Ye Olde (mostly) Free Raffle!

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

This pretty Deep Woods gal has managed to keep hold of a rather nice territory, mostly because her aggressive red dye-job has convinced her neighbours that she's not worth fighting. Unfortunately, her clever dye job has also convinced most of the males nearby that she's not worth courting either.

This clever Shadow has figured out her secret, though. That red dye isn't meant to intimidate - it's meant to imitate the red lotuses that grow in the boggy areas nearby. In attempt to woo the reclusive Deep Woods, this Shadow has brought some red lotus flowers to impress her. An atypical courting gift, to be sure!

Alright guys, here's the deal. This raffle is FREE. No gold, no RL money, none of that sort of stuff. There is a wee catch, though - we're asking for a little bit of your time in payment!

The short version:
Draw a red lotus, and get a ticket in the raffle.

The slightly extended version:
(details borrowed from Meepfur, who is hosting a similar contest here.)

The gist of it is that in another shop, Edelsteine, they're trying to collect red lotuses to save the world from ending. Since we want to help them in that effort, we're hosting this raffle to help collect some more lotuses. Specific rules and details are below. Full details are available at the main red lotus event thread, here.

- The lotus must be red
- You have to make it yourself (MS Paint, Photoshop, pencil crayon, whatever!)
- It can be any shade of red (but not pink or orange!)
- It doesn't matter how you decorate it, so long as it's red
- Quality DOES NOT MATTER, you don't have to be an awesome artist
- The lotus you enter must not have been used for any other lotus-related event
- Every unique red lotus is a ticket
- Please post each lotus in a separate reply to this thread
- The Kitsu (and other colour-your-own) lotuses are NOT eligible

Oh! And one last thing - if the total number of lotuses offered gets high enough then this pair will be guaranteed to have a clutch! How many lotuses will it take? Who knows! Best make as many as you can, to improve your chances and help the hopeful Shadow impress that lovely Deep Woods!

This is a lotus.


If you wish to enter the raffle, please use the following form:
[b]Username:[/b] (Yours, or someone you want to enter for)
[b]Lotus:[/b] (Please link the image here)


This raffle opens now, and will run until 9 PM EST September 15.

Please note: You must be a member of the guild to post your red lotus. Just send in a request and be patient, and feel free to hang out in the shop thread and chat with us! We will be checking the guild for applications on a daily basis.

--Bonus Prizes!--


Hey guys! Just a quick little note here to let y'all know that while the raffle only requires a red lotus to count as a ticket.. we will be giving out prizes for funny, creative, unique, and otherwise remarkable entries. These prizes could be anything from an owl ticket to a random Sentinel to a full custom! And they'll be awarded.. whenever we feel like it.

So don't be afraid to get creative! heart

exclaim The first random prize for the lotus raffle goes to Haren, as promised, for his crazy lotus-inspired Spore creature.
The prize: coloured lines for Sanguine


--Advertising!--


Since the whole idea with this lotus thing is to get as many as possible, here are a couple of banners to help folks spread the word! If you're interested, put one in your sig and post here ONCE to let us know that you're advertising (using the form text below). That post will count as a free ticket in the lotus raffle, AND you'll be entered into an advertiser raffle for a chance at a semi-custom Sentinel prize (more details to follow)! Also, if you refer someone here and they post your name along with their lotus image you'll be entered in for a chance to win a referrer prize (more details to follow).

If you wish to advertise, please use one of these images / code:

--Questions and Answers--


Sooo. How many can we enter? xD -shot-
As many as you want! Each lotus must be a unique entry created by you, though. No copy-pasting or fancy Photoshop tricks, sorry!

Is there a rule to what can go in the pictures?
There has to be a red lotus, anything else is completely up to you!

Are we looking for just a single lotus per entry, or can we draw some characters with it?
You can draw just a lotus, or you can draw a character with a lotus, or.. well, there just has to be a red lotus, really.

And do multiple lotus in a picture count as one or many?
I'm going to say that an image with 100 lotuses counts the same as an image with 1 lotus, because we're giving out tickets on a per-image basis.

How come I only need to post once to tell you that I'm advertising? Shouldn't I post every day?
Nope, just once. We don't want the thread taken over by advertising posts, see, since it's supposed to be full of lotuses. We'll check folks at the end of the event to see if they're still advertising, and those who aren't will be removed from the raffle.
