Presenting the Most Improved Manga/Anime Artist contest!

Here's how it works. Take an old drawing - something uploaded and in your gallery in the year 2005 or 2006 - and redraw it to the best of your ability. The same character, pose, outfit, background and etc., but using the skills you've picked up in the last year or two to make it look better than ever.

CONTEST RULES:
You have to present both images when submitting to the contest. I.e., the picture has to be something already in your DA gallery from 2005 or 2006. You submit both links when entering. Include a link to the old image in the description of your contest submission (This is very important!).
Upload the image to the following gallery: contests & projects > contests > 2007 > Manga/Anime Artist. This is also very important!
This is a contest by the Manga/Anime gallery, so the art style used (at least for the new image) should be as such.
You can use any media to recreate the image. It doesn't have to be the same media as the old image.
The new image has to resemble the old one in content, but will hopefully show a great improvement in skill and technique.

Those we feel who show the greatest leap forward in skill will win! There will be three winners and prizes!

First Prize: A one-year subscription OR a DevWear shirt of your choice (hoodie excluded)
Second Prize: 6-month sub OR print of choice (up to $20)
Third Prize: 3-month sub OR DevArt Lanyard

The deadline is TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY! Wednesday, September 12th, 2007!

If you have any further questions please leave a comment or drop a note to ^azarath. Thanks, and good luck!
