Not comfortable drawing humans? Check out the "Costume" category!
What You Can Draw (Categories)
Each piece will be submitted into one of these three categories: Please check which character you can draw for what Normal: (Any Character) -
Draw 'em as you see 'em. In character and in their universe.Couple: (KiskaxLiliya, AndryxSirius) -
Draw them together. "Couple" doesn't mean it has to be lovey/romantic, it just means they're in the same picture. Andry and Sirius are really not into the holding-hands/teenager lovey-dovey deal. Please don't draw them like that c:. Costume: (Any Character) -
Draw any of these characters in a different costume (includes gender-bending or drawing them as anthro/animals.) I especially love historical outfits but you can do just about anything (draw them in your fav series or in a different occupation or style). However, please keep them in character (For example, Kiska may wear a dress, but she won't be giggily and girly)
Example of costume entry: fav.me/d64zk6p
*Note: You can draw group pictures (ex. everyone in a costume; Kiska and Andry together; etc. Whatever strikes your fancy!
Only the pairings listed under "Couple" will be entered in the "couple" category.
Prizes:
EVERYONE who enters gets 10 points + a llama!

There are 3 categories. Each piece can only be submitted into one category. However, you can submit multiple pieces and have a chance at winning 1st place THREE times! Each category is totally separate from the others as far as judging, etc.

*Notes:
Prizes may change, but they will only INCREASE (never decrease). Same for the deadline.
"Anything" commissions are anything I am able to draw… Includes Normal Full bodies. Large groups will /not/ count as one (Except maybe SD Chibis)
My art prizes are negotiable Depends on level of character detail
Because of the large amount of prize art, it may take me a while to complete everyone's once the contest is over. Please be patient
I will notify all winners via note or on their profile comments when prizes are announced!
Rules
Please note me if you have a question. I have tried to compile all the rules mentioned here for quick reference. (Also look at the FAQ below)
Rules:
You can only get the 10 for your first entry (No double-dipping, this includes alternate accounts) The entry must have some thought and effort put into it. (I will not count a stick figure with a hat as an entry.)
No entries that use a base not created by you. Sorry :c
The feature rewards are only available once per person (not account) per calendar month.
Each category is judged totally independently, and each entry can only win one prize.
By participating, you are allowing me to use the artwork created as character references and private, personal use. (You still retain all rights and credit!)
If there is a severe lack of interest I will cancel the contest. Any entries will be compensated.
Answered Questions
Q: What is/is not allowed?
A: As long as it fits into the contest guidelines and is DA-appropriate, it's acceptable! This includes art (traditional and digital), icons, photo-manips, photography, literature, poems, artisan crafts, journal skins, etc!
However, I cannot accept entries made using a base (that was not created by you).
Q: Does it have to be coloured?
A: No, but the more effort is put in, the better your chances of winning.
Q: How many times can I win?
A: Each piece can only win one prize. You can enter as many pieces as you like, though.
Q: How do I enter?
A: Create an entry that follows the guidelines for one of the three categories. Upload it to DA and link back to this journal in the comments. Once you send me a link to it (by commenting or via note) I'll send your points!
Q: Can I submit more than one entry?
A: You may enter as many pieces as you like. Only your first will get the 10, but you can win any number of times.
Q: What if my art fits into two categories?
A: You may chose which category to enter it as. If you don't specify, I will pick which I think is best
Q: How will they be judged?
A: After the deadline, all the pieces submitted will be ordered based on factors such as: perceived effort, originality/creativity, and adherence to character.
Several friends- on and off DA- will help me judge.
