Welcome to Gaia! ::

RULES!!!

Okay, I promise, there aren't going to be many rules for this. Basically, just have fun with it! Find an awesome art program, (anything from Paint to Photoshop, to GIMP) - most computers, in my experience, will have Paint at the least, which I suppose you could still make something cool on it - and make an awesome picture. I posted some examples in the first post, so if you haven't checked 'em out yet, I suggest you do. You can do whatever you want. Start from scratch, distort a picture beyond recognition (but preferably no people, and no copy-righted pictures), go crazy with effects and brushes, do whatever! Even add text if you want! (And I strongly, STRONGLY, suggest that you add your username to it. In fact, I'm going to make that a requirement.)

The rules are these:

1. No people, unless you absolutely cannot tell at ALL who the person is.
2. No copy-righted pictures.
3. Add your username to the pic. Even make it a part of the pic if you want!
4. YOU have to make it, no one else. And trust me, if you do it yourself, you'll have more fun. smile Besides that, there's no prize, so there's no reason not to do it yourself.
5. Nothing obscene.
6. Normally here I would have something like ' if you read these rules, you will put the words loopythesnickerdoodle in your entry post ' but no one seems to remember that, so here I'm just going to take it for granted that you did because you're good people, and if you include loopythesnickerdoodle, it will be extra credit.)

When you're done with your entry, send the URL to me IN A PM. When we get FIVE entries, the contest will start.

The voting process is this.

VOTE A RANDOM NUMBER! No, just kidding. As you may have noticed in the poll above, there are ten numbers. Below this post I will put an 'Entries' post, with ten numbers there, also. As I get entries, I will Number them and quote the entry post. When the contest starts, you can look at the entries, and vote for the numbered entry that you like best. You will vote by pressing the little white dot, which will then turn black, next to the six in the poll at the top of the page.

THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: HAVE FUN!!!

Yay! I can join because it doesn't have a prize! yay! I'll post my picture then next time I'm on my normal computer! 3nodding mrgreen

Okay! I said I would make a picture to enter here! And so I finally did! Here you go!

Lalalalalalaa! ♪

Thanks to Up Beat for making the ad and suggesting it be spotlighted, and thanks to Salty for PMing me. ^^

*scampers off to add entries to entry post*

Also, in the rules it says to send the URL in a PM? Well, I'm not going to actually make it a RULE... but someone should probably send me a PM when an entry comes because otherwise I probably won't be checking up on this very much. xd

I discovered breedable/collectable pet shops, and it was pretty much all over from there. ninja *hordes 20+ pets* sweatdrop
