You have some feedom in deciding what to draw (but you should use the character descriptions as reference). You may decide to draw some action scene (the 'environments section gives some hint), or maybe characters just interacting with each other (I wrote a little about the relationships, such as 'X hates Y but likes Z';) or simply the character posing (a bit like my character reference pics) or portray the character in his/her normal life (the character description helps).


:bulletblue: DEADLINE:

The deadline is the end of the year (31st of December). It may be extended in order to let people have more time. That's why I'd like you to let me know if you're interested in taking part to the contest.


:bulletblue: LAST WORDS:

I want to thank =Venator-Somniorum for instpiring me to hold my own contest :D

I see the characters that can be drawn and what types of environments but.. I'm not sure exactly what the subject is.. I mean...

...erm.. how do I word this......?

What exactly is the contest about? How many of the characters should be drawn in a submission? Does it matter? What can / should they be doing? ..
Are backgrounds necessary or optional?
well, I'm giving you some kind of freedom, maybe I should have written it better in the journal (I'm going to update it).
I gave you some description of the characters, who they are and what they do in their life, then you can decide to draw them as you like. You may decide to draw some action scene (the 'environments section gives some hint), or maybe just interacting with each other (I wrote a little about the relationships, such as 'X hates Y but likes Z';) or simply the character posing (a bit like my character reference pics).

Backgrounds are optional.

You may decide to do something artistic or creative (or both), then I shall choose the 'best'.

I hope I explained myself better this time and thanks for pointing out the things that were missing in the journal! Please let me know if there are still something I forget to specify

Awwww, really good to see that you got the mood to hold your own contest, and good luck with it really!

I'm think I wanna take part from it too, I love your characters, and their design simple cool, and gives me ideas a lot. Now I have no idea yet what and how to draw, but sure I will have a bit later, so I think I join ^^

So count me in! ;3

You see dreams dissolving
Distant voices slipping away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside of me

No sex/porn/ -->yaoi<-- or anything that breaks DeviantArt rules ? O.o

Why you to note yaoi?
Did that mean yuri are allowed?

No pictures about sexy guys but pictures about sexy girls are all right? :(

I dont like the darkness, but the Darkness likes me!
oh, no, saying "yaoi" I meant the whole 'cathegory' (because I can't remember the other word ~_^). I meant no yaoi and no yuri. I'll correct the journal

uhm, I'd rather not to have sex themes at all in the pics; sexy guys are ok as long as there isn't nudity. For example, male character X posing in order to show his muscles is ok, male character X in the same pose but naked is not.

It's the first time I hold a contest, even if I read the rules of other people's contests and used them as an 'reference', it seems that I forgot many things and sometimes I did not explain myself ;-P thank you for helping me improving the rules system ^_^

BTW let me know if you're interested in taking part to the contest ;-)

The deadline could be extended if necessary, that is why I'd like to know who's going to join. It's not a problem, take your time to decide ;-)
