The 10th Anniversary SDRP Art Contest
"The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp."
-Terry Pratchett
I heard there was lots of drawing going down over here in the art section, so in celebration of SDRP's 10th anniversary, I figured I'd cart out a whole bunch of expensive items and start throwing them at the people whose art I like the most! I'm pretty excited, to say the least.
Normally I'd go ahead and tell you exactly how much gold you're in the runnings for, but that would require more math than I'm prepared to do, so just scroll on down to the prizes section and check it out!
Here's the deal: I see a lot of pretty boring art. People standing around, people staring at a floating camera, people wearing funny hats... But I don't want to see any of that; I want to see people doing adventurous stuff! If you've been part of an adventure recently and you want to chronicle your adventures through the ultimate might of the pen, do it here! Muscle-bound strongmen, scantily-lad strongladies, or vice versa abound!
Let's see some sharp pens!
