Big big thank you to everyone who thought i was worth that much lol
I guess i can retire now, at least for a year or so, since 2020 will be a super busy year for me. I will try to participate when i can, but we'll see.

One day left to submit your artwork for the Family Photography contest!

Ano... is this a collab contest? Or am I supposed to team up with my non-member wife?

 

[Purity of Magi]

Omg I just realize there is an artwork contest for valentines day and I am fucking trying to finish a recent drawing of my favorite couple (and already am past the deadline because V-day is already over, but whatevaaah). Let's see if I can manage to do that within the deadline, would be quite nice if I can do that (and feel satisified about it XD).

Or perhaps hm....... @MarmaladeSky is it alright if I can use a 'not so recent drawing, but its not older then 6 months' to enter the contest perhaps, or is a comic allowed also? Lemme know!

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 18, 2020, Original Post Date: Feb 18, 2020 ---

Oh never mind, it's a team up contest, isn't it? :/Does it necessarily have to be an artwork of you and your duo or can it be characters from anime? Is there also the possibilty to still enter it solo? That would be quite convinient tho.

 

[Marmalade]

This is a collab contest yes, @Organizized!

@Purity of Magi - It's fine if the artwork itself is a bit older. As long as it hasn't been used before in an art contest. Comic is totally fine, let your creative mind run wild. Same goes for your question regarding it being anime characters instead of your + partner. Just make sure it does have the "valentines day" theme!

As for the possibility of solo entering, I'll have to discuss that with @Kiki so will get back to you asap!

Congrats Marma and me on the win on the family photo contest.
It seems it was a thorny situation? Nice concept - on the photo.
Are you growing them?

Forgot about the contest, late reply.

Thank you! I really like your picture too!
Yeah, I've got way too many plants to be honest haha. I've recently planted some cacti seeds as well so hoping that will turn out good!

Isekai Writing Contest

I am a new member and I don’t know how the contests work. For a submission, participants are required to enter their story in the contest thread and include the following…

“Isekai Writing”- “Title of Story” by "Creator's Name”

Is this correct or am I missing something? Also, what are participants expected to enter in the “comments” section?

Thanks

Hi and welcome! Happy to see you found your way to this little art section of the website

As for your questions, here's an example of what it should look like when submitting (this example is a piece that won a poetry contest last year). Doesn't look like you missed anything!
Example:

Forward and Backward Poem - “Daydreams/Insomnia” by riki

As the day slowly fades into darkness
I lay on my bed
With my loved one slumbering next to me
For random thoughts keep me awake
To no avail
I try my best to shut my mind
But fears and worries refuse to let me be
I stare out the open window
I linger in my bed restlessly and prepare myself for another day
As the night slowly turns into dawn
