You mean starting next contest with the color. It would be completely unfair to those with submissions already in if now later entries were allowed to color. I know I for certain would be more likely to vote for a color entry than a black and white unless the black and white did something stunning, so that rule will change starting next contest in order to keep things fair.
Entries for this contest will be black and white/greyscale, and we'll switch to color (if you so choose) next contest.

I have contacted everyone who already submitted their drawing that if they want, they can color it. Since it has been only about a week since the competition started, I think changing the rule now won´t affect anyone. If those participants complain that it is unfair to them, we´ll go back to the first rule.

It could be argued that it's already unfair that they have to go back and redo their entries after they've already completed them in order to compete with newer entries. Even though I think it would be better if the entries were in color, I believe consistency is important and that we should respect other's time. Some people are very busy and might honestly not have time to redo their work or to redo it to the level of quality that they would have done it had they been allowed to use color in the first place. I know school is starting up for a lot of our members, and this can be a very busy time of year. My main concern is making sure that this contest is run fair and professionally, but if our entrants are okay with changing the rules and redoing their submissions in the middle of the contest, that's fine. I have no personal stake in it, so I'm not going to insist on anything if the participants are fine with it. It's just my responsibility as a mod to make sure that things are on the up and up so that entrants compete on equal footing and the outcome of the contest is determined fairly. I'm just kind of worried about possible future entrants being in limbo, not able to start their entries in color until our two confirmed participants give the green light. Hopefully we'll hear from both Csigabiga and kkrazy256.

I'm not sure I'll have the time to color mine. However, if Csigabiga doesn't mind, sure.

If you're really okay with it. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth is all. But I've always been such a stickler for rules and making sure everything is fair. I guess that's why I'm so suited to the legal world.

I think you tell Kaggami via PM after you post it.

Okays then~ Here's mine I was originally planning to draw Sera Mi-cchan in a yukata but then tiny gray cells nagged me with drawing chibi Kaito and Aoko so, there... ... Wish I could have scanned it better, though, but oh well... *runs off to Kaggami-chan's inbox...*

And here is my entry! It's colored, but Mikau made the point that it wouldn't be fair to others (even with their consent) to have a colored entry, so here's the gray scale version! After the contest end date I was thinking of posting the colored version. Everyone was doing a summer festival theme so I decided to do a water scene! I originally wanted to draw a water park scene but I got lazy I also wanted to draw others but school just started for me so this is all I could manage Good luck to everyone! Now to tell Kaggami~~

Both pics look so cute ^^ So much fish Quincy, poor Kaito x3 I like the background of yours Azra, it really does look like sand.
And thank you both for being so considerate of Csigabiga and me. They both look lovely, even in grayscale. Thank you Mikau for being so concerned. ^^

No problem. It's just that I know how much hard work you all put into your work, so to have that work discounted because another entry is in color...that's not fair, and it just doesn't sit well with my sense of justice. There's a reason I decided to go into law after all. ^.^; I think they all look awesome so far, though. I'm really excited about this! Good luck everyone!

Might as well throw my virtual hat into the ring here! Stark black and white for me, since I've been enjoying high contrast/sharp edged stuff lately. Kaito and Conan watch fireworks. Fireworks are kind of remarkably hard to draw.

Hey guys, your drawings are really cool, why can´t I draw...? TT.TT But this is not about it today...
I am going on vacations for a week and I´m no sure I´ll have easy internet access, so I may be unable to answer any questions until I am back. I apologize, once again, and I´ll try to access it, but I´m not sure I´ll can.
