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)

Asking for additional advertisement in a journal is a bit too much, you've already receive this in description of the deviation which will see 100-200 people depending of the popularity of the artist that enters
Also, do you have any photographs of you and your boyfriend?

I'm not changing the rules though, just because you think its a little much. It gets the word out sooner, and spreads faster if people post journals. Some people might post entries last minute, and link the contest, but it wouldn't matter because the people now seeing that won't be able to enter. So, yeah. I'm not changing it.

Theres actual photos of us in the reference folder, covered up by a picture, but it says that. But not together in the pictures? We don't take selfies so.

UszatyArbuz In reply to dirklings [2015-12-03 09:12:24 +0000 UTC]

I'm not saying you should change rules because I want to join but it was just my opinion on that If I ever like to join I would post it eventually anyway so

I was asking because I haven't seen any in the reference link and if I ever like to join I would like to draw realistic portraits from a photo I want to be better in traditional sketches and every opportunity to exercise is good

Oh no! Damn it, that's okay! I have the sketch of my entry done, though, and you'd said on your christmas list that you wanted art from me, so I'm going to finish the entry anyway as a gift. Is that okay?
