Post by Sushidragon »

This contest is straightforward enough - draw a picture for the Samanayr birthday celebration :D

Rules!

- The theme is Samanayrs celebrating their 10th birthday. You can interpret this however you'd like, but please make sure your picture includes one Samanayr!
- All work must be your own - no copying, tracing, etc.
- You're welcome to use any medium.
- One entry per person!

Entries will be judged by an impartial panel of judges which will include myself :D Judging criteria will include creativity, effort, and quality!

There will be one first-place winner and three runners-up, and all winners will get to pick their prize from the prize pot :D First place will pick first, first runner-up will pick second, etc.

In addition to the prize pot, all entries will receive a random modiem!

Ehe, sadly, this didn't turn out anywhere as good as I'd hoped. But still, it's a shoe in for the participation prize! XD

Yep! :D Playdough mixed with a small amount of oil to make it more bendable. Old, old Playdough that I found half dried out in a chinese container at the bottom of my little brother's play-chest.
... Sadly, I have no idea where to get Sculpy in australia. T-T It upsets me.
I do know where to get Plastecine, however, which is pretty much just fancy-packaged playdough. I'd usually use that, but I ran out during my last little 'project'. XD

-linked for its hugeness. xD

The one with the sign is a lamanayr, the one on the tree is a aboreal and the one that is peeking from the top of the paper is a misery.

I worked really hard on this, and am pretty proud of it though there are many things I need to work on in my digital art. :D But I shaded it! *points and jumps up and down*

I finally finished my art entry. ^^ Sadly I didn't get to add my own sam in the pic, I got too caught up with the others in the pic X3

It contains Cameron's, Harroway's, Pristine's and jennalyn's sams. All decorating for the birthday with a sushi themed birthday cake! ^^

Yeaaaaahhhhh, but then my incentive to do it all kinda goes down. XD;;; Oh well! I'll try anyway. I hope I have time by the 13th. I've been redecorating my apartment and finally bought some new furniture (yay! a kitchen table finally XD) and a new desk for some computer goodness.
