Hey there Gaians, Guess what?
Loney, your beloved (or not so beloved) Elder member is leaving Gaia.
It's not like I hate it here or anything. In fact i'll come back to chat with a friend or two of mine thats still here, but I'm really not interested in Gaia anymore.

The forums are overrun by noobs, the entire site has turned into a chatterbox.

The art and items have been more creative lately, but i'm just not getting into it like I did way back when.

Not to mention the only reason I get on anymore is for quests, not to post.

Really I have no insentive left (aside from friends) to stay here on Gaia.
So! I decided to hold an art contest to make up for all this time i've wasted here.
I have two categories in which you can enter. See below for details!

THIS CONTEST ENDS VALENTINES 2007! WIPs due a week in advance!

Subject 1~!

Here is the first subject i'd like people to draw on. ME!
Haha sound cynical? Cheesey? Stereotypical? Egotystical? Good.
Thats me.

I'm usualy quiet and out of the way. When I don't know you, I tend to not smile at you. Sometimes people think I'm glaring at them, and maybe sometimes I am, but that is my normal state. To those who don't know me, I seem like a stone cold wall of hate, but in reality i'm not at all like that. Sure, I get upset quite easily, but when I know you well enough, I get more comfortable and i'm able to express who I truley am: A happy, funny, passionate lover who'd do anything for her loved ones heart .

I like to stay in dark, cool areas, the shade is my favorite place to relax. I love the cold, crisp morning air of a country New York morning. Snow is my favorite environment and I miss the huge tree I used to hang out in when I lived in New York.

I like punkish/emoish/gothish clothing, but am neither one or the other. I'm an individualist. I like everything. Maybe.
I have an industrial piercing (goes through 2 sides of the ear) in my right ear and two loop earrings in my left. All silver

I LOVE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!
(I love nintendo in general heart )

My animal (what I am) is a blue wolf with lighter blue spots.

NOW! that you heard my horrible discription of myself, i'll give you some refrences! Yay!

(If your a dA noob, if you wnat the pic bigger, click on it)

Updated Loney Refrence sheet
Loney is basic clothing
Loney and Taishi in winter wear
I lurve this outfit <3
If you wanted to draw me in wolf form

You can't see them very well, but I have lots and lots of freckles (not alot on my nose though). People say they make me look cute heart

Subject 2~!

Subject 2 is also pretty stereotypical of contests:

the Couple Contest!

There are a variety of different people you can put me with!

Robbie:
My beloved heart I cherish him more than anything in this world. Sadly I cannot be with him as often as i'd like, he's off at college and I have my own school duties (ha, duties) to attend to. But every summer since I mustered up the courage to ask him out (That hill looks ALOT smaller than it did my Freshman year >o) we've seen each other and have been getting closer and closer...
First kiss hasn't happened....yet! wink heart
He usually wears a dark shirt with a darkblue jeans jacket over it, as well as dark pants and kawaii glasses. He has a light, but noticable moustache and soul patch. He likes dark stuff
His animal is a leapord-spotted Chimera

Taishi:
My bestest buddie in the entire world heart I've loved my Tai since we were introduced to each other way back in middle school. We both have a love of art and anime that knows no boundries and we get along like we were born sharing the same brain.
Taishi likes camo and hats and ties. She hates the snow, and likes warm clothing like hoodies and sweaters. SHE LOVES GREEN!
Her animal is a green, triangle spotted Fox

Also can include: (also note that any and all items do NOT have to be present when drawing, these are just for reference to what they would wear)

Alysia: My AZ buddie! (Black and White Racoon) *spork*
< She's a nerd XD

Hillary: Spazzy Az Bud! (Yellow Husky Doggy) *pokes*
< She's a ...GIRL XD You know what I mean?

Brice: He's an a**, but I love him XD *cuddles his big tummy* (White Kitty with black spots)
< He's REALLY big. Both Ways. He wears a black beret!

Adam: He's..well...Adam XD (Black dragon with green bands on his arms and legs near his feet, and on his two horns on his head) *yank*
< He's...indescribable XD
(If your a dA noob, if you wnat the pic bigger, click on it)
Robert and I in animal forms
Rob's hot facial hair XD He has a soul patch too.
Me and Robert (don't use this outfit please) at the way right. Taishi in the middle with the green hair. Adam to the right, the tallest.
The winter wear again, just in case you missed Subject 1

*Also see a chibi picture the wonderful twism did for me and Robbie in my siggy, and subjet 1 for Loney references
