There are three contests involving Rufus that you can participate in. You can post your entries for any or all of them in this thread. Everyone who participates will get some sort of prize. Please remember to follow the instructions, and have fun!

Art:
NPC Interaction! Draw Rufus with at least one other Gaia NPC. Maybe he's running away from Rina, who wants to dress him up. Maybe he's stealing fish from Old Man Logan. Maybe he's doing dancey dancey with Diedrich. You decide! You can even put yourself in the piece, but remember to have at least one other NPC. Please use the form listed below to submit your entry. Both traditional art and digital art will be accepted, and if there are at least one of each entered, each category will have a first place winner. You can submit as many pieces of art as you want, so get to it!
