Okay, guys! I'm starting a new contest!

Concerning my running poll it was 50/50 between couples and cross-overs when i looked last time (10.21 pm my time) so It's going to be these two themes...

I won't open two categories again this time, but you are allowed to submit works from either theme this time. They will be judged in the very same run!

Prizes:

1st prize: 3 month sub, 1 month feature, free sketch
2nd prize: 3 month sub, journal feature
3rd prize: journal feature

Special prize: 1 month feature, free sketch (as last time, this is given for the idea I like the best)


Accepted media: Drawings, writings, photos,... and whatever else you can come up with. There was a little confusion about this in my last contest. YES written entries are acceptable too, and if you want, photos as well though I can't really imagine how you are going to do that... lol...

Rules:
-You are allowed to submit more than one entry, but only one entry can gain a prize!
-All medias accepted
-Must have something to do with the two themes (see below)
-No 18+ content (a little mature content is okay, but don't overdo it...)
-Entries must be submitted till deadline: 15th July! (Might be extended for 2 weeks, but NOT more! You have to give solid reasons for an extension!)
-Send me a note with your entry. No messages, no comments, NOTES! (Otherwise I might forget about your entry... That'd be a real shame...)



Themes:
1) EoT-Couples. ANY pairing is possible. (With any I MEAN any. And if you want to pair Frosta with Ifrit, go ahead! xD) malexmale, femalexfemale is accepted as well.

2) Cross-over/Alternate universe. Ary in Wonderland, Captain Callo Sparrow, Yuna as Pocahontas,... Think of something nice and go ahead~ It should be recognizable in some way though... Just putting a chara in a knight-armor and saying it is a midage-movie doesn't count. Name the movie, series, anime, manga, TV-show,... in your artist-comment, so we actually know where it comes from.



How I judge the pictures:
I got some questions last time concerning how I judge the pics. I have a few criteria for which I give points:
-Idea: The idea behind a picture. If it makes me laugh, cry, happy,... A picture has to give away emotion to be really awesome. Just putting a character on a sheet of paper without pose or interaction just doesn't look as good as something that is strong in emotion and expression.
-Effort and Details: Is it a rushed picture or did someone really sit down and work hard on the details? YET simplicity can look really good too concerning how you use it. The balance has to be okay.
-My own impression of a picture: I am human, and this means I have my individual taste. To not give this point too much weight in judging I give away the 'Special Prize'
-Coloring and Style: How does the coloring look? Is the style individual?
-And the most important point: How does the picture/writing/... fit into the theme? Does it match well? Are the charas recognizable? Are they individual or out of chara?

I won't give away my exact ways of judging/giving away points as I don't want ti to end up as a point-hunt...

If you have questions or need refs feel free to ask~



There is a contest from out university 'Our sweetest smile' and my best friend is taking part in it. She wants to win a usually very very expensive camera.

All you have to do is to click on this link and fill in the code. That is all.

You can vote more than once btw.

It'd be great if she got enough votes so she won the camera! It's a matter of less than 1 minute for you but in return the camera would usually cost over 400€. I accidentally let hers drop in the disco last month so this is the least I can do.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Klick on the Button 'STIMME ABGEBEN' beneath the green star-/flower-shaped thing with 'contest' written on.

It will redirect you to a side with a code. Just type it in the Code and click on 'Deine Stimme abgeben' on the bottom of the page.

As I said, it won't cost you more than 1 minute of your time (If you had time to read up until here, it took you longer than to just go there and vote! xD) and if you remember it every once in a while, you are allowed to vote more than once (Just once a day though). The contest is still running until end of june.




I can't remember if I featured *Tabon (alias Solait) in my journal-feature already, but her gallery keeps amazing me every time I take a look at and I want to share this fascination with all of you as I think of her gallery as one of my absolute favorites on whole DA!


If you want to be featured or know someone who needs/deserves attention, please send me a note!
