IT BEGINS.

First off, we're doing it again!  We're bringing back the 1/50 for 150 raffle!

All you have to do is +Fav this journal to put yourself in the running to win 150 dA points.  There will be multiple names drawn in this raffle; one for every fifty people who participate.  So you have, at minimum, a 1/50 chance of scoring some major pointage!

The raffle caps at 400 +Fav's, so we'll have a maximum of 8 winners.  Only the first 400 will be eligible to win, so you gotta be quick.  Prizes will only be given to accounts created previous to the start of this contest.  Sorry newbies, gotta keep things legit.

The names will be drawn on February 12th.  Best of luck, folks!





Secondly, donations are now OPEN at :iconcmc-donations:.  All donors will not only get that warm fluffy feeling of inner-peace, but they'll be judiciously thanked and given some lovin' in the color-me-club journal.  Donors of 100 points or more will get a three thumbnail art feature in the color-me-club journal!

Lastly!

Let's get the February Coloring Contest ROLLING!


The :iconcolor-me-club: Presents:

February 'Year of the Dragon / Books' Color Contest:




Now that the voting period is over, we will now spend the remainder of February holding the color portion of the Mythical Creatures" color contest.

PRIZES.

:bulletyellow: 1000 dA Points from vest
:bulletyellow: 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 :iconcmc-donations:.  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, 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 March 1st.

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

All medium is accepted.  You can color these images with Photoshop, Painter, Gimp, OC, crayons, color pencils, markers, pastels, Glitter Glue, 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 "FEBRUARY 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.  :thumbsup:

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.
-Death Metal Opera.

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.


Best of luck everyone!  I know, I know, we don't have any of them haaaawt buxom beauties adorning the lineart selection this time around...but I still trust one of you guys to color one of those dragons in a way that'll make me blush.

I've never tried this before, I'm always late for the deadlines, or I try to enter them before they tell us that we miss the deadline, even though they don't mention it in the journal
