People keep asking me when I'm going to come out of retirement, as if that's how retirement works. When I said I was retiring from art, that meant forever. No new pictures. No new doodles. No new stick figures. For good. I had officially moved on, and put this whole thing in the past for good.

Well fuck you for making me look silly. I am a well-known hater of looking silly.

In celebration of all your persistence, and my own inability to effectively quit this shit, I have decided to do something a little different. As some of you may have suspected, and a few of you have voiced, I have, in fact, been hording new pictures in secret. Here they are now:

Oh, you want them bigger? Well, that's where the contest comes in!

______________________________________________________________

GRAND PRIZE:

The Complete Collection, including all 7-8 alternates, PLUS one original piece of art (appropriate subject matter/complexity are up for debate - message me if you want to field an option.)

There will be one grand prize winner for best picture, and one grand prize winner for best nonpicture.


RUNNER UP:

A bunch of pictures! Absolutely everyone who submits an entry will get at least something out of the collection, and I hope to give the whole collection away to more than a few people. If this thing goes well enough, we may even have a few unofficial grand prize winners.

What Does The Collection­™ Include?

The Collection™ includes fifteen original pictures of all original characters* in glorious 1280p (1920x1080 pixels). There is a huge variety here, including both genders, some grown things, and some toony things. There are bellies and paws and claws and blushing and giggles and all that shit you just can't get enough of, much of which is drawn with the kind of care and technical skill that I rarely give my pictures. I was originally thinking of selling this collection, so much of the quality really goes above and beyond. In fact, it includes a few of my own personal favorites out of my entire 'career,' including the best Oxy picture, hands down, one character who I really want to turn into a regular, and Bing's most intense session ever. While I want to share the hell out of these, you should know that none of these pictures will ever be posted in my gallery. :3

So How Do I Enter?

Draw your way in! Yes, pick a character or two of mine (Bing/Molly/Tuna/Purt/Pulsy/Some Oxys/Whoever!) and draw the hell out of them!

Does It Have To Be A Tickling Picture?

Absolutely not! It doesn't even have to be my characters - use your own, or use mainstream characters, or all three! Of course, including my characters (and some good-old-fashioned tickling) is a great way to secure lots of prizes.

But I Can't Draw!

You don't have to draw to be creative. Just do something... creative! Surprise me! I'll give pictures out for all sorts of stuff! Yes, stories count, but you can be more CREATIVE THAN THAT. And just for fun: the first entry in a medium that hasn't been submitted yet will get a bonus picture!

Protip: Just about anything can be an entry. Use your imagination!

Edit: Yes, stories and photos count.

Can I enter more than once?

Please do! Entries are cumulative, so I'll count them together towards the grand prizes.

Can I Pick Which Picture I Get?

Depends on how cool your entry is. :3

Who's the Judge?

Yo Momma!***


What can I do with my prizes?

As long as you don't repost them*****, anywhere, you can do what you want with them. :3

Now Here's Where It Gets Really Really Interesting!!!

Okay, I've been kicking around the idea of doing something really different, for me at least. If I somehow get legitimate picture entries** from 25 different people by June 22nd, I'll start posting M-rated pictures on FA. I've already drawn the first few, and the limited audience's reaction has been really, really positive. I have two Bing pictures and two Molly pictures ready to go, and more should follow shortly if the first few go over well, and if enough people enter to make this a reality. So tell your friends, tell your enemies, and rent a billboard if you must.****

When you're ready to enter, post it right here, send me a note, or send it to my email (rrbigbang@gmail.com), if you don't want anyone to see it. I'll be cool and keep whatever you send in secrecy under wraps. I'll also start sending out pictures as soon as I get entries, and then send you even more when you win! Naturally, things may get a little hectic, so bare with me if you don't get your prizes right off the bat. Of course, if I fuck up, I might have to send you another prize as an apology.

Good luck to all of you, and remember: the only way to lose is not to play!
