Welcome to Gaia! ::

'Ello and welcome to Emmy's Art Contest.. Original name, eh?

Anyways, since I joined Gaia 2 years ago, I've been wanting to host an art contest. After saving since April 2005, I finally have enough gold to host the contest.

There will be atleast 350k in gold, plus I'll probably add other prizes as we go along.

There will be two different contests, one will be to draw my Original Character (OC) and the other will be to draw my avatar with atleast 1 of my Gaia friends.

A panel of my friends will help me judge the winners of this contest, and all submissions much be in by midnight on May first, 2006.

Each of the 2 contests will have their own prizes. These are the prizes so far, I have more gold and donation letters kicking around that I may add depending on how many artists submit art.

My original character has a very creative name.... Emerald... Anyways, here's some basics

Name: Emerald
Height: 5'10
Weight: 150pounds
Hair Color: Brown, sometimes with red highlights
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 21

Emerald's favorite clothes are her Blue and Red Corsetts, and she is almost always seen wearing one. She wears dark blue jeans or a black skirt with them. She also always wears black ankle high boots.

Emerald won't go anywhere without her trusty wooden staff that was made for her by her mentor. She also always has a scarlet cloak, which often covers her eyes, leaving her face is shadows, but if she trust you, she'll put the hood down.

Emerald also wears silver chains around her waist and a black choker..

Ok, popular request has made me talk more about my character.

Emerald is 21 years old and was born on October 31, 1984, her nick name is Emmy. She grew up in Brooklyn and was orphaned at age 13 when her parents died in a car accident. Emmy became lost for a few years and eventually disappeared into the underground of NYC, wandering around amoung the vampires and transvestites. At age 15, Emmy was found starving and freezing, the lady that found her became her mentor and took her in. Emmy has a natural gift of second site, and her mentor nurtured this along with teaching her healing spells. For Emerald's 18th birthday, her mentor gave her her staff, and she has never been seen far from it since. Her 18th birthday was also the day her mentor was killed right in front of her eyes. Since that day, Emerald has had visions of deaths of people all over the world, and she spends her time on the road traveling from location to location trying to save these people, but never seems to be able to. Because of this she often has fresh cuts and plenty of scars all over her body. Emmy spends her time looking for someone that can help her succeed and often seeks shettle amoung vampires. Even though she is human, the vampires have never attempted to bite her or use her as a snack, which is usual, but no one can understand why this is possible, she has also been known to drink blood if she is trying to blend in. Emmy's favorite pass times include poking people with her staff and pretending to be the dark mysterious girl loaming in the corner of a bar, but she's really just crazy and likes to have fun, but she's extremely annoying at times.
