UPDATES
6/29 - OH GEEZE SORRY, BUT HERE'S ANOTHER, NOT JUST FOR YOU, BUT FOR ME. CONTEST NOW ENDS ON JULY 28TH
6/5 - SUPER EXTENSION TO ALL MY LOVELIES. CONTEST NOW ENDS ON JUNE 30TH
4/11 - DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 10th
3/23 - So far I've gotten three entries and I lovelove them. I'm actually really happy to see so much prose. Maybe in the future I'll encourage some writing contests. owo Anyway, I'm so happy to see your support and enthusiasm. Happy Easter everyone!





It is yet again that time of year when I feel the need to hold a contest. Hopefully we can make this fun, exciting, etc etc etc, yeah, you get the deal. Hopefully this time we'll get a better turn out, yeah?

Now here's the skinny.

Your theme this time will be "artificial intelligence". That is all I am going to say on the matter since it's up to your intelligence. You can take it literally, metaphorically... however you want, I just want to see some thought put into it. Surprise me. ;D

Your submission can be anything, in fact, I'm really hoping to see some variety in not only with artwork or prose/poetry, but I'd love to see some really interesting styles. It's never too late to try something new.

What I am looking for when evaluating entries is simple: I want to see you really think about the theme, challenge yourself to be creative and original. If I can look over your entry and say "Oh wow, I never thought of that" or "What a great way to use the theme". Sure, nice artwork and pretty words are always helpful when conveying the idea, but what I really want is just that, the idea. You are also free to enter as many times as possible as long as you keep in mind that I'll grade everything individually and just because you have five entries doesn't mean you can crap out on me. 8C

And what prizes are rewarded? Oh ho ho, why, please check the following:

First Prize: One piece of anything you stinkin' want (aka - in any medium) including a background and any subject(s), along with two sketches, each limited to one subject.
Second Prize: A simple piece of 1-3 subjects in any medium, and one sketch.
Third Prize: One simple piece in any medium, limited to one subject.
Runner up(s): One sketch, limited to no more than two subjects. (Note that anyone who doesn't win First, Second, or Third gets something <3)

Entries




Now, when is everything due? I want to see all entries uploaded and noted to me by April 11th. The date is tentative, but let's try to keep it as solid as possible. ;D



ISN'T THAT EXCITING?

With that, I leave everyone to your thoughts. I am unbelievably excited to see what everyone comes up with, so let's get moving!

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask.

Ah, srsly? I'm flattered~
I actually think it'd be kinda fun to redraw that picture sometime, though not for the contest.
Whatever happened to Gyne and Kayote and all of them? They still around? (I still check ALt-SIgma every now and then to see if anything ever gets added to anything.)

TSE is pretty much dead now. To be honest, not enough people read it for me to feel motivated and frankly, the story was a whole lot of suck. I do need to bring them back somewhere though.


... :O I think I just figured out more stuff for Bells. Why thanks you. owo

I liked it. Ferral comics have gotten a lot of interest lately. I think you were just a bit ahead of the times.

Ahahahaah yesss! I am lookin' forwards to seeing those guys again. I missed 'em.

Wise words from T-B-W: People say violence isn't the answer. Well, they're right. Violence is the question. The answer is yes. :evillaugh:
