Open from July 23rd to December 31st!
Introduction:

Those of who who've been on Gaia since 2006 or later may or may not remember my name. A clan of friends and myself advertised an OC art contest all over this site (Aniala Art Contest). It was amazingly successful, if I do say so myself. In late 2006, I quit Gaia and decided to give away half of my inventory to random Gaians under the username Exsavior . I posted a picture of my inventory and told everyone they could pick one item. I'd give it to them, and then they couldn't request another item. I half regret doing it, especially when I rejoined Gaia, but I'll get over it. I can enjoy myself without excess items.

__________________________________________

I'll be getting my first tattoo before the beginning of 2009 and I'd rather put my designing trust in the people of Gaia than a tattoo artist because I know how phenomenal some of the artists that use this site are. I'd rather have them design my tattoo than have a tattoo artist do it on the spot. I don't know why.

Updates
( November 27th, 08 ) Strong apologies for those who just want this to end, but I'm again not satisfied with the lack of entries. There's a good amount, but I've held a contest with much less offered in terms of prizes and got far more entries. Please bear with me and keep entering.

( October 18th, 08 ) I've decided to extend the contest by a month. I haven't gotten nearly as many entries as I'd hoped and need to keep it going. That and I need to post more. sweatdrop Sorry I've been so busy.

( July 23rd, 08 ) Opening day.

Optional/Recommended:
+ some sort of border
+ a halo wrapped around the antlers, above the antlers, or hanging off one of the antlers
+ piercings (labret, gauges, cartilage, eyebrow, etc.)
+ facial hair (sideburns, soul patch, beard, etc.)
+ short hair preferred (spiked would be a nice thing to try out)
+ dark (brown, black, etc.) or unrealistic (blue, orange, green, etc.) colored hair preferred
+ text in the banner. It can be anything.
+ you can give him tattoos if you want.
+ X's/censor bar over the eyes and/or mouth

+ good artistic liberties reference
+ good piercing, smoke, and perspective reference
+ great artistic style, perspective, and liberties

A BIG SIDE NOTE:
You, by no means, have to literally design a tattoo. Just draw as you normally would and my tattoo artist will take the finished product and go from there. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Prizes:
Since there's only going to be one of your designs inked onto my body, the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place are going to be much more minor than they were in my last contest. It makes sense.

More items will be added to the prizes as I get more!
