This Raffle is closed. Congratulations to electriceidolon! We hope you enjoy your new design! For those who didn't win, please don't give up heart and hope. We'll be trying to do more events and raffles as the year goes by. :)

_____

It's been a while since we did a raffle, and with it being a busy month in IRL-Land, we figured it would be a good time to do a good old fashion Draw-To-Adopt raffle.

HOWEVER! For those familiar with DTA raffles, we here in Gem-Exchange do them a little differently. Most DTA's tend to be "draw this particular character for a chance to win" but for this event, all we're asking for you to do is draw a stardragon in the month of May. This is because we mostly want to encourage people to draw or get art of their own stardragons cause we love seeing it.

It can be your own stardragons.
It can be a friends stardragon.
It can be a commission of a stardragon.
All stardragon art is valid.

Dem Rules and Nitty Gritty Details!
This contest/event lasts from the start of May to the end. (May 1-31)

How to enter:
1: Draw a picture of a stardragon (any stardragon. yours! A friends! A commission of one!)
2: Submit it in your gallery
3: Down below there will be a section dedicated to entries. Simply reply to that thread with a link to the picture. Please remember to do this part because if you just submit the image without posting about it in the comment section, it will not be counted as an entry for the raffle.

For this event, it is one entry per person. Meaning even if you draw 5 stardragons, only one of them count for the sake of the raffle. (Though we would love to see folks draw 5 stardragons.)


But guys, I'm not an artist. I commission folks. :C
Not a problem! For the sake of this event, if you are a commissioner, you are welcome to submit stardragon art you commission to have drawn for you in this month as an entree. Just keep in mind that the artist who did the commission is -ALSO- able to enter using the same picture. So in a sense its a two for one entry.
In the event you commissioned the picture, follow the same steps as above or simply link to the artists' submission if you don't want to upload it yourself or the Artist prefers folks do not repost their work. As long as the artist's submission says it was a pic done for you, you're good to go! And when you comment below, simply add (commissioned: buyer) to your entry
In the event you were commissioned to draw the picture, follow the same steps as above but simply add (commissioned: artist) to your entry
(As an aside, in the unfortunate event you do commission someone to draw your stardragons but they take too long and are going to miss the deadline, contact us and as long as we can confirm you did in fact hire someone we will count it as one of your entries. Because the last thing we want to do is have someone buy an art to try to enter but end up missing out because the person they hired was unable to complete on time.)

I don't have any stardragons. :c
In the event you don't have any stardragons or know anyone who has a stardragon you want to draw, you are welcome to draw a picture of the fellow up above for your entry.

Ok so I just bought this one design and it came with a bunch of extra art that I am uploading in the month of May, can that extra art count as entrees?
For this event, no. If you get a design and it has a half a dozen extra pictures with it, those extra pictures cannot be used for entering the raffle. This event is mainly being done to try to promote the creation of new art.

Ok so I bought a commission in February and the artist just finished it in May, can I count that as an entree?
For this event, yes.

I am an artist and would love to get stardragon commissions for this
Down below there will be a section just for you to promote your sales and offers! Feel free to comment in that thread with a link to some samples and your price sheets.

I am an artist but my friend is not and I'd rather they win in my place. Can I enter on their behalf?
If you enter and win the design, you are more than free to gift the design to your friend.

I am not an artist...and I am sad. :c
Fear not, there will be other events in the upcoming year including ones for writers and another couple of freebie-for-alls!

I am an artist and I would love to promote myself/my commissions for this event!
We will have a section just below in the comments where artists can promo their commissions if you are hankering to draw some stardragons.

At the end of the month, the names will be gathered up and put into an RNG machine.
Winner of the design agrees to the ToS of Stardragons as if they had purchased this design.

Thank you for reading and good luck everyone!
