The theme for the May Lineart Contest, as very well suggested by =aXforamnesty, is "Modern Monster."

The Modern Monster could be construed in a number of ways, but the overall gist regards a being, power, or influence that was created by the hands of our modern living and ends up tormenting us. It could be conveyed as a city overwhelmed with garbage, an apocalyptic depiction of war, or be expressed at a more personal level. What you consider to be a "modern monster," whether it be the inhumanity of humanity, the stress our civilized lifestyle brings, or even the Godzilla-esque shriek of an alarm clock, is all fair game.

Also, you could just invent your own monster. Seeing at 98% of lineart submitted to the *color-me-club contains the word "demon," here's hoping for many entries.

=aXforamnesty not only wins is complimentary spot in the *color-me-club journal...





...but also has won a complimentary month-long subscription to deviantArt. Congratulations!





Submitting to the May Lineart Contest is easy. Upload the image to your deviantArt gallery, then send a note entitled "May Lineart Entry" to the *color-me-club.

The note must be labeled "May Lineart Entry," and within the note, there needs to be a link to the contest entry in your deviantArt gallery.

Failure to include this information, or not title the note "May Lineart Entry" will reduce the odds of the submission being included during the voting portion. So please do try and get it right.






There are a few rules for the contest.

By participating in this contest, you automatically agree to the rules listed here-in.

Deadline for the May Lineart Contest is Saturday , May 31st. Entries submitted afterward might not be included at the very beginning of the voting portion, and will be included as late submissions (causing it to lose potential votes). So get those entries in to us by a timely manner.

You must be a *color-me-club member to participate.

Lineart must be created within the time frame of this contest. We will not accept entries for lineart that was submitted to your gallery prior to March, 2008.

Please do not send your image as both a contest entry AND a *color-me-club gallery submission. We will add your lineart to the gallery after the contest (lineart and color portion) has ended.

Nudity is allowed, but be smart about it. Entries are subject to removal if they (at great effort and without a doubt) do not seem decent enough to be showcased in a club with a membership demographic ranging between 14 and 18 years old.

Your lines must be your own. You may not steal another's lines. You may not trace another's lines. You may not copy and paste bits and pieces of other's lines together. You may not hire somebody else to draw lines for you. Lastly, you may not "borrow" another artist's lines, even with their permission to do so, and submit it to your own gallery...THEN submit it to this club. The lines must be entirely your own.

You grant permission to the *color-me-club to showcase your lines in its journal and in its gallery by submitting it to the contest.

Artists found to be pandering or begging for votes will be automatically disqualified. You are allowed to say "this is for a contest," or even "jolly gosh willikers Mikey, I sure pray I win." But saying something like "Hey, y'all, go to this [link] and send a note voting for my entry" will result in disqualification. Use your intelligence on this. This includes all medium on deviantArt, including:

-The image description
-Within the image itself
-Journals
-Comments
-Signatures
-Forum posts
-Notes
-News articles.
