And it's over! I want to thank everyone who came here, whether they entered the contest, bumped the thread, or just offered words of encouragement. You guys have made leaving Gaia (FOREVER) really hard! It's good to know there are still so many amazing people on this site.

I will be helping out with two more contests (and my friend is letting me post two characters in one of them! Now I have to decide which ones...), so I won't be the thread owner, but I will be around for at least a little bit! Elena will probably help out with bumping the other contests as well!


Hello everyone! My good friend psychotictunafish and I are leaving Gaia (FOREVER), so we thought we would host one more HUMONGOUS AWESOME contest!

Please make sure you read everything, and remember to have fun!

Start Date: April 7th
WIP Due: July 5th
Finished Art Due: July 13th
Ending Ceremonies: July 17th

Announcements:

July 1st, 2012: Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to move everything I own and everything my roommate owns in less than three days. I am very tired, for the sake of my (fragile) sanity and yours, I have extended the WIP due date to July 5th. I'm sorry if this irritates anyone, but I promise this will be the last extension. The final entry due date has also been pushed back to the twelfth, so anyone who has entered a WIP will have a little more time. And I moved the ending ceremonies only two days back! That's not so bad! Thanks so much for understanding!
April 29th, 2012: Added some extra prizes for chibi entries! You can win the normal prizes with chibis, but I thought they could have their own category if you wanted to do both!

Winners


Over All

1st Place
by mystic ninja

This was pretty much everyone's favorite picture. The flowers, the hair, the blood on his mouth...pretty much everything about his picture is perfect. I will be honest, I'd half given up on this story. However, this picture really inspired me to work on it again, which was part of the entire point of adding these particular characters to the contest. So thank you, you definitely deserve first place!

Sticks and Stones


Name: Twiggy
Age: 16

Twiggy is a mage. She's one of the most powerful of her age, but she has't picked a specialty yet. She didn't know she was going to be learning magic until she was thirteen. She is taught by her uncle, much to her mother's disproval.

She's stubborn and gets annoyed easily. She doesn't like being told what to do, and often does the opposite (even if it's stupid and she knows it is). She can be a very nice person when she wants to be.

She might find Cade annoying, but it might be because she likes him a little more than friends.

References: [x] [x] [x] [x] - lineart by my friend at http://nytrinhia.deviantart.com, coloring by me


Name: Cade
Age: 17

Like Twiggy, Cade is a mage. His specialty is protection magic, focusing on barriers.

Unlike Twiggy, Cade is brave, loyal, and kind. He can be a little conceited and too sure of his abilities at times. He grew up knowing he would be a mage so he has a lot more experience with the magical community and magic in general than Twiggy has. As a result, they do a lot of spells together, for which they have to hold hands. She provides the power and he provides the control.

He's in love with Twiggy, even if he doesn't think she feels the same way.

References: [x] [x] [x] - lineart by my friend at http://nytrinhia.deviantart.com, coloring by me

Name: Erian
Age: ? Appears 17ish.

Erian is a demon who was accidentally given a physical form.

He acts bored and distant most of the time. He doesn't care about anyone but Twiggy, because she summoned him and he will do anything to protect her. He tolerates and protects Cade at Twiggy's request.

He has a demon form and a human form. He uses his human form to be in the normal world, but he prefers his demon form.

Dead Things


Name: Andy
Age: 17

Her real name is Andrea. Andy is a witch. She inherited her powers from her mother.

Andy is nice but a bit of a doormat. She tends to fold very easily and ends up doing a lot of favors for people. However, she can be very stubborn. If she absolutely does not want to do something, then she won't do it. The same goes for something she wants to do. She sometimes speaks without thinking about what she's saying.

She's dating Trent.

Clothing: Hoodies, sweaters, and loose tops with jeans. Wears muted colors and jeweled tones. She likes sneakers. Only wears a skirt when she has to. She sometimes acts as Nat's assistant, in which case she wears a white button down shirt, a black vest, and a black pencil skirt with black panythose and mary janes. (...yes it's the only specific outfit I have for her, why do you ask?)

References: [x]


Name: Trent
Age:18

Trent is a vampire hunter. He became friends with Andy when he was charged with protecting her.

He is impatient and a bit reckless. He dives in without thinking and he's quick to judge. He's a skilled hunter, and he is very loyal. He's nice when he wants to be.

His favorite weapon is an enchanted sword.

He is dating Andy.

Clothing: Layered tee-shirts and jeans. Wears a lot of blacks and greys. When he's hunting he wears a black body armor top, shoulder guards, leather arm guards, boots, and various weapons on his person.

References: [x]

Name: Nathaniel
Age:? Looks to be in his late teens/early twenties

Nathaniel is a vampire. Andy calls him "Nat".

No one knows how old he is. He could have been recently turned or turned thosuands of years ago. He's not telling anyone. No one knows how long he did the vampire thing, but now he works as a consultant for the local group of vampire hunters, especially since activity has been picking up among the nonhuman residents of his area.

He is very quiet and reserved. He barely gives out information on himself. It's hard to make him mad, or show any emotion other than thinly veiled contempt for the human race in general. However, when he cares, he cares deeply. And when he gets mad, people tend to die.

He loves Andy and has some respect for Trent. Some.

Clothing: Wears nice shirts, tee-shirts, and designer jeans. Wears slacks when he wants to impress. He has a leather jacket he wears for show.

The Great Adventures of Bel and Heln (And Sometimes Rhyss)


Name: Bel
Age: 17
Species: Elf

Bel is a magical prodigy and has spent most of his life studying, but he doesn't let it get him down. He's very happy and easily exciteable. He can see the good side of everything.

He attends the city's academy, where he is learning about creating magical talismans to help his brother, even though he could study anything. He is at least competent in most types of magic, including healing, but is strongest in runic magic. Attack magic is his weak point unless he is able to direct it through something.

He's a full elf, so he looks fairly androgynous and is pretty short.

References: [x] [x]

Name: Heln
Age: 16
Species: Half elf

Heln is Bel's younger brother, but since he is half human he looks older and not quite as androgynous. He's also taller. Being a half-elf, he can't use magic on his own, but he can use magical talismans. His main talent is being able to sense magic.

Heln is more serious than his brother. He is cynical and sarcastic. He seems like he barely tolerates his Bel, but he really cares about him and would do anything for him.

Because of his ability to use powerful talismans and his ability to sense magic he was accepted into the elven academy where his brother attends school, where he has trained to be able to sense magic or not sense magic at his own will for most of his life. Being able to sense when something magical is going on has saved his life and his friend's life more than once.

He eventually dates Rhyss.

References: [x] [x]

Name: Rhyss
Age: 16
Species: Elf

Rhyss attends the same magical academy that Bel and Heln do. Her mother is the headmistress.

She's strong willed and very stubborn. She's also very determined to be a part of the guard like her mother used to be. Her specialty is attack magic and she's not shabby at healing. She's terrible at runic magic. She's tough and doesn't really care about other people's opinions.

Being a full elf like Bel she's also fairly androgynous.

She eventually dates Heln.

It says "sometimes Rhyss" but only because she usually shows up a few pages later into each adventure to save Bel and Heln from what she sees as their own incompetence and stupidity (really there is a possibility they would be okay without her but they're always glad to have her along for the ride).

Sorcerers and Clerics


Name: Noah
Age: 15
Noah is a Cleric. His specialty is holy magic

Noah's family is very important in the community. His mom is head priestess of the temple. Traditionally holy magic is stronger within females. However, Noah is the exception.

Noah is typically shy and quiet around people he doesn't know well. Noah met Gemma when he was being picked on by bullies, and she beat them up. They have been best friends ever since. After meeting Ian, he felt compelled to help him and became close friends because of it.

References: [x] [x]

Name: Margo
Age: 15
Margo is a Cleric. Her specialty is healing.

She is Noah's twin sister. While Noah is shy and quiet, Margo is the complete opposite. She sometimes gets involved with his friends when they go off on adventures mostly because of curiosity and experience.

Margo's uniform is very similar to Noah's.

References: [x]

Name: Gemma
Age: 15

Gemma has a tendency to speak her mind, even if it isn’t very nice. She loves drinking tea and traveling. She considers Noah her best friend and does like Ian. Since Gemma doesn't know any magic, she will often ask Ian to help her out with jobs that involve leaving the city because of his skills as a sorcerer.

She has a good sense of direction and can hold her own in a fight. Her weapon of choice is her walking stick that she uses as a cudgel.

References: [x] [x]

Name: Ian
Age: 16
Ian is a Sorcerer. His specialty is magic. Ian has a talent for learning and a habit of manipulating spells for his own purposes. Later he is considered a genius for it.

Ian isn't like most sorcerer's his age. Instead of going to the academy and learning about magic the proper way, he traveled with his master since he was a kid. His master saw potential in him and decided to teach him everything he knew about magic.

He (literally) runs into Gemma and Noah after getting himself into a tough situation. He begged them to help him out, and develops friendship for the first time because of it. Ian also considers Noah his best friend and develops a crush on Gemma. Ian has a hard time staying in one spot for long, and often agrees to help out his friends on odd jobs.

FAQ


- What does WIP mean?
o It stands for Work In Progress. This can be a sketch or just a rough. As long as the picture isn't finished, then you are fine.

- Why do I have to submit a WIP?
o It's an art theft deterrent and as the contest draws closer to the finish, I might allow people who submitted WIPs to have more time.

- Would you consider extending the deadline?
o If I'm asked then I sure would! But I'm not too worried about that until closer to the deadline!

- What media can I use?
o Any media, but keep in mind this is an art contest, including doll making and sculpture. No writing entries will be accepted. Sorry writers!

- Can I enter more than once?
o Yes you can! Just don't enter the same category twice!

- Do chibis count as a different category?
o They sure do!

-How many people makes a group?
o Two or more!

-Can I change their clothing?
o I would prefer that you didn't, but it is up to the artist as long as their outfits are kept in mind when designing clothing. For Sticks and Stones, Twiggy and Cade's ceremonial outfits cannot be changed. For The Great Adventures of Bel and Heln (and Sometimes Rhyss) and Sorcerers and Clerics they should not be wearing modern day clothing.

- Can I be an affiliate?
o Sure thing! Just send me a note or post in the thread!
