CONTEST UPDATE: I've decided to tentatively put the cut-off for the end of August - lemme know if you'll have problems with that :) Also, some lovely new entries :)

* * * * * * * * * *

THE IDEA - Draw, photograph, photomanipulate, or write your idea of a fun holiday or vacation - winners will get a free portrait/bust painting! :D

In your submission, you can feature me, my characters, wolves, dragons, or whatever you'd like, although something involving my characters is likely to win you bonus points ;)

Upload the image, and send me a link via note or comment!


* FIRST PLACE - free 800x800 portrait/bust

* SECOND PLACE - free 500x500 portrait/bust

* THIRD PLACE - free 300x300 portrait/bust
