For the contest~ I chose my favorite shade of green. Oh yea, those are shadows in the corner, and that shiny thing is a fairie.

I chose the color Aqua, and the first thing that came to mind for me was the lead singer from the pop group, Aqua, Lene Nystrom Rasted. That's the kind of music I listened to nonstop when I was a little younger. =w=;

w-wow, this is AMAZING. I love this color, amazing job at it!

eeek thank you so much!

YAY!!!!! i didnt fail as much as usual! thank you so much for the lineart help guys! so this color is...purple-ish pink-ish. i was gonna do purple but his color looked nicer this color reminds me of music for unknown reasons C&C PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Letters look cutes^^

o.o nice. Purple always reminds me of royalty. I agree with ink; the letters are awesomeness XD I also like the highlights on the headphones. As for crits, have a look at this and rotate it to the side. The legnth of the head is the same as the...er...depth(?) of the head.

pink for bubble gum ^^

oh wow! i love the way you did the bubble!

ahh, this is so cute! love how you did the lineart purple/pink-ish (:

ahhh screw this XD I spent so much time on this and I hate it with a passion ajsdfhsjd oh well. I love sunflowers <3

thats nice

iLOVE!!! this is really pretty and i love the colors that you used ))

I really, really, really love this. I also like the shade of orange you chose, sort of a burnt orange, rather than a in your face orange. <3

aww thank you so much guys!! it was pretty hard to the moment I noticed that my orange kind of looks brown >_> I hope this is acceptable anyway.. /:

You draw sunflowers so well! (I tried to at first in my post but then I gave up because they looked like... well, scribbles.)

I had to look up in a picture first >__> but meh, since I don't really like using references, the photos didn't serve me as much as I was expecting XD ahahah thank you so much! (: *

I love love LOVE this. The expression, the shades, and like, everything is so warm~~. I like how the colors seem to make a sort of orangified-sepia tone. @w@

uhmm, I love sepia tones c: <3 thank you very much!

Green always reminds me of woodland areas and fairies, so I decided to use that for my contest entry. I'll probably touch it up a bit later, but right now I have a headache >.< c+c is greatly appreciated

you used watercolor for the wings, right? it turned out so much better than mine... like 1000000x

Water and a little airbrush

The pencil tool set to low opacity also works really well for translucent things This is very pretty, I love the green lineart especially.

thanks i thought about using the pencil or pen tool like that, but i wanted something a little less consistent to try and get some texture(although it didn't work very well... =_=')

lol everything looks all glowy, its AWESOME!

haha thanks XD

L-LOL our pictures took us the same ammount of time >___> ergh, I love green, and you did such a great job on this! (: the only critique I can say is.. the shoulders should be more relaxed since they kind of look.. tense XD maybe make them a tad bit lower would work (: but this is really lovely, I love how the mushroom looks like a candelier : D

lol, that's so weird XD i see what you mean on the shoulders (hopefully i'll still be able to fix it >.<) thanks

So the first thing that came to my mind when I though red was... FIRE BURST!!!(Its from Baten Kaitos XD) So yeah, heres my entry...I picked red because of a piece that I did a long time ago where I only used one SHADE of red, but I wanted to splurge, so I used a bunch of different reds XD Cnc plz

i love the details in this! super cool~

i thought white wasn't allowed...? but this is so much better than mine... (just scroll down and you'll see the crappy one)

wow! I love her clothes!!! I want them! Ad I love the cardy things; super cool design. Hmm, as for crits, I would say that the colour you used to shade her face is a light too...de-saturated? It makes her look a little old. And the hair is very nice but it lacks real depth. Adding a darker tone to the hair underneath and detail could really make it stand out. But these are only minor things.

what neko said

Thanks for the crit guys I actually based the cards after Baten Kaitos battle system: http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/article/543/543475/baten-kaitos-20040831012534510_640w.jpg except I used fire burst Lvl III. And what I did was, each Lvl has a different appearence when used, and when Fire Burst Lvl III is used, it comes out in like two half circles, like I did in my pic, so its like Baten Kaitos to the max XD

gah my tablet does not want to cooperate right now which is why the lines are all weird. >_< haha well i chose red, which makes me think of romantic type stuff, color of passion and blah blah i dont remember where i was going with this anymore. -_-' but theyre supposed to be dancing (lol i cant draw more than one person in one picture. XD)

HOLY FF OUR TWO PIECE WERE SUBMITTED LIKE ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY FORM EACHOTHER :O And we both picked red, psycic connection lol I srsly love your pic, the girls hands are freaking awesome, an dI envy your ability to draw hair XD Really great pic overall

OMG LOL weird. XD red is just an awesome color. XD and thank you~ <3

it looks really good!

It's yellow, which reminds me of smiles and sunshine Oh, and, it IS true that you're able to post in the contest room even if you already posted in another room, isn't it? If i'm wrong, tell me, because this is my second post in that case....

it's OK to do that. this is a pretty nice pic, wait do you use the trackthing on the laptop oor the little mouse you can attatch with a usb thing?

The trackthing on the laptop. I can't use normal mouses XP

Don't fret, precious, I'm here. Step away from the window. Go back to sleep. The boogeymen are coming, the boogeymen are coming. Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums. I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your demons. I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason. I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices, son. Stay with me. Safe and ignorant. Just stay with me. Hold you and protect you from the other ones. The evil ones don't love you, son. Go back to sleep. I hope I can use white. The color white made me think of things like clean and sterile. I'm sort of unhappy with how this turned out but oh well

You cans use white^^ It's pretty unique that you chose it !

Awe man I love that song!:D And this is a really impressive picture (in other words and other artist on this website I'm jealous of)

this looks so simple, yet so pretty (: love how you made the light coming out of the window! *

Since I totally suck at creating contest ideas, you guys might think this is lame. Sorry. But yeah, theme: Color--choose a color and draw a picture of the first thing that comes to your mind. In mine, I chose the color brown. The first thing that came to my mind was coffee, so I drew a person drinking coffee. You guys have to draw the whole picture using that color. I'll let you use like black and white, but try not to, otay ? Uhhhh, backgrounds are optional, but they'll make me like the picture more. Creativity is super important, yeah. I'm done c:

new contest hell yeah! Sounds like fun, I'll enter.

when does it end? it's nowhere near as lame as my idea. also another question: if i use the color red, can i use pink too? cuz pink is basically light red, isn't it? edit: oh nevermind i'm using blue. hopefully it's creative enough... blue is for bubbles

OH LOL, it ends whenever 3 weeks from yesterday is... So it's like August 3 ? Yeah, and also, I'll tell you the prizes when I announce the winners :3

this sounds like an awesome idea!!

i'm going to give it a shot.
