Hey guys! It's me, Ex, here, with a new and brilliant contest for you guys to enter. Check out the project for details! [THE ENTRIES ARE BEING JUDGED NOW, RESULTS WILL BE OUT BY THIS WEEKEND (May 10).] Prizes and rules are listed below. Any questions, ideas, or random thoughts? Just comment! I'll reply as soon as I can. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The song is 'Stars Align' by Lindsey Stirling.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: The most important part of your entry is the character themself - their personality especially. Backstories should be flexible, because the winning character will be used my me in a variety of different situations. Also, characters whose backstory is the most important part of them are not going to be as likely to win, for reasons stated previously. The story is also important - try to make me want more of it - but the art will not be judged as much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RULES -Both single & collaborative entries are allowed, but please don't enter more than one collab. -Please be CREATIVE, UNIQUE, and APPROPRIATE with your entries. NO stealing or copying, and no using premade or other peoples' characters. -HUMAN characters only, please! -Stories must be between 200 and 1000 words (If you want to go longer, that's alright, just ask me and give me an approximate word count.) -Try your best, don't get upset, & have fun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRIZES -Grand Prize: I will use your character as one of my main characters, and feature them in a longer short story of my own. Also, you win a full fanart of that character plus one of your characters (or you), as well as a follow. (For collabs, you each get a follow, but share a fanart.) -Runners-up (3): each of you win a follow, plus you each get a sketch of you and the character you entered with. Also, your character becomes one of my main characters. (Same as above for collabs.) -Everyone else: a small sketch of the character you entered with, plus a love-it on your featured project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENTRIES SO FAR: (12 total) ===================== Finished (6): - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) Incomplete (1): - (solo) Entered, without entry (9): - (collab, needs artist partner) - (solo) - (solo) - (solo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Entries are due by May 5th (originally April 30th; may change).
