[Scurci Wolf]

Hello and welcome to our art contest (theater). There are two hostesses here. Sarah and Katy. Sarah is taking on the role of the Phantom and Katy is a person at the party. We just have these roles to make it more fun and... interesting.

It's themed after the famous Phantom of the Opera as you can see. This art contest is to request art of our original characters and possibly get some freebie fan art and avatar art.

10/11/10 ~ I am greatly sorry for the lack of updates and activity in the thread. Katy and I have just started our freshman year of high school and we're going to two separate schools so it's difficult to find time to sit down together and judge the photos. I'll try to find time within the next month to do so. We're also short on prizes so I'm considering selling some of my items or giving them away as prizes. Again, I am greatly sorry for the delays and I'll try to announce the winners very soon. Sorry for causing any doubt or mistrust.
11/08/10 ~ The school district Katy and I are in is having a four day weekend so I'll try my best to get to her house at some point to discuss winners and prizes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
1/09/11 ~ First update of the New Year! Sorry for the delays but we have decided on the overall winner, some other winners, and an alternate to our original prizes.
1/31/12 ~ Winners announced and prizes being handed out

About The Phantom (Host)
Hello. I am Sarah / Carter (NatsumiWolfSC) and I enjoy the finer things in life. Such as sex, drugs, and rock n' roll art and music. (That too. Bwahaha.) On to the contest! After a few more informational and completely necessary (most of them) posts.

Anyways, Katy and I have some wonderful original characters we would love to have drawn. We just adore anyone who makes us some exquisite art. (And the not so exquisite.)

So, I do say: Enjoy the party!


AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM MY MORE PHANTOM-Y SIDE:

I see you have come to join our masquerade ball. We welcome you all to come and enjoy the party.

Just beware, I, the phantom, my be lurking somewhere.

I'm not usually invited to these formal affairs but this time I'm the host. Along with two of the party goers who happen to prefer me over... the rest you could say.

At this party we shall have a great contest for your artistic skills. The contest shall last for quite a while. We wish to keep this party for even longer. We're not sure of the set dates currently but we shall decide. How about until you die? Bwhahahahaha.
-With Love,
The Phantom

I suggest you follow our simple rules. I've heard the chandler is worth quite the fortune.

About the PartyGoer (Host)

Hello one and all who have happened to cast a glance at this thread of ours. I am Kathryn (wonder_blue_or_KT), but I would appreciate it if you were to call me by a name more fitting than Kathryn. I would honestly prefer Katy over KT, but call me what you wish for I will answer to all (except for Kathryn). I am personally enthralled by many things and they are quite numerous and some hard to name. Basics include:

~> Art
~> Anything sweet.
~> Movies
~> Reading
~> Writing
~> Roleplaying
~> Joking
~> Hanging out with my peers
~> and now for the etc. etc...

Now for our contest. Any entries will have you on my good side. Whether they be a waste of my time or yours, I will personally be glad and excited to check this masquerade of ours everyday to see who else has joined our fabulous contest. So please, enjoy.

Charles
(Thread(because we're just that weird))
I am Charles. The best friend of the Phantom and the crush of Katy. She does annoying the hell out of me but she's still a friend since it was her idea to have an art contest and give me a name.

She's my mother of sorts... And the Phantom my uncle? Aunt? This is confusing...

Anyways, I always love to be filled with new art for the world gaia to see. I can't wait to see who wins but of course, I have to wait just like everyone else.

Inspirations
(Give us Freebies/Things?)
This is just our little request post. Since both of us are currently broke from earning your guy's prizes and we have a few requests we'd love a few mini drawings. Any of the original characters dressed for the holiday's (Thanksgiving/Christmas at the moment) would be lovely. If you decide to do this for us please it to Sarah. NatsumiWolfSC.

Behind The Mask

The reason behind this all? We love art. We have many original characters and we're working on writing a book about them all, called Joy.

One Last Request:
We need someone to draw the cover. We have a really good idea for this but neither one of us has the skills to draw it and Sarah doesn't have a computer program or painting skills she can use to make it.
