THE CONTEST

start date: july 8, 2009
end date: August 8, 2009 (may be extended)

acceptable media: anything! (excluding general photography and literature unless its a comic)

Subject: I want you guys to create some art about me and my fiance in our animal forms linked here and here. The artwork should include both of us and should display happiness, positivity, love, etc. In other words, make it a happy piece! I prefer art that shows us in an environment doing something, as opposed to a calendar pin up on white paper. Both types will be accepted, but keep that hint in mind.

Judging will be done by my fiance, ~OniMushaKid, and I. It will be judged based on the following categories:

general aesthetic appearance (20%)
likeness to the characters linked (30%)
composition (10%)
feeling put into it (40%)

you don't have to be an amazing artist to win this one! what i want most out of this is to feel the happiness through your use of artistic elements.

Prizes! (feel free to note me to add prizes! its greatly appreciated )
