2.
3.
4. Me

Contest Details:

Since I've done an Australian themed contest already, and an African one... it's time to pick another continent.

South America

That's right, it's South America for this contest. I will provide several different scenarios/locales for this, please pick one of them and make a picture based on it. PLEASE mention what category you are using and what your background reference pic is! If you have a picture from one of the categories below and want to use it, please put a link in the author's comments to the original background so I can see that it's from wherever you say it's from.

Once again, I will be needing judges- I'd like to have 5 or 7 judges. Please comment below or note me to join! I will first describe the scenarios/locales and then the contest rules will be next.

Some reference pics for a background for each are be provided but you can use your own, see two paragraphs above for more information on that.

This is a "couple" themed contest. Please draw a pair from one of the animes I list at the end of the scenarios/locales. Those of you that have entered my contests before know that sometimes is (I of course mean fanservice)

Animes to use for the couples:

I am open to other suggestions, please ask so I know what you're drawing. Otherwise, I'd like to see some couples from the following animes...

Neon Genesis Evangelion, 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, Beck, and Green Green.

Of course, my fav. couple is Shinji/Asuka- others I really like are:

Ryo/Hiroki from Princess Nine
Misato/Kaji, Rei/Kensuke, Toji/Hikari, Aoba/Maya from NGE
Ash/Misty and Brock/Duplica from Pokemon
Ranma/Akane, Nabiki/Kuno, Ukyo/Ryoga, Shampoo/Mousse from Ranma 1/2
Kaname/Sousuke from Full Metal Panic

Special props to anyone who draws one of them, I may give out a surprise sub even if you don't win. I'd especially like to see a Kaname/Sousuke, Brock/Duplica, Rei/Kensuke, or Shinji/Asuka pic. (Hint, hint)

If you want a general idea of what the older Duplica from my story would look like or be wearing (these are beach pics) click on the following two links. [link] and [link]

Contest Rules:

1. Judges cannot enter the contest.

2. Voting will commence at that time and will run for one week or until the seven judges are finished. The winner will be the one with the best overall average at the close of the poll. If there is a tie, I will either hold another run-off poll between the two winners or give both the 1st place prize. Either choice is at my discretion.

3. Multiple entries are allowed, but each one must be a different scenario.

4. 1st place gets a 3 month subscription. Winner takes all!

5. No nudity or sex... this is not a "H" or hentai contest. This contest is more on the rating of "E"- which could mean either "Everyone" or "Ecchi", depending on your entry and your view of this contests author.

6. Entries will be judged on the following:

Color- How well the colors work together and how true they are to the respective character.

In Character- How true to the character the idea is- this also applies to their choice of clothes or lack thereof.

Background/Setting: How well you duplicated the general idea of the reference pics provided for your choice.

Lineart- How well drawn the lines are in the picture, how smooth it flows.

Grading would be on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best. These will be averaged out between the categories to get a final number and then put against each other.

NOTE: The six judges cannot participate in the contest itself, so if you're going to enter for sure, don't sign up. (I'm judge #7-there has to be an odd number or there'd be a tie!)


Any questions? Please ask! Need more reference pics? Just ask! Don't forget, is , at least in some of these...
