Follow TOS

Must include ONE of my OCs and as many of yours as you want

DO NOT SUBMIT STOLEN ART! If you do, you will be reported

JUDGES ARE NOT ABLE TO JOIN THE CONTEST! HOWEVER Prize givers (so long as they arent a judge) can participate!

If you need an extension (which I hope isnt the case cause its a long deadline but we all have things that come up) note me
immediately. The sooner, the better.

If no extension is given, you MUST meet the deadline. There will be a 5 minute window that I will allow after midnight hits.

You must state the name of my OC and who it belongs to in the artists comments.

You may make as many characters as you want in the picture, whether it be mine or yours.

You can change the character's clothing to out of their norm so long as it is themed (i.e. festivals, cultural, rock concert, etc).

- sorry i kind of forgot to add this before

Other rules may be added as necessary. You WILL be notified though.

Good luck!
Judges!








The judging shall be based on originality, accuracy (clothing style, personality, etc), difficulty and overall how well liked the picture is by each judge.

ILU ALL!! YOU ALL ARE SUCH WONDERFUL FRIENDS!!! THANKS FOR THE PRIZES, ART, AND JUDGING!! YOU ARE SO GREAT!FAQWhat styles/mediums are accepted?Any and all styles. I really am an art appreciation and love to see all different kinds.
Can I change the characters clothes?Yes so long as you stay within their style. If you are unsure of what the clothes might wear, ask me. ^^
Can I draw more than one picture?YES! Draw as many as you like~ I love art of my characters |D
Am I able to put more than ONE of your characters in a picture?YES!! But.. you MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE of your OCs in the picture. That is the point of this contest.
What about photography? Are we allowed to cosplay them and submit that? 
Yes. I will say though.. that I am picky and that is iffy. You have to put in your artist's comments a link to your OC - text, pictures, something - and also I will be looking for accuracy with height and tatts and skin color and hair style and whatnot. So - its difficult but if you can do it, I hope to see it~
Is there any guesstimates over when winners will be announced? :]
It's gonna be a bit ^^'
prtyy pleeeeeese XD???
