The theme is - Samanayrs on a picnic!
Your drawing needs to include Samanayrs picnicking in some way. Good luck!


The two-hour drawing contest is also a new event. Your task? To draw something awesome related to the given theme! Your time frame? 2 hours!

On August 14, 3pm PDT the contest will start when I announce the theme that your drawing must follow. You'll have until 5pm the same day to complete and submit your work. The winners will be chosen based on quality, creativity, use of the theme, and originality :D

Here's the prizes in the prize pool!

Strawberry Creme Frappuccino!

Northern Misery with Ignis who has nothing to do with coffee!

Breeding!

First place will get first pick, second place second pick, and third place the remaining prize. In addition, all entrants will receive a random modiem :D

Rules and info!

- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- You're welcome to use any 2D media.
- If you need to scan or input your image into the computer once it's complete, you have until 5:05pm to submit your image.
- Your entry must be drawn in the 2-hour timeframe and must incorporate the contest theme.
- It must all be your own work!

I'll edit this post on the 14th when the contest opens with the theme - it'll be in big letters at the top of this post :D When you've finished your entry, please PM it to me with the subject Only 2 hours?! I'll try my best to have the winners announced later that day, but it all depends on Baby Sushi!

See you on the 14th!

Oh gods, this will be nuts... Sunday is when we have big, family-ish dinners, and we eat around 6pm (3PM PDT). Uuugh. I'm gonna have to see if I can be like "Mom? C-can we do dinner late today? D8;"
Hrm. She may still be sick by then so.. *strokes chin*

Woo! Will be a less than an hour drawing contest for me as I get home from work after 4. Hopefully I won't get pooped on by a baby barn owl and have to shower first XD

These prizes are lovely! An ignis back mane for a misery is just awesome.

Well, you're better off than I am... my family doesn't get together often (or rather, I don't get together with my family often), but yesterday I proposed I cook a crock-pot dinner for the family for Sunday.

Naturally the time we decided to eat was 6pm EST... 3pm PDT ;P

I'm afraid since I brought the idea up in the first place, there's no backing out, so I'll have to miss this one. Crossing my fingers I'll get to compete in the writing at least, since I don't have any plans for Saturday. Good luck to everyone entering either contest :)

Shoot! I just remembered there's going to be a bbq after work so I won't be home in time. Darn it all, I was really hoping to enter this since drawing is more my forte than writing. Arg... Oh well, good luck everyone else!

Well I only managed to get a sketch done but at least its something XD Two hours is not enough when it takes you that long to figure out posing.

I pretty much knew what I wanted to draw, I just, stink at drawing XD For the most part, haha. Pretty much due to lack of practice XD Haven't drawn in aaaaaaaaages!

Got an idea of what to draw...but not until late into the time. Managed to get something sketched, then actually outlined it, but ran out of time to try color. Ah well, I had fun with it. Wrath er...crashed a picnic and stabbed holes in all the food apparently...

I'm exactly the same way. now exactly what I want on paper but can't transfer it well due to lack of practice. I can get something decent sketched out if I have about six hours or so XD

|D I need to stop sleeping in. Waking up with half an hour to go = PANIC.
But I still managed to at least get a halfway-decent sketch done in that time. Even if my webcam does kill all the finer lines. *dies* But I still got something in! XD

Here's my entry of epic fail. Knew exactly what I wanted to draw right away, but with only half an hour left after returning from the fair, this was the best I could pull off. :/
