Winter Contest 2016

Post by SpoonyBard »

~Christmas/Winter Drawing Contest 2016~

It's been a long time, but finally, we're hosting another contest again! And since it's been so long, we want to start off with something we hadn't had in a while ;D

The deadline is 09.01.2017 23:59 (server time)


As the title says, it's about drawing! Show us one or more Virtuadopts in a christmas- or winter-themed atmosphere, be it sitting under a tree with lots of presents, strolling at a christmas fair or whatever your creativity inspires you to do :)

Contest Rules

1) Art theft is forbidden in any way. You'll get punished with a temporarily ban if we find out that you didn't draw the entry yourself.
2) The entry must contain at least one Virtuadopt/Pokemon and something related to Christmas or winter.
3) If you have been banned at any point during this contest you may not enter. No exceptions.
4) Only one entry for each user is allowed.
5) You can chose whatever medium you want to use.
  • - If your entry is hand-drawn, make sure to write your username and "VA" or "Virtuadopt" somewhere on the page. It's not allowed to digitally edit it in afterwards.
    - If your entry is digitally drawn, make some screenshots of your work in progress (minimum of two) and post them as well.

6) Entries edited after the contest deadline will be disqualified
7) We'll have two seperate topics for posting the entries and FAQs. Make sure to make proper use of them.

---

Now onto the prizes you'll be able to win:

And, who knows, the best ones may get something special ;3


Good luck everyone and have fun!

Yay, a new contest!

Drawing is not that easy for everyone, but I'm positive the ideas count, too^^

I should try to start a sketch soon...hopefully I can finish a nice picture even though I have not much free time at all until middle of January because of my work.

And...that promo looked familiar...
Indeed, I recocnized it's our Mistletoe Snover, now in shiny version which we didn't have before^^
Nice^^

Good luck to everyone!

I have a question
My family doesn't celebrate Christmas Therefore we don't have a tree
If I draw something is it ok if I don't take a picture of the drawing next to a tree/presents and will it affect the judging?
If you want something like this VV just PM me ;)

The drawing is the thing, that contains the christmas/winter-theme itself. So the interior of your home doesn't affect anything ^^
