General Rules:
- Self-Pitying. Don't do it! Don't go "Wah, my art sucks! /wrists" I don't take pity on that. Its okay if you are nervous, I know all artists look at their art and go "omg suck" but please don't try to drag attention to yourself in a negative way.

- Flaming/Trolling. Don't be a stupid a**. I don't condone this behavior to myself or anybody in this thread. So help me if I catch you.

-Stealing Art. Even if you have a death wish, do not do steal my art or characters (or anybody else's art they submit.) They are copyright to moi, and I will literally eat your heart out with a legal spork.

-Follow Gaia's ToS. Duhuuuur.

-Begging. Do it and you're automatically blacklisted from the contest. Sorry, but I worked hard to get these things, so if you want them, do the contest or go work hard yourself. :3

-Free Art? Sorry, don't ask me for free art or art trades. I don't have the time now with all the commissions I'm doing for real $$, and all that blah blah.



Competition Rules:

All entries must be recieved by midnight, april 25. WIP may be submitted also, and are due before the 29th of April. Prizes will be awarded the 30th.

- Tracing, vague photomanips, or copying are not liked and not considered entries. Keep this in mind before submitting one, because if its found to be a trace or copy (This does not include using a real photo as a reference for a pose) it will be disqualified.

-Enter as much as you want. There is no entry limit, and you may win multiple categories if you're that awesome.

-Keep it PG-13. No hardcore sexual stuff. Blood and some gore is fine, but nothing too extreme on the gore part. XD

-Date and rules are set. I may change the date if I do not have enough entries. This is a lot of stooof, and its my goodbye! You know you wanna enter. =[

-I reserve the right to add or change my contest rules as I see fit. This also includes the date.

[Omiekins]

So you want to enter my contest? Of course you do! <3333 Below you will find the characters I wish to be drawn. The art and designs are alllllll mine, and some (like Endymia and Dual) are precious to me. Most just have sketchy concept art if they are newer characters of mine, but I will add to their galleries as I work on new things, so check back. Feel free to experiment with them, but make sure they're still recognizable!

Character Descriptions and Relationships:

Dual and Endymia - (Not from Ghost Fable.)

Dual befriended Endymia when she was trapped in her human, earthbound form. They fell in love, and Endymia gave her life to save him at one point, thus freeing her of her human form, revealing her to be the spirit of fortune. However, she continued to stay by her lover's side forever, always.


Omie -

Personality: Kind, silly but wise, persevering, naive, optimistic, accepting.

Weapons/abilities: She uses no actual weapons, instead she can manipulate her Darkness into various shapes and form, which she then uses as weapons. She also has a poltergeist ability, which is similar to having control of gravity. When she is possessed by Nikolai, she can summon his Eclipse Bow, and use it as a weapon. When possessed by Anima, her Darkness takes on a glowing reddish-purple hue, and her poltergeist abilities are at their peak.

Main character of Ghost Fable. She is a medium who can see spirits, ghosts, and other things the normal person cannot. Once touching them, their spirit and her life mix, and they become visible and "solid" to herself and others for a period of time. Because of this ability, the mixed spirits lingering in her life merge into Anima, who possesses her and turns her vicious and destructive.

During the story, she bonds very closely with Nikolai, who often possesses her to look out for her and protect her. Against her better judgement, she falls in love with him, but because he is dead, she cannot quite be with him, but her love still grows for him. She also becomes quite close with Lilian.


Dirge-

Personality: Honest, Sarcastic, easily annoyed, gruff, but still cares.

Weapons/abilities: Dirge is a lycanthrope, aka, werewolf. While he spends most of his time in his human form, he can still summon his beast form into his hands, which he will use as weapons. When he does turn from his human form, he becomes a full, six-tailed wolf beast that looks quite godly. (Haven't drawn ref for this, feel free to use artistic freedom!)

Dirge befriended Omie and Haveni quite a long time before the story began. He assisted them in whatever they did after befriending them, usually being the muscle of the operation, or the meat-shield. While he is fond of them, they can drive him up the wall sometimes, especially Leaf, although he is quite fond of Leaf in the way an older brother would be of a little sister.


Leaf-

Personality: Goofy, loopy, often hyper, speaks in riddles frequently.

Weapons/abilities: No weapons, but she has an inhuman "Green thumb", able to give life to almost any dead plant she comes across, and things grow much faster and healthier around her. Naturally, she supplies Haveni with medicinal herbs and such for her spells.

Not much is known about Leaf. One day she showed up, without family or friends, nobody in the area knew of her either. The others took her in and cared for her, and eventually she became a part of their group. She doesn't usually go with them during the epic portions and does not usually fight.

Lilian-

Personality: Kind, Clutzy, Straight to the point, Sometimes spaces out.

Weapons/Abilities: Often carries many swords, daggers, and such on her. She is often possessed by Seiren, who uses his ability as a swordsman to act through her, which changes her personality from the normal to a more brazen, gruff one.

Lilian was a maid who lost her job from being too clutzy, and then went to work in another manor owned by a strange collector. She became possessed by Seiren when men broke into the manor, murdering the owner, and when they came after her she fled into the storage room, and defended herself with the only thing she could, which happened to be the cursed blade which held Seiren's soul in it, the Soul Eater. Since she used it, the curse fell upon her as well, and it would drive her near insanity if she did not satisify its lust for blood. She often likes to wear skimpy clothes, but when Seiren or another male says something about it or makes a move on her, she gets pissy with them. She and Omie become close friends after their initial battle, often going back and forth between adversaries and best friends.


Seiren-

Personality: Rash, hit now ask questions later type.

Weapons/Abilities: Has a habit of keeping his enemies' weapons after their defeat, so he has a plethora of swords and knives, and has a compulsive need to collect more. Uses his abilities through possessing Lilian.

He is a self-taught, masterless swordsman, who used Soul Eater, and it eventually killed him in the end, trapping his soul inside of it. Has the hots for lilian when they are not integrated, and often irritates her with flirting.


Nikolai-

Personality: Kind yet sarcastic, thoughtful but sometimes irrational, courageous, stubborn.

Weapons/Abilities: Often uses a bow made of light and darkness, called the Eclipse Bow. He is very swift and precise and agile, with a dead-locked aim. He has a mixed ability of Darkness and Light, similar to Omie's. He uses his abilities through Omie.

Centuries ago, Nikolai's family owned the Lockewood Manor. In life, he was always distant and stubborn. He refused to wed any girl his parents found for him, wanting always one he would feel in his heart he wanted to protect. He ran from his home around 18 and disappeared into the kingdom's military, which he became a revered archer in for several years. He was reckless and courageous, as if he were seeking death yet avoided it almost unnaturally, until it finally caught up with him at 22 years, when the group of soldiers he was with were ambushed, and he fought until he was the last alive, to where he was shot down by the enemy's archers. His spirit, being so unsatisfied by life, lingered on, returning to the manor he once called home, where he waited and waited quietly, until he met Omie. Then he became her guardian and his spirit grew in strength, and eventually he began to love her, but none of this could change the fact he was no longer alive..


Haveni-

Personality: Cheerful, optimistic, occasionally silly, occasionally serious. Major Cry-baby.

Weapons/Abilities: She is the white witch of the group, who usually does exorcisms and healings. She carries a special deck of tarot cards which have a skill per card. She specializes in protective and healing spells, though knows some attack spells.

Haveni became friends with Dirge and Omie long ago, and has since always helped them. She is a succubus, but a very good one at that, practicing white magic instead of sexual enslavement. She hates walking, thus she floats wherever she is. When she gets pissed off enough, she turns into her "Darker" side, and spouts off her inner bitchyness through that. She does not like the idea of hurting or especially being hurt herself, and is quite a cry baby if she is..
