Contest Info

Alrighty, I’m holding a contest for all pokémon drawing artists out there! The theme will be a double battle, two pokémon vs. two pokémon, or more specifically, Amber and I vs. you and another character of your choices as pokémon. How will you fair organizing such a picture, actually, I’m just curious what everyone will come up, there’s so much that can be done! Ok, rules now!

Rules / Requirements

Deadline: deadline will be a week and a half after this journal is posted, so the 25th of July. If people are late with entries, a poll will decide any possible extensions (this is mostly so I can have time to make the prizes before school starts again).

All characters must be pokémon! It’s a pokémon battle after all.

For Amber and I, we have a specific selection of pokémon that you can choose from. However, I do ask if you draw one of us as Plusle/Minun, that the other also be Plusle/Minun, other wise can choose from any pokémon we have drawn ourselves!

Logan: My pokémon to choose from are Here

Amber: Hers are in her account, but her special reference will be posted within the day.

For you, you must draw yourself as a pokémon and one other as your team mate. The other person can be a friend you’d like to include or another character of yours. So long as they are pokémon, then you’re, fine, that’s the point! If you’re alternately colored, that’s fine too since so are my pokesonas, but please no made up pokémon or added limbs, etc.

Violence level: Since it’s a pokémon battle, obviously there is going to be violence, I mean come on, your throwing lightning and fire at each other or whatever attacks. If it has to be matured by DA, then it’s too violent. Keep it to about what is allowed on the anime itself. Blood I don’t mind much if you want it, since animals do bleed and pokémon should too, but please no limbs, appendages, whatever severed off.

Important: All contest entries must be drawn by you! Digital or traditional is fine. No edited sprites or edited line art from anyone else (that also means no templates).

Helpful tip: Just because Amber and I are holding the contest does not mean you have to draw us winning the battle, it won’t effect you in the contest. I do want whatever done to be tasteful, and more specifically, to be in the middle of the match or start of a match to show attacks being done. Example would be one partner shooting off a move and the other defending one from the opposing team. Just, think of a double pokémon battle and how it’d play out, so you can get an idea of what you want to draw.

Whatever pokémon you choose of us, since you will be drawing attacks, each pokémon is limited to the possible moves learned (so that means my Pikachu form can use Volt Tackle, Thunder, etc. and Amber’s Eevee can use Last Resort, Tackle, etc., or better yet your pokémon whatever moves that are learnable). It’s really up to you; it’s going to be cool to see what gets made.


Judging



Amber and I will be the main judges for any final decisions, but I will post polls of the participants to be voted for. So, there will be a point system, points for votes, points of vote-comments in those polls, and the votes she and I make.

Now, of course, can’t forget prizes:

Prizes

Prizes will be the following:

A fully detailed picture with a max of four characters in it (since four pokémon are in the entries) and a background of course. This can prize can be picked twice, the second time with half the characters in it.

A single paged comic strip made with characters of your choice in mind (slightly less detailed than the picture since it’s a comic, but it will be longer because it’s a comic).

A written story request: given characters you want written about, I’ll take a wack at writing a small story for you given you tell me what you want written. It will be about as long as the average Part chapter.

A flash dress-up for a character of your choice: Yes, I can make them

Prizes are decided a bit differently on purpose. Only one can be chosen of each (except the first) by the three winners, but they get to pick in the order of their contest place.

Again, I’m making the deadline the 25th of July. Just link your entry in the journal here and I’ll put your name up in the journal. As long as you get it to me while it’s the 25th, Texas time, then it’ll of course be accepted. Polls will follow immediately after, open for 24 hours, etc. till they are chosen.
