~here ! here ! comes this rising tide, so come on !~

YO, SO I'M GONNA HOST A DRAWING CONTEST BECAUSE IT SOUNDS FUN  and I want people to draw my oc because it makes me really happy when people do 


alright so, here is the information you need to know for this drawing contest !!

So why should you enter? I'm glad you asked!
Not only will it make me really happy but THERE ARE REWARDS! REWARDS THAT I'M SURE YOU WILL ENJOY! Plus, everyone who enters will get their art featured in a journal at the end of the contest! How rad is that?

So here is what you are gonna want to know if you decide to enter the contest.
 You're gonna be drawing this chick     
Her name is Kat! She is a very dear OC to me that has pretty much become my favorite! (hence the drawing contest)

Here is her reference/bio sheet! I'd heavily recommend checking this out if you plan on entering! 

The due-date for this contest will be December 10th, which is also my birthday. So you have PLEEEENTY of time to enter!

I will be judging entries based on effort! Not on 'how well you can draw humans' or 'if you are a good enough artist' or something like that. In my eyes, every artist is a good artist. You just gotta give it your all and your best effort! 
This also gives you a good chance to flex your drawing capabilities too! Something I've learned about improvement is that the more you test your skill level, the higher it will go up.
So if you think you shouldn't join because you're not good at drawing humans, or you're not very experienced with shading or something, that is okay! Join anyways, because I will love your entry no matter what!

 Alright, with that out of the way, I'll go over the rules!

 POST A JOURNAL ABOUT THIS CONTEST BEFORE YOU JOIN! that is like, your ticket into this contest!
this way, more people will be able to have a chance to join!

 NO NSFW STUFF PLEASE GREAT STARCLAN NO

 NO KILL ART OR ART THAT PORTRAYS KAT GETTING GUTTED TO DEATH OR SOMETHING 

 Gore/violence is okay, but only on a small scale. Do not go overboard !!

 anyone and everyone can enter!

 I will accept only digital and traditional drawings!!

 stick to the reference sheet as much as you can! the more accurately drawn, the better

 I would recommend watching me so you can keep track of updates, but you don't have to!

 DON'T TRACE OTHER PEOPLE'S ART! I DON'T ACCEPT ART THIEVES >:0
draw it yourself, if you need to use reference, go for it! but like, y'know, don't enter art that doesn't belong to you because not only are you taking credit for something you didn't draw, but you are also enteRING IT INTO A CONTEST THAT IS SO RUDE GOOD GOD
tracing a drawing to get the line art correct does NOT COUNT AS A DRAWING YOU DID

 BE A GOOD SPORT! don't bash other people's entries! DON'T BE A BUTT! The whole point of this contest is to promote positivity and art development! Not hurting other people's feelings!

 If you don't think you're good enough to enter, you are good enough to enter.

 Due date is December 10th, 2015! I won't accept anymore entries after that! I will announce the contest winners soon after that date!

 You can only enter once! One drawing counts as one entry, so make it count!!

 once you post your entry, please tag me in it! otherwise I won't see and wont be able to count your entry D:

 All entries will be kept in this folder collection if you want to check out other people's entries! c:

 If you need any ideas for what to draw, shoot me a note or an ask! 
I won't be specific, because I am depending on you, the contestant, to come up with something! But that doesn't mean I'm not willing to give you some ideas! (reading Kat's bio might also give you some ideas!) Also, I have a Fortera Aesthetic tag on Tumblr if you are looking for inspiration for a background! (Fortera being the planet that Kat lives on)

 Be creative! creativity is also something I'm looking for in this contest! And have fun!
