Journal Entry: Fri May 17, 2013, 5:08 PM

Bulletin:
Two weeks remain until the end of the May 'Circus/Flowers' Lineart Contest. Details Below!

Also!

We are still accepting donations to the contest prize pool. Remember, all donors get a special recognition in an upcoming dA journal, and all donors of 50 points or more will receive a 3-thumbnail art feature right smack dab on the frontpage of this club!

The

Presents:

The May "Circus/Flowers" Lineart Contest

A recent poll has shown that apparently you guys like things that are awash in fragrant bouquets of festive colors! This month, we will be holding a lineart contest based around the themes of Circus and Flowers.

While your entries all have the chance to be selected for coloring in next month's coloring contest, the line artists get to now really express themselves with patterns and floral arrangements and wild animals jumping through flaming hoops over sharks on scooters (wait, is the wild animal on a scooter, or the sharks? The answer is yes).

Also, if you would like to help out in this month's contest but don't quite have the chops/time to chalk up a lineart for it, worry not! You can still do your part and get judiciously thanked by contributing to our Donations page! It's like a Kickstarter with fake money to buy real things like prints and subscriptions!

Well...subscriptions aren't really things in the tangible sense, but...PRINTS! Like this one! Abraham Lincoln charging to war, shooting lasers out of his eyes while a bear in a top hat rides on his back!

Isn't art wonderful?

Man, we should make next contest's theme "Bears / American Presidents." Anybody else envision Bill Clinton's sax solo backed up by a polar bear on double bass? I sure do.

But that might just be the cold medication kicking in.

_PRIZES.

1000 dA Points from `vest

2,000 dA Points from the #color-me-club (Go to ~CMC-Donations to donate to the prize pool)

If you'd like to donate a prize, use the donation widget on

. Donors to that prize pool will be featured in the #color-me-club journal. Donors of 50 points or more will also get a three-thumbnail feature in the #color-me-club journal.

_{HOW IT WORKS.}

The contest is simple. Just draw a black and white lineart of an image that reflects the "Circus/Flowers" theme. Remember, it doesn't have to mesh the themes, you're really just being extended the opportunity to choose one or the other. You know...to make it more inclusive.

Deadline is on May 31st.

Then, a three-day long voting period will be held between June 1st and the 3rd.

_{I'M DONE WITH THE LINES. NOW WHAT?}

Once you have completed your black and white lineart entry, submit it to your DeviantArt gallery. Then, send the #color-me-club a note. The note should be titled "MAY LINEART CONTEST ENTRY," and the note needs to contain a [link] to your black and white lineart.

_{ANY SPECIAL RULES?}

A few.

By contributing your lineart to this contest, you automatically agree to the rules listed herein, and give permission to the #color-me-club to showcase your artwork in the #color-me-club journal.

Only one entry per deviant.

Entries must be dated no earlier than May 1st, 2013.

Entries should be received by May 31st.  While we still accept entries through voting, you understand that late entries will be uploaded when the club is updated, and the artist will lose potential votes with a late entry.

The lineart must be your own.  Ripped or "sampled" lineart will be disqualified.  This includes tracing.  This does not include "referenced" images, you may use any image for reference.  As long as you don't trace an existing image directly, you're free to use any image for reference to help you create your work.

Winners of previous contests ARE allowed to participate.  There are no restraints for how often members can contribute.  The game here isn't about winning.  It's about creating.

You do not have to be a #color-me-club member to participate.  This is open to the whole dA community!

Lastly, have only one artist submit the image.  Collaborative efforts are encouraged.  However, ensure the other collaborator knows the image will be submitted to the contest, and determine who will be representing the image.

Best of luck everyone, hoping to see some awesome entries this month!

Thanks to our April Donors!

Another month has passed, and we got ourselves a nice little booster from a handful of our generous members! Let's extend these folks some due thanks and praise, shall we?

Remember, they helped make this contest happen, so they're certainly entitled to a bit of help in return. Check out their stuff for real, and if you legitimately like any of their images, don't hesitate to give it a +fav or toss a comment their way! They helped us, so it would be completely appropriate to repay them with some help of our own.

Thanks to all our donors again! You guys are absolutely beautiful...but you already know that, right?
