I've had this idea mulling about my brain for a while now, and if not without the support of others in agreeance with it, I've decided to open it up to everyone!

The Legends and the Forgotten Documents, as you already know, are sister shops. Many guardians overlap shops, too. So, I have decided to organize a joint Legend/Feedee art contest. The contest itself is only in the planning stages, which is why, of course, I'm going to open up the board to my fellow guardians and friends whose imput I highly value, <3.

[Cross posted with the Feedee guild. I'll likely update that thread more, so information here is at risk of being outdated.]

As far as funds go, I'm going to keep track of two pools: overall winnings for the catagories mentioned above, and the winnings for individual catagories.

What are individual catagories?
    Individual catagories are for those guardians who wish to host a mini-contest, if you will, for their Legend and/or Feedee. They will be required to provide the funds for first, second, and third place if they wish to have a separate catagory all their own within the contest. You are allowed to dictate what your individual catagory will entail, so long as your Legend and/or Feedee are/is the main focus of the catagory.

    Basically, it means you can have a "Best [Feedee or Legend's name] Catagory" and are responsible for the prizes for it.


What are the overall funds, then?
    These funds go toward paying for the overall prizes of the catagories listed above. Obviously, the bigger and more expensive the prizes, the more "important" a catagory they will be assigned to. Many little prizes are also required; please understand that this contest will not begin right away, thus the funds we gather from now til it does begin will rise in value. Buying sealeds every month and donating them to this contest funds pot is a great way to contribute.

    Since the contest will encompass all Legends and Forgotten, I should hope everyone tries to help out in as little or big a way as they can manage.


When WILL the contest start, then?
    This is difficult to determine. Since the Legends have less stages, they are mostly older in character than the Feedee are. Therefore, I'd like to wait and accumulate funds while waiting until most, if not all, Forgotten have reached at least child stage.


What?! I have to wait that long? But my [Legend/Feedee] is already old enough!
    It will work in your best interests, I assure you. The older your Feedee/Legend is, the more official art you will have to use as samples. Obviously, this contest will produce a lot of interest and artwork, so I should hope that you appreciate that the older your character is, the more of a chance there is people will draw them. People can choose from a wide range of ages, especially with Feedee, if we allow them to grow up enough before charging into a contest.


No one will want to draw my Legend/Feedee..
    I assure you, you might be surprised! (: Especially if the funds are high enough, hehe. Even if you cannot afford or are hesitant to fund an individual catagory, rest assured: I will set a number of minimum entries high enough so that it is geared toward at least three pieces of art per character involved. If your Feedee/Legend winds up with less than that in the end, I will see to it that you will receive a commission elsewhere to make up for it.


Who will keep the funds/How do I donate?
    I have begun to accumulate funds onto my mule, innoxious, already. All donations shall be sent there, but please tell me, especially if it's a big item, what it's for. I need to keep track of the items and determine for which catagory they can be used. So if you donate something bigger than a recent donation item, please also send a PM to innoxious stating what your donation is for, either the overall winnings or an individual catagory.

    I will be keeping a running total of the funds here as well as try and keep up with the worth of all the items. I should hope that by now, everyone trusts me with this duty, but if anyone is uncertain, I can entrust the password of my mule with someone else as well if need be.

If you have any questions or comments, this board is now open to any and all of them, n_n <3.

Hey all!

I've just been letting ideas brew in my head over this contest. I think it's fair to ask that everyone who wishes to have their Feedee and/or Legend in the art contest should contribute at least 5k to the overall funds, :3. Hopefully that's fair and reasonable a request to ask of y'all.

And, I demand discussion and excitement! domokun

I think 5k seems fair, seeing as how most quality commissions in the R&C are way over that. << *looks at own overpriced commissions*

Uh.. Don't think this was mentioned, or else I've managed to miss it every time I read through the contest info that's up. Guardians are allowed to enter, yes? I'm getting a tablet soon, so I was hoping that I could sort of "break it in" with this contest. XD
PostPosted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 8:14 am


Of course! I won't ask everyone to be a judge - that'd make the judging process absolutely insane. I'll keep the judging panel small but diverse, half from Feedee, half from Legends, and some who cross over, if I can help it. So if you want to enter, then let me know and I'll make note not to invite you as a judge, <3.

And the 5k doesn't need to be pure; sealeds are preferred, even if nowadays they're much more than that. -huffs- Even donating $2.50 for the mule is sufficient, ^^. Imagine, getting art for less than, uh, your lunch!

Haha, good, good. XD Of course, I do have to admit that it would have made no sense if everyone in the two shops were judges. Madness.

ninja Alright, I'll be poking around in the marketplace for some sealeds, then~

Pshwa, art > food. I skip lunch most days, anyway. XD
PostPosted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:16 am


XD It would! And it'd take forever, too, no doubt.

Though now that we're on the topic, if anyone would like to volunteer to judge and have no plans on entering yourself, please post your interest :3.

MEMEMEMEME. domokun heart Because I suck at art so I don't want to destroy the contest with anything crappy I turn out.

Unless there will be a judges doodles thinger, then I might turn out something for that. blaugh *half joking*

Um... either way, I'd like to volunteer to be a judge.

Also, I have a question. For the individual contest thing... Should the guardians agree to it, would two guardians be able to combine their contests to make a double? (...Does that make sense?)
PostPosted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 8:35 pm


As long as it's okay with the other person, Feedee/Legend related, and you'll of course fund it, it'll be just fine, <3.

Second question! For the individual catagories, can guardians have more than one catagory (of course properly funded)? The reason I'm asking is because I have two ideas playing around in my head, but I wanted to ask to mostly help me make up my mind... xd ;;;
PostPosted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 5:26 am


Yep! That too is allowed, XD.

My question: I have no objection to the 5k per guardian, does this mean guardians of Legends and FeeDees pay 10k?
