~NEWS~

Alright, gonna try something here. Anyone [on dA] can join this.


Start date: Oct 1st
Announcing date: Dec 20th

Information for this Raffle Contest
I'll be gathering deviant names and every two months I'll pick one or two users and give them a 12 month subscription. Also, with this contest, you can increase your chances of being picked by drawing a random image of one of my OCs, creatures, ect from my gallery. Written works and pixels can be entered, too.
Once you've gotten your subscription, you'll be off the list and must wait at least three to four months to re-enter the raffle. This may change if too many users join, cause I'm not made of money. D;
Also, I'm not gonna list anyone on here. The list will be stored on my PC, so it's all anonymous until I announce the lucky winner for the 12 month subbie.

Entering the Raffle Contest
All you gotta do is send a note titled "Raffle Contest" and state that you wish to enter. Then I'll add you to my list and you're in for the raffle. That's it.

If you're planning to do a Piece
This is optional, but if you wish to gain a subbie quicker, you can do this. Rules for this is simple:
-you can draw/write in any style you wish
-add your own characters with mine
-keep it at least PG-13, but if you're gonna do mature pieces, make sure you mark it "mature" and don't break dA's rules and terms
Just send me a note titled "Raffle Entry" and send me a link to your piece.

Entry Limits
You may enter three[3] pieces for this raffle. Entry limits will make it fair for anyone who wishes to use this option to gain a 12 month subbie. This is bound to change every raffle by either increasing or decreasing entry limits.

How I judge
I don't care if you're the best freakin artist in the world, or if you think you completely suck. I will accept any piece of work, as long as it doesn't violate dA rules or mine. Here's what I mainly look for in a piece:
1. Creativity and Uniqueness - this is a big thing for me. If you've got a creative imagination, use it. Pieces that are creative and unique will score high. You can be creative and unique without being a superstar artist. Your image can be flat colors, but if it's creative and really unique, you can outbeat a piece that's fully blasted in color, shiny, sparkly, ect.
2. Effort - take your time on a piece. There's no need to rush, cause this isn't a contest with a strict deadline. If you don't make it for the first raffle, that doesn't mean you don't have a chance to get a subbie in the next.
3. Colorful Pieces - what I mean by this is that the piece is lively and colorful. You can have a black and white image and still get good points for this section, so as long as your piece isn't confusing and/or dull.
4. Quality - I know not everyone in the world has the best scanner or camera, but try to get a good quality in. This doesn't merit a lot of points, but if I can't see the image, I can't really score it.

Prize and Donations
I'll also feature your works [if you have any] in my journal until the next raffle. If others wish to donate a prize for raffle winners, send me a note titled "Raffle Donation" and state what you wish to donate and I'll add you here. You can be in the raffle and still donate a prize. But if you manage to win, I'll feature you til the next raffle. ;D

Disqualification
It's hard to get banned from this Raffle Contest, but there are some rules I'd like to set before you decide you want to enter.
1. Don't steal someone else's work and claim you did it to up your chances in getting a subbie
2. If you decide you wanna be an ass to me or anyone else joining the raffle, I'll give you two warnings, then black list you from ever getting a subbie from me

Questions
If you've got any questions, ask on this journal or send me a note.
