Break up by letter, now thats harsh...

I know it isnt high in detail, but this is only the second drawing online ive done since I left a year ago... hopefully I can get the hang of drawing using a mouse pad again. Nice to see you guys again

I like your style for drawing faces; it's cool! I like the expression as well.

Better than breakup by text message! If only by a little, lol. Lovin this colored lineart. <3

Wanted a bigger canvas I hope it meets the requirements lol.

Contest Time!!! So, the theme for my contest is: "A picture paints a thousand words" or, in other words Storytelling. I want your picture to tell a story. It can be based on a story or just a feeling, but I want a finished, completed piece. Like this which is based on this fairy tale. Criteria: - Must have a background (I know my picture isn't a very good example) I want a fully-fledged background; no floating characters -No speech/speech bubbles -Ideally, the picture should not need any explaination for it to make sense. Although an explaination may add to the drawing it should be able to stand alone. -Composition must enhance the scene. Try to think out your picture before you draw. -Angle: again, try and choose and angle that will further develop the scene your trying to show. Think of yourself as a story-board artist for a new movie. You've been asked to create a picture that captures a scene in the movie; the atmosphere, emotions of the characters and setting! this was the best way I could think to describe it Prizes 1st place: Fully coloured picture of your choice 2nd place: lineart of your choice 3rd place: clean sketch of your choice All entries must be submitted before the 10th of February. Sorry for the bad picture and the kind of vague contest theme. If it's too vague I can change it, just let my know ^^...It's my first contest...ever...lol

Ah! This sounds like such a good idea I might try this one out if I can think of a good picture. <3

oh.. oh im doing this. i have just the story in mind too...

Whoop! I'm in!

This sounds awesome

Im a massive quote collector and I love that one! (>///<) This is a creative idea~

It's been a long time since Ive done a contest. Im in!

Contestosaurus say's it's over! Sorry for the long wait, I was busy with studying This contest was fun to host, and all the entries were appreciated! Since there were so few I decided to judge ALL of them, even if they were a day or two late So, on to the winners! 1st place: Kichi! The story of the contrast behind your entry was mesmerizing, it really made me reflect. And since the concept was so deep and creative, you deserve first prize! Congratz 2nd place: Origami-Lily! Your entry had so many contrasts, and it was beautifully shaded, I just couldn't stop staring at it o.o 3rd place: Midori Your entry was greatly colored, and I love her expression xD Good job on grasping the concept!!! Thankyou to EVERYONE who entered, it was a pleasure to host this contest Note me with what you want as your prizes!

o.o thanks! Congrats to everyone and the winners

Yay~ ^^ Congratulation!

:'D Yayy~ Congratulations everyone! This was such a fun contest :3

Okay, so I was gonna do a buncha other stuff like plants growing out of her arms but I couldn't be bothered >_>''' The background was gonna be all steam-punk as well...but...oh well. So, anyway, this picture was inspired by plants. Plants grow naturally but humanity is destorying vast tracks of the rainforest everyday with little care. So, the contrast in this is that the plants aren't growing from the ground but from the body instead, using the nutrients we get from food to grow. Instead of us killing them, while we are dependent on them for food and the replenishment of oxygen in the atmosphere, the plants are killing her by growing. eh he. Yeah. It looked better in my head. also contrast that I actually coloured a picture for once. OMG! lol (Edited on January 23, 2012, 3:23 pm)

I love the concept, your coloring is beautiful

"Okay, you've been randomly selected, blah blah blah, under the terms and conditions...oh whaterver, I'm your fairy sister, what's your freaking wish?!"
"Dude...I think I drank too much soda."

Slight style change. A contrast from the usual magical wish granters commonly found in magical girl series.
Sorry for submitting so late. >_<

And there's some weird error that's not letting me post the full comment in the artist's description. ._.
So this is the rest of le description.

Not entering to win, just entering because OOC is fun.

I just really wanted to draw this, that is one of my most manliest characters too.

This is adorable xDDD

I am done! This is my entry for the contest My theme for contrast is city girl in a country world, and i also used colour contrast and style contrast. ^^

I like your use of perspective and the complementary colors here :3 Her dress is so cute and the concept is really funny, too ^^

This is epic, I really like the idea xD

For Crivannia's contest :0 This took soooo long. I intended to do something totally different today but when I saw the contest post I was basically like "Oh... forget that" So... Contrast. Colored lineart is something I typically don't do. As well as that shading I added into the lineart. I like the effect it gives but I don't do it normally for some reason. Orange and Blue are complementary colors and therefore opposites on the color wheel. Usually opposites on the color wheel contrast each other well if used correctly. I usually use blue and orange to contrast anyway lol. It's my favorite complementary pair. The backgrounds use the complementary opposites of the character colors and the paisley patterns are light/dark contrast to the background colors. Whew. Goodness gracious. Tadaaa -out of breath-

Holy- WOW. I really love the contrasts, the colours are GORGEOUS, the colored lineart is VERY well done, I love the concept and composition, and this is just.... HOLY CRAP. I love you <3

:OOO this is beatiful! I can't express how much I love the texture! It's so detailed <3 Your lines are amazing too! and OMG my favourite the string thing! *o* This is amazing!

Oh my god this is absolutely beautiful...

this is my drawing for Crivannia 's contest I contrasted it from a drawing of my fairies because i sometimes draw fairies I drew a demon and made it be male cause I drew females often and my drawing are usually very bright and peacefull i made this one dark and bloody.

For Crivannia's contest I drew a very happy Fang, who is also wearing very bright colors, which is like the opposite of how I usually draw him. I also made the background dark, which contrasts with the brightness of Fang

I really like how the contrast is his emotion, and I love the pose!

It's contest time! I'm really happy to be hosting my second contest!The theme this time will be... CONTRAST! Basically, you just need to draw a picture that has some sort of contrast in it. It can be pretty much ANYTHING. It could be a colour contrast, such as light/dark or warm/cold, it could be a concept contrast such as a punk Alice in wonderland or even a Biker crying with a teddy bear! If you want to go deeper, it can even be just a contrast of what you usually draw, such as a change in style, or drawing something girly if you never do normally. In this picture I used a colour contrast between the character (warm) and the background (cold), and a style contrast! Your goal: -To come up with the most original or wacky contrast you can think of! -To try to portray it best you can! -Be creative! I really like contest themes that give alot to work with, and I think you guys do too, so here you go! xD CRITERIA: -Creativity of course! The wackier or more contrasted the better! -Aesthetics! They don't count that much for the contest, but no blank backgrounds please D: -Effort! At least try and put more than 10 minutes into your entry D: PRIZES: 1st: colored picture of your choice 2nd: lineart (to colour if you want :3) of your choice 3rd: Sketch of your choice All entries must be submitted before the 22nd of January! (Thanks to Faeriemagic for reminding me ) If you have any questions, just comment! Thanks for reading, and good luck to all! If any of you guys were wondering, Cupoftea gave me permission to start my contest, I'm not bumping >.< (Edited on January 7, 2012, 11:18 pm)
