idea Guess what? We Have a mini Art Contest!

Kyu and Lining's Second Art Contest exclaim

Dear Readers, Lining and I have decided to stomp on our old contest and make a new one, a better one! There is only three winners but they are all in first place. You wonder how this can happen, or if I'm crazy? Well I am crazy, however there are going to be three categories to choose from. Each subject will have only one winner. The first prize winner who will receive 15k. The prizes are subject to change depending on our donations.

Why make a new one?
Because I have 45k lying around and nothing to do with it. I don't have a dream avi and I?m pretty content with mine (besides getting more hats). Lining had so much fun with the other one she was thinking to just have one more! Though I don't think she was thinking the prizes would be so high. wink I'm hoping if this contest goes extremely well then we'll have to host yet another one, but with winning categories. 200k will be hard to get up to, but it's worth it.

It's not
-To be drawn by such an artist is a honorable privilege.
-Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
-Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
-True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist

I do hope those quotes give you an undying urge to draw us. exclaim

Rules for the Art Contest

1.) No stealing or using stolen art work. If the art is stolen then you are automaticly reported without a warning.
2.) You can enter more than one picture to increase your changes of winning. You may also win more than once.
3.) Because 50g is for any additional pieces of art submitted by one person, the art cannot look worse than the first picture. This contest is not a charity, 50g is not just handed out to anyone.
4.) You must name your picture _Kyu_Artcontest, when I save it I will add a number to the name. If you have more than one picture entered than add to the end a Roman numaral. Ex. _Kyu_ArtcontestIV
If you do not know how or what roman numbers are, PM me.
5.)You must enter your piece in the following form:

Quote:

exclaim Name of Gaian
exclaim Catagory
exclaim Number of Entry
exclaim Picture Link
exclaim Passwords

Each post has a secret word hidden and clues are distrubuted out so that I can make sure that you are reading each post.
6.)Respect the TOS
7.) Bumps and general chat is accepted.

the fall

All rules are subject to change like the hidden words above the quotations on the first post. If I see the need to add or change rules I will do so. Make sure you are following them correctly. Warnings are the first sign you did something wrong, the second is a report to the admin and your name on the BadList.
