I have a lot of characters that I love to death, but the issue is that seeing art of them in only one style (my own) seems a bit lacking. So, I would like to hold a contest where you draw my character or characters for a chance to win some prizes.

The judging will be based on a number of factors:

• Creativity
                  A simple pose with no real expression is less likely to win than an image that is full of expression and fits the character perfectly.

• Quality
                  I understand that not everyone is a professional artist (me included, lol) but if you give me an image that is so blurry that I can't tell it's my character, or that shows little effort put into it, well... Wouldn't you be hurt if someone did art of you that way?

• Accuracy
                  Some of my characters are really simple. Some are rather complex. If their markings are completely inaccurate, I can't give you full marks on this one, since it's no longer them if everything is wrong.

• Personal preference
                  Let's be honest here... there's no way to explain this, but personal preference does have a factor in how I judge. If I absolutely love an image, then I'll hold it on higher marks than another person's image.


Prizes
I hope to have more prizes to offer as the deadline draws near, but for the moment
this prize pool
lists the prizes that I have, and I will update it as often as I can.
There will be more than one winner. The actual number will depend on the quality of entries, the number of entries, and how many prizes I have on hand.

However, I will try to give everyone at least something for their time and effort in this contest! :3

Now, a few more things to list off:
○ All PH rules apply
○ Art theft will not be permitted
○ Multiple entries are allowed, but you can only win once
○ The deadline is September 30, 2014-October 1, 2014 at reset

Wow, what a beautiful first entry. *Slinks out of range of the icy rage* The smirky toothy grin really sells it as him, so very good and good luck :3

It has been added to the list =D

[MLP Quad] Deadly Blade and Glitch - Shinigami Alicorn and Glitched Unicorn
[MLP Sona Quad] Blue Hoof - Unicorn

Both the links for those reference images are the same, which seem to be both of the Deadly Blade and Glitch. I thought I'd let you know. I'm still working on my entry though.

Time for another bump and some more items have been added to the prize pool. The Fairy Gems have doubled, weather balloons have been added, and a few other changes.

---

:,(

There's about 20 days left for this [Half way from the start to the deadline!]. Please keep that in mind if you are planning to enter.

---

Another bump and an announcement: If I don't get at least one more entry within one week from tomorrow (September 16, 2014), I will assume that there is no further interest in this contest and will end it early. (As nobody has shown an interest in participating in the last 16 days...)

There's no reason for me to keep holding the prize pool items if nobody else is interested in trying to win them.

---

~bump~
Gonna go promote this now 030

Seeing as how only two people entered, even with me giving the warning of one week until closure, the contest is now over!

There will be no judging, as it's rather pointless for only two, so both entrants can pick five things off of the Prize Pool

If you want the boxes and keys option, you can only pick up to a combined total of ten among them. (Your pick, obviously)




As for the dream points, If you want plushies, feel free to give a list of the plushies that you want. I will save up the DPs and send them to you when I have the points to do so :3

Once the prizes have been chosen, and I have replied again, I will request this thread to be locked.

Thank you for the participation in this contest.

As an added thing, someone PMed me about wanting to draw my characters, but not for the contest. Fanart is always welcome, and I save all images done of my characters when they are sent to me :3

1x weather balloon
and a panpour plushie, please!
(i'm fine with not taking two other prizes ^-^')

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot to subscribe to this!
Is it still okay if I claim some prizes?
