THEME: Draw my OCs
The contest is about drawing one of my Original Characters. You are free to choose the setting, the poses, which characters to draw and the framing. The only rule is that they need to be MY Original Characters. I have four main original characters and some minor ones, divided into the following galleries.

CONTEST RULES
- Only my original characters are allowed (NO other OCs or fan arts).
- You must be one of my wacthers to participate (but if you're not, you can do it now! ;D )
- You MUST respect the descriptions and character designs provided. Gender-bender, furry or animal versions are not allowed. Minor tweaks of the outfits are allowed though the character needs to remain recognizable.
- Please only draw one of my OCs per entry, as none of them share the same setting as the others.
- Nudity, sexual themes, violence and blood are accepted, but THEY MUST FOLLOW deviantART policy. If you don't know dA rules, please check this FAQ: FAQ #220: What is Mature Content? . Works containing strong content MUST have the Mature Content Filter ON.
- You can join with max 3 entries, but only one of the entries can be a winner.

JUDGES
The works will be judged based on:
1- accuracy (how well the art depicts the likeness of the character)2- technique (how skillfully drawn the picture is)
3- impact (referred to such things as scene, pose, storytelling)
4- effort (it's quite visible when people put effort in their artwork, and I want it rewarded properly)PRIZES
There will be one prize for each winner of a given category, and one runner up prize.
The first prize is a color portrait done by me. The runner up prize is a lineart portrait.
These will be waist-up portraits of a character of your choosing. It can be an OC or anything. Only limitation is that I don't do furry, anime or porn (but nudity is ok).
In addition, the other judges, Eeren and kate-n-art, will each reward a honorable mention of their choice with a sketch portrait.

CATEGORIES
There will be five categories, one for each of the four main OCs plus one for the secondary, other OCs. Should a category receive less than four entries, that category will be cancelled and the entry will be automatically transferred to the "other OCs" category.All the winning entries will be featured by me and my judges.
5 days after the closing of the contest, we will announce the winners and runner ups for each category, and publish them on my journal page.

Would you please like to help me buy new glasses?
Hello. I would like to give you the clear picture of my situation. Recently I've been experiencing problems with my eyesight: after a few hours of working on pencils and inks. my eyesight gets really blurry, and I need to squint in order to see what I'm doing. It's like seeing double, and it's fatiguing and annoying... This started slowly roughly a month ago, and it's gotten worse recently. So I finally managed to book and go to see an optician (not really the easiest thing during covid...) and found out that the lenses I had been prescribed last year were wrong. Too strong, making it harder for me to see things up close (working distance from the sheet/monitor, basically). So now I need to buy two separate pairs of glasses, one for close up/work, and one for longer distances (driving). The bill is quite harsh. So I would like to publicly notify you that I am selling my originals pages and covers, which you can see here in my gallery
I'm now on Instagram!
