Final scores are up! I had 4 judges not respond with their scores for whatever reason, so there will be only a max of 240 points versus 400. These scores are out of 240 possible points, listed by the highest (winner) first. Thanks to everyone for participating and sorry about the delay! Hope to see you back next contest!

This was very close, had more judges responded with their scores it'd could've turn out slightly different.

Contest Details:

Contest ends at midnight eastern US time, 12/31/08. NO EXTENSIONS!

This will be a holiday themed contest- pics need to be either Christmas or New Years themed.

There will be three different parts to this contest, each one has it's own separate winner that will get a 3 month sub for getting first place. Note that the 2nd and 3rd ones are more mature geared... so if you're not up to drawing fan service or more intimate moments, please don't look at those categories.

Once again, I will be needing judges- I'd like nine judges plus me this time- there's 3 categories and I want to have a better overall grade for the pics. Please comment below or note me to join!

As usual, this is a "couple" themed contest. (But groups are allowed for category 1, like if you want to draw the Sailor Moon inners having Christmas dinner, for example. Those of you that have entered my contests before know that sometimes is (I of course mean fanservice- especially in the 2nd and 3rd categories)


Overall theme of the contest:

Simple, really. Draw your fav. couple or group from one of the animes on my list or suggest one that isn't. The characters should be involved in some kind of holiday activity.

For category 1- keep it PG rated, maybe PG-13. Try drawing them singing holiday carols, decorating a Christmas tree, sharing a meal together, opening presents... you get the idea. Keep the fanservice to a minimal and focus on romance and friendship, please.

Category 2- Pg-13 rated... maybe some skin, etc. could be showing. Could be a girl dressed up in a sexy santa suit or someone of either sex wrapped in a bare minimal amount, like with ribbons and a note saying to "Open me/unwrap, merry Christmas". No sex but make out situations are allowed. Whatever you think your couple might do to celebrate that special day together...

Be sure to use a mature tag on your art!

Category 3- Once again, no sex but could be something a bit more R rated. I'm sure those of you that would be interested in drawing something like this could come up with a intimate setting for a couple to spending time during the holidays and draw something romantic or funny to fit a situation. In this category, I am looking for sexy for sure!

Settings could be at a hotel, love hotel, hot spring, resort, etc. It doesn't have to be somewhere cold that they are celebrating the holidays, so don't assume there has to be snow, for example.

Be sure to use a mature tag on your art!


Entries and other rules:

You can enter as many times as you want in any category. If the scene is pretty steamy or showy, I'd recommend making a note in the artist comments that the characters are 18+ to avoid any problems with DA. One winner per category gets a 3 month sub. If the same person wins 2 categories, there will be a face off between the 2nd place people for that prize.

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 or Hikaru/Seiashiro 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
Naru/Keitaro from Love Hina
Ami/Urawa, Rei/Yuuchiro, Usagi/Mamoru from Sailor Moon
Aoi/Kaworu from Ai Yori Aoshi
Meryl/Vash from Trigun

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)

Other Rules:

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/ face off between the two 2nd place winners in question or give both the 1st place prize. Either choice is at my discretion.

3. If you're entering category 1, keep it more family friendly. Mature art is #2 and especially #3. Entries must have the mature tag and mention the characters are over 18 if it's something that would require that- I don't want anyone to get into trouble and I don't want to, either.

4. 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 ideas called for above in your category- dependent on which one of the three you picked, of course.

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 nine judges cannot participate in the contest itself, so if you're going to enter for sure, don't sign up. (I'm judge #10)
