After a prolonged winter, filled with snow and chilly weather tails opens his door to find a world of green and warmth. He walks up the path to see wild flowers across the road in the fields. It was truly spring now, and he wanted to get a nice picture to remember it. so he grabs his sketch book and a few pencils, but it seems tails is having a bit of trouble coming up with something to express the true meaning behind spring. do you think its possible to help poor tails?

perhaps drawing him a picture that expresses what spring means to you could help give him an idea? well lets try.


so staff is hosting its first Bi-monthly contest, and the subject of this one is spring. as mentioned above try to draw our favorite tails a drawing showing what spring means to you. the requirements are that the drawing must be yours, and must relate to spring somehow if even in the slightest sense of the word (ie no snowball fights with a flower stuck somewhere in it).

staff will decide the winner, and any staff that would like to participate will be exempt from judging as a way to keep it fair to all members. winner will get a banner along with a special group they can be in with more privileges for a month. second will get a smaller banner.

there will be two winners. one for best drawing, and one for the best portraying of spring

contest will run until may first when judging will begin. anyone may join and dont be discouraged if you feel you are not the best artist, because we are looking at many things when judging. what you think is better than yours may not be better to us :).

have fun with it.

shoot not done but here

Hey! This sounds like fun! ^^ I'll join... I'll start on the drawing tomorrow after school =3~

Awesome! This sounds like a cool and fun idea. I will try to do something. Hopefully until May will be long enough for me.. *gets slap'd for being an extremely lazy and slow person when it comes to making pictures and things* D:

Oo, I wanna try! Here is my entry!

Question though! Do we have to include Tails in it at all? *smack'd* Well...I have an idea in mind...but I forgot to put him in it. My bad. >.>;;

I'll try and get it done...I'm also in another 2 contests atm but I should be able finish it since it's quite a while before the deadline x3

xx

of courrse ill enter cause ill start mine right now

spring here it

all it has to do is relate to spring guns go bang :)

Alright i got an idea^^ Does it have to be colored? I like to draw freehand in black and white

No Dash.. if you think it looks nicer in b&w then go for it. :]

Also Ranma.. I might participate. I haven't decided yet but I might. ^^
I have a quick question though.. is digital art allowed or must it be a drawing..?

You bet it'll look nicer xD Im used to black and white =P Please join the contest BC I wanna see what kind of entry you put in^^

I think I have a good idea for a Spring themed picture. We're allowed to include other Sonic characters besides Tails, right?

Either way, I am gonna join! :]

I have my picture!

I guess I'm in too. x:

Edit: I finished up with my entry. x:
Difference of Opinions

I guess mine has some truth behind it since everyone has their own opinion on what Spring is. x:

Thats a unique way of showing spring^^ I like your drawing^^

Riikka when are the submissions due by? :]

thirteen days untill judging begins

*points to first post where it states judging starts may 1st

I've got a quick question...but is photomanipulation*sp* allowed? I don't think it is...but I was just wondering is all...

you must have drawn the drawing then manipulated it in photoshop. i mean it is a drawing contest ^^

Okies..I was just making sure...I wouldn't've had time to manipulate something anyways xD;;

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53668119/ << there's my submission...I know I'm not gonna win but I tried I guess .3.;

Gewd luck to everyone else. D:

Hope I didn't go against the rules or anything for the contest >.o;

contest is closed. bdm has till the 5th to have hers in as we talked earlier. staff will start voting the 5th

Ahh, done, done, done!
That picture was frustrating. Ohh, and I got it in one day early/3 days late. x3
Here's my submission. It's kind of crappy since I just gave up on coloring at the end, but oh well.
~My Submission
Ohh, and she's a bunny for Spring! Hardy har har! *shot*

Whoa... my gosh, my vote is set if this contest is still on

ok contest is over as of now then...staff will vote in staff room and i will say the winner in a few days

Dash_ZERO wins by a single vote for best quality, and by two on most representative of spring. The award will come to you in a bit.

second place for the quality was Blues Drive Monster

second for the most representative of spring was a tie between Blues Drive Monster and zeero

as stated dash will get a banner of his choice and zeero and bdm will get a smaller one of their choice.

dash gets his own group as well along with one privalige of his choosing...within reason.

Weee! I get a banner! Thank you, everyone who voted for me!^^

Okay... let's see... I want the background to be somethin like the Naruto one in my sig... but not that color. And then I want these characters in it: And make some cool lookin' text that says: Sensei and Student.

...Is that enough info on the banner? ^^

EDIT: On the first char... just give him one tail... That's an old pic.

small banners will be 350*125

large one will be whatever the winner wants :P

I didn't think I would win anything, so this is neat! ><

Ohh, I have an idea for my banner! =D
May I have a banner with these two pictures on it:

And on the banner could it say: Mumble

And a big thanks to those of you who voted for me! <3

Well My siggy does need something^^; But I don't know what I want in the banner.. errr.. Dash The Fox banner? I don't care what size xD

uhh I've been asked to do the banners but I really am sort of clueless as to what they're supposed to look like, sorry I'm a tad dim when it comes to what's going on sometimes xD

We know and we are all patient too =P Take as much time as you need I don't mind ^^
