Samanayrs are tiny equines which come in a brilliant rainbow of colors, and with dozens of different traits and species. Each Samanayr is hand-drawn and -colored, meaning that each one is unique! With Samanayrs, you can breed, race, collect, and more!

This thread has only one rule:

Please keep any complaining, whining, or comments that could make winners feel badly about their win out of the thread.

- "You won my dream Samanayr! I wish I had won!"
- "I don't know why I entered, I never win anything and I have terrible writing/art!"

Little Lamb Doodle

I know as it heats up and we head into the summer months that I find it hard to fall asleep (most nights). So I resort to counting sheep til I fall asleep, but sadly my imagination has been running dry and I can't picture all the cute little lambs that I need to count!

This is where you come in and help! I'm running a doodle draw and you need to doodle me up some countable lambs/sheep to help me sleep! Will you help me? Well... if not me ... how about this little beauty:



Everyone who enters a sketch/doodle/drawing will be entered into the raffle to win that little cutie above! So put on your doodle caps and let's get this party started!!

Rules:

- Art MUST be your own and made for this event only.
- Keep it clean (PG)
- Art must be of a sheep, a lamb or both! ^^
- You're piece can not stretch the thread! (500px by 500 px MAX please)
- You must sign your art piece with your username and "I am number __" Pick a lucky number for yourself! ^^ It's a raffle after all.
- 1 entry per person. (Not per account.)
- Have fun!

Doodle Draw Starts: [RGBgreen]NOW![/RGB]
Doodle Draw Ends: April 30th, 2011 @ 2:00 pm PST

Many have heard the story about the lion with the thorn in his paw, and even as a child I wondered just how that lion got the thorn stuck into his paw! I mean, what did the big ol' lion ever do that deserved such a pain in the paw!



This little Sam shares my curiosity and he wanted you to all tell him the story in your own words. Short and simple or long and exaggerated! He loves them all! So will you be the one to tell him the story the best and explain how a lion could possibly get a thorn stuck into his paw as a punishment? I thought so.

Your task, should you choose to accept it is as follows:

You are to write a tale for this little Samanayr explaining what the lion in the old story did to deserve the thorn into his paw. Was he a naughty boy who was cursed? Or maybe he tripped and landed on a prickle holly bush. Whatever your idea, tell us!

This MUST be your own work, minimum of 500 words but more is fine as well and decent spelling/grammar DO count. When you're done PM your piece to this account for the little lion boy to look over! So, have fun, be creative and we're looking forward to seeing your ideas!

Contest Starts: April 28th, 2011 @ 12:00 am PST
Contest Ends: May 1st, 2011 @ 12:00 pm PST

*cough*

[silvermoondragon]

I has a sheepie!!!


Sheep always make me think of the game Settlers of Catan and the sheep resource cards

[Orasteele]

And here we have the black sheep of the family already fast asleep. >_>

[Janalee]

Counting stuffed toy sheep works, right? Seems safer to me anyway... ^^
Hehe, and I love that just about no one calls the resource cards 'wool' in Settlers; sheep is just way more fun. XD
