Yeah, I'm pretty much done with it. Just detailing for now

sweet, im excited to see it.

Here it is. Took much longer to edit on the comp to reduce shine. The type of paint I used shines a lot since it is a latex base. So all of my paintings rarely get scanned because of it. It bothers me lol. If I can find my mom's camera I'll probably upload a better pic ^_^ Although it may just be blurry from being smaller.

"Weeping Widow"

I called the painting this simple from the shape of the tree. A weeping willow, with the base of a woman. Although the tattoo itself tells a story, as does the girl sitting in a circus freak show. Unable to show her face from the sadness of her past. Thus becoming known as the Weeping Widow.

Medium: Acrylics

wow! those are both incredible entries! i love it.

now if its just you two, would you each rather get 5000 or have a winner get 10,000 and a loser get 1,000. since its basically between you two...

but if we get another contestant then we can actually call this a contest!

I would much rather have the 10k (Who wouldn't xD), but I wouldn't mind splitting it at all. Gold is gold^^

alright well lets wait to see if there is going to be more contestants.

GO ASH!!!!!! I love your pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow we have cheerleaders! i had no idea my art contest would attract cheerleaders. thats awesome! :D

Quite the intriguing challenge

thanx suona. it doesnt get much attention... but i like it a lot!

Sounds like it could be rather fun

do you draw suona? are you going to join?

my next one i think is going to be due for the winter festival so that people will participate to get gold for that event. i dont think i can earn up 10,000 gold before the halloween event. so this one is going to count towards that.

although... if i dont get more then 5 contestants this round, im not sure its worth having another round.....

A tattoo was a bit tricky for a lot of people. In my eyes at least it is more advanced to draw. Sine you have to think about the body, oh! And you had to draw it on a body this round. So many people just got scared? Personality I love drawing tattoos, but they are tricky^^

well its not a contest... its a challenge. its supposed to be harder then your average challenge. i have to start thinking up what im going to do next....

Lol, I know. I did it. But I was just saying why it may scare some people off....

Splinting is fine by me. I'm glad you liked them and that you got another entire finally!

yeah i know, but it seems there is some more interest... we shall see if i get more entries.

im glad i have 2, but im hoping for 5.

Hmm. So quick question. Do you want just the tree, or are you interested in having other components? Like animals, or other things in nature? Maybe even words? . . . Okay, so that was two questions. :]

the thing about my art contest is creative freedom. so you basically do what you think would look best.

Alright. And one more thing. How far down or up are you willing to go? Nape of neck, top of tailbone, off to the sides . . . ?

Lol, enough so you don't have to use a censor bar on a PG-13 site xD

as far as you want. its a drawing.... and its the back... not the front... so i think its ok. it can wrap around a little, but make sure there is nothing on my boobies... i just wouldnt tattoo them. because it would be some guy that im not dating tattooing me there and im uncomfortable with that idea, no matter how well i might get to know them.

I wish I had seen this contest earlier. It's very interesting.

One more thing. What time tomorrow do you need this by? 'Cause I'll be working on it during my 5 1/2 hours between classes, and it will be taken via iphone, too . . .

must be submitted by midnight on the first according to my timezone.... umm.... eastern standard time?.... UTC−05 apparently.

yeah... but thats it. this is the final extension on this challenge.

essentially 24 hours from a half hour after this post was made
