Other Information

Due Date
July 25, 2008
if you need more time, let me know, and i can extend the contest for a few days to suit your needs.

How can i get extra points when im being judged?
there are a few things that i look for in a piece, some being originality, and creativeness, but you already know those, so here are a few pointer-out-ers that should come in handy.
1. backgrounds are always nice, scenic will obviously be more impressive than a gradient, but a gradient is more impressive than nothing at all
2. more than one character in the picture is always something that makes it more eye-catching. draw xyle and your character interacting for example.
3. adding a story to your picture seems to make it come to life, just a little something in a paragraph in the description can give it that little 'umf' that you need.

Prizes
1st place: one full commission done by me, and a 3 month subscription
2nd place: one full commission done by me, and a 1 month subscription
3rd, 4th and 5th places: one colored character, and one lineart all done by me
