Hi!

I know it's close to July, which means that a lot of people are probably going to be doing Art Fight (and the TBT art contest just recently closed, so this might be poor timing >///<) but I wanted to do this because my island hopping luck is either cursed or insane, depending on how you look at it (spoiler, I'm giving away Raymond or Judy to the top winners ^o^)

I'm including quite a few options because I've already commissioned like 70% of the artists on this forum LOL, everyone can enter but I would like it to be a new piece, not something I previously commissioned >///<

UPDATE: The deadline has now been extended to August 7th.

Additionally, if you have entered and not received your prize, please let me know!
The deadline is July 31, 2020 at 11:59pm EDT.
Please finalize your entry by this date, I will take your most recent one into consideration when judging. 😄
I'll try to get results out approx. 1 week after the ending date!
If I extend the deadline, it'll be announce no less than one week before the end date ^^;;


Option 1: My Island Representative, Mikaiah
  • Not many notes to include here, other than the fact that she has brown/pink ombre hair. You can find her refs on toyhouse, here: https://toyhou.se/6897067.mikaiah
  • You can pick whichever outfit you'd like, the green dress is more spring/summer themed so that one would fit super well with some sakura-themed stuff, and the pink coat is more of a fall/wintery option so you can draw autumn-y or winter-y things!

Option 2: My Steampunk D&D Alchemist Artificer, Leila Esteillot
  • She wears mostly a brown & navy blue outfit. Couple options here, you can either draw her researching (ie. looking into potions, etc.) or in combat (she primarily uses magic or daggers to fight) Refs here: https://toyhou.se/6928382.leila-esteillot
  • She doesn't like to use guns, but she does know how to aim rather well, so you can do that too if you'd like.
  • Her race is high elf, her skin is super pale (almost white, little color) and make sure to include the elf ears c:

Option 3: My fantasy D&D Circle of the Spores Druid, Arienne Sethmer
  • She wears a reddish brown cloak and a witchy hat with mushrooms on it. If you want to draw her in combat, she uses spores/mushrooms/plants to enhance her natural armor, and her preferred weapon is a quarterstaff, though she also like to cast magics.
  • Her race is wood elf, so include lots of nature-y elements and make sure to draw elf ears :D
  • rough ref: glasses are optional, and cloak is floor length. and don't forget the elf ears like I did LOL

Option 4: My OC, Malencia Zhang
  • rough sketch : uniform is navy blue & gold, black combat boots & white stockings.
  • Her hair is pretty variable, it's black, but she does cut it around halfway through the story, and she tends to tie it up for combat, though most days (ie. at school) she wears it half-up half-down, so you can draw whatever hairstyle you want tbh
  • I can provide some inspo refs for the clothes if you'd like. It's mostly blazer-style. c:

Option 5: Me with my boyfriend >o<
  • DM me for a pic if you're interested in this option and don't share please >///<
  • clothes and things would be up to you :p
I don't currently have full pieces/refs for Options 3 and 4, though i have a couple rough sketches/designs to help you along. :3
I can also get some pics to describe certain parts if you're interested.

Please let me know, either via this thread or through PM if you plan on participating. You can submit your piece either through DM or through this thread as well. 😃


To make the prizes desirable, I've decided to include a mix of rlc (paid through PayPal or Ko-Fi in USD) and AC:NH items. I'd include some TBT, but I don't have a lot, unfortunately D:
you'll probably get the most if you take the paypal option, I'll do what I can to minimize fees this way!
if you don't own ACNH or Nintendo Switch Online and happen to win, I might be able to accommodate you and increase the USD prize or throw in some TBT. Please don't lie to me about this.

First Place
  • Raymond or Judy! (or an amiibo villager, see below.)
    • FWIW, my raymond is not 100% original. He has a black mug on his desk, but everything else about his house should be original. I haven't given him any clothes or anything else, just the one black mug, as far as I can remember!
  • $30 USD (paid through paypal, I can do ko-fi as well but it'd only be $24).
  • 5 stacks of whatever materials you'd like (gold nuggets in stacks of 10, others just ask \o/) ← these can be 5 stacks of different materials, or 5 stacks of the same materials, whatever you'd like!
  • up to 15 items I can order or craft for you, or DIYs from my shop
Second Place
  • Raymond or Judy (whoever first prize doesn't choose!) or an amiibo villager, see below.
  • $25 USD, paid through paypal or ko-fi.
  • 3 stacks of whatever materials you'd like (gold nuggets in stacks of 10, others just ask).
  • up to 10 items I can order or craft for you, or DIYs from my shop
Third Place
  • any amiibo villager I'm offering below! (I will offer Raymond/Judy if they aren't taken yet by this point)
  • $15 USD, paid through paypal (I can do ko-fi as well, but it'd only be $9)
  • 1 stack of whatever material you'd like (gold nugget x10, or just ask for others).
  • up to 5 items I can order or craft for you, or DIYs from my shop
Honorable Mentions 2-3ish mentions, maybe 4!
  • up to 5 items I can order or craft for you (to the best of my ability)
  • ko-fi/paypal tip! Depending how much I have left in my budget after (I get paid this week so there should be quite a bit xD) you should receive the equivalent of about 2-3 kofis (about $6-9)
  • 1 stack of whatever crafting material you'd like (gold nuggets x10, just ask for others).
Participation
  • tasty cake collectible (these are all dated in may 2020, though I might have to buy more depending on participant numbers LOL)
Prize Notes:
  • everyone gets a tasty cake collectible when they submit something! :>
  • for villager delivery, I'll go off of your schedule! Let me know via PM, or through discord (I check this most often) when you have someone moving out, and I will deliver the villager as time allows! << these will be amiibo kick-outs, I've cycled many amiibos without issue, so everything should be fine!
  • for crafted items, I'll do my best with the materials that I have, but if I'm missing stuff like seasonal materials, there might not be much I could do, sorry! D:
  • for orderable items, I'll cut you off at around 1mil IGB worth of items, to make sure I have enough for everyone (tl;dr: dont order 20 grand pianos please).
  • for most things, if I don't have it, then that's unfortunately the way it is >_< Feel free to ask for most things though, haha

Good Luck to everyone! \o/

You know what, I'll join! I could use the practice... can't wait to draw your amazing characters 🥰 I'll DM you my drawing when I'm done (is that ok?? I can edit this post too lol)
I would prefer if you guys posted in a new post since it'll notify me, but editing would be ok if you prefer!
DMing is fine too c:
 
smol bump,

if i were to increase the rlc prize pool, would you guys prefer for me to increase the top prizes slightly and add some more honorable mentions (with a smaller rlc amount) or increase the top prizes by a lot and add a slightly smaller amount to the honorable mentions? >///<
 
My entry! I drew Leila Esteillot, she was so fun to draw! (she is my favorite steampunk gal by FAR) enjoy 💖
Here's my entry! I went all out with the mushrooms, haha, I changed Arienne's outfit a bit (more like a lot haha) I hope that's okay 😭😭😭

The file size is too large so I had to screenshot it...but here's a link to it on my tumblr for a better version

Thanks so much for your entries guys! I sent the participation cakes to both of you!
Loving all the entries so far <3 *squeal*
