FOR REAL!? I WISH I WAS IN THIS CONTEST

**UPDATE** READ!!

There will now be a RAFFLE to go along with the contest! All you have to do to be put into the Raffle pool is to make a Journal linking to this contest asking others to join in! (then note or message me with the link) This is seperate from the contest itself, so you are eligible even if you were already planning to/already entered! This helps everyone because once again, the more people that enter, the bigger the prize pool!

Winner of the Raffle will win their choice of a 3-month Premium membership/points equivalent or Inked Commission from myself!

On the end date of the contest I will announce the winner of the Raffle! (everyone will be listed and the winner chosen via RNG)


***************

_{The Poll was just a bit of fun poking, I probably was going to do this anyway!}

That's right! ART CONTEST! in order to celebrate the start date of Viva/Muerte. I'm pretty excited about starting it, And I KNOW all of you are tired of just seeing coming soons! But I figured this would be a great way to incite interest and also give back a little to all you lovlies! The characters and character relationships are the main focus of this story, so what better way then to throw a contest about them?

Short Quip about VIVA/MUERTE
"A revolution breaks out in a war-torn and oppressed society, the story follows the choices and point-of-view of individuals on both sides in what is very much, a fight for their lives"

further concepts if needed can be seen here andrewmartind.deviantart.com/g…

Rules/How to Enter
All you have to do to enter, is to create an art piece that captures your favorite character(s) from the 8 showcased so far!
-It can have (and is encouraged) multiple characters if you wish (but this will not increase your chances)
-It can be any medium you'd like
-It can be in any style you wish (ARTISTIC FREEDOM YO)
-After completing it (and uploading it, either to DA or photobucket etc.) Just send me a note with the link!
(it will be showcased with all the other entries after the due date, so if you don't want that, let me know!)
-Stretch goals will be added if we get a lot of participants!

The Characters







In case you had missed it, these are the "main" characters of Viva/Muerte (of course there will be more, but this is what I decided to share beforehand)
I also have just updated the sheets with preliminary info for them
None of the background information is a spoiler for the story, and none of it is mandatory to understand it (much of it will be touched on or explained anyway), it's just a little extra reading for those interested!


DUE DATE

The due date for contest entries is none other than May 31st 2014 The date pages start getting posted! It's possible if we get a lot of requests/entries that I may extend the date by 1 week only!!

Judging
-Obviously I want to see the best you guys can offer, so quality/technique is a part of it, but also
-Vision
-Impact
-Radicalness (actual word)

I don't want to do this all by myself, so I'm going to have some extra judges (Will update once finalized)

And now for the part I'm sure a lot of you are interested in...

Participation
I want to make sure everyone feels like they contributed, so not only will every art piece be featured, but I have about 500 or so points I don't know what to do with, I'll divvy it up to all the participants as equally as possible (in case you use that sort of thing!)
