Well, you seem to be our only main artist of the forum. Go for it.

Bet there's going to be plenty of "Billy, Age: 10" stick figure ones. <.<

Ah, the fan art contest. Where meticulously crafted imagery, full of graceful brush strokes and stunning likenesses are deemed inferior works of art to a 12 year old's crayon doodle, titled "What if chocosbu had bewbz lol".

I enjoy drawing, but I haven't in quite a while. I might try to whip something up though, if I get bored enough.

I can try entering something I guess. I'm not great, but it's worth a shot... I just need to get a scanner.

I love it when these events happen because you get to see a lot of sweet art, but the winning pics always leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Yet another reason to hate my broken scanner "sigh"

I gave up anything but doodling years ago, but I look forward to seeing the results from this. A couple of last year's winners are still in my wallpaper rotation, and one of them is the background for my cell phone. Goes nicely with my Gobbie phone charm :D

I've decided I'm going to enter since I can't lose anything but a lot of free time by doing so XD
I was going to draw all the main city + expansion npcs but after talking to some friends decided it would be too impersonal so I'm going to attempt to draw the majority of my linkshell celebrating the 7th anniversary.
