I've always been fascinated by these kind of art raffles, because they are such an obvious and shallow quest for popularity, and yet, there seems to be a few of them around most of the time. So maybe they actually work? Also, shallow does not intrinsically mean bad. Rather, it means it will never give you any deeper level of emotional fulfillment, but that doesn't stop it from being fun once in a while.

So let's do a shameless experiment. My watcher count is now at 273, and the rules are as follows.

1. Anyone with an FA account is free to enter this raffle.
2. Post a journal with these six rules, linking to me. Then post a link to that journal below in the comments (so I can keep track of who's in). When these are done, I'll add your name to the list.
3. On Sunday 02.06.11, I will draw 5 names at random from the list, and they will all get one free piece of art.
4. Each drawing will feature one character of the winner's choice, though the setting, pose, attire and all the rest of the details will be up to me. You are free to suggest themes and poses, and moods for the picture, but like I said, I will make the final decision, so don't be a sourpus if I didn't draw what you suggested. Each of them will be inked and colored, and somewhat akin to this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5206618
5. I am not planning to draw adult content. You are also free to forbid any themes of your choosing.
6. No journal deleting, that's cheating.

There. It'll be fascinating to see what, if anything, comes of this.
