I always hand out stuff like sketches or extra points to non-placing contestants because I'm always super grateful when people join my stuff lmao in short I love you and I'm most likely going to give you something even if you don't 'win'.

~~YOU'LL WIN MY HEART THOUGH ISN'T THAT ENOUGH. ...probably not.~~

The judging!

I will be judging on effort and creativity mainly.

That way, even if you don't draw like the gods, be 100% sure you have a chance.

I will have Kotow helping me out as always (if you haven't heard of him, I drag him with me into whatever I do. And he lives with me, so he can't escape. Poor soul.), and a few friends I'll ask for second opinions as tie-breakers!

By the way, while of course I will be subjetive because I'll pick the ones I personally like ahaha, just fyi, I pay a lot of attention to effort/details/etc because, UM. I always encourage effort on art, as it helps us improve and whatnot. So, if you're like me and get disappointed from time on time because you feel no one will pay attention to how much detail your grass or sky or building has... I do. 8D;;;;

If you're not into details and stuff though, that's perfectly fine, draw whatever makes you feel more comfortable! There is no problem at all.

ALSO HEY check the previous contest (2011) contestants if you happen to have free time!! All of them are gorgeous and deserve all the love.

AND UH, YEAH. That's all!

Have fun, if you decide to enter!

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks for reading!!
