I know at least a couple people said they were excited about entering, but there's only one submission in the contest folder and the official deadline was two weeks ago. So... I guess it's the start of the school term for a lot of you, maybe that's all the problem is? I'm giving everyone until September 30 to get entries in.
This is why we stopped having contests so often. Because this always happens. I'm sorry if it's because the themes and prizes aren't so great.
The contest folder is up, and should be accepting submissions!
So far there are still no prizes, and only 2 or 3 people who are interested in participating. So, if you think you'd like to participate, please at least comment before the end of the month. And if you'd like to donate a prize, send a note or comment! Thanks!
Well, someone asked if there was going to be another contest soon. That reminded me that it's been a while since the last one, and a very long time since we had monthly contests.
So... contest!
This is sort of spur of the moment, so the theme will be Celebration!
Kyokai no RINNE just celebrated the publication of its 200th chapter, and this year marks the 5th anniversary of this group, Rumiko Takahashi's 35th year of being a mangaka, and I'm sure many other milestones.
So, draw your favorite Rumic characters, celebrating! They can be celebrating anything. A birthday, a wedding, Takahashi's 35th anniversary of being a mangaka, free ice cream day... whatever! You can even "cheat" and say they're celebrating something like gorgeous summer weather or the fact that they're alive. [And they do not have to be celebrating something in-season - they can be having a Christmas party if you want!]
You can mix and match - Inuyasha, Mr. Soichiro, and the little dog from Wasted Minds having a little doggy party? Sakura and Sakura celebrating the cherry blossom festival?
Prizes!
None yet! To donate a prize, comment or send a note! I'd like there to be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Hopefully there will be more than two entries in this contest.
Prizes can be anything - points, free art, dolls, free stories, journal feature, even a llama (although remember you can only give a llama once to each person - I've seen people in other groups offering to give, say, 3 llamas to the 3rd place winner, which is only possible if you have 3 accounts).
Winners!
I'm going to do something different this time to determine the winners. 1st place will be determined by judges, rather than popular vote. The 2nd and 3rd place WILL be popular vote.
I'll talk about the judges at the end of the contest, but anyone can be a judge, regardless of whether or not you entered. (And basically what I'd want the judges to do is write a paragraph or so on why they think a certain entry should win, rather than just being like "um I like this one the best it's really funny").
Due date!
Erm... Let's shoot for having all the entries in by August 30 (the END of August 30 - if you submit early on August 31 that's fine).
September 30
Submit your entries to the "2013 Celebration" folder, which should be up in the next day or two.
Any questions, feel free to ask!

Folder categories
Hi, it's been forever, I know.
The last few months we've been having some problems with misplaced deviations.
Okay, most of the folders are named for the series of fanart they take. The Inuyasha folder is only for Inuyasha fanart, Ranma is only for Ranma 1/2 fanart. Please don't submit Urusei Yatsura fanart to the Inuyasha folder, for instance.
Now the biggest problem lately is the Misc.. I realize from the name maybe it's not totally clear, but that's for OTHER Takahashi fanart. Mermaid Saga, One Pound Gospel, the short stories. It says this in the folder description in the gallery, but I know that doesn't show up if you're submitting fro
Winners!
I'm a little impressed with myself, I'm only one day late this time!
Well, here we go. It was pretty interesting, counting up the votes this time. Often in these contests, there'll be one entry that pops up in everyone's 1st or 2nd place slot, for whatever reason. This contest, however, there was a real mix of which entry placed where, and voting was really close. I mean, if one more person had voted, probably everyone would've placed differently. But we'll never know.
First, a reminder of the prizes:
Prizes
1st place: A 10-picture journal feature, two full-color headshots of any character of your choice (doesn't have to be a Rumiko Takaha
'The Holy Pearl'
In my browsings, I have stumbled across a Chinese live-action tv series that is apparently loosely based on Inuyasha.
Take a look: http://holypearl.wikia.com/wiki/The_Holy_Pearl_%28film%29
Its Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Pearl
Sounds pretty interesting.
You can watch it here (first episode) http://youtu.be/QnSjVQYDtS8 but there are no English subtitles.
Speaking of live action Inuyasha, there was also a live action musical version of Inuyasha, produced about 10 years ago. You can watch it HERE: http://youtu.be/z0xJ9I63M_g Again, no subtitles, and apparently the casting is... weird. I haven't watched the actual th
Contest voting! *minor edit*
Just a reminder to vote! Only 3 days left!
Well, we've got 4 entries now, which is way better than the 1 we had before! And the deadline has come and gone (twice), so I think it's time to vote! All of the entries are great, very cute, and oddly enough, each entry features a character we don't usually see in these contests (there's even a Maison Ikkoku entry! Maison Ikkoku has the least fanart of the 5 main series, so I think that's pretty cool there's an entry featuring characters from it!)
Since there's 4 entries, instead of just the 1 there was originally, I'd like there to be 4 place prizes, instead of just 3. You all can still offer pri

I'm working on an entry as we speak. It's nearly complete, but remember that I am Pacific time so my midnight is later than most.
