This Contest is over. Click here if you would like a reminder PM when I start my next contest

Hello! Welcome to my third art contest, Tempo! I picked this name because music tends to influence a lot of my roleplaying, and this is an OC art contest. Please read all of the rules. If you don't and make an entry I can't accept there's no one to blame but yourself. I cannot stress this enough. There's some very important details in there.

Advertising,bumping and referrals contest winners:
The Advertising Contest winner, with 3302 Points, is Alex Rae! Congrats, you win 50K Pure Gold!
The Advertising contest runner up, with 2925 Points, is sugar_sweet100! Congrats, you win 25K Pure Gold!
And for my best little bumper I never hired, Sandra Arashi: You have spent weeks bumping this thread to get a grand total of 662 bumps. You worked just as hard as some of the hired bumpers and you knew there was a good chance you wouldn't get anything out of it being that bumps gave the least amount of points. For all your hard work and dedication, I'm awarding you 7500 Gold. ^_^ Thanks for the help!
The advertising and referrals contest is understandably now closed. I will also no longer be handing out prizes ever 25th and 100th page.
--------------------------------------------------
It's been a looooong haul, but the contest is finally over. In three weeks time, we'll close up wip period (Maybe earlier if everyone is done already), and I'll then judge and hand out the prizes as soon as I can after that.
Many categories have gotten so many WIPs over the last few days that they should be able to make the prize requirement if the wips are finished, but if they won't, I make you all a promise right here and now: If all of the WIPs in a particular character category have been finished, I will still hand out the prize regardless of whether or not it has met it's requirement.
I want to thank everyone for putting in a tremendous amount of WIPs. If there is any issue with one of your WIPs missing, please PM me and we'll work it out.
Now, let's get those WIPs in!

It is now officially a little over 2 weeks until contest end! The counter has now changed from weeks to days (except for on the lesser used sig images, i'm too lazy to update ALL the sigs EVERYDAY).
Four categories have hit the requirement mark now, and the main category is only 12 entries away. I'm confident we will not need to extend the contest this time!
I may lower the requirement on some of the other categories as the contest ends, so keep those entries a-coming (And varied. The more likelihood I have of a clear winner in one category the more likely I am to wave the requirement and hand the prize out).

The contest prize pot is now officially 8 million gold! Inflation is such that I started with 5 mill and we are ending with 8. XD Yay inflation making prizes cooler! only three weeks left to get your entry in, hurry hurry!
Monday, November 26th, 9:15AM CDT:
We've reached the 7 million mark!
All single character art prizes are now worth 250kish, and the pair one is worth over 600K. Come on and enter! You won't regret it!

There's been a prize change switch-a-roo. The original alternative style prize was getting unfairly high over the best realism prize. I therefore promoted best alternative style prize to best CG prize, and assigned a new prize to best alternative to keep it fair amoungst the different types of artists.
I have also changed "Best CJ". The winner will now receive an Autumn Glory in the place of an elegant pearl drop choker.
I will let you know if any other changes in prizes develops.

The contest has gotten the last of it's very many changes, the deletion of Minor Characters to avoid confusion, and the inclusion of pixel artists into the body of the main contest. These changes have been made in hopes to spur more interest. Nothing else should be making dramatic changes at this time (except for maybe post order a wee bit, I'll decide that soon). Thank you for your patience.
Anyone who might have drawn minor characters already is free to PM me with proof of artistry, and we can work out a commissioning deal. The one individual who had already entered a minor character picture into the contest will be paid shortly.

I have gone through my links and updated links which were tinyurl to gaia addys. Having said that, there were threads I did not fix. These threads are:
Threads which required me to post in them in order to get my link fixed
Art Auctions (because they are temporary threads and may not even be active anymore by the time Gaia gets around to killing tinyurl).
If you are either of these and would like to get your link fixed, just let me know.

Over the past week, the contest has seen some drastic changes. I have extended, cleaned up some of the links, and the prize pot has been updated, putting it over 6 million gold in prizes. All non-WoW Major characters have gotten an extreme prize face lift (Making all non-WoW major character picture prizes now over 175K). Prizes and Rules posts have been flipped in an effort to get people more interested in what they may win before scaring them off completely with the rules. A Myriad of new banners are available, with a few more still to be put up. The reminder list, AKA "The Nag List" as been instated. I have hired bumpers (Don't worry they are not eligible for bump points towards the bumping/referral contest). I will soon be giving 'quick profiles' on Major characters.
All of this has been done in an effort to get more entries for the contest. However, I still need your support! Go out there and tell all your friends what an opportunity they are missing out on! Get me links! Bump! Do everything you can to help me, so I can do everything I can to reward you for your efforts and hand out these prizes!

I have added a weekly raffle to the contest, to honor those who chill around the thread with prizes.
