now that you know the most important part of the contest, you probably want to know some more stuff that will be rather helpful

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
