You are free to enter as many times as you like. More entries = increased chances of winning
(i.e. instead of drawing one piece, you can do two pieces which would be judged individually).
The art must be drawn by yourself. Please no copy, tracing or stealing of other artists' artwork.
Anyone caught with proof doing so will be automatically disqualified.
All entries should be posted into the thread. Entries will not be accepted through PM/VM.
note!!! entries will be judged by myself (will pick top 5) and my friends will help me to narrow it down
to top 3. pieces will be judged by quality & content (i.e. how it captures the characters descriptions).
... watermarks
no artist should have to work hard and get their work stolen ....
watermarking your entry is your choice! i would prefer it be watermark free for judging. ive been in the
community for a while and i think my rep can speak for itself! if you feel more comfortable doing so, please
feel free to add a watermark. just make sure the piece will still be of quality to judge :,D
winners will kindly pm the completed piece without watermarks, please! prizes will be
sent our shortly after that. :,D
d e t a i l s !
End date: June 26, 2015 @ 11:59PM EST.
Please note, the winner will not be announced on the end date. I will aim to have results posted on June 28, 2015.
End date may be extended for any reason!
any style of art is welcomed. ++ i am a huge fan of chibi-styled art + watercolours. i am especially fond of pastel, light, softer-looking art/colours.
judging: i will be judging pieces and picking my top 5 and then will get some help from friends to pick the 3 winners. this is so i don't pick pieces solely off of my preferences and hopefully, it'll make it fairer (if that makes sense).
please, don't be afraid to ask for clarifications. post any questions you have here!
i think that's it. will add anything new if needed!! i hope this leaves enough time for you amazing artists to work your magic n__n !
what's a contest, without fabulous prizes!? one winner for each place.
i may increase the winnings as needed. a never decrease !
First place: 3500 TBT
Second place: 2300 TBT
Third place: 1300 TBT
random raffle
for all participants in the contest (exception: winners), your name will be put

{ PEONY !: my original character }
inspired by the liz lisa style. peony is in her early 20's. she is shy & timid and takes a while to warm up to. she loves anything floral and spends her time reading books and trying out new teas to drink.

{ GRACELIA !: the mayor with a whimsical view on life in her town! }
this mayor has a cheerful, happy personality. she is easy-going and does what she feels without questioning her decisions. she loves to eat and cherishes all of her villager friends! she especially loves the lazy ones, since they are so alike.
