April 1/50 for 150 Raffle!

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 7, 2012, 11:49 PM

BULLETIN:

As a way to kick off April's coloring contest, we are once again hosting the 1/50 for 150 Raffle!  All you have to do is +Fav this journal, which puts you in a random drawing to win an easy 150 dA points!  Pretty easy, huh?  So easy and effortless, you'll probably wake up in a few days having completely forgotten, and wondering just who this #color-me-club fellow is that's throwing random dA points at you.

There will be a winner added for each extra 50 +Fav's this journal receives.  So you have, at minimum, a one in fifty shot at winning!  However, the winner cap will be at 500 +Fav's, so get yourself in quickly to be in the first 500 before the cap is reached!

Of course, this whole raffle thing is just a big ol' ruse to stir up attention to an even bigger event.  Yep, already mentioned it earlier, but colorists unite(!) we're also kicking off our next coloring contest!

_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 100 points or more will also get a three-thumbnail feature in the #color-me-club journal.

_{HOW IT WORKS.}

The contest is simple. Take any of the lines above or from this collection: [link], download the full resolution, print it off or open it in your favorite drawing program, and give it some color. Entries will be accepted until May 1st.

Then, a four-day long voting period will be held between May 1st through the 4th.

All medium is accepted. You can color these images with Photoshop, Painter, Gimp, OC, crayons, color pencils, markers, pastels, ZBrush, you name it. If it colors, it's acceptable.

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

Once you have completed your colored version of the lines above, submit it to your DeviantArt gallery. Then, send the #color-me-club a note. The note should be titled "APRIL COLOR CONTEST ENTRY," and the note needs to contain a [link] to your colored piece.

_{ANY SPECIAL RULES?}

There are a few rules that need some going over. First of all, you can only submit one entry.

You do NOT need to be a member of the #color-me-club to participate. This is open to everybody.

The same rules regarding coloring lineart in the #color-me-club gallery still apply.  You can add to the image (environment, other effects, etc), but you cannot dramatically affect the lines in a way that completely changes them.  Also, do not remove or modify the signature or watermark on the image; that must stay.

Paintovers are acceptable.  You are free to even add details or completely redo other details, just as long as the general look and feel of the image still maintains that of the original lines.  Also remember that by doing a paintover, you are subject to the original line artist's demands; even if the lines aren't visible, their intended image and layout most certainly is.

You may resize the image however you need to as long as the contact information on the lineart is still legible.

Lastly, any users found to be pandering for votes will be disqualified.  You ARE allowed to state "I hope I win, wish me luck" on the image description.  However, you CANNOT say "everybody go to this [link] and send them a note voting for me" in any medium.  And by any medium, we mean ANY medium.  This includes:

-On the image description.
-On the image itself.
-On comments in that image, or other images.
-Journals.
-Your signature.
-Forum posts.
-Notes.
-Singing in the Back of Cop Cars.

Let the image speak for itself, and the best way to say "vote for me" is to put a laborious amount of love and tender work into your art.

All my blessings and best wishes to participants, and all my sincerest regards for best luck!  Here's hoping you too feel inspired to augment your coloring abilities and bolster them to reach for the stars, too!

`vest
