Finally a traditional challenge!!! I really do feel that the digital has kicked the traditional to the back. I'm better at traditional then I am at digital.

@moonlit dream:

^^ I don't mind interpretations, but I'd at least like to be able to recognize the character based on an original image (created by the original artist), or based on the description.

If not fan art, that part doesn't apply at all.

~Abyss

In the judging criteria, what does "how it looks compared to the original" mean?

oooooooo!!
I'm so excited to do this.
I feel the same way all the time about traditional art... but I refuse to give up doing it!!!

@Colorful Paint:

Yup, no past submissions~ And, there's no need for a reference, though if you use one, I'd love a link to it.

~Abyss

@phoenix509:

Well, that's okay. (I don't remember seeing it...)

~Abyss

@izuzu15:

If it doesn't... well, time to try harder! *goes back to drawing*

~Abyss

@HanakoAnimeaddict:

It has to rise!!!!

@izuzu15:

Yes! It will rise~?

~Abyss

@kita mikichi:

^^; No, it doesn't. Any style is fine, as long as it's traditional.

~Abyss

I agree! This is a great challenge! Traditional art shall not die!

Does it have to be in anime style?

@AnimeGal816:

^^ Well, I wish you luck then~

~Abyss

I feel the same way. :{ poor traditional art, it needs some loven'. :3 im mainly a traditional artist so the next thing i submit will be for this challenge. ^^

@Ellenor Mererid:

XD Well, I'm glad you entered it~

~Abyss

@Nino Umaka:

^^ No problem~ I'm glad you asked (otherwise, I probably wouldn't have ever thought of that.)

~Abyss

@HanakoAnimeaddict:

Well I wanted to submit it as soon as I could, in case I forgot and accidently deleted it

@HanakoAnimeaddict:

Haha! Okay, I was thinking that we could use ocs, but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

@Ellenor Mererid:

^^ I see you've already entered it. And yes, water color is fine. Anything is fine as long as it's not colored (and/or drawn) digitally.

~Abyss

@Nino Umaka:

*facepalms* Right, I forgot about that. Yes, it could be art of your original character.

~Abyss

So it has to be fan art? We can't draw our original characters or anything?

Is water colour okay??

@toyotami kun:

^^ Glad you agree with me~ And I hope you can enter too~

~Abyss

this looks fun and it would be nice to see traditional art come back! XD I'll see if I can enter!

@LGA775:

^^ Feel free to~ (At least, I'm hoping someone is interested in this.)

~Abyss

Aww wow this sounds interesting..Since all my art is Traditional i might join this contest of yours..^^
