This contest's rules...

Contest #4

1. Same prizes/rules as usual- 3 month sub for first, and you can only win once per contest, if you win more then one category, your prize automatically goes to the 2nd place winner. Winner will be the one with the most votes in each category.

Category #1: Song pictures

I will take some suggestions on songs, but right now I only have two. I would like the song title on the top or bottom of the picture, so everyone can see what song the picture is from.

1st Song- "Take It Easy" by the Eagles. Lyrics to illustrate: "I was standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona... such a fine sight to see/A girl my Lord in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me..."

Characters to use: Make Kaji from NGE the one on the corner and Misato the woman in the flatbed Ford. I will upload at the end of December a picture with that exact corner, so you can see what it looks like.

2nd Song- "Brickhouse" by the Commodores. Lyrics to illustrate: "She's a brick... house. She's mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out. She's a brick... house. I like ladies stacked, that's a fact/Ain't holding nothing back. She's a brick... house. Well put together, everybody knows... this is how the story goes..." You can also pick other lines from this song, what it talks about is a common theme throughout.

Characters to use: Any guy singing to his stacked female companion, shaking her body in a sexy fashion to the lyrics of this song- whatever anime you want.

3rd Song- TBA

Send me suggestions for songs and who'd you like to have illustrated in them, and I'll post them. The type of music doesn't matter...


Category #2: Anime Women on Safari

Instead of my traditional swimsuit category, I have another themed idea instead. Draw the anime girl(s) of your choice from my list of animes in something appropriate for the background location I'm going to supply. They could be taking a picture, admiring the view, watching the sunrise, etc.

Since I did Australia as a theme for contest #2, am choosing a different location and continent for this one. The mighty Victoria Falls, in South Central Africa, will be the setting for this. I will post links of what these falls look like below, so you can use that as the background.

What/Where is Victoria Falls? As quoted from the wikipedia.org article: "The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are, by some measures, the largest waterfall in the world, as well as being among the most unusual in form, and having arguably the most diverse and easily seen wildlife of any major waterfall site."

Pics of the Falls: (From wikipedia article) Use any or all of these as a basis for the background.

Pic 2: [link]
Pic 3: [link]
Pic 4: [link]

Pic 6: View of Falls Bridge- [link]
Pic 7: Another bridge Picture- [link]

Please be sure and mention in the comments that your characters are at Victoria Falls in Africa. As for the women I want to see for this round, any female characters from the following animes will do: NGE, Princess Nine, Stratos 4, Love Hina, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Full Metal Panic, Ai Yori Aoshi, Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Trigun, Noir, Magic Knights Rayearth, Ikki Tousen, Godannar, Madlax, Martian Successor Nadesico, Green Green. Will take suggestions from other animes as well, please note me first.

Category #3- Harry Potter

Since I just got the new 5 movie DVD box set with all the extras, it's put me in a Harry Potter mood so I came up with a new and fresh idea for a category.


Here's the challenge- draw some of the main characters from the animes I list below, dressed up as Harry Potter characters. An example would be Asuka from NGE dressed like Hermoine, Cologne from Ranma 1/2 like Professor McGarnickle, Keitaro from Love Hina as Harry Potter, May from Pokemon as Hermoine, etc.

Minimum of two characters, maximum of however many you can fit in your drawing.

Please tell me who you plan to use and who they'll be representing either in the artists comments or labeled on the picture itself. Here's a list of animes you can use characters from- if there's something you want added to the list, note me or put a request in via a comment here in the journal.

Same animes as Category #2- NGE, Princess Nine, Stratos 4, Love Hina, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Full Metal Panic, Ai Yori Aoshi, Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Trigun, Noir, Magic Knights Rayearth, Ikki Tousen, Godannar, Madlax, Martian Succesor Nadesico, and Green Green.


Category #4- White Day

Draw an anime couple from the list above, with the men returning chocolate or other gifts to the woman who gave him gifts back on Valentine's Day. This is the traditional Japanese way of celebrating this holiday season and I'd like to see it drawn here.

Category #5- Spring Showers

Show any couple above caught in a spring shower/downpour. Can be funny or romantic.
