Update to Free Art Contest!! More chances to win! Pls read
14 years ago
General
Ok, after talking it over with Arty, I've decided to extend the contest detailed here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2764231/
Here's the new deal. I'm currently almost 7 weeks pregnant. I'd like to offer this contest with a new weekly winner until the baby arrives. That means that there may be up to 35 chances to win (although with me being high-risk, chances are I will probably go early again so it may end up being somewhere like 29 or 30.)
This way, not only do you guys get more than one shot for your character to be randomly selected (Arty has a little program he uses, and he'll broadcast the screen on our stream so it's done fairly), but I get a chance to draw something cute and cool once each week. :)
If you haven't already done so, you can submit an entry on this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2764231/ . All I need is your character's description. That's it! The plugging and visiting the livestream are nice, like I said, but not required to win. :)
AND NOW ONTO THE QUESTIONS:
1. Hey Vinci! How can I trust you to get all this free artwork done??
I'll be doing one per week, Thursday nights on livestream. I've kept up a comfortable pace of doing two commissions per week and I don't think I will burn out with these. They are small, 5x7 single character pictures with no background, mind you.
2. Uhh, if you're high-risk, should you be doing this? What if you need to go to the hospital?
Yes, there is the possibility I may be in and out of the hospital. If this happens, I'll either warn you, or ask
rdewalt to let you know. If it's anything like last time, they'll just be overnight trips, but if I do end up being on hospital bedrest, we'll figure things out from there.
If complications end up to the point where I need to end the contest before the baby arrives, I will let you know, but I am going to keep a positive outlook and assume it'll be an extremely boring pregnancy. :)
3. Uhm, I've won contests before from other folks and never got my free art. How can I trust YOU?
If you're worried, that's understandable! I'm not offended. But I'd like to think my normal turnover time for commissions has been fairly quick, and I plan on treating these no different, even if they are free pictures. I won't start a new picture until the prior one is complete, and I will be working on these via livestream so you can view the progress of your piece live if you wish. :)
4. Why u do this? It's kind of a big undertaking and you're not making money from it.
That's fine. I don't suppose it's much different from, say, an Iron Artist competition. Plus, I've been having a LOT of fun doing these small pukeycute pictures, they're keeping me in practice, and hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some new friends in the process. :)
5. Can I enter more than one character?
One entry per person, please. It wouldn't be fair if someone won, say, three pictures and someone else missed out.
6. How about my friend's character?
ooogh, this is a toughie. I hate to have to say no, but I've had trouble in the past with people trying to get me to draw other peoples' characters without permission. I don't wanna risk it, so if you think your friend would be interested, please have them submit an entry themselves. :)
7. Hi my character is a geoduck.
I will cute the everliving F*CK out of it.
8. My character is Lion-O.
I don't usually draw copyrighted characters on request but since I'm not profiting off these, sure, why not.
9. Don't you go to cons, or something? Are you going to pick a winner during the weeks you're on vacation?
I'm only planning on two cons, Further Confusion in January, and Gallifrey One in February. Of the two, the only one I can anticipate not being able to get any artwork done is during the week of Gallifrey. What I'll try to do is pick two winners either the week before or the week after and double up on the Livestream during that time to catch up. Does that sound good?
10. You popped! Do I still have a chance at free art?
Sorry, the contest ends once Kamelion makes its debut! Things may be too crazy with a newborn and a toddler for me to get work done during the first few months so I'll probably be putting a hold on commissions too.
11. ...You're naming the baby 'Kamelion'?? Are you STUPID?
It's the kid's online nickname, don't worry. I don't use my kids' real names online because I'm paranoid, so I give them derpy nicknames likes Valentine and Kamelion to keep them safe until they're old enough to troll the internet themselves.
12. tl;dr you rambly fuck just show me where can I enter

Can we repeat our entries for each contest if we don't get in the first time (this falls under the saying, "if at first you don't succeed, try try again")
And hey, congratulations!
