El Contest! Updated! (14 Entries) - Over and done.

UPDATE!:

PRIZE CHANGE!
It would appear I have 50 Gmail invites now, instead of 3. Which is silly.
They're also figuratively worth nothing any more. Assuming they were worth all that much to begin with.

So: Everybody and anybody who enters can claim a Gmail invite if they want it. First place remains an EN cameo or an EN-style CGed drawing, and second and third get sketches.

We're just underone week off the deadline too, so those of you who've started don't have too long to finish, and anybody still interested and unstarted has even less.

---

I have decided, for no particularly good reason whatsoever, to do a little contest.
'cause, yaknow, contests are kinda cool. And East ran one before, so teh woo.
Of course, mine shall be a little differant.

The Contest

OMEGA

If you're here, then you've seen the characters. Now you can draw them, for fun and prizes. Well, some of them. The people, I mean, not the prizes. The ones I'm about to link referances for.
Possibly an odd choice, considering that most of my watch-base is likely EN or Sonic related, but eh, whatever. That's not what I'm looking for here.

Anyways, the characters. Plus referance links.
You have no godly idea how long it took to put this together. O_O

Oh, I'll be trying to add better referances (including colour referances) for all the people who don't yet have them.

Any character can be drawn in either;
a) Their 'usual' attire (In most cases, what they're wearing in the referances);
b) Generic Omega armour (shown in male here and in slightly atypical female here (armour has shoulder pads and vambraces on both arms for all, except Rei here and Schala)

And on a clothing point, note that all characters have a wristband that allows them to change clothes instantly (hurrah metaspace storage). In fact, you could possibly make up any clothing that matched the character if you have one of them on 'em, but I'm picky about what fits, characteristically. ^^

The Rules

1. Nothing of an adult nature.
Blood is fine, excessive gore and organs spilling everywhere is not. Even if they can recover from it. No nudity whatsoever.
As if that wasn't obvious.
2.  One prize per person. You can enter as many drawings as you'd like (in fact, I'd like you to. ) and it'll increase your chances of winning something, but you only get one prize.
3. No sprites. Sorry, not looking for sprites - besides, I'd want to regulate their use, and that's hard if I didn't make them.
4. There is no rule 4.
5. No refunds.
6. There is no limit on the number of people you put in the pic. Or the particulars of the style. Not that I expect a full-blown pic with them all in.

I might add more if I find them nessecery. c.c

The Prizes
Anybody who enters can claim a Gmail invite.
First place may also claim either a) An EN-style CGed drawing by me, or b) A cameo in EN itself. Note that the cameo is -not- a speaking part, you'll have to be happy with just being scenic. Or claiming the drawing instead.
EN cameo's will need to be Sonic-style characters (as in, not humans), but not Echidna's. (so it's clear). Anybody unable to fill those will have to settle for a seperate drawing

The Deadline
All entries must be in by the 1st of March, 12pm GMT. The winner shall be declared before the 2nd. To qualify for the EN cameo, I'll need confirmation of who, plus a referance, by the 3rd.


And that's that. Note me with links to your submissions (Or if you're random enough to be entering without being on Devart already, e-mail me at silversword(at)btinternet.com ), and I shall list them here. (Except possibly those e-mailed seperately, depending if I can be arsed to find filespace to stick them, if they're not already online.)

And lo, we have entries. I list them below, so you can keep tabs on your competition. And go "oooh" at peoples artwork.

Technically, there's another entry somebody AIMed me, but I'm too lazy to go stick it up somewhere as well.

A veritable deluge of Silv' entries, and yet so many people are still unattempted. Ah well.

It's a shame the EN cameo is so time-specific, or I'd extend the contest date.

Still, Thanks all! You make me happeh. ^^
