NOTE: Today is the last day for the contest, but you have until midnight (when it turns the 11th to 12th) pacific standard time due to that is the time zone I live in or when I wake up in the morning on the 12th. (Edit - Please discard and read Note #2)

NOTE 2: Just in case for people's information due to I have to work at my job tomorrow morning and I have a long day ahead because of some problems there - anyone who wants to do an entry has until 8 pm PST to turn one in. However, this is the last extension for this contest. After this, voting will be starting around that time - I will explain the rules for voting in another journal tomorrow. Thanks for everyone has done an entry and sharing your talents to everyone here on DA.

I figured that I will throw my hat into this arena called an art contest and to put help out some artists in need of money like this [link]

The basic theme of this contest is to involve either one or both of OC's in a situation involving someone being in distress (but not necessary in bondage - to me the difference between the two is that someone in bondage is fluids (and I don't mean drool) are being shown and more of a sexual nature). Here below are the rules and other information for this contest. If you have any questions - please feel free to send a note to me or send an e-mail to bronzepokemon AT yahoo DOT com with the title - "Art Contest". Also, you may send the entries via DA note, leaving a link in this journal or through my e-mail address with the title - "Contest Entry". Thanks to everyone has helped me in the creative process so far and for your interest in this contest. Good luck to everyone and may the bounty start....



Contest Rules – Traditional and 3-D Art
1. NO NUDITY!!!! However, you can have the damsel wearing in bra and panties only (or thong if you are comfortable on that route).
2. The picture has to include just ONE of my OC’s either Keiko or Tyche, but you can have the both of them if you wish. There is also no limit of how many people can be in the picture.
3. This has to be done by your own talents and a new piece of artwork - no traced or re-colored artwork from other people will be accepted.
4. Can be either human or furry (if you go with the furry part, Keiko is a bunny and Tyche is a bear).
5. At least one person must be tied up and the gag is optional (but who said it has to be a damsel XD)
6. Finally, you may think of the box for a picture idea, but remember not to go overboard and fry your artistic mind...
7. One note - traditional art to me is 2-D artwork done by any means like digitally with photoshop or colored by markers or in black & white for examples.
8. Multiple entries by the same artist are allowed for this contest, but one prize will be awarded per person though.
9. Pictures do not need to colored as long as they are a clean lineart like this one [link] or [link] or done in pencil such as this [link] or [link]

Rewarding of Prizes
1. All prize winners will be determined in a 2-step voting process (the popular vote by fellow DA members and a judging panel based on a point system).
2. Prizes will be given via paypal or through some method acceptable with all parties (ex. Mailing the money to prize winner or paying for DA subs or commission art for prize winner).
3. 5 prizes altogether (3 for traditional – 1st $100, 2nd $50 and 3rd $25 and 2 for 3-D – 1st $50 and 2nd $25 if a minimal amount of entries for this contest is achieved).
