so.. what's the list of names for?
That is a list of every character I have ever made in my entire life, from plots of my own, to anthro's, to neopets characters, to OC's. These are the names of ALL of my characters to-date.
Ground Rules
This contest will require that you pre-register to draw specific characters. Upon registering, you will recieve a note with a brief description of the character, or a reference picture, or both. Some of them have not been fully developed, and will allow freedom of creativity with appearance, clothing, etc., while others have been developed the hell out of to the point that there may be too much to work with; other are perfectly balanced.
Now.. here's the thing: you can pick up to 3 characters to draw. Why? Because until each character is picked, this contest will not end. There will be three rounds of picking, because apparently, the slots for entries are filling up fast. Now this is where things get complicated, so pay attention to the bold phrases!
Coin Toss
:bulletblue:You may pick up to 3 characters to draw, to increase your opportunity in this contest, however, make sure you choose wisely, because if you choose a character and decide that you don't want to draw it, you do not get to replace that character with a new one.
:bulletblue:You get three strikes. Once you pick a character, you have made your first strike. If you decide you don't want to draw it, it goes back into the drawing pool for someone else to pick, and you only have two more choices remaining.
:bulletblue:However, I will allow Drafts (the only exception!) If you know what a draft is in baseball, then this one is pretty self explanatory. You may trade characters with other people, if they are willing to trade; however, Drafts can only be made within each round. So for example, you cannot Draft a character from the second round for a character from the First round. Keep an eye on this list for those up for 'Draft' (it will appear next to the name instead of 'Strike #'), then PM me about which character you would like to draft, and the name of the character you are drafting for. Same goes for those wanting to put a character up for draft. Drafts can only be made once per round.
:bulletblue:If you pick all three choices in the first round, you do not get to participate in later rounds.
:bulletblue:Each character can only be picked ONCE per round, so if a character that you wanted to draw is taken in the first round, wait for the next one to open up. You get three choices, and you are allowed to spread them out over the course of the three rounds.
:bulletblue:If you enter this contest, please advertise it in your journal. Because until each character is chosen from all three rounds, it will not end! You want it to end fast!
:bulletblue:Please title your submissions as 'Strike 1', 'Strike 2', and 'Strike 3' followed by the character's name when submitting your entries on Deviantart.
:bulletblue:At least ONE of your entries must be Baseball-themed. This contest is called 'Strike-Out!' after all ;)
Hey Blue!
When judging, I will be looking at each picture from an artist's standpoint, and critiquing three main elements: Color, Composition, and Dynamics. So, yes, it WILL take some artistic Talent to win this contest. I will probably have the public vote after the contest is over. There will be three rounds of voting. (see a pattern here?)

Prizes will be awarded to those who make it to the final round of voting and win, and they are as follows:
:bulletpurple:1st Place~ A year's subscription to Deviantart
:bulletblue:2nd Place~ a 6month subscription to Deviantart
:bulletgreen:3rd Place~ a 1 month subscription to Deviantart

So get to spreading the news of this contest to everyone. This will even be posted in the forums, so you're going to have quite a bit of competition. But I hope you guys have fun while doing it ;)

Take care! And good luck!
:heart: Sanctioned

YAY SO AM I!!! I understand...I have that problem too, but only when I'm EXTREMELY angry, and I usually try to restrain myself to Japanese. :XD:

Oooh that's the one where Hitsugaya (sp?) found the whole room of guys was dead? That was sad!!

But OMG there are SO many kawaii characters!!! I like that Hitsugaya guy, Renji, Yorouchi (she rules!) Ichigi (kinda sorta XD sometimes) Rukia (she's awesome XD) gosh and so many others...OH!! Especially Urahara XD HE'S SO STINKIN COOL!!!

well.. I don't really see a problem with it, because everywhere you go, cuss words vary by language. what's offensive in one country, isn't necissarily going to be offensive in another. but I guess its more a matter of respect and cultural background. I try to limit myself to only cussing when I lose it, but when i'm around people that I know won't care either way, it just happens -shrug-

lol, you can have all those other guys, but Toushiro (hitsugaya) and Ishida are mine :heart: specially the short, grumpy one :b lol
