So, after thinking lots about it haha, i'm gonna do it !, please read it all~

This is basically going to be a "Draw my characters" contest, this time you'll have freedom to choose any of my 5 characters that belong to my HEARTS series, they're Pinky, Ian, Katrina, Aliza and Ivory. I'll give you total freedom on outfit, hairstyle and media, wich means you can draw Pinky in gothic-lolita style with traditional media if you want~ ok?, but there are some things you WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE in order for me to consider it:

You can't change hair color.
You can't change eye color.
You should try to keep the character essence.

I mean, draw Pinky in gothic-lolita if you want, but dont give me a random lolita-girl with pink hair and blue eyes, get me?, i want Pinky in gothic lolita hehe, dunno! its kind of tricky ;D.

You're allowed to draw them in their normal outfits & hairstyles (or any provided on the references) if you want, I'm just giving you freedom so you feel comfortable while doint it n_n.


PLACES
Each one of my characters will have their pretty own category, wich means there're going to be 6 winners; 1 GLOBAL winner, and 1st place for each character.

JUDGEMENT
It's going to be made by =pinkx2 (me lol) and ~Eppur, we'll be considering lots of stuff but basically ORIGINALITY, IMPACT and GENERAL ATTRACTION, wich means, what i like.. well.. i like ! XD

DEADLINE
This is one of the best things of this contest (i think), you'll have almost 3 months!, the contest will end on August 29th, i WON'T extend it by any means, you have plenty of time, and winners will be announced on September 1st

PRIZES
By now, prizes are going to be as follow:
Global Winner : a 1 full-body-type(i mean, no chibi) characters drawing or a 2 chibis drawing or a Journal CSS plus one crappy pixel-icon.







Each Character Winner : a 1 full-body-type character drawing ora 2 chibis drawing plus one crappy pixel-icon.








I have 3 months to improve the prizes, i'm going to try to get sub-prizes, but i wont promise anything, ok? really, prizes might get better, only time will say, also i might consider to give pixel-icons to random contestants !

I need/want at least 30 entries (total) before august 1st in order for this contest to keep going, i wont work haard for less than 30 entries as i'll be expending literally all my september vacations on drawing the prizes xD.
