ALRIGHTTTT
yes you read. I'm holding my first ever TheOtaku contest to celebrate my upcoming 5th year anniversary here C: (which may also be linked to my deviantart since my 4th year anniversary there is merely a month before)
It is going to be a very broad subject.
Draw any character in my gallery that I have created. yep. thats it. My gallery dates all the way back to March 2005 so there is a vast variety.
And there is also my DeviantART Gallery which has more people in it, if you wanna take a look.
If you are unsure of whether a character is mine or not, follow these steps.
A. check to see if it says 'original Anime' or 'personal fanart' in the category.
B. Make sure that the picture is not dedicated to anyone specific.
C. If you are still unsure, send me a PM with the link and feel free to ask.
Q&A
Q- What if you only drew the character once, then ditched them? can I still draw them?
A- Yes. as long as they're my own creation, though there is an exception for Adriel who was made by Saiyukiluver specifically for my story. you can draw him too.
Q- I want to draw this character but I don't know what that part of their outfit looks like...
A- Feel free to PM me for a better refrence or use your own creativity to create your own little bit of the outfit C:
Q- What qualities are you looking for when you judge?
A- I will be looking for personality in the picture. It doesnt necesarilly have to be in the character...but the picture in general.
Saying, If you drew one of my characters standing there and giving a peace sign and winking... that will have a less chance of winning than a picture who has a character running and smiling deviously in the woods.
Creativity, people! >|D
Q- Is there anythign you wouldn't draw if I win?
A- yep. not much but there are some.
-Complicated animals, Mecha, and full nude.
Q- Can I mix characters that I randomly find in your gallery?
A- sure thing :3
Q- can I make Guy/Girl1 Kiss Guy/Girl2 in the picture?
A- yesyes. feel free to make any pairing you want. it can be yaoi, yuri or hetero, i don't mind. If they are different series completely, that's fine too. I want to make this contest as free as possible :3
Q- I don't watch you...can I join anyway?
A- lawlawl I don't care C: Open to all people who use this site~
Q- Can I include my character(s) as well?
A i dont care who goes in the picture as long as someone from my gallery is in it |D
If you have a question, feel very free to ask me :D
PRIZES~!
THIS is a fun part. I will pick 3 winners. but the prize depends on what you draw for me.
Say you draw a quick sketch with a headshot and win. thats what your prize is: a sketch of a headshot.
now on the other hand, if you drew a full out CG with background and 20 characters. I'll return the favor and do the same. (no kidding)
There are a few mediums I can't do though.
-Marker, because I don't have them D:
-Acrylic, same as above
-Lineless, because I'm too dependent on outlines +_+
- Vectors, just because I suck at those oAo;;
Though if you use those mediums, I'll just have to make your prize something different.
The Deadline: 04/15/09
This may change, but I pick that date because it is the date that my TheOtaku account turns 5 years old C: (and almost exactly a month after I turn 18 D.: )
---------------------------
Now for that doodle...
Man I've been getting into the Trinity Blood series alll over again 
Its really something!
But I wanted to keep true to my doodle journalness...and this is the best one I could find in my sketchpad so I spiffyd it up a bit and here it is c:
A slight change from the usual theme of my doodles, huh?
