That's right! Thanks to everyone's help, it's happening!
READ THE WHOLE JOURNAL.
What to draw:
Andrew and I's anniversary is coming up! So as a gift to him, I'm going to compile a collage of YOUR artwork! So your job is to draw Andrew and I together!
Feral references:
Anthro references:
As you see on the anthro reference, they have set clothes. If you would like to draw them in something different, such as cosplay or formal, please ask me directly for the clothing!
So basically you'll just be drawing them as lovers!
Here are some environment IDEAS:
-A park
-School
-Couch/bed
-Forest
You do not have to draw a background, but it'll earn you extra points!
How I will be scoring:
Creativity>Effort>Accuracy>Skill
Yep, the most creative entry that also shows much effort will be the winner! But accuracy is extremely crucial as well. Make sure the personalities fit!
So don't go "well I suck at drawing" because skill is only used in the case of a tie.
Extra points:
You can earn extra points on your entry by doing the following:
-Adding a DETAILED background
-Including the babs
-Drawing them in a situation that requires different clothes than normal (i.e. a dance, a pool, etc.)
-Anything else that I decide is worthy of bonus points!
The rules:
-Keep it PG-13! NSFW material will be disqualified without question. Minor sexual themes and minimal nudity allowed, but no explicit sexual material or anything showing genitalia. We're minors for God's sake!
-No blood/gore. These are suppose to be sweet, loving pieces. So in other words, no Bonny and Clyde cosplay.
EXCEPTION: There can be MINIMAL blood IF it is a cosplay from a video game such as LoZ, Elder Scrolls, etc.
If it's more than I deem minimal, you'll be given a warning to edit out the gore, or it will be declined.
-Must be in before deadline (listed below) THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS.
-You must draw them as their actual species (cats). No hoomans.
-YOU MUST COMMENT TELLING ME YOU ARE GOING TO ENTER. This helps me keep track of everything. Not enough entrants = no contest. Potential or serious.
(optional) Write a journal or poll about the contest, I need all the signal boost I can get!
(optional) Give a watch to see updates!
The deadline:
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2014Absolutely no extensions, this ends 3 days from our anniversary! I need time to compile everything! Judging will take place after the 25th.
The prizes:
What's a contest without prizes? There will be 3 places, and 3 honorable mentions. So here we go. (Prizes will be added as donors come forward)
First Place -600

Oh totally. But with one catch; I will deny any kind of reward if I get any placing. No seriously, I'm not joking. I'm doing this for you, I don't need any kind of points or nothin. This is also to give other people the spotlight. So, in short, do not give me any placing. I'll start your picture right away, I already have an idea.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Look man, it's not my fault if your entry is wonderful!
If you place, you deserve it!
Accept the prize in that instance, because I worked hard to
get this out together! <3
