It's time it's time !

Here we are ! Now it's time to open this drawing contest !

Let's talk about the theme first, this way you'll know quickly if you're still enterested by entering it or not. ;)
After counting all your votes, it appears that the theme 1 won ! (By 18 votes vs 14.)

So, here is the subject of the contest :

* ShootingStar (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10605201/) deserves to find his special somepony. Will you be the lucky mare ?
Draw the OC mare of your choice (as long as she is yours) with ShootingStar on a date and explain to us in a few sentences why you think that she would be the perfect mare for him. No stallions, ShootingStar is a straight stallion. ;)
Or,
* Mi'toko (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10389656/), who is still sadly a single lady, wants to go ahead and tries to accept that she has the right to wish for a future with a new mate even if she lost her first love in a tragic battle. Will you be the one to help her ?
(More informations about her here : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8789473/ )
Draw the male anthro/furry OC of your choice (as long as he is yours) with Mi'toko on a date and explain to us in a few sentences why you think that he would be the perfect mate for her. Yup, no female Ocs for this date, she's a straight lady. ;)

About the drawings, they can be digital or traditionnal works. But if you chose digital, they must be at least linearted and flat colors. In traditionnal works try to add some colors on it please. ;)
Backgrounds, shading and everything else are up to you, the time you can spend on the drawing and your imagination !
The scene can be funny, touching, sad, cute, sensual, as you want, but, please, no rude, porn, gore or immoral things on your drawings... But sensuality and eroticism are allowed.
Only don't forget to respect ShootingStar and Mi'toko's personalities. If you need more informations about them don't hesistate to ask. ;)

The prizes are :

- 1st prize : 70$ of commission(s) from the artist(s) of your choice from the list of artists below. And a little drawing of max two characters from me. And ! ShootingStar or Mi'toko's heart. Your OC will become the official mate of mine. And you'll own the right to decide how their story will go/turn with me (and to ask me if you want us to commission arts of them together). ;)
- 2nd prize : 50$ of commission(s) from the artist(s) of your choice from the list of artists below.
- 3rd prize : 30$ of commission(s) from the artist(s) of your choice from the list of artists below.
- + : a point raffle (about 4000 point max that we'll divide) that will be offered by a very nice guy on DA. So, if you're a DA member, don't hesitate to give me your DA username, this way, you'll be able to join the raffle. ;)

One important thing : Keep in mind that the drawing you'll commission as a prize to an artist if you win will be paid by me, but the artists will take it as a normal commission. So you'll have to be patient if maybe they need some time to do it. Thank you for your understanding about this.

The list of artists the winners would be able to commission :

- A_Blue_Deer  abluedeer. You can see his gallery here : http://www.furaffinity.net/user/abluedeer .

Then, let's fix the deadline !

You'll have two months to submit an entry so until the 2nd of August at midnight (central time on the USA).

The jury will consist of three persons who will decide who are the winners. This way, it'll be better and there will be several notices which will confront rather than only mine. We won't judge your drawing only on the quality of your work but on what it'll inspire us. If it touches us, makes us laugh, want to cry, to smile, etc. It won't be fun if the best artist could only be the more professional or experimented on his work ! So, it's not because X draw better than you that you'll get less chances to win than him. ;)

Finally, I wish you all a lot of fun in this contest and want to thank you to participate in it !

Thank you to you all ! <3
