Introduction

Hello there,
I am hosting my very own art contest. I will be giving away 1,000,000 gold all together to the top nine winners. Each winner will receive a fraction of the 1,000,000, not every winner gets 1,000,000 gold. That would be way too much to give away. =P

I will be holding this contest from October 31st - January 1st. Anyone who enters has a chance to win the prizes!

There will also be a bump contest going on, so that I can keep this board going.

About me

Hello, to start off, my Gaia name is Ulemi. I'd much rather be referred to as that name. However, I do have a real name. It's Elaine. >__< My age shouldn't be important to any of you, nor does my age madder. I've been playing Gaia since 04, but I've been skipping around on accounts ever since then. So, this one is fairly new.
I am rich, and I can be quite nice. If you get on my bad side, I'll most likely just ignore you, or block you so that you will eventually just leave me alone.
I mainly just come on Gaia to get artwork, talk to friends and to meet new people. I have a life outside the computer, so don't expect me to be online 24/7.
It's rare for me to donate to people unless they are my close friends, so please don't even try.
I don't have much to say about myself, because I don't want everyone in the Gaia world who looks at this forum to know me personally. I may come across as rude from this, but that is not who I am.

Important Information

I am looking for any kinds of artwork that you Gaians have to offer me. It can be full body, bust, head, paint, marker, photoshop, anime, chibi, sketch, realistic, and anything else. Those were just some examples. I'm also looking for any kinds of poses and expression. It can be: angry, crying, happy, sexy, standing, sitting, laying down, jumping, flying, floating, evil, mysterious and anything else along the lines of expressions and poses. You can also add any background that you want, just makes sure that it fits the theme of the avatar that you choose to draw.

My art contest begins on October 31st. It will end on January 1st. That gives you about two months to enter. I cannot extend the deadline, because I will be out of state without computer access after January 1st for awhile. I also chose for it to end of January 1st, because why not start off the year with a bunch of new gold, if you win?

You do not have to pay me to enter this contest. It's free.

YOU CAN ENTER AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT, WITH AS MANY DIFFERENT AVATARS AS YOU WANT.

If you enter more than once, it'll just increase your chances of winning, if they're good drawings.

****I WILL keep all of the art that has been entered in my contest, even if you don't win. Just remember that. And I might post it in places. Once you enter it, it's artwork that has been given to me. I can do with it as I wish. ****

Avatars to draw

Here is a list of the avatars that I would like you to draw. They are not in any particular order, and there aren't any that I would like you to draw more than others.

If you want, you can kind of combine some of the items from the avatars that I have listed. Just make sure you tell me that you did in the "other" section of your entry form.

And yes, I do have all of these items. -____-
