*UPDATE*</u> Please just scroll down to see the update (which is marked the same as this here is with the all caps UPDATE), it's important for those drawing something for the contest. Thank you!
Yep! It's that time of year again! (I've just decided now that I'll have one contest a year. That's pretty much how it's been in the past anyways
) A new contest!! And this one's a bit more complicated than the other ones, but only because there are so many more possibilities!!
So bare with me for the explanation of the challenge here. It's a bit, well, as I said, complicated. Not overly though. I'm just horrible at explaining things
So! Here is your challenge! You must draw, or write something, about my RP-self Sabi-chan (pictures of her are in a specific folder in my gallery; some will also be linked at the bottom of the journal), with a video game character that I adore
A list of characters available to you will be below this explanation. You have so many possibilities here! You could draw a simple OC x canon kinda picture, or write a little fluffy (or smutty for the bold ones) story about Sabi-chan with the character, OR you can even draw Sabi-chan playing that video game! The character could come out of the screen, or pull her into it! It's just so different from normal OC x canon stuff, it's more fun, ne?
If you have any questions please feel free to ask through a comment or note; I'm afraid I still didn't explain things very well
Now!! Here is a list of the characters you can draw/write about with our dear Sabi-chan!
Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins
Anders - Dragon Age 2
Kaiden Alenko - Mass Effect
Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect
Carth Onasi - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Dante - Devil May Cry series
Vergil - Devil May Cry 3
Altair Ibn La'Ahad - Assassin's Creed
Sephiroth - Final Fantasy VII
Pyramid Head - Silent Hill series
Luke von Fabre - Tales of the Abyss
Asch the Bloody - Tales of the Abyss
Duke Pantarei - Tales of Vesperia
I don't think I'm forgetting anyone... but if I am I'll add them later
So! These would preferably be romantic pictures/stories, but if you feel like just doing something silly, feel free!
And of course there will be prizes!! The more people that enter, the more winners there will be! Usually I only have 1st through 3rd place winners, but if I get a lot of entries then I may do more! But as it is right now, here are what the prizes for winners would be:
1st place: Fully colored and shaded (digital or traditional, your choice) picture of any one or two characters; canon or OC. Can be chibi or normal styled. Also a llama badge if I have yet to give you one, and 20 points!
2nd place: Fully colored chibi drawing of one or two character; OR shaded normally styled drawing of one character; canon or OC. Also a llama badge, and 10 points!
3rd place: Fully colored chibi drawing of one character; canon or OC. Also a llama badge, and 5 points!
As I said Sabi-chan does have her own gallery folder, which you can find here:
sabi13.deviantart.com/gallery/… , but I'll also put a few pictures below. I'll give a general summary of my/her personality for those who need it, but if you still have questions please feel free to ask!!
*UPDATE*</u> I don't think I was clear originally and that is my fault. These outfits shown here are what Sabi-chan wears now, rather than the old white T-shirt and black skirt I always used to draw her in. So when looking through the gallery folder please do not use older pictures as outfit references. I'm sorry I wasn't clear on that before. One entry already has Sabi-chan with the old outfit now, but I can forgive that because the entry is absolutely beautiful and I wasn't clear on this before so it's my fault
Sabi-chan is a vampire-neko! Wearing mostly gothic lolita and generally dark, pretty clothes. She's shy and very nervous around guys unless she knows them well
She's very silly and likes to make bad jokes with very, very bad puns. She's very book-smart, but not very street-smart... at all. Very naive and gullible. And submissive. And easily startled
Self-confidence is rather low, but it can be boosted. Blushes easily and, despite being an innocent little virgin, does have quite the dirty mind
If you have any questions please ask! This was just a brief personality summary so if it wasn't enough for you I'll be more than happy to tell more in a comment or note
THE CONTEST STARTS NOW!! The deadline for the contest will be October 4th! Though if someone REALLY needs more time than that, I will grant it, but only if they can give me the specified amount of time they need and if said time does not exceed an additional 7 days. You need to tell me if you need extra time or not at least 3 days before the contest would normally end. I want to be able to begin judging as soon as possible so the other people who entered don't have to wait too much longer
Again, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to comment on the journal, my profile, or send me a note
