Whay is a qualifying entry ?
I'm kinda cautious with players contests around here.

Its time to get your pencils ready 
My birthday contest starts today!
The contest consists of a single art piece of one of my characters, either The American Dreamgirl or Tizane Bathory.
The Character should be interacting, about to interact, or just have interacted with another person (known NPC, bystandard, monster, etc)
Other than that, all artists have free reign in the direction they take their entry. 
Luckily, I havent filled all the available contest seats. As such, Im opening up this contest to everyone.
Everyone will have until the week of July 1st to work on a piece (should be a little over two weeks), and any qualifying entry recieved durring that week will at least recieve a $5 consolation prize (by whatever means are most convenient).
Any and all questions can be posted here, and I'll answer them the best that I can. Further, if anyone needs to see a character in person, Message me privately and we'll set up a meet and greet.
GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!
(I cant wait to see )

Well a couple suggestions here. Don't ever put a dollar amount in a thread for a piece of art. Thats just something to aggrivate the devs. Secondly you havn't said what the grand prize is so the artists don't know what they are shooting for. Always good to know what you're aiming for no?
Also what Spino said! 
"The contest consists of a single art piece of one of my characters, either The American Dreamgirl or Tizane Bathory.

that, turning a piece in during the due date peroid (first week of july), and (depending on interest) not being too late...
are the only "qualifications".
as for the grand prize...well, if the devs are fidgity about me mentioning a 5 dollar consolation prize, id rather not mention it here.
suffice as to say that, as I have nothing else of any real value to offer, this is a cash prize contest.
Depending on interest the grand prize would be in the low/middle range commission price up to middle range.
as I said there is a second and runner up prize, and, again depending on interest I may include an ancilary prize for "best lines" or "best adhereance to the theme" or some such...
Im sorry that Im so unclear... Ive never done anything like this before.

A little something to satisfy the TA-monster's hunger! I have big plans for the background, but no idea if I'll be able to pull it off.

So should you post the finished pieces in this thread as well?
I cant BELIEVE I forgot that crucial bit of info:
I'd love to see any WIP pieces here in the thread, but for the Offical entry. please send a copy of your image, as an attachment to:
aalin_kaa@hotmail.com
I dont claim rites to anything except the characters and their design(though, I hope everyone will let me post them up in my DA page )... the images are yours so feel free to post them wherever you like.
hahahaha, fuzzy. I love it so far (that little tart is SOOO getting what she deserves )... Cant wait to see it finished :-D
Just wanted to let everyone see their competition. Polterguy (Timmy-toons on DA) has a contest piece currently posted up on his da page:
"~They say that breaking up is hard to do...."
...I guess they're wrong
Good luck, everyone... looks like competition is heating up.
Finally finished the flats...now I can move onto the shading and defining the background XD Will I finish in time? Keep your fingers crossed!
