i'm a doing mah very first (two lulz) contest(s)!!! 8D it might be a little different from a normal contest. since i don't have the monehs to give a sub or do a digital-ness of a pic or more for you, my contests'll be nothing but traditional art as a reward : hopefully you'll like 'em anyways!!! and yeah, i'm doing two contests at the same time; don't ask me why @_@ the first one will be a Fakemon contest, since one of mah fave Deviants is a reeeaaaal big Fakemon person <3 the other is an original characters contest, because i see too much fanart around here, and not enough originality! the rules are as follows (if there's not specification, the rules are for both contests);

Rules:
1. Must be original; can't be anyone else's art unless you get mah special permission! (Fakemon see below)
2.Fakemon are allowed to be another artist's work if you don't have any Fakemon; you have to get their permission, put it in the artist's comments/give credit, and you have to tell me
3. please make it nice and colorful! i love it when people put detail and heart into their work
4. for the original characters, no OCs from an anime, i want completely original characters

How will I be judging these?:
I'm looking at the effort you put into your drawings, and the heart nothing makes me happier than when I see people working as hard as they can on a picture that's important to them, so that's how I'll be judging; to see how much effort you put into your picture (sorry if i repeat myself) anyone can enter as many pictures as they want, just send me the URL/link on a comment on this journal

if you have any questions, comment or message me! may the best artist win!!!
