Contest Deadline Update


Okay, since quite a few people wanted an extension, I am extenting the contest one time, and one time only, so make sure you work on the entries please... ;)

The new deadline is April 2nd.
Why not April 1st? You figure it out... ;p


Original Character Tag


Stolen from ~JenL (Btw, check out her gallery! It rocks!), this tag is about selecting your original character and writing 10 facts about that character.
As a shock, I'm selecting Okura. ;p


1: Okura and Tiare were born off the Western US coast. After being exiled, he began traveling through the Pacific.
2: Transient pods in my universe names their children after words in the 'Ancient Song'. Okura's name literally translates as 'blessing'.
3: The bull has developed a taste for seal, squid and salmon as his three favourite foods to hunt. He won't say no to other foods however.
4: Okura and his cousin Utonu were good, close friends when they were younger.
5: Though Okura didn't remain with the pod long enough for he to reach his full size, he was believed to be becoming one of the largest bulls the pod had. This is partly because his mother Keeki was one of the more stocky females and his father was a larger bull as well.
6: Keeki spoilt her son a lot when he was younger. This is part of the reason Okura remained so attached to her during their time together.
7: Okura dislikes humans with a passion, however he has been shown briefly that they can be decent creatures. He just has issues with trusting them.
8: The biggest problem Okura has is his temper. When he loses it or is annoyed, he will not think clearly and lash out at anyone. This is a stark contrast to his mother, who was meek and humble.
9: Okura is a pretty skilled and effective hunter. He was aiming to become a Huntmaster in his pod before he was exiled. However, he did have one major flaw in that in hunting he often went straight for the kill, rather than thinking out his attacks.
10. For the record, Venus was not Okura's first female... So chances are, he may have some offspring out there, but we're never gonna meet them even if there are.


And I tag the following:

Art Contest


The competition is simple and open to anyone who wants to enter.
All you need to do, is select a scene, any scene of your choice, from my comic, Rings of Time, and create a picture based on that scene yourself. It can be any scene that occurs during the course of the comic, as long as the scene does happen.
You can use any media you want; digital, hand-drawn, whatever.


Prizes

First Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $50US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Colour Request of up to Three Characters with background

Second Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $30US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Colour Request of a Character with background

Third Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $25US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Black and White Request of a Character with background

Three Runner Up Prizes
:bulletgreen: Single Character sketches




Rules


:bulletblue: Your own original work please. No using other people's art or taking panels from the comic.
:bulletblue: Backgrounds are optional, but remember that you are trying to capture that scene in the comic. A good use for a picture of just characters and no background would be something that's heavily based on the characters (IE: Fleeing the Meg could work without a BG).
:bulletblue: Must be a scene from the comic please. You can design the scene anyway you like, but nothing like Tiare sinking the Titanic or such please.
:bulletblue: If you wish to use a character that is not one of my own (Black Leviathan, Cariu, Puck, Kameira, etc...), please contact the artist whom owns the character for permission. Links to their dA pages are on the pages the characters appear on. It's only fair, as you are going to draw their characters.


The Character Reference List is below and will be updated as I get more done.

I'm really wanting to enter this, and I should have the time and space to once we get into our new apartment in March. Besides, drawing orcas would be a nice change of pace from all the dragons I've been doing. XD
