'Hoh boy, 'hoh wow~!
It's about that time, folks !!!
August happens to be my birthday month, and my birthday happens to be at the end of August (the 30th) and it also also just so happens that all I want for my birthday is to see some new art !!!
(and it just so happens I tend to commission NG artists quite frequently ?? [with some being WIPs atm!])
But, man, just viewing new art isn't enough?? MY HUNGER GROWS AND THE ONLY WAY TO SATIATE MY APPETITE FOR NEW ART IS TO INFLUENCE ITS PRODUCTION WITH A CONTEST !!!
A BIG CONTEST!!
WITH VAGUE RULES
AND OCs !!! (my favorite!)
SOMETHING THAT SAYS,
"WOW, THIS IS LIT"
"OOF"
"AM I INVITED?"
"WHERE ARE MY PANTS???"
"ARREST THAT MAN!!!"
"GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!!! >:("
A PARTY CONTEST!!!
DEVIOUSLY RAD POSTER DESIGN BY THE ONE AND ONLY @FuShark
(kiss that man on the mouth if you ever see him) <3

+ Judging will be solely done by myself.
+ Creativity is the most important aspect for a submission; I will not lean towards specific styles or artists that I've become acquainted and/or familiar with.
- Creativity can be generalized as originality, thematic use of style, and intelligent use of the prompt.
- The more precise the idea is, the more I'm inclined to score it higher.
+ Bonus Points: there are a few things that will grant you a higher score if included in a clever way.
- Multiple OCs
- Backgrounds
- Summer Themes
- Dialogue/Comics
- Your Own OC
- Fun Atmosphere

+ Negative Points: there's really only one way to lose points.
- Using Non-Original Characters
And I believe that is everything!!
