Is all I can say...

I am holding an art contest!  Now I have many, many, OCs so I'll be giving lots of chances to win!  Don't forget the Raffle at the bottom for spreading the word!
Here is how it will work, I have several categories.  You can either pick a category and find one of my characters that fit, or find one of my characters you like and choose one of the categories that fit them.  You can only submit a drawing to one category, but you can submit multiple drawings to a category, or multiple drawings to different categories.   You can win prizes in multiple categories.

Looking for Color drawings, full body perferred with waist/bust accepted, but the more of the character in the drawing the higher scores you will get in Faithfulness and Detail.

My Characters can be found:
>>>> HERE <<<<
These can be used to help determine characters who would be seen together.


Categories:
Good/Light
Any character that fights for good or is attuned to the light.  
Evil/Dark
Any character of Evil, hate, or has a life of darkness.  Can be depressed, vengeful or jealous.
Sexy/Pervy
Probably will be a popular one, pretty self explanatory too.  Any character that likes to show off their body a bit, enjoys sex, has high sexual prowess.  Does not need to be nude to be in this category, and being nude doesn't automatically fit here.   Also if there isn't a nude drawing of the character in my gallery please don't draw them nude, I may make some exceptions if you want to ask first.
Strong/Serious
A character who fits any of these.  Never backs down, always ready for a fight.  Is a warrior/fighter of any kind.  Is physically strong.  Has a serious attitude.  Duty bound.
Innocent/Cute
Any character who is untainted, pure of heart, shy or immature.  Can also be those who are physically sweet, or adorable without mature, or sexual intent.
Loving/affectionate
Specifically those with tender feelings for another, be they a mother, lover, sister, best friend.

To tell if a character fits a category you should look at the character description not just their picture.  Hint: Not every character that has a nude drawing fits very well for Sexy/Pervy.
If you think a character fits a category but are not sure you can ask me.  


Judging will be done mainly by myself, and will be scored up to 50 based on 3 things.
Skill:  Level of ability of the artist.  I will rate the drawings on a 1-10 scale and add them to the ratings given by a third party who knows no one on DA for a max possible score of 20.
Faithfulness to character: How true your idea is to what my character would really do.  How creative is it?  Score 1-15
Attention to Detail:  A special score for those who add extreme detail to a character such as a unique background that is from a scene in their story.  Are they using their special weapons?  Using special moves/techniques?  Do you have two characters who know each other interacting how they should?  Lovers joined in passion's embrace, bitter rivals battling, faithful companions fighting back to back? Score 1-15

Prizes!!
Each Category will have a 1st place prize of $10 via paypal, or 800 DA Points
If 5 or more people participate in a category the prize pool upgrades to 1st place $15 prize or 1200 DA points and a 2nd place $5/400 points prize
If 10 or more participate in a category a 3rd place 200 Point prize will be added.
If 15 or more participate in a category prizes are 1st-$15 2nd-$10 3rd-$5 4th-200pts.
Also top 2 overall will get a full drawing by me.
I also have a list of hidden bonuses that range from 50Pts to 400Pts that I will reveal at the end, even if you don't win a placed prize you may get one or more of these (a few are real easy).
**These are minimum amounts, if I get extra hours more and more expect these to increase, even possibly double.

All submissions must be in by June 28th 2013.

If you think you will enter could you please comment on this journal just so I have an idea of turnout to expect?

>Bonus Raffle!
>Spread the word of my contest from a journal and be entered into a 200 point raffle.  
>Just link a New journal in a comment below.
>Get extra entries to the raffle if a submitting artist was referred by you; just make sure to put in your journal to have them notify me you referred them with their finished drawing (can be note or in description of >their deviation).  So for example if you make a journal post and 5 of your watchers submit one drawing each to the contest (and tell me you referred them) you have 6 chances to win the raffle.  If one of those 5 >submits 3 drawings you have 8 chances total.
>Raffle winner will be announced once the contest submission end date is reached.
>You don't have to be a contest entrant to enter the raffle just spread the word in a journal! (and link it in comments here)

I posted it on Tumblr but I thought I'd go ahead and put it on DA too:

Most of these I gathered on my own. Another great list is here: [link] All the shimeji on that list are also listed here.

The first list set will all take you to the original source of the shimeji, NOT the direct download. Some of the download links are in the descriptions. The second list set is of direct downloads for shimeji with uncredited sources. If you know who they belong to, please let me know. ALWAYS credit your source when posting images of the shimeji!

If you know of a shimeji not on this list please let me know! I'm always trying to keep it updated and hunt for original sources. I know there's a lot more out there that I own or have seen but can't find the original links for so any help you have would be greatly appreciated!

Shimeji I'm on the hunt for again:

Regular Cronus

Dualscar

Also, keep in mind that the shimeji listed under unknown sources are NOT listed in their respective categories. So, if you're looking for a shimeji (e.g. sollux) and it doesn't show in the categorized list, check under unknown sources.

Are you a fan of 'My Little Pony'? You must be. I'm not, and I just friggin' hate it so bad! I can't believe everybody is obsessed with this friggin' little girls show. I never watched this as a kid, and I never will. Ever. To make matters worse, it's everywhere. YouTube, deviantART, even Colors! 3D, for the Nintendo 3DS. In the internet world, I just can't escape it. I always see pictures of the characters and people's OCs. Even some of the artists I like on deviantART, they put this in my inbox, ready to be taken out. Seriously, I wish this would stop, so I can look at what the internet was a year ago. If you're with me, favourite this and comment your hate on MLP. Really, I hate it.

Put this stamp up if you do. I didn't want to see it all when I searched the query "not a mlp fan stamp" on deviantART.

Also, join this Group.


That is all.
