ok, deadline would have been yesterday and again not enough entries - there are two options:
1) I close the contest NOW and get two winners (not per category but all entries together)
2) I stop giving deadline dates but keep it running until I have at least 4 images per category
now I prefer the second option but I understand that it's unfair to those who have entered a long time ago and it may very well happen that it will never bring this contest to an end so the question is up to those who have already given me a pic.
Please tell me in a short note, what you would like me to do.


CONTEST

Contest number 3 on its way – again about drawing my characters but this time it includes my little stock account cause frankly I feel it needs some publicity

So basically it's about the female character's of my main stories I've created over the past years, female because I only have female models who've got time to spare Big thank you to Liz and Julia, by the way

THE CHARACTERS:

visual references can be found here

Scarlet:
Scarlet is a character of a story named "FOUR" I write with !Fice - it's a bout the riders of apocalypse and Scarlet resembles war, her element (we kinda mixed it with elemental stuff) is fire. She's a beautiful women but at the same time is very well aware of that. She's a baroness, her family's got enough money to let her have an easy life and at first sight she may seem to be nothing more than one of those high society girls.
However, Scarlet's different. Very different. Since her element is fire, she's got a pretty distorted sense for temperature – when other people take of their jackets, she freezes. She also has this "talent" of being able to influence people without their knowledge, hypnotizing them in a way.
From her childhood she's been a loner, her powers make her a stranger to other kids and Scarlet had to learn how to protect herself. She's obsessed with controlling people, fears those who she can't "read" – a paranoid person, although she'd never let anybody see those fears.

Mikaela:
Again a character of "FOUR" but I'd not consider Mikaela "my" character cause mainly it's !Fice writing her parts. Mikaela is one of the apocalyptic riders, as well – death – and her element would be water. She's the complete opposite of Scarlet, a young, shy girl – you'd see her but then she'd probably disappear in the crowd and you'd already start to forget her though you will be left with a strange feeling you couldn't really tell.
Of course she has also her own special gift, and like Scarlet she often suffers from bearing it. Mikaela has got visions, strange glimpses of the future, especially of Izrail, angle of death, and when he's taking lives.
She meets with Scarlet in Vienna, more or less by accident.

Lyann:
You may already know about Lyann, protagonist of my fantasy story "Ägeria".
Lyann is an eagle woman who leaves her tribe to escape the strict rules and stiff guidelines her people have. She doesn't want to live a dull life in the mountains of the Doréi, never being able to wander around, finding out about other people in Ägeria. So she leaves, preferring to be expelled rather than being forced into an unpleasant future.
She's more girl than woman, doesn't know much about the world but is just throwing herself into life on Ägeria. Without knowing it, she gets drawn into the big fight between the gods, being the resurrection of a mighty warrior of the past.

Rahel:
Rahel is a character of my rather new story called (so far) "The last Heir", a vampire story (yah, I know: vampires – as if there wasn't enough of that kind around!).
She's the oldest of her race, over 2000 years old and a very strange person. She's got a thousand faces, she knows what you think before you know it – think of a really mighty person… give her a cute, innocent face. That's Rahel.
She decided to train a young vampire, to help him getting his revenge on another creature of their kind. Still it's not clear why she does so and what her goals might be – actually you can never be sure what she's up to.



Okay, here are the rules, just as usual:

1) PRICE: I'm just a poor student – all I can offer as price is a free commission and a journal feature (on my stock-account as well). I hope that's fine with you – after all such a contest thing should be fun There will only be one winner – but – per category. Every character is a category and if you take "Mikaela" you can choose between a pic of me or a pic of !Fice

2) DEADLINE: ??

3) ENTERING IMAGE: You can enter as many times as you like, but even if you draw 2 great pieces you can only win once (even if you enter in 2 categories)
You can also draw the girls together if you want to, for example Scarlet and Mikaela (if there are more than three group images I will give them a separate category – if not you can choose which category it should count for)

4) MEDIUM: Use whatever medium you like (traditional, digital, manips... anything, really) but it MUST include something from my stock-account
Of course you can also take one of my pics only as a background, doing the character by yoursel - just make sure you somehow include my stock
Please take a look around at
