If it is alright to post on Gaia (PG-13 rating or below), then follow these steps:

etc...

Next, please use the appropriate form, and LINK to your entry. Please do not directly put images up. A thumbnail is alright, but not the full picture. Writing pieces can be put in the thread directly if they're not too long.

All prize amounts can be found at Lucky Devil. For my sanity, I usually go by the lower end of how much each item is worth... not the average.

There must be at least 65 entries before a single prize can be given away or the contest ending. I'm offering quite a bit here and it's sure to go up in price, so I don't want to be left hanging. sweatdrop

~*~Holiday Themed (Mini Contests)~*~

As my contest will span across not one, but two 'nearly' worldly celebrated holidays, I am going to do two mini contests. I know this means the first contest doesn't give you much time to work on it, but that's part of the deal.
I will also be limiting spaces for this, as I truly wish to get non-holiday art the most. So be sure to sign up for the spaces early!
Only one participant may fill one spot and only submit one picture for these. Users that use Multiple accounts will be blacklisted and banned from the rest of my contest, and any shops or auctions I run/are a part of now and in the future.

HALLOWEEN

OK... So there was only supposed to be one winner, but hey... I only got two entries (Something I desperately hope changes with the main contest, and soon. crying ) And they're both really well done. So... I went out of my way last night, selling off a few things and such so that I could buy a second set of Jacked Up items to give out.
Congratulations to:

Riftwing -> http://www.mousira.furtopia.org/six/Entries/Halloween/TheSixHalloween_Riftwing.jpg
What can I say? He's drawn all six characters, and they all seem to be quite close to character, with the exception of Kalsam. Kal just looks a smidgen too serious there, but that's overruled by the bahavior of the others. ^-^

And

Radjulon -> http://www.mousira.furtopia.org/six/Entries/Halloween/setrelcahalloween_radjulon.png
Hee. Setrelca's quite into her element here. Though, I don't know if Radj had read her D&D history. But here's a quick run-down for others: As my D&D character, Setrelca is a necromancer. Though, unlike other Nec's, she's more scientific... She loves to study the dead and undead. This was brought about by her being infected by a virus that is similar to the T-Virus from Resident Evil (Though, with worse effects), and her uncle returning to the family after he was dead. (As Undead)... This sparked her interest, and so she began to study the science of death. So yeah... really into her element here. wink

You're each getting a Jack 2k4 opened set, and a Grunny Shirt! ^-^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-MAS/NEW_YEARS

Yet again, very few entries made it for this contest. But, that's alright. I'm hoping that this is sorta the way to tell me that the overall contest is going to get many more entries. ^-^
Since this is a short contest, I'm going to have a short awards. >.> Sorry if that's not good enough for anyone. xp But t'is the truth.

First Place
Radjulon's Six Xmas w/Lady Gyan.
http://www.mousira.furtopia.org/six/Entries/Xmas/xmasSixNGyan_Radjulon.PNG
You have to admit, this is a very cute piece. ^-^ Even Lady Gyan thought as much. The personalities of the characters shown in this piece quite closely resemble just how each of them react to the xmas season. And also gives an insite to the complete ditzyness of Aleta. xd
Radjulon shall be recieving the entire Xmas '04 set.

Runner-Up
Mouselet's Xmas Surprise.
http://www.mousira.furtopia.org/six/Entries/Xmas/Mousira__XMAS_Contest__by_mouselet.jpg
Doesn't Kitae look so evilly-happy in that picture? And Mousira looks ticked to find him inside her gift. I wonder if perhaps Kitae stole whatever was in the gift. >.> But I just love the overall feeling of the picture. ^-^
Mouselet shall be recieving her choice of a B/W half-body or a coloured bust shot from me. ^-^V

Thanks to both for entering. Have a happy holiday everyone. ^-^

More to come and increases made as prizes are gained. ^-^

This is the extended Rules/Guidelines/FAQ of Post 2. A bit of a warning, when I do these A/FAQ's I tend to be a bit sarcastic here and there. All in good fun though.

And Adoptive Sister (RP Friend)

Click Picture for Full Profile!
Kalsam could be called the living dead as his body is trapped within a void he carries, and 'lives' as a spirit (soul). He gives himself a 'life' by merging with other people for the duration of their life. So, his age in actual living years is unknown. But overall? he is hundreds of years old.
He uses the Eight Elements alongside of his fighting skills. He can focus and see possible futures for those he knows and himself, making him a powerful and hard to defeat foe.
As a spirit, he has the ability to change at will. He likes to appear most often as a handsome half-elf with black hair that seems to suck in the light, blue eyes that seem to pierce the soul and white skin that shines all the colors of the rainbow as he moves. Because of how his appearance is (A shining body, cold eyes and non-shining hair) some take him as a fallen angel.
It is believed he has the power to destroy worlds, but doesn?t for the obvious consequences.
Kalsam lives with the shame that he feels has caused him to disgrace his families name. Unbeknownst to him, his brother feels about the same for something he did as well. Only his brother, and the one he ?disgraced? himself with knows of this secret.

And loving Lady and Wife (RP Friend)

Click Picture for Full Profile!
The (once) evil twin to Kalsam Retritro.
At the age of 26, he ran across an amulet that has a gold claw gripping a black pearl. When he picked it up and put it on, the amulet fused to his neck. Soon after, he became driven with the urge to learn more and grow more powerful.
Locking himself away in a tower made of the four physical elements (Fire, Water, Wind and Earth) he studied hard and learned much of magik.
At the age of 35, he sent an invitation to the one person on the planet who could possibly stop him. His brother.
After a ferocious battle between the two brothers where Kalsam lost his physical form in a void created by Izzak, Izzak was slain by Kalsam's sword.
Waking up a hundred years later in the tower, after the battle, Izzak found that he had found the secret to immortal life and continued his plans in secret.
About a thousand years later, the brothers ran into each other again. Izzak went into hiding then until the night he left to go to his friends new club. There, he met Lady Gyan and his life was changed forever.
When met, Izzak appears as a strong and healthy young man, roughly 20 years of age. His normal outfit is a pair of dark pants with a long red robe he leaves open. Only when he meets up with someone who pisses him off will he change into the Devil he is inside.
For nearly 2000 yrs, Izzak and Kalsam had a longstanding feud. Recent circumstances has given Izzak a new outlook on life, and the brothers have finally come to terms with each other.
Izzak lives with many dark secrets, and one that he feels made him a true disappointment to the Retritro name. No one alive but his Lady knows of this secret.

Somuria is a completely neutral person due to the weapons she uses. The Swords of Light and Darkness, that when fused together become the Chaotic Blade.
Her strength is, so far, unsurpassed and the main way she proves this is by using her One Ton sword 'Knife' against those enemies of the Earthly type. She usually only uses one hand to swing 'Knife' as the other is usually holding a bottle or some other item to eat or drink.
While she is primarily a Wood Elf, she is sometimes seen a Rodanii with Short Dark Brown Hair and Eyes. Normally, her hair is almost always braided and falls to about her knees.
The Swords of Light and Darkness appear as tattoos upon the back of her hands. The Light Sword is on her Right, and the Dark Sword on her Left.
She has a 'you bite, I bite back harder' attitude, which can get her into many fights. But she never starts them. If she cracks a smile, it's only for her best friends.
During her youth, (Elven form) Somuria lived with a band of humans for a while, until she came of age and they tried to rape her. Because of this, she has little love for pure humans, and will remain cautious of them for a long time. She will swear when upset, and her normal speech falls into the Human tongue, losing all accent. This comes as a shock to many who become accustomed to hearing her 'Old World' accent.

Setrelca was born the product of a Rodanii (Mouse/human) and a Carilion (Cat/human). She was also born a genius. Her first great achievement, accomplished at the age of six, was the cure for the common cold.
Still very young, Set hasn't got much to show for. Her only real talents are healing and thinking.
She appears as the weird crossbreed mentioned that has out of control wild hair, pointed, but large ears with tufts on the tips and a lion?s tail. Her clothing is a slightly revealing lab coat and a red garnet necklace. (Choker style, made from pure red garnet.) The main attraction for her is her eyes, which seem to miss nothing in their path, and have a slightly 'mad' look to them.
While she has a humaniod form, it's very rare that anyone sees her in it do to her 'deformities' in said form. Her eyes are stretched further out along her head and her canines are longer. Her ears are pointed, much like an elves, but she also has longer lobes. Her fingers are much longer than they should be and end in claws. Along the back of her arms and on her back is a weird scar that looks like a vine or tendrils. All of which was brought about by an experiment gone wrong.
In her humanoid form, she is vicious. Like a reverse Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde mix. If she cannot find someone to cause pain to in her humanoid form, she will inflict pain upon herself.

And her Kitty-Boi (RP Friend)

Click Picture for Full Profile!
Aleta, sometime also called Azelzena, is only around for the fun. She loves to play. Depending on her mood will be how she wishes to play that day. She?s known as a Cat Burglar, and is good enough to have your socks off without even letting you know until you get home to take off your boots.
Always wears a friendly smile, the best way to know her is to ask her to play. Just be careful, you may get more than you bargained for.
She?s a true shapeshifter who will switch between her Carilion and Human forms. This means that she runs around naked most of the time due to her clothing either falling off when she goes to Carilion form, or ripping when she goes to Human. (This is not a selective change for her. It just happens)
While she does many forms of acting, her most favored is improv. This gives her the freedom to be herself, while also following a slight plot.

Art of Aleta (Warning, Many of Aleta's Pictures are nude... You've been warned.)
Best References -> None... Unfortunately no one has drawn Aleta in a way that has made me think it really was her as of yet.

Normal Form -> Ralanko, Guardian Terra, Mrs Gambino, Ryu-Kyu (wrong colour ears and tail), Saku saku, Reitheneko, Aoshi Ryuki, Azikia, Shadow Orenda

Entries, Relations, and What I'd Like! (Important Info)

*Click Me!* All the Current Entries can be seen here!

~*~Relations~*~

~*~What I'm looking for~*~
(And Important things to remember!)

Art!
But seriously, here's a rundown, by character, of what I'd like to see if you draw them on their own.
Also, take note of the Bolded text as it tells me what I shall be looking for when I recieve pieces to ensure they're MY characters.

Mousira
I'd like to see her on a stage or performing. She's a Bardess (Think of an Entertainer... Singer if you will).
Or, a picture of her with Pengu and/or the other Penguins.
She wears a Cat's head necklace in her Anthro form and her gaian form is very specific on certain items. So be sure to check that profile!

Kalsam
Kalsam usually likes to flaunt his body and his magik. His feet should be 'smoking' no matter where they are, unless he's drawn in the Void (His primary home) or before his 'death'.
His favorate thing to do is sit on the 'waves'... Basically float, while sitting, in the air.
I'd also like to see a picture that shows his love for Ramiel, or his meeting with Ardrena.
Kal's eyes are pure blue (No Pupils!) And he wears a golden box on a chain.

Somuria
Somuria is neutral, meaning her emotions tend to be non-existant. The only emotions she should ever show is Anger or Understanding (The 'Neutral' Emotions)
Always ready for battle, she has lightning reflexes and a body flexable enough to put a cat to shame.
I'd like to see her in some action poses.
Or, if you'd like to show her more 'caring' side, you could draw a picture of her ignoring Redrick.
The backs of her hands should either be scarred or have tattoos of the swords unless she's using them.

Setrelca
Scientist... If she looks like a scientist (A 'mad' one at that) I'll be happy.
Around Set's neck is a solid Garnet choker. And her ears are more lynx-like than anything.

Aleta
Playful. Aleta can be drawn cute-playful or seductive-playful... She changes on a whim, and will be whatever she wants. Always has a smile on her face.
I also wouldn't mind seeing her with Caldaim Ishiki. (A friend's character. We've agreed to put these two together for their personalities. xd See his profile with Aleta's)
Aleta wears two bracers. One on each arm engraved with her name on the inner side.

Izzak
I'd like to see pictures of him in his youth with his brother, or with his Lady; Gyan.
In the middle of his chest is the imprint/tattoo left from the amulet he wore while possessed. Also, his eyes are pure blood red (No Pupils!)

Whitelist, Greenlist and Blacklist

Ah, the place where I shall list those whom I adore for some reason or another, those who are on my 'warning list' and those who just seriously ticked me off.

Izzak specifically asked to be the main character in this post. And after seeing his Blacklist image, I'm sure you can understand. O.o

Lets face it. This is a somewhat huge contest and advertisement really goes a long way. So I'm making it worth it to those of you nice enough to help me advertise this as much as possible. ^-^

The Advertising Contest Ends on January 18th. Prizes to be announced with the other awards.

There will be two item prizes given out for this, and a few art prizes.

~*~Propaganda~*~
propaganda
n : information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause
Source: WordNet ' 2.0, ' 2003 Princeton University

Exactly as the definition says. I will be using a points system for this and the way to collect points is varied.

The Top Prize in Propaganda is an Angelic Pendant!
Second Place will recieve a waist-up coloured picture or a B/W Full Body done by myself.
Third will recieve a coloured headshot or a B/W waist-up done by myself.
(Ask me to see samples, or see my samples in Illusion Genesis)

Sig Banner -> Each day that you have the banner in your sig, and depending on the size of the banner will gain you points. Also, make sure to post in the thread each day so I can see it's there! I don't wanna go chasing after each and every one of you to find you all.

Also, you can create up to two banners of your own for points.
Depending on how eye-catching it is, the banners can be worth 5-10points each. You can ask me how much I'll give a particular banner before submitting it for this part, but once one is submitted it's final on your scorecard.

Referals -> If someone who enters lists you as their referal you will gain 10 points. (Even if that person enters more than once, it's just the 10 points)
If I hear anyone contacting me about being bugged to put you as their referal, you will be blacklisted and taken out of the Advertising Contest.

Promotions Threads -> For a promotion thread made in the Promotions Forum or in the Chatterbox, I will give you 5 points for each person who expresses interest in your thread, or in mine refering to the promotionary thread, to join my contest.

~*~Bumping~*~
B.U.M.P. (Aka: Bring Up My Post)
n : A spam post made to bring threads to the top of a forum.
Source: My own two years of time on Gaia.

This will not be as huge part of the contest as I will not tolerate post a minute bumps! ONLY if my thread is in danger of falling off the front page may you bump. I'm hoping there will be enough interest overall to bring people in to chat all the time regardless. People who do not follow this will be Greenlisted, and if it continues; Blacklisted.

Top Prize in bumping is an entire Cat Set. (Deluxe Cat Ears, Cat Band, Cat Gloves, Cat Boots, and Cat Tail.)
Second prize will be a coloured headshot or B/W waist up done by me.

I will be keeping track of points on a paper-notepad and in MS Word. Should you wish to know your current total, Feel free to ask me.
