A Fantasy of Fire: Tala’s Terrific OC Art Contest

Greetings and Hello! My name is Tala and I’d like to take a moment to welcome you to my OC art contest~

EDIT: EVERYONE WHO ENTERS WILL GET A PRIZE! Awesome right? The prizes will be small prizes. Probably only a couple thousand gold. Still, this is something I'd like to do for everyone who enters as a "Thank You" for entering.

The reason for this contest:
I’ve recently fallen in love with two characters in a role play that I’m in. I’ve done many drawings of them myself, but I’ve always loved to see what other people can do. So here is your chance to show me what you’ve got. Bring your art skills here. Any kind will be fine from chibi to anime to realistic to simple doodle. Any and all art is welcome!

The contest will end on OCTOBER 1st

What I'm looking for:
Art of my OC's to put it plainly. I'd like couple art or even single art of the characters. If you have the time, a scene would be nice of you to draw out. It can be funny, romantic, or sad. Anything will do. If you have questions, let me know!

-You CAN enter more than once
-You CAN win more than once

As of right now I'm concerned that there aren't enough entries in the contest. I'm thinking of extending the original end date of the contest until there are more submissions. It's still a month away from the deadline, so we'll see.

Also, for those who have entered the contest so far, thank you so much for all of your hard work. For each submission you've sent in, I will send you 5k at the end of the contest. Thank you again. All of you are amazing!

At the two week mark. Yay! To everyone out there who has entered so far, THANK YOU! I'd also like to apologize. I'm going to be extending the end date of this contest until there are more entries. For everyone out there, that means, more than likely, there will be more prizes added! Yay!

The new end date for this contest will be....NOVEMBER 13!!!!!!!!! YAY! I would like to get at least 20 entries in before the contest ends so that there are more entries for each category. Thank you again for your entries and your patience! heart heart heart

New developments going up. Take a look at pose suggestions and be on the look out for further character descriptions of Raethi and Gran.

8/26
BIG UPDATE! Three new characters added! Further character descriptions for Raethi and Gran have been put in as well as a COLOR PALLET! There are also new suggestions for scenes. Soon to come>>>>NEW PRIZES and CONCEPT ART OF ELEMENTAL FORM RAETHI!!!!!!

Due to some personal family matters, this contest has slipped my mind. Not to worry though. With things on the up and up I plan on coming back with a vengeance and prizes! I'm also thinking of further extending the end date for the contest so that it ends closer to Christmas. What do you guys think?

10/31
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This month has been one hell of a trial for me everyone. Aside from family matters going from bad to worse, I haven't seem to have had enough time to get the word out for this contest. We need more entrants! More entrants means more goods for everyone. I hope you will put the word out.

In further news, I've extended the contest indefinitely or at least until there are 20-30 entrants to divide the prizes up amongst.

The Contest Prizes have also changed, including the contest categories. Scene and Emotion categories have been combined. I find that emotions often come from scenes and scenes often have emotion. You might have also noticed the ??? in the prizes for Raethi and Gran. These are things that will be worth between 50 and 100k and will be determined at a later date once I go through my inventory further. It is quite possible that these could be old monthly letters that I've kept stored away.

Thank you for your patience. Please keep spreading the word!

Guess what? There is new concept art out for Raethi in elemental form. Keep in mind that this form is different than her regular, fire elemental form. In this form, Raethi has consumed a portion of Gran's power VIA a necklace he made to protect her. As a result, this elemental form shows Raethi with wooden skin and the ability to control earth as well as fire. This form is particular to her using the power of another, so keep that in mind.

Also, I'm thinking that this contest might just leak over into next year. So that leaves time for you guys to make suggestions as to what I could do for prizes. What categories would you like to see? Is there anything in the cash shop right now that you find is very interesting or lovely? Just a thought. Many EI's and Rapid EI's have come and gone. I like knowing what everyone likes so that I can better see about procuring sed items. Or perhaps I should just go for straight gold? What do you think?

11/30

New news! I'm currently drawing out a comic strip of Raethi and Gran. I'm hoping to upload it soon in it's rough form.

Also, several edits have been made to the Character's section, further describing the characters as well as adding several new characters. Meet Gretta and Mariead, two very different souls in the world.

There has also been a space allotted for special terms and definitions just below the background story section. If there are any questions please feel free to ask.

Just one last thing, who here would like to be a part of a mini contest for the month of December based around this larger contest? Let me know please so I can see how many would be willing to enter before I finalize it.
