EDIT ON SOME PRIZES

Bout time I actually decided to have one :noes: I've been toying around with the idea for a long while, but now I have a subject that would be more interesting to toy with (for myself, and for those willing to participate).

Now, the contest is open to any VISUAL medium (sorry my dear writers... I enjoy a romping good read, but I make for a terrible literary critic :tears:). All other mediums welcome of course.

Well, I'm nearing completion of my Giving comic for ~snugwork and my mother (and her entire family in Thailand... she sends them my artwork sometimes... it's kinda weird to me). To sort of celebrate this little milestone, I want to give a little of the fun back :#1:

THE CONTEST
The contest is to design a departed soul sort of being, using flourished/embellished designs like in these pieces:



Additional references on photobucket: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]
You can also google something like "Thai Art" and find some design results. The formal name is Ramayana, but that tends to yield results of an Epic Poem

So what's the Departed Soul? It's a spirit that can't pass on to the "after life" so it clings to earthly things (in the case of the comic, food that has been dropped). Seems like a lot, but trust me, it really doesn't have to be.

SOME RULES
The departed soul can look somewhat human (for those that feel they cannot draw animals too well) or animal (for those that don't want to draw people). Can be any style (doesn't have to be anime as mine is) and does not have to be colored. But do keep in mind: Quality of Quantity. Also, it does not have to be executed in the same way I have created those images above. The only thing that really has to be portrayed is a spirit creature of some kind, and some show of the ornate design patterns as linked above.

To make it a little more fair, you are allowed no more than 2 entries :)

THE JUDGING

Yes, I will be judging, but I wouldn't feel right doing it alone (really, that's just not fair) so, I will require some aid: 5 fair-minded people. They will be needed to select the top three. Then my mother, ~cl0ud57r1f3, and I will pick the placement of those three. And judges will help in persuading me as to which should get what prize placement :D Judges are discouraged from voting for themselves (seriously, if your work is good, let the other judges speak for you :aww:)

The judges that were kind enough to offer their time in this:

*Zorrino *KagomeResurrected ~RenKairui85 ~ZegoSyden *EdoFangirl
Thank you for your time :D You will need to note me on choices and I will forward the selections to each of you til we come to a choice on three :nod:

For the Judges: I would hope you come to your decision on your choices ASAP. And I would like it if by July 2nd that you can all agree on who the top three picks are.

:star:THE PRIZES:star:

Yes, because this is really the only reason why we enter contests ;P

1st place: 1 Year subscription (or a Fella plushie since it is within this price range), Giving button set ( 5 buttons, including your commission or entry made into a button), A commission piece from me (similar to one of the above thumbs)... and bragging right :lol:

2nd place: 6 month subscription, 3 Giving buttons (one can be of your entry or commission), pencil sketch commission (similar to thumbs above).

3rd place: 1 month subscription, Giving chibi commission, 1 Giving button (of your commission).

Also, once the judging is complete, I have a gift for my judges for being of help to me :aww:

THE DEADLINE

Because I know the creative process can take a while, the deadline is the last Day of June (so, 11:59 PM EST, June 30th). Judges will debate the who the top three will be, then we can pick some people that get the swag :aww: If more time is needed, please say so in advance. I’m not going to pull some last minute extension due to forgetfulness… That’s unfair to the other participants.

Note me with your entries so I can make a nice list/display of them… Please don’t link them on my front page :)

I think that covers most of the usual contest query. If there is anything I missed, please feel free to ask! Share the word, and hope you have as much fun with this as I have!

yeah, my top two were impacted (they said that usually happens) and ugh, it was just painful because mine were crowning :fear: and right before that, i had to get a root canal :shakefist:

this all happened about 2 or 3 years ago, and my jaw is still in pain from the way my teeth grew in :no: i hope yours don't cause you any further problems :)

Thats why I had to get mine removed. I pointed it out, they took an x-ray and realized all of mine were turned inwards. o.0

oh ouch! yeah, i hated getting my teeth removed, but at the same time, i'm so glad i did. mine grew in and started pushing the rest of my teeth out of line :O

it usually takes a week for the wounds to close up though :)

bah. I was supposed to have 4 wisdom teeth removed today but ended up only having 2 removed. during the second one, (under deep sedation) yanked out the anesthesia. o.0

theres slight discomfort, but the feeling came back to my mouth quickly which is promising in terms of healing ^^
