✖Welcome_______________________________________________________________________________________________________✖

Hey, I'm Jenn. You can call me Jenn, Jennie, Naomi, or Nami. Whichever you like.
Anyways, my friend and I have been making a manga for...well, about a year and a half, with our OCs. Now we want you to draw them! We have 2mil in prizes to give out to people who draw us the prettiest pictures! Eliza and I love anything - whether it's anime, realism, or chibi style -traditional or CG, any form of media you can think of we'll accept as long as it's a drawing of one or more of our OCs. So go on! Scroll down and get started <3

Quote:

Ugh, Eliza wants to extend this till her bday in July 'cause we can't give away half of the prizes due to lack of entries for each category. some categories have no entries. I swear to G-d, cross my heart this will be the last time we extend it if we do end up extending it. So as of this moment this contest is still going I guess until Eliza Lee and I talk.

Quote:

On the extension site there are a lot more references. We also put up some more of the boys references on here.
This is our extension website.
There you can find more information to work with to make your contest entry better or more unique.

[Host Naomi-chan]

✖Naomi x Isamu__________________________________________________________________________✖

Relationship Description:
They love each other but Naomi is not confident and often denies it when people accuse Isamu of liking her. She thinks it would be too good to be true and that he doesn't like her more than a friend. She is self-conscious and clumsy and always blushing around him. Everyone else seems to know they like each other except for themselves! He says sweet words to her sometimes but neither of them admit their feelings. They do weird things like if he pokes her nose, she crosses her eyes to look at his finger (shut up, that's not weird! my [ex -shot-]boyfriend and I did that lol)
They do end up together but they still act funny and cute, they just kiss then haha.

You can either draw them like described above awkwardly and blushing or with him being protective/possessive. The sword is optional but I think it's really cool if you do him being protective, if not, you can leave it out.

Situations + Poses:
* Naomi can be perverted so riskay poses are loved ;D rawr. heart
* Like mentioned earlier, Isamu pokes Naomi's nose and she crosses her eyes and stares at his finger follow by laughter and giggling.
* Naomi is clumsy as hell so Isamu catching her is cute biggrin
* (similiar idea) You could have Isamu watching from afar like OH! and Naomi falling or tripping or walking into something
* Okay sorry these are all about her being clumsy but they are sooo cute. You could have him kissing a "boo-boo" lol or OMG HELLOKITTY BANDAIDS!!! lol Inside joke sorry. He once told me he was gonna slit his wrists (kidding of course or I'd be flipping out) and I was like make sure you have a bandaid!! lol
* Also, if you are doing a themed pic like at the Winter Wonderland dance (Click here and scroll to Winter Wonderland Dance) you can do them dancing, him asking her to dance, pulling her aside, or whatever part you like of that script.

✖Yumi x Hiroshi__________________________________________________________________________✖

Relationship Description:
Hiroshi and Yumi's relationship is different than most. Hiroshi continues to be loving/sweet only around Yumi. Yumi does not know that Hiroshi Is only sweet around her, but that does not matter. Yumi is peppy, and often a little overwhelming for Hiroshi. Hiroshi can usually handle her **she likes to think that atleast** . Hiroshi and Yumi are very off and on in the story, just like most of Yumi’s relationships in real life rofl . Yumi is generally pretty normal and confident around Hiroshi, but Hiroshi is devoted to Yumi, and obeys anything she says. Hiroshi can be perverted and, as Eliza says all the time, "He's always trying to get in Yumi's pants!" lol I then remind her that's her fault cause she's the one writing it! He's scared of her dog, Miki, who she takes everywhere with her. (Click here to see Miki references)

✖Questions & Answers__________________________________________________________________________✖

Q: I want to draw the characters with pets. I want to see excerpts from the script so I can illustrate them or use them to help me with my themed picture. I need help drawing a couples picture and need pose ideas, etc.
A: All this and more can be found on the extension website. Click here to visit. It is highly suggested you go there and you'll find more information and whatever you are looking for.

Q: Do entries have to be colored?
A: No they do not. However, colored entries are more likely to win than black and white ones unless they have extensive shading or tones. If we like your style, it won't matter much but some color is always a good idea.

Q: Are headshots allowed?
A: Yes, but once again, they are less likely to win that waist ups or full bodies.

Q: I wanted to do a theme picture in which the character(s) are not in their battle or school attire. Is that okay?
A: Yes, but only for theme pictures. For example, a beach/pool party or sleepover would need clothing other than battle or school. Some characters have swim suit, pajama, or Winter Wonderland Dance references so look around. For characters lacking these special references you can make up outfits. If you need some more refs or ideas or help creating outfits, PM the mule. We absolutely love theme pictures and even have some script excerpts you can use to help you pose characters or illustrate a scene from the script.

Q: What about content?
A: Do you mean hot or sexy pictures? Sure! Why not? xd Eliza's going to call me a pervert. Riskay couples poses are good. You can also make skimpy-ish clothing for my OCs if you are designing the outfits for a themed picture. The only thing that isn't allowed is NO FULL NUDITY. No topless or bottomless pictures of my Ocs, kay? Anything else goes though ^^ Also, for pictures with semi mature content, please place a warning note so little kiddies don't open it up or you can PM your submission to the mule.

Not answered here? PM the mule any questions you have.
