5th annual coloring contest! &
Mini contest: Theme: My characters


UPDATES


For all rules, please check the rules and examples link at the top of the page. First set of rules are for the coloring contest, second set for the drawing contest

Coloring Contest:
This, the 5th year, I am trying something new. I have 4 sets of lines available for you to choose to color. You are allowed 2 entries, and you can choose the 2 you like most from the lines presented below.  Instead of having category winners, I will judge all of the colorings together, with a grand prize winner and second and third place instead of a first for each set of lines.  I hope you enjoy the change, if it turns out that the other way works better, I will go back to it again for the next year, so please leave feedback on that if you have any opinion. Thanks!  And that beings said, lets get started! :dance:

Grand Prize Winner will receive:
*3 month subscription
*gift greeting or post card of your choice from my zazzle store at www.zazzle.com/azure_iolite/gi…
*line art commission from manic-goose
*and so much more.

to see all prizes for all winners, check the prizes link at the top of the page. If you would like to donate a prize, please go to the DONATION CENTER . Remember, the more prizes I get, the bigger the contest is.

It doesn't matter where you live, you can still enter and win. Your location will play no part whatsoever in my choice.

The pictures:

You can choose to color up to two of the following four images:
Aiyasha's Power by manic-goose Battle of the elements by manic-goose Clan Leader by manic-goose Megu by manic-goose

Coloring information can be found in the image descriptions.
You are not required to color them according to my descriptions, but they are available to anyone who wishes to be true to my character designs.



My Characters Contest:
You may remember my holding a poll to see if anyone was interested in a draw my characters contest, and since there was a lot of support there, I decided to go ahead with it, so this year, along with the coloring contest, I am holding a draw my characters contest.  The premise is pretty simple, if you see the character in my gallery, you can draw this character for the contest. I prefer it if you draw my main characters, but really, I will be happy to see any of them.  This gives you a lot of choices.

The characters
MAIN CHARACTER INFO for KIALA RYU KOJI and MIAKAI

Grand Prize winner will receive

*Fully colored bust of your original character with a simple background from manic-goose

I have the contest last this long so that everyone has a chance to enter, by including both some of summer break and Christmas break for those of you in school. Sorry to anyone who can't stand waiting, but I find this length works beautifully.

Judging and scoring
At the end of the contest, I will consult my judges to get their overall impressions, and their feelings about the pictures according to the criterion you can see by clicking on the scoring system link. Then I will be scoring each picture according to the same criterion, keeping the other judges' input in mind as I score them.  Using a scoring system and multiple judges helps to make the judging as subjective as possible. When I am finished, I will post all the results so you can see how you did.  This will help everyone to see where their strengths and weaknesses are in coloring and drawing, and I find that people generally appreciate that. The images with the most points will be the winners.

Questions:
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to let me know and I will take it into consideration. Hope you all have fun with the contest, and thank you for joining in on the fun.
