Mini Contest and dA Birthday Project

Journal Entry: Sat Sep 18, 2010, 11:58 PM



:bump: UPDATE: Last day to enter my Mini Contest!! :bump:
September 19, 2010

Tomorrow I'll start reading all entries carefully through and try to decide winner (or winners) as soon as possible. It will take few days tho.


:bump: UPDATE: Contest reminder! :bump:
September 1, 2010

There is still plenty of time to enter my mini contest! So if you have a little story or a sentence you'd like see as a picture drop a comment here! Read more below!


Mini Contest

I decided to have a Mini Contest! All you have to do is to write a scene! And what winner gets? I'll draw this scene she/he described. I'll pick the winner and if there are several really interesting entries I may pick more than one.

The winner is based on my personal opinion and it can be the most interesting, fascinating or beautiful entry or then it just tickles my imagination.

Deadline is 19th of September so you have four full weeks to figure out what to write. Don't take this too serious, everyone can enter! Your English doesn't have to be perfect – mine isn't either. The idea behind the scene is the most important part, not spelling or grammar.


THE RULES:

:bulletred: Comment this journal to enter. Do not send me notes with your entry.
:bulletorange: The scene you write can be anything from few words to several sentences.
:bulletyellow: Keep your description short. Remember that I have to be able to draw one picture from it – not the whole series!
:bulletorange: You can use your own character but you must give me a link to a picture of your character. So if you're using your own character you don't have to describe its appearance (unless you want to), link is enough.
:bulletred: You can enter as many times as you want but every entry must be in their own comment. Do not add many scenes in one comment!


ENTRY EXAMPLES:

First example: Abigail (link to character's ref sheet/picture) watched how thick fog was rising from the lake. Everything was quiet; all she heard was fireflies' wings flapping while they were dancing around her. She didn't notice big, dark creature that was approaching land from the lake, using fog as his disguise.

Second example: Young, white gryphon looked down to cliff. His purple stripes were glowing slightly in moonlight. His friends had already jumped – now it was his turn to take a leap and try his wings!


Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
Remember, you don't have to draw anything to enter this contest, just write!

Ok got one. Reference image - [link]

The sound of birds filled the morning air as the young dragoness awoke. Evera slowly crawled out from under her mother's wing and stood up. He scales glittered as the morning dew hung on them, at least until she shook herself off. Looking up at her giant slumbering mother and father Evera was about to jump on them when something else caught her eye.

Quickly looking to her right she spotted a mountain squirrel. Instantly the infant's attention was distracted and she began to try to stalk the squirrel. Lacking stealth the squirrel spotted her coming and dashes into the nearby foliage. Evera jumped through the bushes, and tumbled down a small embankment. With a loud splash she landed in a small pool of water.

Sitting up she looked a little shocked. She was once again distracted though at the site of frogs. And thus she started spending her morning frog hunting, at least until her parents found her.

Ok i got two. Both with my and my friend OCs.


Arina lay on the ground as Kuis sit by Arina and stoke her neck. She smile and true to look at him. There love was not like any other. He was a alien from a other world and she was a unicron from a other world. The night sky had no clouds and Arina watch as glowing magic butterfly's fly around her and Kuis.

Alright, I'm done with my entry. If you somehow feel that this isn't just one scene then please tell me, I can tell you more about it or make it a little shorter.

If it's too long, then sorry. I just picked a scene from one of my stories ;)

Here you go:

She knew she was there when she could hear the rushing water of a small brook, which had the cleanest and freshest water in the whole forest. She also knew she would be there when she instead of dirty grounds and tree branches were met by silky greeen grass against her naked feet. She knew she would be there when she saw the light of the glade, the sun that peeped through the trees that created shadows and darkness, and lit up the morningmist that had risen from the wet ground.

Behind her was darkness after all the thin trees that almost completely had taken over by jungle plants that coiled over the ground and up the tree trunk, out of the crown and hung down in large clusters that easily got stuck in your hair when you walked on the narrow path below. The creepers were always as intense and eager to get stuck at her and she always had to brush of her clothes to get rid of them. It was no different this time; her thin silk dress was filled with green and brown creepers. Her goldenbrown hair, which reached down to her waist, was also filled with creepers everywhere.

The glade she now had in front of her was surrounded with the dense forest, filled with the same vegetation of vines and rosebushes that ripped and tored you if you crossed their path. Foruntately, she did not have to cross the forest again for a long time, for now, she had arrived to the place her friend awaited her. She could feel the green grass to her feet, hear the rushing stream, she could see the bright stripes of sun through the trees. The sight she had before her was so beautiful that she wanted to stay there forever. However, what completely made her loose her breath was her friend who stood in the middle of the glade, in purest white. Her friend was facing her, and the brightest blue eyes that ever had crossed the living earth, looked straight at her.

She looked majestic where she stood in the middle or the morning haze. Her white body shone as if it was made of the purest silk, her mane reached down to the shoulder and had no creepers in it, even her tail that reached all the way down to the ground was of purest white. The whole sight of her friend standing so close to her made her much anticipation and delight. The most amazing in the whole scene, was that thing that seemed to have grown out of her friend’s forehead. It was a horn, as long as her right arm, and the coldest of materials. She had touched it a few times, and each time she was amazed by how cool it was compared with her friend’s remaining body.

Her friend neighed lowly as a greeting, and she ran up to her.

Scarlet made her way into the forest. She looked around and spotted a cat wandering among the bushes. she silently padded up to the cat not to be heard and lunged herself forward. she bit sown into the cats neck and sucked its blood. (scarlet: Grey cat at the front and black at the back red eyes,he is a vampire)
