Some of you might have noticed that it was already up on the 1st, this month is Devin and Paris shirtless xd YAY (this is totally fan service for me and all the girls out there... and well boys if your into hot guys)

Apr 1 ~ Hello everyone, I'm SO sorry I haven't been on much at all the last two days... this isn't something I like talking about, but it's something I (and my family) can't avoid. My brother had gotten himself massively in trouble with the law, and now the whole family is suffering from it... I wont be able to get on as much as I would like for at least the next two weeks to the next month... but I will be updating as much as I can, and please know I will be here to try and answer questions if you have any. I would also like to ask you all to keep my family in your thoughts and prays, because we could really use them right now. Thank you guys for being so understand.

Mar 26 ~ Do to mitigating circumstances the monthly Pokemon Character Spotlight have to be extended for 5 extra days. Sorry for the Inconvenience, but the other Character Spotlight will be starting on the 1st to keep that one on track. Against, sorry for the extension, but sadly this is due to something out of my control. The Pokemon Monthly Character Spotlight will not be ending until the 5th now. sweatdrop sorry guys.

Mar 19 ~ Hey guys, just giving a little update about prizes for monthly character spotlights… I have sadly gone from 2.5 trillion in pure down to 250 billion in pure, in only 2 and half weeks… As much as I want to keep finishing sets to give away for the monthly prizes… I just can't afford (with gaia cash or gaia gold) to keep this up anymore. What I have in items is all I can give away now. No more can be added at all sad as much as it pains me. But don't worry, the prizes I have for the next two months are really nice… in fact these are the prizes I have:

April Character Spotlight Prizes: (6 Place prizes ~~ 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th)

Most of my gold went to trying to keep up with the crazy Pokemon items (thanks GOD I'm finally done with getting them =_=) and getting the few items the next two months I missed out on in the cash shop. I only have enough gold for this contest and for my little mini thread in the event forum, >< so I'm tapped. But at least the prizes the next two months are nice one xd emo sorry I can't add anymore after this… I'm just far too low on real life money and gaia gold ><

Jan 5 ~ I want to apologize for disappearing for the last two and half months. I sadly have been in and out of the hospital and have stayed away from the computer all together though that time. I am doing so much better now and am back now. I will be adding those two months I was gone onto the art contest, so it will be ending on my birthday, June 12th instead.

Oct 25 ~ Finally a new update for you! I have FINALLY started working on the rest of the character information. I have Jada and Paris' Special Abilities, working on Alyeah's background as I type this, and should have the story info up today as well. Another big announcement is that we have a new Monthly contest to add for you guys. It's called "Character Spotlight." This is where I spot light one of my characters with one of Lizardlea13 (she's an awesome friend) characters. Each month will have a new and awesome prize up for doing art of those two spotlighted characters together, interacting with each other. She is also doing the same thing in her art contest as well. This is to help advertise both of our contest as well as get art of our characters together. All entries given in this contest for the Character Spotlight are only eligible for prizes in my contest. But you will still be able to get the entry prizes and be up for monthly prizes in this contest for entering the Character Spotlight art. I'm super excited about this new monthly contest! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
Jan 18 ~ Finally reopening my art contest. There are a ton of popular items for prizes! This is still slightly under construction. There is some more character info I need to add, and the story info, but other then that, everything else is up and ready to go.

Prequel To Guardian Heros
Island of Noah
This story is based in an alternate universe.

The story revolves around Dr. Noah Heisner. He was one of the leading mines in the field of Genetic research. He has always had great ambitions for the Genetics field of study, and was one of the few people who had been successful in gene splicing. Making all the advances he could in the Genetics field in the public eye, Dr. Noah (and he preferred be to called by his first name) set out to continue his research in privet.

He no longer wanted to work solely with animals however, so he set out to find, young, healthy, unmarried individuals between the ages of 18-25 years of age (though some of those picked where older) to add to his research. Once he found a good group of people he deemed worthy of his new experiment (around 375 people) He set out for a private, unmarked island, private scientist and assistance in toe. The people who signed up to be apart of all this had no idea what Dr. Noah has in mind, and the way he was able to get them to agree to this was to promise a huge payout at the end of the research, and like with most young adults, money trumps all. Once on the island, none of the volunteers where allowed to have any contact with the outside world for a full year. Not even to talk to family or loved ones, per the contract they signed.

There is a time skip, and finally after a year and half with no contact at all, the families and loved ones of the volunteers started contacting the authorities, concerned since it was well beyond the point of the year mark. The federal government eventually stepped in and heads up the investigation. After another 6 months of waiting, the island is located, and the government infiltrate the island. But by this time, Dr. Noah's research is finished, and had fled the island. Everything has been illegal, the contracts, the experimentations, the whole shebang.

Dr. Noah had successfully spliced human and animal genes together, and created human animal hybrids. The 375 people now where physically part animal. Since Dr. Noah had fled with his research, the scientist who where called in to help those affected by what he has done, no one was sure how to go about fixing the problem. It was all a big unknown. When they tried to track down Dr. Noah, for one to stand trial, and two to get his research notes to speed up the process of helping the victims, he was no where to be found, he has simply vanished without a trace, never to be heard from again.

With nothing to go on, more experimentation was performed on the victims, to try and reverse the affects of what has been done to them. After a few more years, the scientist had made some headway, though it has become very apparent that, nothing to be done for the victims them selves. The only thing that could be done was to "turn off" the now fused genes in the victims to where there children would not be afflicted. There descendants wouldn't have the animal attributes, and could live normal lives, even though they would still care the animal genes in them.

Sadly for those who where victimized has to remain on the island for the entirety of there lives. Trying to make their lives as normal as posable, there families and loved ones moved to the island, having a small city build there, with only those sworn to secrecy being allowed to live and work there with the families. Most of those affected did marry and have children, and once there children where grown, they where allowed to live the island and have normal lives in the outside world.

As those who where experimented on grew old and passed away, they where buried in a special cemetery build for them and there families. Slowly over time, the island because more developed. Once the last of the victims had passed on, the island became open to the public, and because a popular city to live in (think of Manhattan). None, but the families of those victims, ever knowing what had taken place on the island that mini now called home.


Guardian Heros
This story is based in an alternate universe. It takes place 80 years after to end of The Island of Noah.

Decades after Dr. Noah disappeared with the research, two individuals, an elderly man named Brethold, and an elderly woman named Ruth.

For any and all couple art, pretty much any combo will work for me. But there are going to be different kind of settings/relationships/behaviors with each other, depending on the two people you put together in the art.

Romantic:

Devin & Alyeah
Devin would be more of the dominate one in the relationship. Alyeah has always been very shy around him, even went they do start going out with one another. Devin would be loving, sweet, caring, and kind with Alyeah. Alyeah, would sweet, kind, and caring, but be a little bit more revered when it came to loving out in public, but would be more willing to show her loving side in privet. Meaning that if Devin were to take her hand and hold it in public, Alyeah would more then likely be blushing like crazy. Devin also like's to take little moments to whisper sweet nothings into Alyeah's ear while she is yet again blushing like crazy.

Jada & Paris
Jada would be the more dominate one in the relationship. Though Paris is in love with Jada completely, Jada however just like to attention and really could care less about Paris' true feelings. She uses him more of a means to an end, where she would use Paris' love for her to control him and get him to do what she wants him to do, which he always does. He would fallow her around like a little lost puppy, which ends up irritating Jada to no end. Jada is quite rude, meant and uncaring, where Paris really is more caring, and avoids hurting others when Jada allows him.

Enemies:

Devin & Paris
Devin's deep hatred for Paris stems from the simple fast that it was Paris who attacked Alyeah when she over heard him and Jada talking about betraying the Foundation and all the other Guardian's. Because of the attack Alyeah was hurt so badly she almost died, which sent Devin into a rage. Ever since then Devin has been out for Paris' blood, even though Paris hated the fact that he hurt Alyeah so badly, but had no choice since Jada made him.

Truly any couple would be find, but none other than Devin & Alyeah, and Jada & Paris would be romantic. Almost all others would be Friends, Mentors, or Enemies.


User Image

With the Groups, it's pretty much the same as with couples, pretty any group goes. When making group art please try and fallow how it is with the couple art. There is one group that is more prominent them the others though.

Fight scenes can be anything from two of the Guardians sparing together, to enemies fighting against one another. With this extra category, it needs to be dynamic, with a lot of motions and movement to it. They wouldn't be standing in place at all. One thing they wouldn't have at all are weapons of any kind, they would only be using fist and claws if they have them.

You must have no less then 2 characters in this art, and it must be a full scene, meaning a background. If there is no background then the art can not go in this category.


User Image

With the Romantic Scene is really only can be between Devin and Alyeah since they really only the true romantic couple. Please try and fallow what is says in the couple part for them. All those this section can be after they are married as well.

This must have to have a background in the art. If it doesn't it can be be in this category

And when you hit submit it will generate the number of gold you will get for entering. Please not that it will be in the million/billions, winning up to 2 billion if it's your first entry. Don't forget that the first entry will get what number they get from the number generator doubled.

Q: There is another person doing this in there contest, did you get this idea from then and if so did you get permission to use there idea?
A: Yes I did get this idea from my friend Lizardlea13 (her contest can be found here Liz 88 OC art contest) and I did ask her first before doing this myself 3nodding she told me that she didn't mind me using her idea.

Q: May I PM you if we have questions about the contest or what to submit an entry?
A: Yes you may PM me question, but please make sure you read everything first on the first page and the character info, most questions can be answered by reading everything, but if you have gone through it all and you still have questions, please feel free to PM me. You can also PM your entries to me if you want as well

Q: Have you ever hosted other art contest on here before?
A: Yes I have. I've had three others besides this one in fact. They where all extremely successful in my opinion. Here are the links to them so you can see how they went for yourself. (please do note that that they where under my old mule for most of the art contest)
Avatar the Last Airbender OC art contest
Celestial Being OC Art Contest
Heirs to the Legend OC Art Contest

Q: Are you really sure you have all of those high end items...
A: Yes I am very sure I have all of the items for this contest, but if your still skittish about it and unsure, please feel free to have a mod look into it for you to put your mind at ease.

Q: May you tell me who your favorite character(s) are so I can do art of them.
A: That's a hard question to answer since I love them all so much. So lets just say, the one with the least amount of art at the time would be my "favorite" at that moment I hope that helps you pick a character to do art of

Q: In a lot of art contest, only main characters in the story can have single art, is this the same with your art contest, or can any character have single art?
A: Any and every character in my contest can have single art, not just main characters.

Q: When doing any of the extra categories (Scene Art) does it have to be a scene from info you gave on the story or can we make up our own scene?
A: Either option is totally fine with me, it can be a scene from my info on the story or a scene you make up, just as long as it follows the rules for that category either will be fine.

Q: Why do you not want Chibi art, and do you think my art looks too chibish?
A: For me, it takes a very special kind of chibi for me to like, that and if I allow chibi art, over half of the art I get would end up being chibi (all other contest I've allowed chibis this has happened). In all truth, I'm a sucker for regular anime art and realism. I've sadly never been much of a fan for chibi art. As for your art looking too chibish or not, if you show me some of your past works, I'll be more then happy to let you know if I feel if your style would be suitable for my contest or not

Q: May I change your characters outfits they have on?
A: More then likely no, I'm not big on having them changing. The only way I will allow it is if you get permission from me before you start the art and you have to give me an idea on what your planing to do with the outfits before I'll give permission.

Q: I want to do some super smutty art of (insert name of character(s) ) may I do this.
A: A little smut is ok, but crazy over the top smut isn't really something I want to see. There really is only one relationship in the story that would have any kind of smut in it, and it's more of a sweet and romantic relationship then over the top smutty. Though the relationship between Jada and Paris would be a little bit more on the smutty side then Devin and Alyeah. But getting back to the point Oo;;; a little smut is ok, crazy amount not so much.

Q: Is there a limit to how many pieces of art we are allowed to submit or is it as many as we want.
A: There is no limit to the amount you may enter. Feel free to enter as many as you would like, but please do remember each piece of art you enter is eligible for one prize. So the more you submit the more prizes you might win. But do keep in mind that Quality over Quantity is always the way to go on any contest.

Q: Why do I have to give you an un-water marked art? I don't like giving out un-water marked art.
A: One main reason is, the art that has a huge watermark on it is un-usable to the person hosting the contest, and that's the main reason they have that rule on this forum. There should be a sticky in the forum giving you full details on this. Just remember if you would like to have a watermarked piece up on the contest page, you have to send me an un-watermarked piece through PM.

Q: Will my WIP be included to win prizes?
A: I'm sorry to say, no they wont be. Only finished pieces are eligible for prizes in the main contest as well as the monthly entry contest.

Q: Why does all art have to be scanned and colored?
A: With the scanning part, art that is scanned in verses being taken with a camera just gives it a much higher quality over all. It also tends to give the art a much darker/shadowed look to it if taken with a camera, which isn't very appealing to me sadly. And as with the colored art, I just love art to be colored. I've never really been that big on black and white art, so I really want it colored for this contest XD the prizes are pretty big, so I feel it's worth it being colored.

Q: Does the art have to be shaded?
A: No, the art doesn't have to be shaded, but it would help your chances of winning something if it was shaded. But if you really aren't a shading kind of person, flat color is totally fine to enter.

Q: I want to know if I'm going to win the grand prize or a prize in this contest.
A: I'm sorry but this question I can not and will not answer. In every contest I've had, people have asked me this more times then I'd like to admit, and it's not that much fun to be put on the spot like that. The only thing I can say on this matter is, if you would like a chance to win a prize, you should try and enter. If you don't enter then your chance of winning something is pretty much zero, but if you enter, you will at least be in the running for a prize.

Q: May I bought (insert name of item) from you.
A: I'm sorry, but none of the items I have as prizes in my contest are for sell. The only way to get them is to enter my contest and try to win them. And if it's an item I'm wearing your wanting, I'm sadly not selling those either sweatdrop . Most of the items I have as prizes or are wearing are fairly easy to find in the exchange or market though. I believe those would be the best places to look into trying to buy the item your after 3nodding
