Hello all and welcome to a Coloring Contest...but with a twist !

The following Northern Aquatic mare is what is up for grabs! However...there is a problem. As you
can likely see...she has no color! With this being said I think you can figure out what needs to be
done...Yes! Your right! She needs to be colored!


Traits: Flippers, Tusks, Tines, Otter Tail, Pudgy, Velveted Fur, Round ears

Simple enough...BUT! The winner will be decided on by which colors you choose! This little lady is very
particular about what she wants to be, which is why she told me a list of 6 colors that she REALLY wants
on her...IF she gets those colors it will be up to you to decide! Whoever guesses the most or all 6 colors
will win her! (A random number will be picked as a tie-breaker if more than one person guess them
all correct )

EVEN IF YOU CANT COLOR AND SCAN YOU CAN STILL ENTER THIS CONTEST!!!! FILL
OUT THE FORM AND SUBMIT IT!!

Seems impossible to pick the right 6? Naaa! I will give you an entire list of colors to choose from that could be the
winners!

Colors to Pick from!

GREEN
BLUE
GRAY
WHITE
BLACK
YELLOW
PINK
RED
ORANGE
BROWN
PURPLE


SO! Pretty much...you need to pick the right 6 colors! BUT as a perk, you can color her in the pattern you'd like as well! You dont HAVE to color your entry (Some people don't have a scanner or colored pencils or a means to upload) but you do still have to pick the colors. If you choose not color an entry or if you are unable to, I will color her for you with the winning colors you picked and the pattern of your choice.

Rules:

1 Entry Per PERSON not account.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENTER A COLORED SAM IF YOU DON’T WANT, It is just to give you the
opportunity to have your own colored sam if able

You can only enter on the Sam forum

Post your entry to this thread before the deadline

You may change it at anytime up until the deadline

COLORED PENCIL ONLY! No other medium will be accepted. Sorry.

The pattern, locations of colors and amount of the color used are not important and will not help or hurt
your entry in terms of winning, only for your forms entry is it important.

Stay in the lines as best you can. We can touch it up if needed but would like to keep it how you did it.

Size will be adjusted by sushi to correct size so don't worry if you print it out big or medium sized.

Fill out the form and submit it before November 5th, 2012 at 1:00 pm Sam forum time (PST). Late entries will not be accepted, sorry.

All other general sushi rules apply! HAVE FUN!

Please post your entry here on this thread!

OK! Please let me know if anything doesn't make sense or if you have questions. Thank you!

Just to be sure I understand, if the winner does do their own coloring of the lineart (with colored pencils) that's what will be resized and certed? So it'd be like a guest-colorist thing?

It's an interesting looking contest!

yes!

You can color your winning prize! Just make sure to pick the right 6 colors

If anyone is unable to I will color it for them... or they could have someone else color it for them too if they desire (guest artist). ^_^; I wouldnt be offended.

But in essence... its a guest artist color contest with a twist to make it less on talent and more on chance.

Can we use a computer program to color it to show what we want the design to be, and then have the artist color it?

ARrrrgh so awesome XD I'm totally gunna fail at this, but coloring in stuff. *-* will try anyway. hehehe XD

and as a side note - it's Rikku! Weee!

LV - That would be fine! As long as the final product is colored pencil!!! Just be sure to let us know that your entry is just for visual purpose.


Also.. are there any colorists who would like to offer their services as colorists for the winner? I wont lie...Im ok at coloring but I know others who are REALLY good. ;D Let us know if your willing to offer your services...IF Youd like


Dap - HEY! -wiggles- ^.^ how are you darling? Hope your excited! Just be sure to pick the right colors, you dont HAVE to color if you dont want to Thats just the fun part of it. lol Gives you the chance to create the pattern and then color your own work... or have someone else do it. lol Either way the coloring itself is just a fun perk you guys get to have if wanted or able.

Rikku! Yay! A Rikku Contest! ^^ I remember you hinting about this!

I'm just going to post my form now- I should have time to color later, but since Dap is over and I have homework to do and a party to plan for, I cannot sadly at this time! D:

Username: Seren
Name (If you want to name her): Stature of the Sunlit Iceberg (Um...filler name? XD What's most important to me is keeping a record of the colors for now!)
Colors (6 colors only, from the list above): Black, Orange, Brown, White, Purple, Green
Pattern: Will decide once she's colored! ^^
Colored entry(If you have one): Working on it! :O

Username: SilverDapples
Name (If you want to name her): Twist of the Spirited Wave-runner
Colors (6 colors only, from the list above): Red, Blue, Yellow, Grey, Pink, Grey
Pattern: I'm not quite sure how to explain her looks... she's kind of like a torpedo, or like... wearing a wetsuit or something silly! A stripe of dark grey down her back, nose to tail tip, red outlined fins and bottom of the tail, with a pretty much blue body, and a white neck area and most of her head. (oh there's grey on the backs of her ears too). And with bright yellow eyes, obviously :D
If you couldn't see the pink - she's blushing... XD
And I had to change greys while coloring her because I lost the one I was using because it rolled under the bed and I couldn't find it (le stupid here!) Ask Seren - she'll confirm that!
Colored entry(If you have one):
*wiggles as well* I'm good and I'm super excited!! And I WILLL color it! I just don't know how well it'll turn out XD I hope you're doing well!

Edit: And now she's colored! The scanner was being a bit cruddy, so... random dark areas XD

YAY! we have two entries already! -squeals-


Good luck everyone! Just make sure to get your form in even if you dont have your entry colored (By doing that, even if you cant get around to posting your colored entry, you can still win!)

-wiggles madly-

This little lady has been DYING to be colored properly. lol She was not colored well initially. lol

<33333 Love the names btw too!

Gasp I forgot to find her a name XD Thank's for reminding me of that XD

I hope you don't mind me going with the halloween theme, but it's what I saw when I laid eyes on this girly xD;
I can't afford ink, so most likely I'll just have this form! ^w^

Form

Username: Willow
Name (If you want to name her): Roll of the Floating Pumpkin
Colors (6 colors only, from the list above): Orange, Brown, Green, Yellow, Black, Purple
Pattern: Those tines and tusks remind me of pumpkin stalks, so they would be brown. That tuft of fur? Green for the leaves of course! Her body should be orange with tints of red and yellow. She'd be striped with brown lines much like a pumpkin is sectioned. Her eyes would be a lovely halloweeny purple. On her face she would have a jagged black 'carved' smile and black rings round her eyes.
Colored entry(If you have one): None for now oAo

I know I won't have time to color her before the deadline is up, but if I win and you wanted me to, I could do it then- I think you're selling your coloring abilities a bit short though. *smiles* Thanks for hosting this Rikku, and I can't wait to see what she ends up looking like!

^_^ I will color the winning entry just as depicted in the pictures to those who are unsure of their skill. It is NO PROBLEM AT ALL So if you win Dap I will gladly make sure your sam is exactly how you intended her to be in your picture Sushi does like quality with her sams so I dont want anyone worried about a quick drawn entry. If Its not GORGOUS... ill make it so ;D <333

Like I said before.. This contest has nothing to do with your coloring ability, its mainly to make sure that you get the color combo right and you can have your idea for pattern put into light.

So dont worry! Im sure no matter who wins, the outcome will be wonderful!

Sweet! Cause I hate my picture XD

NO PROBLEM! She will be gorgeous as an end result ;D Ill make sure of that.


JUST 2 MORE DAYS!!!! Get them forms in! Wooooo
