Welcome to my contest! I have found myself sitting on too much csc and wanted to give some to hard working people C:

There will be 1 main category with the grand prize and 4 subcategories. Everyone has lots of chances to win lots of yummy csc~

Please join the contest ping group for updates, news etc - FiArtCo Ping Group

Ping your friends and your groups! More people = more prizes! See the prizes section for details C:

Everyone wants to know the prizes right?

【Best Overall Entry】 1st Place - 5k csc 2nd Place - 3k csc 3rd Place - 2k csc

【Best Male Subcategory】 1st Place - 3k csc 2nd Place - 2k csc 3rd Place - 1k csc

【Best Female Subcategory】 1st Place - 3k csc 2nd Place - 2k csc 3rd Place - 1k csc

【Best Couple Subcategory】 1st Place - 3k csc 2nd Place - 2k csc 3rd Place - 1k csc

【Best New Outfit Subcategory】 1st Place - 3k csc 2nd Place - 2k csc 3rd Place - 1k csc

But wait! There's more! If we get lots of people to enter I will increase the prizes as follows: â–º 11-15 participants - I will add a 3rd place to all categories WE DID IT â–º 16-20 participants - I will increase all place prizes amount â–º 20+ particpants - I will add cash prizes to all places

BUT WAIT! There's even more!! All participants will receive 200 csc just for entering and submitting 1 entry and every entry after your first entry will gain you an additional 100 csc up to the maximum amount of 5 entries (in other words, you have the chance to gain 200 csc (enter + 1 entry) and 400 csc (4 other entries) for a total of 600 csc!).

â–º Entries must be your own work.

â–º Entries must be a minimum of a waist shot fully colored, backgrounds (can be solid color, pattern, detailed etc) are not required but would probably give you extra points in the final decision making.

â–º Entries must be digital or good quality traditional (in other words, nothing drawn on lined paper, clean, etc.)

â–º Entries must be drawn for this contest, you may not use anything I have commissioned from you if I have commissioned you in the past.

â–º Participants may enter a maximum of 5 entries

â–º Participants may submit an entry to be judged into multiple subcategories but that one entry can only win a place prize in one subcategory. In other words, a participant wants Entry A to be judged under both the Best Male subcategory and the Best New Outfit subcategory, Entry A will only be allowed to win a place prize (1st, 2nd etc) in one of those subcategories, not both.

â–º If an entry is chosen as one of the place prize winners of the Best Overall Entry category, that entry will not be eligible to win a place prize in a subcategory.

â–º A participant can only win 1st place once in any subcategory (this also includes the Best Overall Entry category). In other words, if participant wins 1st place in the Best Female subcategory, they cannot go on and also win 1st place in the Best Male subcategory, but they can win second place. I would like to give prizes to as many participants as possible!

â–º I reserve the right to cancel the contest if I feel there are not enough participants to make it a good contest (I'm asking for a minimum of 10 participants)

These are my babies, please treat them well C: I will give a brief summary of them here, but please go to their character page for more details by clicking their icon~

Below are my OC babies that you can draw as a couple (only 2 pairings are romantic, the rest are just friends etc) Lots of options!

â–º Kyeran + Faust - see their character pages for their relationship details â–º Kyeran + Esten - they are cousins, see their pages for details â–º Ryouji + Seiji - brother, Seiji is not my OC, he belongs to , his page is here: Seiji â–º Ryouji + Chiasa - romantic couple â–º Meng Yao + Fei Yen - romantic couple â–º Mercer + Laursen - business partners, see their pages for details

All entries will be judged based on quality etc. but for the Best Overall Entry, this will be most important Below I list the things I will be looking for in each category.

【Best Overall Entry】 ► Quality** ► How accurate you depict the character (design, personality etc.) ► Overall composition

【Best Male】 ► Quality ► Accuracy of character depiction especially concerning their design details (this is where it is important to carefully read their character pages)

【Best Female】 ► Quality ► Accuracy of character depiction especially concerning their design details (this is where it is important to carefully read their character pages)

【Best Couple】 ► Quality ► Composition ► Atmosphere/feeling of the entry (does it match up with their relationship or not)

【Best New Outfit】 ► Quality ► Originality of new outfit while still able to follow character's general fashion style, color schemes may vary but should still follow character's personality ► Is your entry a full body?

When you have finished your entry, please sMail them to me with the following format. This is to keep everything clear and organized. I am asking you to mail them to me to keep things private and to keep others from getting discouraged if they see other people's entries. I will post all entries for all to see once the contest is over (unless you request for me not to post it).

All entries will be considered for the Best Overall Entry category so you do not need to include that in your form

Because this is a huge contest, I am making the deadline for about 2 months. I am willing to extend the deadline if there are enough people requesting an extension.

OMFG I LOVE THE BANNERS, IM TOTALLY ENTERING THIS HEHEHE~

Pinging for you, COME AND DRAW ALL HER SEXY MALES AND BEAUTIFUL FEMALES <3 MORE ENTRIES = MORE PRIZES! JOIN, JOIN, JOIN~

aaah i'm really interested in this. i'm so glad to see we have time until febraury, since i'm really busy to enter atm. count me in! ;u;

Ah yeah, I figured a lot of people would be busy with school and such xD I'm looking forward to your entry! C:

bummer this looks cool however i draw animals. I am not very good at drawing people.

You are still free to enter if you would like, as long as I feel you did try your best you will get something ^^

I want to join. Nice to read we have got until 20 februari.

Could you know some of your friends who are artist too. Mebe they like to join too on this contest.

ok i can try. but i only have a camera so i draw in pencil and take a picture of the art. i don't have a proper art program to use. is this okay?

That's fine! Just try to get it as clean as you can so it's easy to see ^^ And please don't forget to join the ping group for updates and such~

Thank you! Please don't forget to join the ping group for updates and such And thank you for the extra pings~

Thanks for the ping :) I'll have to think if there are others who would like to do this I would love to participate because I love to draw and I have an idea for a duo but my ability is not so good so I'll mess around a bit and see if I can make a worthy entry Quick question: When you say you will accept some traditional entries what must they look like exactly for you to be able to accept them?

I would love to see an entry from you! Whatever you decide to submit (if you decide to) I'm sure will be great C: As for your question, I'm just looking for drawings that are clean, not drawn on lined paper and look like people have put effort into it. Because I am offering csc for each entry (up to the maximum number of entries), I don't want people just doodling something really quick on notebook paper and turning it in, you know?

Of course, completely understandable and since you sweet talked me I have no choice but to at least submit one idea :)

Ahaha awesome xD And please don't forget to join my ping group (link listed in first post) so you can get updates and such, it also allows me to get a good idea of who will be submitting an entry C:

Your characters are just awesome! If I had my tablet I'd definitely have a go. If I manage to get it before deadline is up I'll see what I can do c:

this sounds like fun :) count me in

Awesome! I hope you make it in time then, I would love to see what you would enter C:

Fantastic! I look forward to your entry ^^

Oh this looks like fun! Definitely think I'll give it a whirl c:

I'm not sure if I manage to finish a drawing (and if it looks decent in the end lol), but I have a question XD Is it neccessary that Mercers left eye is covered by hair? :) He would be my first choice :3

Hmm it doesn't have to be covered but you would need a functional reason as to why it's not covered, so for example, if you had him wear hair clips or made him wear a headband. Does that make sense? xD

I really like your OCs so I'm gonna try my hand at a few of them. I may submit more than one entry depending on how it goes.
