Yup, that’s right! I’m holding a contest. I'm sure you're ecstatic 8D </sarcasm>

I decided the theme will be two separate choices (because I couldn't decide between them D: ), so if you don’t want to do one of the themes, you can do the other! Both themes are still ONE CONTEST.

There will be three winners and one honourable mention, so really … I will most likely “ignore” what theme you chose when I judge and voting commences. The themes are simply there for further inspiration. There might be two winners (second and third, for example) that had entries both in the first theme’s category.

The Themes:

1.) [Insert OC name] has some time off—finally! In their spare time, what are they doing? Would they be with someone? If they don’t have a clear interest, what do you think they’d be doing? Or maybe they had a dark secret that they love to do…

2.) [Insert name(s) of my OC] has/have been transferred to another realm or universe (perhaps even fandom)! They need new clothes to match their new environment and to blend in! After all, who wants to stick out? Question to consider—> Where would they be from? What would they do? What side would they be on? Would they meet some other OC of mine there? Etcetera, etcetera! Again, be creative! This has a lot of possibilities to mess with.

Rules:

1.) You must have at least one of my OC’s included in the picture. You can have as many as you want, but you obviously need one of them in the picture. You can age them (up or down) if it’s necessary for some reason.

2.) For the second theme, if another character is included that isn't mine, it MUST be from the actual series (I.E: if you put one of my OC's into the "Naruto" fandom, only canon characters can be included).

3.) As well for the second theme, the clothes of the character MUST change. That is a “must-do” of the theme. Cosplaying them as an already created character is okay, but not the best idea. All other suggestions listed are just to help the design or picture.

4.) Romance can be included (I will list who the character is coupled with or crushing on, if any), but please… All entries must be no more than PG-13 rated in this genre. Pretty much, it must comply with dA's rules.

5.) Any genre is fine! Humor, romance, horror … anything! I have a strong stomach— if you want to do rated M gore, go for it. So long as there's no nudity, paint the sky red. Or someone else… if you know what I mean ;3

6.) Under NO circumstance will I accept edited screenshots, dolls/bases, or stolen and/or edited artwork! It must be entirely your own work!

7.) For this contest, I won't accept literature by itself because it'd be hard to judge that next to drawn entries if it's the only written entry. Sorry! D: You can write something to go along with the picture (I'd love to read a back story or a little paragraph!), but it must be accompanied by an image.

8.) You can enter as many times as you want, but you can only win ONCE. So if you win both first and third place, then you will only get first and whoever was in "fourth" will receive the third-place prize. Depending on how many entries there are depends on judging.

9.) Everyone is welcome to enter this contest! I don't care if you're just passing by my DA one day or if you're a long-time watcher of mine. You DO NOT need to ask if I'll "let you enter";— just tell me you're joining is all I ask! ^^

The Contest Closes on: July 31 MOVED --> August 20

The Voting/Judging Begins on: August 1 MOVED --> August 21

And next on the agenda, the prizes! I'm sorry they aren't all too exciting D: I don't exactly have the money to offer subscriptions or anything, so I tried to make up for it with lots of pictures. Tried being your key word.

Prizes:

FIRST PLACE: A fully coloured picture, with a background, of up to 4 characters. Full-body, chibi, or half-body is up to you. You will also get a soft- or simple-shaded chibi of a character of your choice and three coloured super-SD chibis.

SECOND PLACE: A fully coloured picture, without a background (or a default one, like a gradient), of up to two characters. Full-body, chibi, or half-body is up to you. You will also get a simple-shaded chibi of a character of your choice and two coloured super-SD chibis.

THIRD PLACE: A fully coloured picture, without a background (or a default one, like a gradient), of only one character. Chibi or half-body only, flat-coloured. You will also get a coloured super-SD chibi.

HONOURABLE MENTION: A line-art of one character (chibi only) of your choice and a coloured super-SD chibi.

CONSOLATION PRIZES*: A super-SD chibi of one character of your choice.
