Rules

SPOILERX

RULES!
Oh my god. Do I really have to say this same old ringamorole that is on EVERYONE'S threads!? Seriously?

Ok. Follow Menewsha rules, don't be an asshat... OH and don't steal each other's art, my characters, their reference art... etc. etc. Just be a decent person and not an art stealing jerk and everything will be a ok.

About Copying/Tracing/Etc.
I don't know what to say. Touchy subject. To me, eyeballing is one thing. Masters have worked from models for years. However, directly tracing or copying more than a pose is not allowed.

Unless it is from your own materials. Like photos you took for you to work from etc. If it is your intellectual property/you made it I don't see why you can't just make your own references and use them. It's not like I have a way of knowing.


Requirements

SPOILERX

ALL ART MUST BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE DETAIL.
I want large copies, not tiny versions. I can't judge those as well and I don't like it for my collection.

This is NOT a thumbnail I am sad to say.

I really like it and wanted it... but it doesn't feel like I really have it, you know?

You can Submit more than once
However many times you want! I love matching sets of my characters.

I love to see progress shots
They won't be counted as entries though until they are completed and officially entered. Do not post place-holder posts. Post the form with the completed image. The order your image is received in will be determined by when I have the art in hand, not if you make a post and add it later.

Do NOT watermark your Submission.
As soon as you submit the art it is mine. You can't hold it ransom unless you win. That isn't how Art Contests work and I won't accept water marked images as entries. Signatures that go over part of the drawing are fine. But if the signature distracts from the image, or covers a lot of the image (at least important parts) that will be taken into account when judging. So that is something to be aware of.

More Details on what I am looking for...
The art can can be anything you are proud of.
The effort you put in for quality work is what matters.
Your style is what matters.
If it is sketchy, that's fine.
If it is anime. that's fine.
Semi realism? Realism?
Whatever your style is I will accept.

This includes crafts, macaroni art, sewn pieces, anything creative that resembles, represents, expresses, embodies my characters.

It also includes writing… poems? I am not sure what else… I don't want detailed stories about my characters as I am the one that plays and writes them, but if you have some sort of interesting written concept that you put some effort and thought into surprise me!

I do like having my characters in their 'iconic' outfits… but if you really want to experiment with similar styles or modified versions of their classic costume feel free to play.


What I will not accept

Art on Lined Paper <- This never looks good… ever. That I have seen anyway. If I am wrong, show me I am wrong and I will accept. That is a risk however as this is a bias I have held for many years. Unless you come in with this entry explaining why lined paper is used I will assume you didn't read the rules.

Inappropriate Topics <- Racism, Sexism… any disturbing ism. Basically something you would not want to show your mother.

Nude/Lewd art <- I actually REALLY like nude (somewhat lewd sometimes) art, but I do not feel that is not appropriate for a contest held on an avatar website.


Why I am being so open? Well, for example I have gotten art on paper doilies that are amazing. I also got a little Kat doll from someone that was adorable from a past contest where I allowed more open options on types of entries.

Comments: I only took a photo, but it should do if I never have a chance to take a proper scan. The only problem with it is that the circles are dulled out and I lost her eye color. Other than that, I hope it's a fine enough photo. ^^' I'll give you the link if I go back to my parent's and use the scanner there.

Kat is the kind of person that if you dropped your ice cream she would give you hers, although its her favorite food. She is a bit nieve and has a proclivity to get lost. When she was younger her family and friends would actually use her collar for its intended purpose to keep her from wandering off. Like all cats she is distracted by string, shiny things and loves to play. She is a model and as such gets dressed in all sorts of cute and pretty things. She can be drawn at any age; a cute toddler, kid, teen or adult. If you have a preference of are or an idea for an outfit let me know when you ask to be commissioned for her,

Character Personality
Calm and alluring.
Has a voice as sweet as she is.

Krystalla is a performer, she sings and dances delightfully. She enthralls her audience with an array of songs. Her style of dance is very elegant, and though not intended to be roudy it is alluring none the less. She travels all over the place performing to earn a living. Though she has a penchant for attracting trouble she gets through everything based on luck and nerves.

Krystalla is an alternate version of Kat that I sometimes play in games with a fantasy setting.

Character Personality
Calm and alluring
With a naturally sweet disposition


Caoimhe left the land of the fae to explore mortal realms. Animals and all manner of creatures are attracted to her for various reasons. She avoids people, or tries to, as much as possible. If she does run into mortals she gets in trouble easily because of her naivety and non-confrontational attitude. Despite being rather pacifistic she is a very powerful water elemental. The only things that are known to upset her to the point of furry is when a child is being hurt.

Clothing/Armor Sexy ensembles. She is usually depicted in her usual outfit, which is a corset with bottoms attached , thigh high boots and long long gloves.
Weapons None.
Jewelry She wears a thick black collar tht has a hoop with a heart on the bottom of it.

Character Personality
Cute and flirty
Painfully playful

Palas is a simple being. She knows she is special and 'the tastyest'. Something she boasts happily. But she is actually a very powerful good being that was forced into a chaotic form. Her memory was wiped and she was programed to be the thing a succubus is for. She is one of a kind so she is kept in a vault for the exclusive use of the demon lords. Now and then she escapes and runs wild and free. When free she loves to swim, sun bathe, tease men and make mischief.

Hair color/length/style Waves of gold, tints ranging from white to dark auburn.

Weapons None.
Jewelry Ribbons and lots of pearls.

Character Personality
Calm and alluring
With a naturally sweet disposition


Gail controls wind like it is an extension of herself. She is able to remain suspended continually without effort or having to focus on it. Gail's emotions shift like the wind, ranging from a pleasant breeze to a maelstrom; or even a calm anger like the eye of a storm. When she is not focused or is in a neutral state she is quite floaty, a dreamer.
