. If its any consolation her name is Maddie and mine is Josiah. I'd like to get in about what you see of us a little less or a little more is fine but keep in mind that the amount of us that is seen is crucial. Big pluses when I choose winners will be how much of thw two of us you see, colors used, scenery, detail, detail, detail and detail.




Picture 2::

Deadline for all entries for Picture 2::: July 28th

I'd like either realism or a less "bubbly" anime style for this one as well. I will be judging this one with a keener eye simply because it is of myself and my significant other. I'm looking for slight creativity however I want you to stick to basically what you see of us. Overall it should be a variation of the photo rather than an entirely new concept. Again I will be looking for detail and overall feel of the photo. Make it feel as "warm" or as "loving" as possible. Our anniversary is on the 28th and that is why that is the deadline for the entries.



Things you may want to note:



She has Brown Eyes

I have Darker Eyes that fade from a green on the outside to blue on the inside

I have brown-ish hair

She has a mid brown hair color with blonde highlighting

Feel free to fix the break in my hair where it shows my forehead

Her Hair is in a Ponytail with a small "bump" in the front on the top. She always wears it like that. I would like it drawn like that, however a normal ponytail will suffice, she RARELY wears her hair down

Her necklace is a plain black heart, do with it as you please. Keep it the way it is or do something else with it, both are acceptable

Note that I am wearing a Hemp, Square knot Necklace made with large hemp
(I will take a photo of it if the entrants would like)

People May Now Post

You'll be missed Azzy. *huggles* Now I regret not spending more time in your thread. I'll try and find time to do you a realist piece, for free and not part of the contest. Be Patient with me though realism takes much longer then silly little anime things.

Maybe I'll pull out my pastels....hmm.....dunno yet.

I appreciate it Cora and take all the time you need. Pleas know that I won't withold you from recieving some sort of payment for your art.

Real life sometimes gets the best of us, it was really nice talking to you while you were active... you were definitely one of the nicest and most encouraging Menewshan's I have ever talked to on this site. I hope everything goes well for you in the future and I wish you the best.

I most likely will not be entering as I don't do colored art but I hope you get a lot of nice entries :3

It's okay if you decide not to do a piece. I appreciate your words Mixy, and am glad you thought so fondly of me. I will miss our talks. Especially those containing a sweet beard.

Hahaha, it really was a sweet beard eh. And the Rocky Chapter while you were training that was fun as well :3

Aw, this is really sad Az.
I've seen so many people asking where you went and how you were doing.
You will be missed.

I hope you get lots of pretty art.
Sadly I can't draw. Make it realism and I'm even farther gone. ;p


I hope college is going good for you.

Azzie....it shall be a gift. Because I wish to and nothing more. Because despite our disagreements in the past you where still always kind.

I'm glad to know I will be missed thank you LillyBear. I start college this September. I will explian it all in post one when Im on an actual computer tonight. I'm typing on my iPhone at the moment as per to usual.

@Cora: I really really do appreciate it.

I keep forgetting it is summer break. Well then good luck with school when it starts... and all the horrors of signing up.
Ok, I'll be sure to read it.
I've never understood how people can type on those iPhones and cells. I can barely text chat speak on them. lol

Why are you leaving azazel?
Okay I dont know you as well but its still sad that
you are leaving our world here.

Aza ... What the heck your leaving?

Azazel! Hi! Long time no see but apparently I won't see you again for ever. D: That's very sad. I think I'll try your contest though... And I'll send you a drawing of your face just because

;_; This saddens me, Azazel. *hugs* I hate to see you leave and I treasure our friendship dearly.
I'm going to miss the white text talks. There wouldn't be any way I could bribe you to stay, is there? I'm sure there isn't...

I will miss you a lot, Azazel.

I've decided to bot the bullet and type on my iPhone again, such a grueling task. There are multiple reasons causing me to leave but to save time I'll simply name a few of the more important. I am going to college in September and I'm hastily preparing for it. I also have an extremely active social life and seem to never be on a computer anymore. I'm always walking down state street in Madison, at a party, driving somewhere, chilling with friends, basically life is constant non-stop spontaneity. I never know what I'm going to do but always end up doing something. On top of that I have my SATs June fifth and I start a new full time job June 7th. I just don't have time for a forum anymore and I don't see time in the future. That's a quick explanation via iPhone. Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors. I'm not going to proofread since I'm on my phone.

@iirain: I will appreciate it.


Note to ARTISTS::::Please send me a message saying you plan on submitting an entry so I can get an idea on how many artists, if any, will be participating so far.

Life comes first Az.
We understand.
Good luck on the SAT and have fun with life. ^^

What Lilith said. I worried that you were leaving primarily for stress/drama and the such. Do keep in touch, Azazel. And I do plan on drawing for you but not for anything other than the fact you have been awesome to me.

When will your contest end?

I'll definately be entering I'd just love to know how long I have to prepare art.
