About JG: Hello! As one of the hosts and judges of this contest, I thought you would like to know a bit about me. I've been on gaia since October 2003 (and I'm STILL questing for an angelic sash!). I'm a 24 year old graphic designer and I love art! I can be found on devart. I'm on gaia daily, and I'm absolutely obsessed with my comic book guild and have had it since 2003 as well. I'm online every day, but I have a new baby so if I suddenly disappear it's probably diapering time heart

About Chir: I'm another one of the host/judges, I'm a little bit of a crazy silly-bean but I'm likeable, right? Right? Anyway, I met Ghosty through her roleplaying guild a few years ago and we've been coolio X-Pals ever since^^ I'm 17 and I will be a senior in high school in the Internation Baccaleureate Program at my school. In addition to the monster work load I act, draw and read more than is probably healthy for a person but I lurves it! I volunteer at the local zoo and I plan to be a really odd zoo veterinarian someday. I'm always online, even if it's just for two minutes to check PMs 'n' stuff, so if you have any life threateningly urgent news, PM me!

About knight: i'm a bit of a odd ball. after highschool i had a brief stay with the marines. unfortanatly i broke both my hips and my legs and received a medical discharge. i'm the kind of guy who's into the more darker side of comics. met JG after i got a personal invite to her marvel dc guild. hell i love it there. what i like to see are detaled "works of art". something where you can tell the person spent a good deal of time with. art work that i'm looking for kinda needs to have the feel you get from spawn comics, or the darkness comics. but with the humor from the spider man comics. for me, what you'll be drawing is kinda simple. i'm looking for 6 things... that means 6 different prizes from me^^ i'm looking for most comical(humorous), most detailed, darkest feeling, most action packed, most "I'M NOT DEAD YET! " and most, "wait... what?" in other words confused. i'm also looking for a artist for the comics i wright... oh and as for what i'm doing now? i'm a game designer working for black hole gaming.

. Please don't PM us your entries. We'll check the thread every day.
. Enter as many times as you like.

. Use the entry form
. Don't change the outfits
. 10 pieces in each category must be entered for that category to be eligible. More reason for you to enter more than one piece! If not all categories are full, we will extend the contest.
. Recently, I noticed that knight didn't have any entries. So I decided to add thie rule: each host must have 10 pieces of any of thier options to be required to hand out their prizes. That only seems fair to me.
. For options with multiple subjects, 5 entries in each category must be posted.
. You may enter as many times as you like!

_________________________________/FAQ
Q: Who did the art for the main banner?
A: buta-chan
*Poor buta was hacked and had her account's name changed by the hacker to horn lite. She's now on a mule account and can be found in this thread ^__^

Q: Who made the banners?
A: jealousghost

Q: Are you going to add more categories?
A: Most likely

Q: Who are the judges?
A: The three of us. We will judge and come to an agreement on each category.

Q: What does that mean in terms of what prizes I'll get?
A: Each of us has listed a prize or prizes for each category. There will be ONE winner for each category and that winner will be awarded the three prizes. In other words, the winner of, say, Best CG will expect THREE trades with their prizes!

_________________________________/HINTS
JG Likes...
. I like stylized art, unique stuff
. I like the anime style of CLAMP and Yuu Watase and Miwa Ueda
. I like comic book art even better
. I like my characters to look sexy as opposed to cute
. No winking characters... ever!
. JG likes line art just as much as colored stuff

Chir Likes...
. I love ornate/elaborate/very detailed pieces. Detail=
. I like CLAMP too (think Rayearth or Clover), but I reeally love M. Alice Legrow's Bizenghast. Also Hiyao Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle)
. Creative and fantastical things get triple plus points in my book, like Bizenghast or Pan''s Labrynth type fantasy. Very creative but with a bit of a creepy touch. Creepy is optional.
. Old fashioned looking things are awesome: pocket watches, 1800s dresses, Alphonse Mucha style art, etc...

knight's likes:
. humor
. horror
. comic book style art
. anime art
. "demonic" art
. and lots of detail.

_________________________________/WHAT TO DRAW FOR CHIRIRILITH

. OPTION 1: Chiririlith avatar art
. Theme: I love my avvies and since I don't really have much in the way of avvie art I say why the hell not get some? Draw please!
. Outfits: These are some of my favorites, anything I'm wearing is open game too^^
User Image

. OPTION 2: Vasilia Krol-Roleplaying Character (OC art)
. Theme: Anything you'll ever need to know about Vasilia is right here, including some past OC art
Poses: Something elegant as the Gray Queen, with or without V. That or something really silly, feel free to poke fun at her craziness although I'd really love something with her and V as buddies (Eating ice cream, blowing things up, chibis...). Another possibility is Vasilia looking evil and using one of her powers.
Outfits: Feel free to be creative with these, this is just an idea of how she dresses as the Gray Queen so you can change 'em how you please (though I don't go at all for traditional Hellfire Club type clothees). Color scheme would still be shades of gray (for the clothes that is).
