Hi everyone!
FINAL EDIT: I have decided to extend the deadline until the 5th August! Thank you so much to those of you who have already submitted ^^
EDIT NUMBER 2: So we have about 10 days left everyone! I've added more prizes too
EDIT: I've had a few people confused, my bad - you don't have to write a story, or draw a comic or anything like that. If you wish, you can just draw a portrait, half or fullbody of an OC! Writing the story is for those of my watchers who are more literary-inclined ^^ Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you so much for 800 watchers! That's massive! I can't even believe that six months ago, I had only 80. So to celebrate, I've decided to hold my first contest!
All you have to do to enter is draw one of my Original Characters, and you can win some art and some points from me! ^^
If you have any questions about ANY of my characters (some don't have long bios, or any at all), feel free to ask!
How to Enter:
1. Comment below saying you'll enter, so I can keep track of everyone
2. If you wish you can fave the journal, as you'll have to link me to your entry in the comments later
3. Go to this folder and choose one of my OCs - sta.sh/2ev3i8pxp1?edit=1
4. Draw a picture of the OC!
5. When you're done, link back to your entry on this journal!
The Rules:
- No NSFW please. Minimal blood/gore is okay
- Do not alter the design, though you can simplify it if you want (e.g. removing complex accessories etc)
- You CAN draw the humanised version of animal OCs if the version is already there - designing it yourself is a bit risky, as I'm very picky and might not like it
- If you'd prefer, you may write a short story about any of my OCs (please keep it to around 500 - 800 words)
- You may have any number of entries
- You do not have to be a watcher to enter
Judging:
Entries will close on the 1st August (a month from the opening of the contest). HOWEVER I will be happy to extend the contest if people need more time! Entries will be judged upon:
-Level of effort
-How well they evoke the character
-Creativity
-Technical skill (though this is not as important as the rest)
What You Can Win:
One main prize winner will receive:
- A fully-rendered headshot request from me
- 200 points
One runner up will receive:
- A fully-rendered headshot request from me
- 100 points
Two second runners-up will receive:
- A speedpaint headshot from me
The more entries there are, the more prizes will be added! EDIT: All entries will be displayed on my profile page when the contest ends! And new prizes will be added soon (hopefully!)

Where Else To Find Me
I've had a few new watchers here lately, so welcome! Unfortunately I'm not nearly as active here as I was in my heyday, but I still post most of my art here, minus sketches and WIPs. I'm more active on Twitter these days and there are also a few other places you might find of interest, so here they are! Twitter - https://twitter.com/ArasteiaArt I post all my finished art on here, as well as sketches and WIPs you won't see anywhere else. I'm also more active here in general in terms of chatting and posting. Artstation - https://www.artstation.com/arasteia This is more of a choice portfolio of my best art, probably got the nicest looking arrangement of my work. YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHJ-iCiAXEboJBzrDT75VQ I don't upload much cause I don't like recording, but I have a couple of speedpaints and tutorials here in case you're interested. CuriousCat - https://curiouscat.qa/ArasteiaArt A place where you can anonymously ask me (reasonable) questions

I Designed Lizard Shirts!
Hi everyone, shameless plug here! My boyfriend recently put out his first line of merch, and I drew one of the designs!

CuriousCat - AMA!
I made a CuriousCat account! You can ask me questions or tell me things anonymously and I'll reply! https://curiouscat.qa/ArasteiaArt P.S. I didn't think this would have to be said but please don't ask for fetish/NSFW stuff? That's not what I meant when I said AMA guys :stare:
