Ever stalked a person?
Want to see them every day?
Can't get enough of them, but are scared of getting caught spying?

Chii has the solution!

Every day from 1st December to 1st January she sells a person for an affordable price.

Bid to your heart's content and maybe at the end of the day you are able to say: "I own Gnarf. And I'm allowed to stalk."

This is no bidding on real persons but on drawn chibis xD

So if you feel the urge:

Hi and welcome to my thread!

As you might have noticed, I'm holding an art contest heart
I'm 23 years old, working and joined Gaia beginning 2007.
This is my very first art contest.
Seeing all the other enormous, expensive and well structured contests, I'm quite intimidated by them.
I will try to update and make this thread better and better while gaining experience with this kind of contest.

I hope, you still like my small contest and enjoy it to the fullest. heart

Alright, this is my about page xD

Honestly I'm not sure what to write here, but I will tell you a little bit about my preferences and wishes in drawings.

Please, under no circumstances think that I would critize or degrade your art style or artwork. I have no idea, why you would think so, but this post just intends to show you what I wish for, hope for and love in a drawing heart

Characters:

Each of my avatars is very simple, I think. Demons are evil, arrogant, maybe sexy and proud of themselves. The ninja types are sneaky, cool and mostly mysterious. The normal ones fit a theme and can be drawn cuddly, sexy or elegant.

Emotions:

This is something I really love in a character. I love my avatars to be cuddly, evil, elegant or arrogant. The more energy the better. Normal poses are fine, but there's nothing more beautiful than movement in art. You feel like one of the characters is practically jumping? Draw them like that. The evil one is almost spitting fire at you - Who hinders you to let it do that? Thinking of a fun scene when looking at a character? Draw it like that <3

Backgrounds:

I love backgrounds. The more details the better. Nothing shows creativity more than BGs. An asian looking girl looks much more asian with sakura flowers, old temples, etc. I love everything cliche, as long as it isn't too romantic or too flashy. Flowers are fine, but a lot of hearts are for example a no-go.

Accessories:

I love every one of my avatars. But sometimes Gaia doesn't have items that fit it. So if you feel like adding a small accessory as a detail, like socks, armlets or whatever - please go ahead. The general image is what counts - not the exact amount of items. But make it fitting - A demon would not look good with flowers in its hair, would it?

This is just a little guideline for people, who want to have more information ^_^;
