My month break is over, so I am available again for commissions. Didn't get as much art done as I wanted, but I'm much more relaxed, and that was the point, so...success!

CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT

That's right, I'm hosting a personal contest.

In my last poll, the vote was overwhelmingly for Sonic-themed, so here we go.

The idea is to draw (or write) something that represents, exemplifies, or otherwise expresses WHY you love this fandom or a particular character from this fandom. You can draw a moment from the games or comics that was the moment that made you decide you loved it. You can draw how the fandom (or particular character) makes you feel, or how you see it in your own mind, or what it represents for you. Be creative and expressive!

RULES

:bulletred: Tracing, basing, dolls, stolen work, and screenshots will not be accepted.

:bulletred: The work must be new (dated today or after) and FOR this contest.

:bulletred: No anti-themed works (I hate such-and-such character, this contest isn't about that.)

:bulletred: Work must be linked to this journal to be submitted, I am not hunting you down nor combing through multiple venues.

:bulletred: Submissions must be in by April 2nd (April 1st at midnight Central)

Sorry guys, but my 'inner circle' (Tenor, Nikki, Jess, Goji) is not going to be eligible for this one. You can get free art out of me anytime you want as it is. If you want to participate just because you like the idea, great, I could use you for examples, but you're not in the actual running!

TIPS

This isn't about how good an artist you are, so don't be scared off if you think your art isn't good enough. It is. Good art is great, but I'm looking more for passion, effective communication with the viewer (or reader), and how well it goes with the chosen theme.

A simple portrait of your favorite character is NOT a good way to express why or how you came to like them, please put some originality and feeling into it, or it'd better have one knock-your-socks-off description.

PRIZES

1st Place Prize – One full commission from me (of whatever you want up to two characters, does not have to be Sonic related), one Sonic Plushie Collection request, and 100 DA points.

2nd Place Prize – One Sonic Plushie Collection request and 100 DA points.

3rd Place Prize – One Sonic Plushie Collection request and 75 DA points.

1st Runner-Up Prize – 50 DA points

2nd Runner-up Prize – 30 DA points

:icontenor: :iconspeechbubbleplz:     "Favorite Raffle! Favorite this journal and promote others to favorite it as well! At the end of the contest, a winner will be drawn from the list of people who have favorited the journal and the winner will recieve 100 :points:! "

Good luck! :)

well here is my try I hope it's okay, I think I blurbed and rambled a bit. I couldn't think how to put the way I felt into a picture so I wrote it :3.
