Heyo! still attempting to get used to Version Vibrant.
haha I've been here for a long time so i've adjusted 3 times or so before xD
*i think it was since version next i was here...*
this will probably resemble a sketchbook sometimes, and in other times I might accually have something to talk about. *shrugs*
k~ well ive been like really busy all day because I had student orientation orz
MY SCHEDUALL IS BRUTALLL D.B Damn Pre-medddd
yesterday i was just too tired to even remember i was typing a journal orz....
kanyway.
First place goes to MissGoldenAngel
Entry- 
A big thing about this one that made me see it suited for first place is the obvious effort put into it. In my opinion, everything from the Colors to the Composition gives this particular piece the place as winner C:
Second goes to King-sama
Entry-
I really did have a jaw drop moment when I saw this one for the first time. Not only does King's style suit that particular character, but the quality of the art and the custom design added the cherry on the sundae. cuz srsly. I love that outfit DB <3
and Third goes to Namihazure Sama
Entry- 
Namihazure never really did state if this was for the contest or not so I just assumed... but either way, how could I pass up an entry like this? :|
Through Bust shots it can be hard to create something effective, but what I see here, in both, is a succesful potrayal of both their personalities. With either one, you can almost see the scenerio they're in which makes it just perfect <3 As for the art itself, the softness in the lines and coloring drags your eye to wanna look at all of it, and the style couldnt suit that quality better.
and the fact that I only had 4 entries, and 3 prize slots, I'll throw in a refined sketch for Wakusei Aoshi
entry-
This one kinda stuck out a bit with its more focus on the environment shes in than the actual character :D With the look on her face, the eery dark and the pose shes set in, you can almost tell exactly what shes thinking about the whole thing >o<
ANNND thats it.
The way prizes will work for the first 3 is that I'll make the drawing I create for you in my version of that style...if that makes sence. Im not going to copy your coloring style(unless you want me to |:.D), but use what way I color thats closest to it.
So it would be like this.
MissGoldenAngel- Digital Painting-Fullbody, Background
King-Sama- Softcell- fullbody, simple background
Namihazure Sama- softglow- two bust shots
lawl and, youre allowed to change if you want to...like if you want me to more closely represent how you colored the entry, of if you have softcell and want just cell shading.
don't hesitate to ask >|D
---------------
Well I'm tired and thats that :D
If you guys dont get this in your inbox, I'll PM tomorrow...im wiped orz
night~
a new entry and its beautiful ;A;<3
>C< <3
and well the deadline is today. 2 entries |:D
but well...im gonna only do this once but im soooo busy this week its not even funny. i have to go to a computer fair for 2 days, i ahd to do that easter comic before yesterday, i have another i NEED to have done by friday as an english grade...and well i wanted to finish my chibis ive been working on ;A;
and also i need to spend time doing things for college since we still have about $9,000 in fees just for my courses ;c; so im gonna make time for scholarships and loans, and also call back places to well...ask if they got my job applications +_+
possibly apply to more places...i need money :u
and well... i wouldnt be able to start prizes when i dont have time so might as well extend the deadline a bit.
so TL;DR version:
im so hectic his week im extending the deadline to MONDAY. in exchange though, im making this the final deadline for sure and even if i dont get more entries, itll be over. SO SORRY to people who tried getting it done on time ;A; you can edit yours however you want as long as i got the final by monday :>

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? 
End
