LOL. *will probably win honorable mention. xDDDDD*

edit: wait, is it free-lance drawing or of a specific subject?

Navidian:
xD That sounds like alot of characters to draw, hrm? -very anxious to see what the catagories are-

`Waffle:
I'm assuming it's going to be freelance drawing? Or could be both, depends on the catagories xD

-goes to look to see if any posts have been updated :3-

First post updated! Prettifying takes as long as reserving. *dies*

@Waffle: It'll be my characters - but however you wish to draw them.

I've got a question for you all... I was thinking of having this be a rather long-running contest - I was thinking 6 months (until July 31st or so), do you think that's too long - would it put some of you off? Or is it better that way? No pressure kind of thing? It wouldn't matter to me any because all I would have to do is check in every so often.

You're welcome. <3 Looking forward to trying my hand at Jude, given your showing him to me in the past. XD

Long running works for me. Gives time for improvement. ;D

Navidian:
xD You said it. Goodness knows how long it'll take me to set up my own art shop / art auction xD'

As to your question...i think that 6 months may be abit long and it may put some people off as they'll be wondering if the contest will ever end but...at the same time, it also leaves room for people to enter at their own leisure. Hrm...maybe make it three months? That way, it's not too long, but not too short either xD

*nods* That was my fear - that people would think they had plenty of time, etc etc. Though I've had people say they would enter if it were in the summer - so it would be favorable for people still in school.

On the other hand, I'm afraid of not getting enough entries if it's a shorter contest. Hmm... Ponderponder.

It's best for it to end in the summer. Ending between March-April is really bad since most of us have testing and exit exams at school. x.X

ya that's true, summer is very good for those in school. like i am -___-
i dunt know if i'll enter this contest, i'll wait till i see the categories and prizes :3
*still has a ton of commissions to tend to*

Navidian:
Well you can make it somewhere inbetween if you want? Although i'm not sure if that would still allow for people to enter in the Summer (the seasons are different here in Australia, Summer would be now, but your Summer would be well, our Winter).

Hrm...well it's up to you really xD I may not have time though if the contest ends later as i tend to forget about things after a while, lmao.

I understand that PK, heh. I forget about contests I wanted to enter a lot.

Ending date is now June 30th.

Prizes updated. I'll add character info and such tomorrow but if you're just itching to go - check out my request thread for character information. here

o...m...g....

o_____o

*dies at the prizes* xDD hehe! *scurries off to check out the request thread*

hehe~

Hurray! I'm glad you like them. I fiddled around with pure amounts for quite a bit today.

hehe *has her eyes on farris and irynia* >w>
characters with dreads are tight >w<

Yeah, I agree. I really love Irynia - she's evolved with me from originally being an anthro with a project my friend and I did for a while to now being involved in this storyline as a human. She's my spunky lil' girl - heh.

And Farris is based off Johnny Depp - so 'nuff said that I like him. *smirks*

Navidian:
...-dies after seeing the prizes-

I'm thinking i'll try and enter as many categories as possible xD So many of those items are the ones i'm questing for, lol.

*grins* That's what I was going for. I'll lure you with my shinies!

Navidian:
To lure, or to blind? xD Seriously, the prizes must be some of the best for any contest that i've seen o.o Or perhaps that's just me xD

Ah well, either way i'm going to get to have lots of fun with different poses ;0 <3

Whoah nice prizes Navidian! *jawdrop* I think June is a good time to end this as most students have class until the end of May or end of June, and now they'll have time to work after finals. I'll look forward to seeing all the entries and I'll have to check back after you get those character profiles up. ^__^

I wanna enter! XD Even though I can't draw for the life of me, I will try!! :3

Woohoo! I'm excited to see how each of you interprets my characters.

Jude info is up (save for the banner which I though had been uploaded this morning, but apparently not).

I already peeked at it before hand. XD I started an entry last night, intended to be natural media, but it looks wonky, so I'm gonna scan it and go over it with photoshop. D8;

Also scribbled up quick headshots of Tetra, Iris, and Farris to get a feel for them.

*bounces* Yay Crys! You've just made me so excited.

I've been wanting an excuse to draw your OCs for months, so I'll take what chances I can get. xD Basically ever since we discussed how Jude and my Ki have equally crazy hair and are both chain smokers. XD

Aww yeah, props to chain smokers ... well in pictures at least. I want to punch real-life smokers in the lungs. (no offense to any smokers, heh... just stop!)

Ooo, and Tetra is updated now too.

EDIT: I need to make a new reference of Tetra that can really embody how I picture her. The ones I have right now but it's just not quite right.
