:star: PHASE TWO: BUST OUT YOUR ART SKILLZ :star:

JUDGES: *sakky-attack, =loriofpandora, *TonomuraBix & *elila

Phase Two of the contest is for Artists! Your task is to create a pin up illustration based on the stock provided in phase one. The character in the illustration must be any of the Sailor Senshi characters from the manga/anime series Sailormoon. (Yes, this includes Animamates, Starlights, etc., anyone with 'Sailor' in their title. Sorry no fan senshi and no canon senshi without clear references for comparison.)

Please fav the news article: [link] :la:
Entries can be submitted by note or comment!

For references, check out the Image Gallery at The Oracle

DEADLINE: Must be submitted to DA by the end of day December 31, 2009

RULES
The requirements for your entries are:

:bulletred: You must use a stock image from the first part of the contest as your reference! These images are available in this folder!

:bulletred: The characters should be portrayed in their 'sailor outfits' as accurately as possible

:bulletred: Backgrounds should be very minimal or non-existent - the focus in a pin up is on the figure!

:bulletred: One entry per artist (you can not enter into both categories, so if you make traditional and digital art you will have to pick just one)

Artwork will be judged on artistic merit, style, ambition, and adherence to the rules.

First, if you aren't already watching :iconone-stop-stock: then you ought to be!

This group is a great collection of stock artists and stock lovers! The submissions coming through this group are nothing less than inspirational, so if you love stock, get on it! :D

Stockers of the month are :iconskyresources: and :iconcat-in-the-stock: Here's a small feature of some of their work that I enjoy:



The long anticipated contest I've been blabbing on about will start today or tomorrow!! :dance: I just have to finalize the information and get everything posted. Expect another journal from me soon!

Thanks for the feedback on Moonlight Dan. I'm glad you guys are excited about the new model. Hopefully he will be able to come over for another shoot soon.

For those of you following the plight of my kitty, I'm afraid the news is not good. :( Java went through an array of testing over the last few weeks which has basically ruled out any other possibility besides the fatal FIP. I feel like we did the right thing in spending all that money to be sure, but now I know there really is nothing I can do except keep her as happy and comfortable as I can until the end. I am hoping that she can stay at home and die here with us, but if she shows any indication of being in pain or if her belly starts swelling, I will made the decision to put her to sleep. So sad! :crying: But death and I, we have an understanding. Now that I know it's inevitable, I will go forward with strength. :heart:

Keep the art rollin'!
