Download character concepts. They are in the character zip for those who want to see. It's really worth downloading. The art is truly amazing. Looks far better than in the game. And how strange is Tahlkora's face in the heroes picture lol? Does anyone know if that female Paragon face is still in the game? It's so pretty.
I don't get the Dwayna joke. :S It's 4am and I'm not really with it.

meteor shower causes knockdown, so she cannot stand them,
NinjaKai
The police arrested Lyssa because she was two faced.
Xiypher
I'm considering entering, we'll see if I have time or come up with any ideas.
=-----------EDIT------------=
Question: Just looking for clarification, is cut/cropping/combining existing images and editing them to an original/unique idea accepted? or must everthing be made 100% from scratch?
I ask because I am cosidering doing abaddon, and would like to save time by not having to spend weeks drawing a human/demon/god man thing, and then adding the features of abaddon.

Images and other materials available may only be used for REFERENCE purposes only. Everything must be 100% original, there are no exceptions to this rule. Fact is everyone else is making pieces of art from scratch, no one recieves any form of special treatment on this matter.
Xiypher
1 more question: you said we can use abaddon, but what about The Goddess of Truth(Secrets)
NinjaKai
The main idea behind this is gods within the main lore of Guild Wars. The Goddess of Truth is too recent to have a definitive role on the lore. Unlike Abaddon who has influenced all of the events in the last 3 chapters. That and I do not wish to get entries with merely the appearance of Kormir.

So, I have a different Q:
Is nudity acceptable in submissions? I'm doing my sketch of Lyssa and just want to know if its okay.

Partial nudity as in her arms covering her chest region. Her forbidden regions must be covered. Basically nothing that can be seen as inappropriate.

Cheese, lemons and pickeled Abaddon.

Don't worry about the ban thing. Brother got into my account and did some things that broke the rules. Ban will be lifted by next week. So nothing to worry about.
ravensong
what did he do? what did he do? :P
Perynne
I'd suggest making the deadline a bit sooner, since it would save a lot of bumping of this thread (and thereby being more friendly in the eyes of the admins). That is, if the contest is still on despite the ban?
Also, drawing something doesn't really take over a month to complete - most people just put it off until the last possible date, and then complain that they "didn't have enough time". An easy way to forget a competition is to have the deadline too far away.

I guess it's too late. You can change the deadline once it's decided. You can choose a deadline later, but absolutely not earlier.
Hmm... what I found great was the deadline too far away. I did not start this contest because I got others to do before. And I'm very pleased to see this one not at the same time than the others.

You have a point. There are tons of art contests around Christmas. Now I'm just worried about NinjaKai's ban, I hope it really gets lifted by next week.
I haven't started my drawing yet either, but I know I'd have it ready already if the deadline had been sooner. Later deadline means there's more time to get lazy.....

An easy way to forget a competition is to have the deadline too far away. If it's made any sooner I won't get mine finished in time. The end of the year is a very busy time. And as an artist, I can say that drawings do not always take under a month to do. Not everyone is a procrastinator...

I'm sorry if I sounded too judging. As an illustrator/graphic designer myself, I understand that some works take a long time to do, sometimes even over a month. People are busy especially during the holiday season.
My point was that for a forum-type competition it'd be more participant-friendly to have either a very active competition with weekly contest-based comments (like the Tyrian Model contest over in Screenshots) or a competition with a shorter timeframe so that it doesn't get lost amongst all the other forum topics. Both of those methods would keep people's attention on the contest (and their own entries), rather than burying it under all the other topics around.
Still, I love the idea for this contest, and I now I see that it'd be a disaster to have the deadline sooner. Sorry to have bothered you, and looking forward to seeing more wonderful entries.

A weekly contest would be fun, but I don't think Kai has many prizes to go around. :P
I look forward to seeing your entry. ^_^

Opal Orchid
Hey all! Umm I got an email from kai asking me of all people :\ (I dont know why. lol) to let you all know his banning will end on December 21st. peaze!
greyf0x_f0x
I feel his pain, I got a temp ban myself, because of a silly mistake I made posting the wrong thing in the services forum -_-. It's kinda strict in there >_>
NinjaKai
@Opal: Thanks Opal for the small favor. Your a star in my books.
@BeXoR: While I would like to offer more. But i'd say the prize itself which is pretty big warrants me not needing to offer more.
@f0x: Your right is was nothing more than a small posting violation.

Oh, I wasn't complaining about the prize, I think it's huge! I was just responding to the suggestion of regularly weekly contests. It would be too much for just one person to do, I would think. I know I wouldn't know what to give out, or even have anything good enough if it were done on a regular basis.
NinjaKai
Sorry for not posting. Enjoying the holidays and all that. So hows everyone doing?
NinjaKai
Has everyone died or something?
Lili Frog
No, not yet
Just waiting an empty moment to start my entry.

That's the thing with setting the dealing so late, I'm sitting here safe in the knowledge that I can have my image done in a week or two, thus I've been working on other commissions, as I see no point starting work untill closer to the deadline I imagine other people are feeling the same. Rest assured though, I will be putting forward an entry ^^

Wintersday finale in 1 hr! Screw paintings! I'm gonna go have fun!

I plan on submitting this one once I colour it. My own not-quite-as-skeleton-like version of Grenth. X3 I'm excited.
And that fruit-like thing he's holding is supposed to be a heart, but I got lazy and will make it pretty(?) when I colour it.

It reminds me of the concept art from Final Fantasy IX.
