'Duality' Graphic Contest

*bloodrose83:iconbloodrose83: reports, February 4
The text below is taken from my journal about the contest that I'm running that will be opening February 7th, 2008.

Contest details and FAQ


So, what’s this thing all about, anyway/who’s running this?


Glad you asked. To sum up, this contest is being run by me, :iconbloodrose83:, and it’s to draw art of my original characters, using the theme of duality. How can that be depicted? Plenty of ways. Just use your imagination!

Why is the theme being called 'duality'?

In the world I've created, there exists a clan who is run by a holy messenger of their gods called the Oracle. Always, the Oracle has a caretaker (someone in their family, usually) who is meant to care for that person for life. In exchange for a strong soul and the gift of communication with the gods, the Oracle has a weak body and a short life span. Because most caretakers are with their charges from the time they're children, it's normal for a caretaker and an Oracle to have a strong paternal/sibling bond. However, there are also many cases where the Oracle and caretaker are connected by their very souls as well. In olden times, it was often said that the Oracle and their caretaker were more like one soul sharing two bodies; whatever affected one affected the other. Hence, the theme.

All right, so how long have I got to get this done?

The contest will be running from February 7th through May 8th, 2008. So, that should give you about three months to come up with something. Entries will be accepted until midnight of May 9th to allow people in different time zones to catch up.

I don’t work for free, I’m a busy person!

Rest assured, I understand that a lot of folks around here use their art as a serious form of revenue and would like exposure for their work. That’s why prizes worth money will be offered to two winners and an honorable mention.

Okay, so what are these prizes?

The list is as follows:

1st place winner: Full color picture drawn by :iconbonbon3272:, and a print of $40 USD value from the dA print shop, OR a 5,000 word short story by me featuring original characters of their choice (since I can’t do both the print and the story thanks to time/money constraints).

2nd place winner:Greyscale picture drawn by :iconbonbon3272:, and a print of $20 USD value from the dA print shop, OR a 3,000 word short story by me featuring original characters of their choice.

Honorable mention: Lineart drawing by :iconbonbon3272:, and a print of $10 USD value from the dA print shop, OR a 2,000 word short story by me featuring original characters of their choice.

What mediums can I use, then?

Anything you like. Paints, pencils, flash animation, GC, traditional, even sculpture. Be creative and have a good time with it and make sure your submitted work is completed.

Where do I go to find information on these characters, then?
