Art Contest! {Quitting}

@dragonfriend Hey! First of all, brilliant way to go out. Second, I was wondering if you could give me any back round knowledge on Castiel? Just wanted to know a little about him to get an idea of how to draw him, if that makes any sense. Thanks!

*Breathes heavily*
Time to start drawing even though I was in the middle of drawing my own character.

@sky It's so beautiful *o*. You're so talented!!

@niale

Thank you! ❤️

dragonfriend • 19 June 2016 at 4:58 PM

@chapus2009 I'd love to see some art of Vexam, Darz, or Krotos if possible 😊

@pitch1226 I haven't actually roleplayed with Castiel yet, so I don't have his character fleshed out. So you have full creative freedom here 😊

@niale @sky Thanks for your entries! ❤️

@dragonfriend
Here are some entries:

Bailey:
Crazy excited, non stop tail wagging and bouncing off walls. Doesn't trust men that well. Oh and loves chocolate, yeah bad for her but hasn't killed her yet.
http://s1359.photobucket.com/user/Miranda641/media/Mobile Uploads/20160203_154655_zpsgwnnlxeh.jpg.html?filters[user]=132049628&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0


Sienna:
Stronger than a normal human and has some tricks up her sleeves. She can transform into a tiger and has a nasty temper. Her people live far away from other people. Wanting to stay solitary and keep their secrets.
http://s1359.photobucket.com/user/Miranda641/media/Mobile Uploads/20140522_001917_zpsf04e5d34.jpg.html?sort=3&o=28


Rocky:
Strong and fast. A winning stud with an attitude of a king.

Polly:
With beautiful colorful wings she sings in the treetops. Watching over the animals in the forest. She is revered by the other animals.

Naga:
Named after ancient myths of serpent people usually part cobra though but many other stories of them. That has long past ended. His father was very strong and believed he'd be even strong so he was named after the semi divine beings they derived from. This brought debates from the others of their species saying it was wrong to name him of the gods.

WOW so much stunning art! You guys are all amazing. I added all your entries to the list 😊

And yes, everyone's links work 😉

@dragonfriend I hope you don't mind if I enter 😊 (I suck at drawing though so please don't judge me 😋)

Thank you!

@dragonfriend

Here's my entry! I not only tried to draw Ada and Indra but also tell a story 😊

"Ada! Ada, come here! Ada! ADA!!"

dragonfriend • 30 June 2016 at 5:23 PM

@firedawn @polaroid Thank you both for your entries!

Also, just a reminder to everyone that this contest closes on July 1, at 11:59PM ECT. No entries submitted after this date will be accepted.
After this date, I will be selecting winners, but this process may take a few days as I am currently writing exams.

soprano • 30 June 2016 at 10:52 PM

@dragonfriend I wish you the best of luck in RL 😊 . Anyway, here are my entries:

Ada:
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=726pz6&s=9#.V3UcKlcqpua

Original Character:
http://i63.tinypic.com/5l6ng6.png

This character is a shapeshifter (human form) who has the eyes of a snake, a fox's ears and a lion's mane. It wears clothes made from leopard skin and bird's feathers. The shapeshifter also wears a necklace with a snail's shell pendant.

dragonfriend • 1 July 2016 at 1:27 AM

@soprano Thank you! The links work, too 😉

Ian has specific guidelines when it comes to giveways. You can read them here: http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/44220

The rules state that a contest holder can only "change" prizes in a way that adds on to them. In this case, as the prizes were already established when the contest opened, and so switching them around or making changes like you suggested is a bit of a gray area. So I'd prefer not to (just to be on the safe side). I hope this explains everything!



Also, another note for everyone: I do intend on adding more places in addition to first, second, and third places. I recently resurrected some creatures I plan to add to the pool 😊 This means potentially more prizes and more winners. You can see the creatures in the "extra" tab.

@dragonfriend HAHA! I totally forgot about this Contest... Q<Q

Here is my last minute contest entry.

@dragonfriend
Pffft. My computer sure hates me today.
Anyways, I had a lot of fun drawing Indra. It took me, like, a hundred tries to get her right.: http://i.imgur.com/hEobp54.png

@dragonfriend Second last minute Contest entry. ;'D

dragonfriend • 2 July 2016 at 1:03 AM

@dragonii @greengrass100100
Right on time, thank you!

IMPORTANT:
This contest is now CLOSED to entries!
I will be picking winners within the next couple of days.


I've adjusted prizes to allow for more winners and a larger, better prize pool. The new prizes are:

/First place:/ any 4 creatures in my FIRST tab in my cove and any 1 from SECOND

/Second place:/ 3 creatures from the FIRST tab (after first place winner has chosen) and 4 from the SECOND tab

/Third place:/ 2 creatures from FIRST and 3 creatures from SECOND (after second place winner has chosen)

/Fourth place:/ 4 creatures from FIRST and 2 creatures from SECOND (after third place winner has chosen)


The procedure: I will PM the Placement winners (First, second, third, fourth) so they can tell me which creatures they want as their prize from the guidelines above, after the placement above you has chosen.
In other words, I will PM you when it’s your turn to pick your prizes. Each winner will have 1 week to claim their prize. Please let me know ASAP if this interferes with anything (exams, vacations, etc).


*for reference, the old prize pool was:
First place:/ any 3 creatures in my FIRST tab in my cove
/Second place:/ any 5 creatures from the SECOND tab
/Third place:/ any 2 creatures from SECOND (after second place winner has chosen) and any 5 creatures not in either tab
- excluding "extra" tab and Nym or Onny

Yay!
Thank you for making this fun contest ❤️
It was nice to be able to draw something other than landscapes.
Plus your characters are cool 😋

Deleted • 2 July 2016 at 9:07 PM

Awesome ^^ There were some amazing artists who entered @-@ Heh c: Fingers crossed now I suppose! Good luck to everyone else who entered ❤️

sky • 2 July 2016 at 10:24 PM

Ah, I wish I had more time to have entered in another entry, but unfortunately I've been working on doing 9 commissions. ;-;

Regardless, I very much enjoyed drawing Ada, it was also a big motivation booster to get me to draw more lately, I've been on an on and off procrastination, so I very much thank you for putting up this contest.

Good luck to all contestants! ❤️

inhabitant • 3 July 2016 at 3:00 AM
