Welcome to Gaia! ::


Welcome!

All right! So this is the deal. I'm a horrible artist, but I get a ton of ideas for pictures that I'd like drawn. And... I make a lot of characters that I'd like drawn, some of them more than others. So this is my contest, to draw it perfect. I'll give you the descriptions of my characters, or a description of the picture I see in my head. I want you to draw them/it. I want good artistry, and I really hope to get some good entries for this. So... on with the rules.

Rules:

1 ) I want quality work, not pieces of crud.
2 ) No swearing or profanity in my thread!
3 ) Brownie points are given to those who donate and those who make sure the picture is modest. (IE: I Don't want Porn. Any Cybering, and you will be reported and disqualified. Also, my description of modest is sleeves, modest neckline, no stomach showing, and nothing extremely short -short being above the knees in pant/skirt cases-. I don't want to see underwear. No offense to those of you who have different standards, but these are mine.)
4 ) I reserve the right to be as biased as I want.
5 ) Don't complain to me for gold.
6 ) You may have up to 3 entries. (Yes! you could win more than one prize!)
7 ) Entries are sent to me via PM
8 ) If I find out you have ripped someone else off in any way, you will be disqualified and reported.
9 ) All Gaian Rules Apply.
10 ) Don't complain. I can't stand people who whine. Unless it's a valid complaint with something I'm doing horribly wrong.

Any Questions, comments, complaints? Feel free to address them here, or pm me.

The contest for Shattered Spirit is closed.
The Descriptions

Shattered Spirit:

A picture of an angel, a fallen angel. A long flowing dress of light blue surrounded her body as she sat midspace. Long golden curls tumbled about her shoulders and torso to her waist. Her pristine white wings half folded around her, she looks at you with eyes so dark a blue and flecked with white they seem almost silvery blue, and stare at you with a depth of despair unknown to humankind from a delicate face. Her hands, lying open on her lap, hold the pieces, pieces of a golden, broken halo. All this is seen, as she seems to sit in the night sky, blackness all around her, the stars twinkling in the background, as she seems lost in space, in the heavens. A broken angelic spirit.

or

The picture would be of this same girl, without wings, in this setting. And yes, it is written in rp form. She would be IN the picture, and it would be like any other drawing. There in her notebook was a picture painted in soft blues and grays. It was unlike many pictures, a slightly smoky effect that gave the appearance of fog. It was of a small grove of Japanese oak trees, with a stream running through it. On that stream was a bridge, a small clutter of leaves gathered in the corners and along the small bank of the stream. Lone leaves seemed to drift down from the trees in all their autumnal beauty. A single leave seemed to be alighting on the swift little stream, half submerged as the stream looked to be trying to tug it away with it. It was a picture of peace, a silent reverie, perfect to every last detail of each leaf. You would have to include her somewhere in there, perhaps walking absently on the bridge, or dangling fingers into the brook...

For those of you who drew Daire, I will be compensating you for your pictures, but the contest will not take place due to lack of entries. The other thing is, I've killed that character off in the domain I was using, so though I love pictures of her, it's no longer the demand for it I had before. I will be pming you shortly, and if you entered and my mind blanks, make sure to pm me.

Pictures of Trinity

All right, this is less of a draw it perfect as it is draw what you think. The basic description is as follows. There is only one, but if you want to, since this is more creative, take the liberties you want. Change things. But keep the idea!

Trinity has blueish black straight hair of whatever length you want to make it. Her eyes are a dark, penetrating blue, or covered by slim black sunglasses. Her build is slim but firmly muscled. She wears fingerless black gloves, a short sleeved black shirt, and light blue jeans. She wears black boots. If you want to add a coat, it would be a thin black trench coat with a strap that ties at the waist, and no other way to hold it closed. Her jewelry must be silver, and any stones must be sapphire or black diamond (obsidian) and she must have SOMETHING with obsidian in it. Nothing too elaborate on the jewelry side though. Hooked on a black and silver belt would be a small gun at the back hollow, a THIN sword at her waist, and a pair of hatchets either in her hand or belted.

The setting: I want her either in a field approaching a large building, or coming up the steps to said building. It should have a ruminative, semi-rustic look. If you know FFVIII, think Garden with a field out front. There should be a sort of wind, rusting clothes and hair. The hair should be blown slightly from her face, as if conjured to circle around her. There can either be sparkles of bluish-white light in the air or growing in her hands, because she's calling magic.

Above all, she should NOT be smiling. She is beautiful, yet solemn in most everything. She does not frown, simply look at things neutrally. If you can manage it, have an air of gravity and solemnity about her countenance. She is a prophesying girl, and treats her prophesies with utmost importance.


So There. I've tried to be descriptive and give you options that best suit your artistic abilities. Now it's up to you to make the pictures come to reality.

Uh, I know you! I might enter this... I'm also wondering if I'm going to actually get the 2k I won in your last contest... whee
O.O You didn't get it? Geh, I shall have to send it again when you are online! Just to make sure there are no more difficulties. Eck, I hate this. Every trade I send has been canceled, or deleted.

But yay! I know someone! And it's actually letting me check this! Woohoo! Sorry, yeah. The site has been totally acting up for me lately...
Ermm... when does this contest end?
GAH! Second page is baaaaad! I must bump!

Ermm... when does this contest end?


It says sometime in February. 3nodding
Drat! It was on the second page!? Well, meh. The site hasn't been letting me check anything tonight until I refreshed like crazy until I got the result I wanted without a bazillion error pages!

Anyways, yes, sometime in February, because I am undecided, and it's still a long ways off so I don't particularly have to.
