The winners will be announced by awards ceremony on Sunday, November 8 at 8 PM eastern time. After the ceremony, a full list will be posted here for easy reference smile
So, it's official. I am addicted to holding art contests. I love receiving art, and I love giving out prizes! This year's art contest is going to have a bit of a twist though (and a bit of a Twistex, as always) in the way the prizes are going to be doled out.
For awarding the top prizes, I thought I would do something a little different this time. First place will be able to choose from a pool of the prize items, second place will choose next, and so on. This way, whoever wins can choose what item appeals to them most. If it's the most expensive or oldest, so be it. But if there's an item you want more and don't feel like exchanging, you can choose that one! This also means that second, third, and fourth place may end up with rarer/more expensive items than they'd get under a normal prize structure. If you have any questions or want me to clarify this, by all means, post away!
The top prizes are going to be pretty huge this time! Up for grabs are a November 2003 letter, December 2003 letter, March 2004 letter, and October 2004 letter, as well as many evolving items. Please scroll down to the Prizes post for more information.
Because of the combined value of these prizes, this contest will run slightly longer than my usual ones, starting on March 8th and end on September 12th October 24th at midnight, EST. I want to be sure to give artists enough time to work on entries as well as receive enough art to make my investment worthwhile.
FAQ--------------------
Quick and easy questions and answers!
What do I draw?! Can I draw my avatar? Can I draw a random avatar? Can I draw a monkey?
The point of this contest is to get art of my avatar. Not yours, not someone else's. Not a monkey, unless he is in the picture with me. However, I don't particularly like monkeys, so that is not a good bet for you. Scroll down on this page for a list of avatars I want drawn.
Can I make up an outfit?
Sure! I love original outfits. So long as the person in the outfit looks like my avatar! There's a base avatar in her undies provided for exactly this reason.
Does it have to be in colour?
Not at all! I love black and white art as well.
Does it have to be done on the computer?
Absolutely not! I love art done with pencils, markers, etc, and there is even a prize specifically for that.
Does it have to be anime?
Again, not at all! My favourite art styles are Art Nouveau, vintage pin-up style, and american comic book style. I also love detailed shoujo manga style and really nifty stylized chibi. Whatever you like to draw, I'd love to see!
When does this contest end?
Currently, the end date is September 12th, however it may be extended by a few weeks if I don't have enough entries.
What are the prizes
Please see the next post, they are all listed.
Will you be my friend
Hang out and chat, get to know me. I'm an ornery b*****d, odds are you don't want to be my friend.
Can I have gold/items/etc? Obviously you're rich with all these prizes!
Pretty much all of my funds are tied up in prizes for this contest. I cannot afford to donate to people.
Got a question that's not here? Please ask.
