LIFE NEEDS A SOUNDTRACK: Characters To Songs Contest

Alright, so here is a journal dedicated solely to the new contest I am hosting at this time. Hope to see many entries and that people will have fun with this! And remember if you have * any questions * feel free to post them here in a journal and ask, or contact me via note. I am more than willing to answer them! ^^

Theme: To create an illustration or writing inspired by a song/lyrics containing [[at least] one of my characters. The piece can depict an actual scene or merely the character(s) itself(/themselves). The idea is to take a song of which the lyrics bring to mind a particular association to a character—or characters—or scene involving a character [or characters] of mine and create a piece of art or writing based off of that inspiration/connection.

Examples: Ex1OfWorksSimilarToTheme
Ex2OfWorksSimilarToTheme
Ex3OfWorksSimilarToTheme
Ex4OfWorksSimilarToTheme
Ex5OfWorksSimilarToTheme
[all of these examples showcase pieces that I have done that were inspired by/associated with songs/lyrics]

Rules: The piece must contain at least one of my characters. It can contain more than one, or others' characters as well, but it must contain at least one of my own. It must be inspired by a song. The lyrics do not have to appear in the work itself but must appear in the description when posted on DA. The work must depict the connection between the music and the characters/scene that is shown. Bringing a scene inspired by the words to life or showing off a character for its beliefs or views as per association with the lyrics and message of the song. Sketches and short scenes will be accepted so long as they are cleaned up and not messy in appearance. No more than * 2 * entries allowed per person.

Judging: Will be based on how well the lyrics associate with the work and the character(s) involved within it.

Prizes: IF I receive * 10 or more!* entries= 1st-yr subscription to DA & digitally colored drawing; 2nd-6month subscription to DA & digitally colored figure; 3rd- 3 month subscription to DA & digitally colored portrait; 4th- month subscription to DA & colored pencil drawing; 5th- pencil drawing
IF I receive * less than 10* entries= 1st-3 month subscription to DA & digitally colored drawing, 2nd-month subscription to DA and colored pencil drawing; 3rd- pencil drawing.
[so if you want cooler prizes, we'll need more entries, spread the word

]

Deadline: -JUDGING UNDERWAY-

ENTRIES: [limit 2 per entrant]

..."There are many things folks fathom impossible that are discovered to not quite be as much as they previously seemed."

"Oh, certainly, sir. One may hardly pass judgement upon any sort of act, as it may be completed in the future, aye? Sitting in midair without magical or physical restraints, or perhaps even leaping from a cliffside with a pair of wings fashioned out of wood..."

"Are you offering to try?"...

that's one of the main reasons I left a very long deadline for it....give time for people to ponder. There's so many various different songs that I already associate with different characters and I love to find new ones hehee

Please just don't play with me. My paper heart will bleed. This wait for destiny won't do. Be with me, please, I beseech you. Simple things, that make you run away. Catch you if I can...

yeah I know it's not exactly the easiest contest, but it is something different and it won the poll I'd posted for the theme of my next contest

I'm willing to help people like if they're not sure of a song-character combination I can give them one I associate and they can just look at lyrics and try to draw scenes you know?

Current Contests:

Let's Play Dress Up!!!! XD

Alright, it's time to open up a new contest!!! The wait is over ladies and gentleman!

Here's to hopin' for lots and lots [you know the more we get the better the prizes will get!!!] of entries!!

The Idea: Quite simple. As the contest will be open from all fool's day to a day all about dressing up and getting treats...the idea is to dress up one of my characters! You can include your own characters in the images too but I feel it's only fair that I judge my own characters so it'll be focused on mine. You can pick from any character as popular or unpopular as they might be. There will be two different categories--double the chance of winning!

--to enter, AND if we get can get lots and lots of entries then I might award lil prizes for "most creative" "most humorous" "sexiest" "coolest" etc. So hey, help us to get the entry number up!

The Rules: * Each piece must include 1 of my characters dressed up. * Entries can be photomanipulation, traditional, digital, drawing, sketch, colored, black&white, writing, painting, 3D model, actual objects, etc. Just make sure proper credit is given in your work when you submit it! *If you win in one category, you cannot place 1st place in the other. *If you submit a prize, you can still win a placement in the contest! * There is NO limit to entries! * You can enter the same character dressed up more than once.

The deadline: Contest open from April 1st to November 14th (Contest Closed!)

The Categories:
**In-Character**
Any outfit that a character might actually wear while still remaining proper to their persona.

--and--

**Out-Of-Character**
Any outfit that a character would not otherwise wear while still remaining true to their persona.

((any questions as to which your entry would qualify as, please ask me via note. I'll be more than happy to help

))

The Prizes:
(if you'd like to donate to this list, please send me a note titled "CONTEST PRIZE OFFERING" ; thank you! )
