Okay. Voting is now open and will go through Saturday the twenty-ninth. Please have you votes in by midnight on the Cafe clock.
Sorry that took so long to open the polls. My OCD is really bad today, so I had to check that I spelled everyone's names right four times. Yes. Literally four times. And I'm still freaking out that I spelled names wrong. -.-;

Great drawings everyone! Was too busy to participate in the end but I'm glad of how it turned out. Just noticed Kaito's fear of fish must be a serious problem on festivals, not only for the goldfish scooping and the bags they carry later but also for the decorations in some shops, some patterns in kimonos and the Taiyaki xD
Anyways, wish the best of luck to all of you! ^^

Ooh, didn't think of that. Should've drawn Aoko in fish-designed yukata... LOL and had Kaito-chan use the mask for a good reason, XD Oh yeah, forgot to comment too... Lessee... That KaiAo drawing looks really sweet Csigabiga. So many patterns and they look wonderful. Good job! And kkchan, dunno if you meant it that way but it looked to me like Aoko and Akako (and Kaito and Hakuba) are dating... :3 adorable tho, I like it! And flying soccer balls (or is that a beachball, Azrayah? Oooh, or maybe a watermelon?XD) are deadly, Kai-chan! XD And the contrast looks so nice, ichthy. You must've spent one heckuva time on that fireworks (Kid, seriously, won't you feel hot with that outfit? XP) Hmm... which one do I like best? :3

Congratz ichthyophobia for winning! Since voting is over I wanted to post my colored version, if that's okay. I know there's kinda no point but I'd still like to get feedback on it....

Okay. Sorry It took so long to make the announcement after I closed the poll. It told me I wasn't logged in, so I had to log in before I could write anything, and then it took me eight minutes to remember my password. -.-; ...Anyway. Congratulations to Ichthyophobia! It was a seriously close contest, and everyone did such a good job! At one point, Ichthy, Quincy, and KK were in a three-way tie, and I didn't know what we were going to do, honestly. ^.^; So...um... Sorry. I wasn't involved in the planning of the contest--I just kind of took charge since Kaggami, the real supervisor, was out of town when the voting was scheduled to open--so I don't really know what happens next. ^.^; Sorry. I'm sort of under the impression that for her prize Ichthy gets to choose one of the volunteers to write a 1,000-2,000 word story for her based off of her pic. I also believe that the end of this contest is the beginning of a writing portion that starts tomorrow(?). I believe those wishing to participate in the writing portion will write a story (length to be determined, but probably 1,500-5,000 words like our 5k contests) based on the drawing contest entries. Nikudou Natsumi and Kaggami are actually the ones in charge of this, so I believe that they'll take it from here. If not, you'll hear from me soon. So. Ichthy, why don't you go ahead and pick which volunteer you want to write your prize, and those participating in the writing portion, go ahead and start looking at the entries and planning your stories. We'll get back to you with rules about length and everything soon. Thanks to everyone who drew and voted for making this a successful first drawing contest!

Oh gosh, thanks everyone! Everyone did really well this time. Azrayah, yours makes a lot more sense in color. Kicking the watermelon at him is cute. As far as feedback on it, you might want to add some true darks or true highlights to the way you've colored Kaito's hair? The way you've used sweeping strokes for texture is good, but without true lights or darks it won't look 3d; it'll just look kind of lumpy. The motion blur on the watermelon is good. But for most of Conan's more powerful kicks, he sort of scoops up the ball with his foot in order to better control where it goes, rather than just launching it straight off the ground, so you'll see in the manga that when he kicks something the motion lines typically run from his kicking foot, since that's where the ball is coming from, so in this instance they almost look to be coming from the wrong spot. Good color choices, though, and I like how you've done the seafoam.

...Oh gosh, I did not realize I needed to pick someone. I thought it was just whoever wanted to do would do it? Um... whoever wants to do it can do it! If you really want me to pick someone, Mikau, I can, but I am really bad at choosing things, sorry.

Oh, it does? It seemed to register the same to me in grayscale as it did in color, but I guess that's because I'm the one who drew it and knew what it looked like colored Thank you so much for the feedback. Yeah, I realize the hair does look lumpy and wrong--I was trying a new coloring technique and I thought Kaito would be a nice try because of his super messy hair (but look where that got me )I see--I didn't realize the motion lines were wrong, but now that you've pointed it out they do seem slightly odd. I think when I was drawing it I knew Conan wasn't trying super hard with his kick because it's a watermelon so it'd break if he kicked too hard, but that idea didn't translate in my drawing. I think the things I'm happy and super proud of with this drawing would be the seafoam, the sand, Kaito's hand and his kinda shocked face, and Conan's hair. Everything else was kinda...erg...yeah...no wonder I got 4th

Yeah. Go ahead and pick. Sorry. You picking someone creates an obligation and starts the time for the one month deadline going. Otherwise I don't think things will get done in a timely manner. I kind of want this contest to set a precedent of timely turn arounds, so let's get things started on the right foot.

Haha. Thanks. Okay. Well, I suppose it's a good thing. That way I'll be forced to do my entry for the writing portion since I was going to base my entry on your pic anyway. ^.^
