Adoptable* explained :
I will be making a batch of especially made adoptables for the Contest. Only those who entered the contest and the winners can obtain the adoptables.
The first place winner will get first pick choice at an adoptable, then second and third, and lastly the donor. If one of the winners do not want the adoptable, the choice will be more higher for the remaining places. If for example third winner doesn't want it, donor can pick from two. The remaining adoptable will be put up for sale, seeing as I'll be broke after the contest.




Greetings!
Hello there, everyone! Yes, as the title suggests quite straight-forwardly, I am hosting an OC Drawing Contest!
So, here it goes. c: If you want to skip all of the unnecessary things, just keep scrolling until you see the " Task " Title Box. @ u @
Well, I've been thinking of holding a contest for quite a while now, and since I've gotten more attention recently, I thought : Why not just hold it now? So, here I am. So, why a OC drawing contest? It's overused, I know I know. I'm doing this because I want to see drawings of my OCs though ; u ; . Instead of running around and commissioning people left and right, this makes it more simpler. Heck, if I like your entry and the contest is over, I might just commission you. c: Aha, so anyways, let's go to the important things now.


Deadline :
Contest Started As Of : May 4th, 2O12
Deadline : August 1st, 2012
11:59PM Timezone : EST -5 ; New York Time Zone

It was purposely made for the Summer Vacation, so people have the time to do it. c:


Task :
Your goal is to draw my original characters . It's that simple, really.
You can draw either Jinx or Dae, though to be honest, I secretly dot Dae more. xD

Here are their references :

D A E :
" Here is my Original Character, Dae : fav.me/d4wiu4m || Here are drawings of Dae by others : fav.me/d4wiu4m || NOTE : Her eyes in her old reference and drawn by others may be blue, but I've changed it to brown. I hope this doesn't cause much confusion! ; u ; . "

Here are some alternate (seasonal) outfits :
fav.me/d4ik0kx || faintlaughter.deviantart.com/a…

J I N X :
" Here is my Original Character, Jinx : fav.me/d4sknmm || Here is her concept sketch : fav.me/d4jmkgs || Here are drawings of Jinx by others : faintlaughter.deviantart.com/f… | NOTE : In some of the drawn by others, she may look like she's wearing leggings with crosses, but she's not. Please see the official reference~ c: . "

She has no alternate outfits at the moment. ; u ;

Scoring + Extra Points :
Here's how the scoring would break down :
Creativity : __/25 || Judge's Liking : __/45 || Pose : __/15 || Coloring : __/15 ||

Extra Points :
They may seem little, but once they add up with the final score, they make a difference!
+1O points for Pink Theme for Dae / +1O for Purple Theme for Jinx
+15 points for drawing them together or with your OC
+5~1O points for a background

So, the possible amount of points are : __ / 1OO , but if you do the extra points, you can get up to 135 / 1OO !

J U D G E S :
The judges will be me among with my friends. To make sure no bribing is possible, I have chosen friends who do not have DeviantArt accounts to help me judge, ahaha. xD

Rules/FAQ :
Please read them over. I am strict with certain rules, you get ONE warning before you get disqualified from my contest.
:bulletblue: You can enter up to 3 Times.
:bulletblue: No harassing or starting drama with other contestants. Do not discourage them and give mean comments to them.
:bulletblue: Nothing sexual or offensive ( gore, nudity, etc) , please. I am not into that stuff, keep it G rated and clean.
:bulletblue: Do not trace or use a base. Please, I know some people use bases and such when they start off, but I do not want to see them. Do not trace because that is just disrespectful.
:bulletblue: If I have commissioned you or art traded with you, please. DO NOT use an old drawing to submit to the contest. You may only submit drawings SPECIFICALLY drawn for the contest.
:bulletblue: Please link back to the contest when you finish your entry or favorite, so others can know about it. c:

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will add more as they come alone.

" Does it have to be digital? "
- No, it can be traditionally drawn as well, but if you are drawing it traditionally, please make sure your quality is good. (:

" If I donate, can I enter as well? "
- Why of course! Your prizes will be stacked, meaning if you win 1st place and won the raffle, you'll get both prizes.

" It says every participant gets 25 points, what if I win? "
- Like the last question, they will be stacked. If you win, you get the prizes + the 25 points. The features will not stack, however.

" Can the clothes be changed? "
- In a way, yes it can be changed. The clothing can be changed, HOWEVER. You have to keep their color schemes and use around the same shades. Nothing drastic like putting Dae into a puffy dress, please. Before you change their clothes, make sure their clothes match their personality.

" Does it have to be colored? "
- Well, no. It doesn't have to be colored, but if it's not colored, you will lose points in the judging process. Also, obviously I prefer colored over non-colored drawings and you will be at a slight disadvantage.

" Does it have to be full body? "
- No, it doesn't. It can be chibi, waist up, anything! Though don't expect a headshot to win over a full-body, you'll have more advantage on a bigger canvas/size.
