I've decided to launch the next art contest about a week early. I've had some requests from people who wanted to take advantage of the holiday vacation time, or who had their time for last contest limited by holiday commitments. So, my gift to everone - a new chance to have fun, and maybe win some prizes!

SO PASS THIS LINK AROUND! It's the first contest of 2006, starting a bit early, let's go wild!

The actual contest link on Seventh Sanctum is here.


This contest runs from January 1st, 2006 to midnight EST, March 15th, 2006.

Your Challenge: It's the start of 2006, and to celebrate a year of contests, we're having the first beauty contest for randomly generated people (and people-like things). Pick one of the generators below (or more than one if you want to do more than one entry), generate a description you like, and create it!

However, since this *IS* a beauty contest of a sort, feel free get creative - after all, beauty IS in the sensory organs of the beholder. Does your goddess of assasins really slay them in the Talent Competition? Did someone give your Bishounen the wrong-gendered bathing suit for the bathing suit competition? Can you make a Fangirl Fantasy even more over-the-top? Will your catgirl's hair stylist run out of curlers? Do you do a picture of your super ninja, or just a wanted poster?

Entries will be judged based on how accurately the description is implemented, how imaginatively the description is implemented, how well-characterized the piece is, and any acts of extreme creativity.

• Bishotron - Male (even if you'd argue for 'Other').
  
• Catgirl Generator - Female.
  
• Caguy Generator - Male.
  
• Deity Generator - Male or female, depending on what is generated.
  
• Fanboy Anime Fantasies - Female.
  
• Fangirl Fantasies - Male (even if you'd argue for 'Other').
  
• General Characters - Male or female, depending on selection.
  
• Magical Girls - Female
  
• Magical Knights - Male
  
• Super Ninjas - Male or female, depending on selection.
  

• When you submit your entry, and/or at the location that stores it, you MUST have the exact results from the generator that inspired you. This is vital for judging your entry. It is reccomended that, if you use a hostping provider like deviantart, that allows comments as well as art, you include the description there and in any posts or messages sent to submit your work.
  
• When you submit your entry, please note which generator you used.
  
• When you submit your entry (and preferably where you store it), you must note wether it enters the 'male' or 'female' categories. This may seem obvious, but the Bishotron and the Fangirl Fantasy Fulfiller produce some men who are seriously in touch with their femminine sides.
  
• If you take art comissions, note it in your post to the contest, and provide a link for a preferred method of contact - such as a deviantart profile page, your own web page, etc. A '(Takes Comissions)' link will be provided to that link.
  

• People may make up to two entries in either category of 'male' or 'female', or both in one category.
  
• You may submit "for fun" entries as many times as you want.
  
• You may use ANY medium as long as you can eventually put it on the web as an image - painting, CGI, cosplay, sculpture, baked goods, etc.
  
• You are responsible for hosting your entry in an image format at your own site, deviantart, photobucket, or another such place etc. Direct submissions of art will be rejected. If your entry has nudity, you are responsible for warnings or proper classifications on the storage site.
  
• Entries may be serious, silly, or whatever the creator pleases, but keep things within reasonable good taste. Nudity will be accompanied with a warning on this site as well.
  
• Entries must be made specifically for this contest - previous entries or other generator-driven art may not be used.
  

• You may post a response with link to this livejournal entry.
  
• You may post a response with link to this message board poast.
  
• You may use the "Send Comment" button at the site to send a link.
  
• You may email me at DragonScholar(at)gmail.com.
  
• If your entry is not posted within three days, please re-submit it..
  

• There will be one (1) First Place winner for each of the male and female categories - each winner will get a $35 gift certificate from amazon.com or other appropriate vendor that provides gift certificates.
  
• There will be one (1) Runner-up winner for each of the male and female categories - each winner will get a $20 gift certificate from amazon.com or other appropriate vendor that provides gift certificates.
