This has been canceled due to my mental health. People have offered to help me manage it, but that still doesn't help it sit at the back of my mind and stress me out, when i have plenty to worry about. If you are one of the 13 people listed at the bottom of this journal, and you have started on your entry, NOTE ME. you have a 48 hour notice from this journal update to note me so we can discuss something. but ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE STARTED YOUR ENTRY. PLEASE BE HONEST. I will leave the contest information up for a small amount of time. I will be removing it from ALL groups as soon as I update this journal.  Thank you for understanding.

END DATE: APRIL 4th, 2016 at 11:59pm.
(no, there's no significance to the date.)
I will extend if you ask.
I recently reached 10,000 points!! 
It's been my goal for a while to hold a huge contest, and now I've reached my point goal, so I finally can!
For those of you who don't believe me on the whole point thing, HERE: prntscr.com/986l9u (if the screenshot deletes itself, I'll be happy to retake it at any point in time!!)
If you're willing to donate some prizes (points or art) , feel free to note me!


Characters you can draw:
Option 1: 
There aren't characters, but it's me and my boyfriend, and I always love getting art of us!! 
YOU NEED TO DRAW BOTH OF US TOGETHER. YOU CANNOT JUST DRAW ONE OF US.
You can grab our refs here! (these words are a link click them :y )  ! 


Option 2:
I have plenty of fangems you can draw!
Here's my spreadsheet , (it has all of my gems on there as of currently, most having refs or something to click on.)
And here's my Toyhou.se , which has more detailed references, like personality and such, and a collection of all of their art!! (all of the gems are in that folder!! Don't go exploring my folders, because you can't draw anyone else on my toyhou.se. Only my gems.) 
Please!! If you have any questions!! Do not be afraid to ask!! I will not bite your head off for not knowing about my characters.

RULES:
1.) You MUST make a journal or Poll advertising this contest! (10,000 points is a huge amount to give out.) Comment with this link!!
2.) This journal or Poll must stay up until the end of the contest. If you delete it, your entry will be counted as void.
3.) You may make as many entries as you'd like!! Just know only one can win!
4.) You may ask for up to a week long extension if you please! Don't be afraid!
5.) Be nice to other people entering the contest! If I see or hear about any bullying to other people entering, you will be disqualified, and any entries will be counted as void. 
6.) If you owe me any art, you may not enter that owed art, or enter until the owed art is completed
7.) Any art you have previously made for me or my characters (commissions/gifts) does not count as an entry.
8.) No NSFW!! I'm a minor!!
9.) Any kind of art is accepted!! Traditional, Digital, Pixel, you name it! 
Information on the main prizes;
The first three places will be based on skill and effort! (Do not let this discourage you!!) 
These will be voted on by all of the judges (we'll probably be talking about it over skype) and we'll all come to a group consensus on who wins the first three!
There will be no bias, since it's 5 people all voting together!
If you want, we can find somehow to convert the prizes into money. I'll be happy to send you the points through the commission widget, or if the widget doesn't work for you, there's usually people willing to trade points for actual currency, and we can go find one for you! 
First Place Prize;
1. ) 7,000 points from me!
2. ) 5 free adopts/customs from me! (can be traded in for art if you choose!)
3. ) 2 references like: gay lava child  
or
1 full body commission like: .  (shading, hand drawn background) 
or 
2 full body commissions like: candy corn child  (the difference between this and the ref is the hand drawn background and you get to pick a pose for this one!)
4. ) 10 pixel dudes!
Second Place prize;
1. ) 2,000 points from me!
2. ) Three free adopts/customs from me! (can be traded in for art if you choose!)
3. ) 1 reference like: gay lava child   
or
One full body commission like: candy corn child
4. ) 5 pixel dudes!
Third Place prize;
1. ) 500 points from me!
2. ) one free adopt/custom from me! (can be traded in for art if you choose!) 
3. ) 1 Waist up commission like: candy corn child  (i don't have any waist up examples so it'll be something like that, just waist up.) 
4. ) 3 pixel dudes!
Runner ups! 
Info: 
There will be 5 of you! 
These aren't judged on skill like the rest. These are pieces that the judges liked the most!
Each runner up will be picked by one of the judges. (There might be bias, but i'll try to make sure that it isn't super biased! If it's a friend picking another friends entry, i'll make sure there's a reason why they're picking them. )
Prizes:
100 points from me!
1 pixel dude!
1 free adopt from me! (can be traded for 5 more pixel dudes)

Okay I made the journal!
koala-adoptables.deviantart.co…

Sorry it took so long. I've been very busy lately.
I have a few questions, these questions will help me draw the pics (WARNING some of the questions may be weird).

1. Which one of you, (out of your boyfriend and you) are the sexual jokester type?
2. Which of you two would be more willing to wear a sexy dress?
3. (Question for both of you to decide) What season do you guys perfer out of summer, winter, and autumn?

Thanks!

I added you!!
but i?? kind of thought i should state my discomfort with ?? the entire "sexy dress" thing or the sexy theme in general because we're? both minors and I'm asexual?? (even tho i make a lot of dick jokes lmao) 
i added a no nsfw rule because i forgot it i'm?? sorry omg 

but i can answer the last one and say it's probably autumn

Koala-adoptables In reply to dirklings [2015-12-03 23:25:18 +0000 UTC]

About the dress thing,...   sorry

I feel SOOO bad about this. I think I was stereotyping. Judging from other homosexuals I know, I assumed one of you would like dresses. I feel ashamed of myself.

dirklings In reply to Koala-adoptables [2015-12-04 01:01:58 +0000 UTC]

no omg?? It's just the sexy dress thing 
if it was just a dress it'd be fine, he loves dresses omg 
just don't sexualize him :y

So sorry if the questions gave you any discomfort. I realize I hit a nerve there.  sry
Please accept my dearest apologies.
What I meant by sexual jokester was like you make silly jokes about inappropriate stuff. Or who flirts the most. 

 But thank you for answering them anyway.
Also thanks for adding me!

Count me in! I'm on mobile right now, but as soon as I'm able to get on my laptop, I'll post the journal! Also, you have soooo many fangems! Is it hard to keep track of them? Does designing them get a little difficult after a while? I only have 3 Gems so far, and I've had to redraw their draft design sooo many times due to a repetitive clothing/idea style.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dirklings In reply to SydInTheAsylum [2015-12-03 08:48:41 +0000 UTC]

It's not super hard to keep track of them all, since I have that spreadsheet, but there's times I will forget I have gems until I go on it. Designing for them isn't really hard either since I'm?? usually pretty good with designs?? I made pretty much all but about 600 points for this contest designing characters. Plus I've bought some of my designs! (I think 10 of my gems designs were bought.) Just because I have a bunch of gems doesn't mean I don't edit their designs!! I've edited my watermelon tourmaline maybe 5? 6? times? And Galaxite used to wear shorts! So I do edit them!  (also, some of my gems don't have patted down colored designs, and thats why there isn't a ref for them??) 
If anything is hard for me, its to actually write down their character bios?? I have trouble sitting down and writing for my gems even though i have pretty much everyones stories in my head.

SydInTheAsylum In reply to dirklings [2015-12-04 01:45:37 +0000 UTC]

Bios are definitely difficult. I always have the best, coolest comic ideas and story ideas in my head but when it comes down to it, I just can't get it done. I've redesigned 2 out of my 3 gems. Their original concept is definitely different than their current. I see soooo many cute gem adopts! It really inspires me. I've been thinking about making some adopts lately. But all your gems are really good and really well designed! I love all of them, so I look forward to giving you my entry! Also; I uploaded the journal! sydintheasylum.deviantart.com/…

also, it best to put the reference link to the journal so we can have a clear vision of what-kind of character we're drawing.
