The new contest deadline is Monday, July 6 at 11:59 pm MST. No late entries will be accepted. Please, from now on, note me your entries.

I will be going to Anime Expo Thursday and I won't be back until Monday (or awake until Tuesday). I hope I get to meet some people from dA there in the artist alley. I'll try not to be too shy or awkward.

Also, thank you for the flood of love that I was not properly prepared for haha (still sick a little ). I'm sorry I could thank each and every one of you, but I thanked as many as I could and I think I thanked all the new watchers and the people that commented.

Hey guys, just letting you know that the contest deadline is the first of July. I might extend the deadline a few days because I am going on a trip. If you are working on an entry and would like an extension beyond that, please let me know. But be nice and only as for an extension if you are actually going to finish an entry.

Thank to all those that entered so far.

EDIT - I added more detail to the rules.
EDIT - Entries listed here - [link]

This contest is simple - Create a self portrait.

See, how easy is that? You can use anything to make your self portrait. You take a photograph, manipulate a photo of yourself, draw, paint, collage... Use anything you want. I hold no bias. The only exception is writing…I’m afraid I don’t have enough experience to judge writers. I would really like to include you but I am not sure it will be entirely fair for you since I know a lot more about visual art than written art.


Here are the rules!

All entries must be received by July 6, 2009. If a lot of people need an extension I will make one but I think July is reasonable.
Any style is welcome. You don't need to draw yourself realistically.
BE HONEST Photo-manipulation is completely allowed but just say it’s a photomanip. If you’re planning to just paint over a photo and pretend you drew it all by yourself hoping to impress me…you will be disappointed. I know what a manipulated photograph looks like. Also don’t submit art that isn’t yours.
I would like it if you drew something new for the contest, but if you have a self portrait that you are really proud of, you can submit that.
Multiple submissions are welcome but you can only win one prize. Right now there is only one prize to win, but I will make more depending on how many people join in.
Please link to your submissions in my journal or note me.

And…I guess that’s it.

Prizes

First Place winner - one fully colored digital drawing of anything you want.

If enough people participate I will add more prizes later.

Well, that’s it. If you plug this contest somewhere please let me know! Good luck.
