Yesss, I totally borrowed this from my last contest. :XD:

At Work or At Play F.A.Q.



Q. I'm having a hard time reading the contest information because of your journal background. Is there any other place I can read it?
A. Absolutely! I now have an article available that contains all the contest information and is guaranteed to be easier on the eyes. Click HERE to read it.

Q. Is there anything required of me to enter?
A. No. There are no stipulations to enter. Anyone can join, you don't even need to ask. Just notify me when your submission is ready.

Q. When is the deadline for entries?
A. January 5th 2011 at midnight, Central Standard Timezone

Q. Are collaborations allowed?
A. No, it would be too difficult to split the prizes evenly. Sorry!

Q. Does my entry have to be colored?
A. No, however, it can cost you points if it is not. Rough sketches will not be accepted at all.

Q. What does IC and/or AU stand for?
A. IC = In Character and AU = Alternative Universe; the first meaning that you keep them in character both as far as their appearance and actions go with their current story line. The second allows you to depict them in clothing/settings that they would not normally be found in, such as modern-day clothing and the like.

Q. Do I have to draw more than one character?
A. No, the amount of characters in your submission is up to you. However, you will be given bonus points for including additional characters.

Q. Do they have to be your characters?
A. Yes. Your submission must include at least one my original characters. The Bleach cast is optional. Each character description lists who else can be included in a picture with them. Whomever you chose to draw with one of my OC's, should you choose to draw more than one character, they must have an actual, pre-existing relationship with them. If you wish to draw more than one character in your piece, please choose from one of those listed in the primary characters description. If there is a character not listed that you would like to draw, please contact me.

Q. What about background characters?
A. If they pertain to the stories of the characters, yes. Random badguys are okay, just make sure they pertain to the characters and their backgrounds. (Wheel of Time related mobs like trollocs and myrddraal's are fine too, for the WoT based characters) If you want more detailed information, note me.

Q. Can I change some things about the characters?
A. It depends on what. Fixed traits, such as eye-color/hair-color you cannot. Clothing and accessories are okay, though. Particularly if you wish to draw them in an AU setting.

Q. What do you mean by “Work or Play”?
A. For which ever character(s) you decide to draw, you must portray them in a scene that either involves working of some sort (slaying Hollows, doing paperwork, Healing the wounded, fighting bad-guys, working-out etc) or play, as in relaxation. At play suggestions could be things like dressing up for halloween/cosplay, going for a swim, playing video games, dancing, tea-time, etc.

Q. What if I have a question about one of the characters?
A. If you've already been over their full character sheet and you still have a question, you can message or note me at any time. I'm almost always available and I'm more than happy to help. I'll gladly give any information out about the characters so long as it doesn't involve revealing future chapters of their story.

Q. I noticed Alindrah has a spear in some of her reference pictures. Can I draw her with that?
A. Please do not draw Alindrah wielding her spear. That is off limits to anyone, save the artists I have specifically commissioned to draw her with it. I will not give out information on it as it pertains to the future of her story. Sorry.

Q. Can I modify the characters physically?
A. No. Please do not depict any of the characters as anthro, chibi, mechanical or anything other than their natural race.

Q. Can I use a base model in my entry?
A. No, it must be 100% created by YOU. Bases will not be accepted.

Q. I want to enter, but I don't think I'm good enough. Does skill level-matter?
A. Skill-level doesn't matter, just do your best and have fun!

Q. How many entries are allowed per deviant?
A. There is no limit to the amount of entries you submit, but know that only one will be allowed to place. You cannot win both second and third place, for example. The lesser of the two entries would be eliminated, should this occur.

Q. Do I need to have a PayPal account if I win?
A. PayPal and Xoom are preferred, but if you don't have either, I'll make whatever arrangements necessary to see to it that you're able to claim your winnings.

Q. Can I draw oOLadyLuckOo's characters with yours? Or vice versa?
A. Yes, so long as it is an AU entry.


That's all I have for now. If there is something I left out here, let me know and I'll be sure to add it. ^^
