PLEASE NOTE THESE DISCLAIMERS BEFORE ATTEMPTING A PURCHASE

There might be some light scruff/scratch marks on the
front/back cover and/or spine because of the shipping
from the print company. (ie. you can see some of the scruff/scratch marks on the pictures of the particular
book we took pictures of above. For the spine image
above, the white/bright line near the top on the left
hand side is the light and not a scratch/scruff
mark (same goes for the line on the top right),
but you can see some near the lower portion
and next to the right wing). We have no control over
this and the book you get might or might not have
much noticable marks and this varies from book to book.
Thus this is the first disclaimer item.

A couple of pages in the book (about 4 or 5 pages)
might have a slight dent as a result of the print
company's folding process being a little too
rough on those pages. The dent is smaller than the size
of a hole punch (ie. about 1/4 inch or less).
We also had no control in this matter and
thus this second disclaimer.

There will be no refunds/exchanges except under very
special circumstances deemed by us to warrant this
kind of action. And when we say special circumstances,
we mean on the lines of extreme (ie. like if you get the
artbook and it's destroyed to the point
where you can't tell it apart from yesterday's trash)

** So if I didn't scare you away with all the above
and you have decided to purchase "MUGENO," please click
the "Buy Now" link below to go to the purchase page.

(Note that we are only taking direct paypal payment.)

Buy Now

(If you're in the US and don't have paypal, we can accept postal money orders also. If you are interested, please send me a note. If you're outside the US, then paypal is the only way for payment. Sorry about that. )

Artist Features

Thanks for all the Artist Suggestions that I had received last month.

As mentioned, the artists that we pick to feature (and also the suggester of the artist) will receive 400 DA points.

Anyhow, after going over all the suggestions, the below are the artists that we chose to feature (in no particular order):

===

suggested by

This artist has gallery of very nice comic sketches and colored works. With less than 5K views after 5 years in DA, this artist needs more attention. Check it out. Below are 3 pieces from this artist's gallery:

:thumb204071225:

===

suggested by

This artist's gallery has a variety of acrylic paintings that are dreamy and colorful. Jump on over to the gallery to take a look. Here's 3 samples from this artist's gallery:

===

suggested by

This artist has many interesting pictures and ideas that are portrayed in a way that catches your attention. With only a little more than 9K views after 4 years on DA, definitely give the gallery a visit. Here's 3 samples from this artist's gallery:

===

===
Rules for submitting an artist suggestion

The rules are simple and are listed below:

1) Limit of one (1) artist suggestion per person per month (ie. so don't submit more than 1 artist suggestion or give me a list of artists to choose from. You must only suggest 1 artist)

2) To send a suggestion, please send me a note with the subject: "Feature Artist Suggestion" that contains the artist that you're suggesting.

3) I will notify you if your selection is picked (ie. shortly after the end of the month) and if your suggestion is picked, I will give you and the artist 400 DA points.

4) If your selection doesn't get picked, you can resubmit it the following month if you like (ie. possible that for one month I have a big list of candidates and just that there were some artists that month that seemed to need the feature more than others).

5) If there's a case where two people submit the same artist suggestion, then whichever submission was earlier will be the one counted.

6) Please don't send me suggestions for artists that already have lots of page hits as the whole point of this feature is to try to feature artists that are on the opposite side of the spectrum.

7) Before sending in a suggestion, please double check below to make sure that the artist hasn't been featured in the past already.

That's it. I think this is a win/win situation where Artists that deserve more credit can be featured, and suggesters can also benefit. Hope I will get many suggestions. ^__^

====================
recap of previous contest
====================

Hi,

      Welcome to December's animé fanart/OC contest (and the final one):

Please read through all the rules before submitting

*** Subject for this month is:

          Save the Best for Last

*** Description:

Yep, you didn't read wrong... I'm taking a break from the contests and features.  This will be the final contest that will be held. (Will there be more contests in the future you might ask?? No idea ... only time will tell I guess).

Anyhow, I think the subject this month is pretty self explanatory and matches the occasion.  So draw a scenario depicting the subject mentioned using animé character(s) or animé styled OC (Original Characters).  Note that no matter how you interpret the theme, the clearer the entry shows the how you had incorporated it and can do so with minimum or no description necessary, the better.

Have fun drawing and as always ... creativity is a plus. Keep in mind that interesting and unique ideas are your friends. ^____^

Looking forward to seeing some great entries to end the nearly 10 years of running monthly contests.

*** Contest start and end dates:

    Start Date: December 6th, 2011

    End Date:  December 26th, 2011  (ie. Note that December 26th is the last day to submit for this contest and NOT December 31st, so entries should be submitted before the end of December 26th)

*** Prizes (YAY!!!) :

1st Place Prize:

$30 paid through paypal

OR

$30 gift certificate to shop in ebay
(Note that since ebay doesn't have a $30 gift certificate option, you will receive one $25 and one $5 gift certificate totaling $30) If you are thinking of selecting this option, please read the ebay terms outlining the use as ebay gift certificates can only be used if you have a valid paypal account.

OR

2400 DA points

OR

A copy of the non-profit MUGENO artbook   (note that this option requires winner to provide a shipping address so we can ship the artbook)

OR

some other gift certificate service (ie. like amazon ...etc) in which the gift certificate can be emailed and can handle $30 increments. (very flexible in this matter.  If you're unsure if it works or not, drop me a quick note and I'll be glad to look into it and let you know)

2nd Place Prize:

$10 paid through paypal

OR

$10 gift certificate to shop in ebay
If you are thinking of selecting this option, please read the ebay terms outlining the use as ebay gift certificates can only be used if you have a valid paypal account.

OR

700 DA points

OR

some other gift certificate service (ie. like amazon ...etc) in which the gift certificate can be emailed and can handle $10 increments. (very flexible in this matter.  If you're unsure if it works or not, drop me a quick note and I'll be glad to look into it and let you know)

3rd Place Prize:

500 DA points

--

Also note that ebay gift certificates are only redeemable in ebay. If you have any questions about ebay gift certificates, please visit the ebay site

*** But WAIT!! , I think Mr. PR wants to continue his duties.   So let's let it do what it needs to do (if you don't know what Mr. PR does or is, please read below description)

Description of Mr. PR

Just a quick recap of Mr. PseudoRandom  (let's call him Mr. PR for short).  Mr. PR is going to help me with a very important task that I think will be of interest to everyone reading.

What Mr. PR will do is that at the end of the contest, he will choose 3 numbers randomly and at least 3 participants of the contest (excluding the winners and honorary mentions (if any)) will get a chance to win 400 DA points.

So how does this work you ask?  Well, of course since it came from my wacky mind, the whole thing is pretty wacky ... haha, but there is logic to this madness (at least I hope).  So here is how this whole system works:

1) When a person submits a piece of artwork to this contest, they would send me a note when they have posted their entry on DA (ie. see submission instructions below).  So using this note, I will take the hour and minutes of the time that the note was sent and use that as the person's "lucky" number.  So say the person sends me the note at "7:31:57 PM" then his/her lucky number is a combination of the hour and minutes (ie. 7 is the hour and 31 is the minutes, so the lucky number is 731 , and if the time is say "11:43:50 AM" the lucky number will be 1143 .... etc )

2) At the end of the contest, Mr. PR will do his job and start selecting random numbers (3 in total).  Now Mr. PR is very persistent and therefore he will continue to choose random numbers until all three numbers chosen matches with some participant's lucky number.  These participants that have the lucky numbers that were chosen will each get 400 DA points. (see below for special cases/exceptions)

*** Special cases/Exceptions:

- In the case that there is equal to or less than 3 participants left after choosing the winners and honorary mentions (if any), then all 3 (or less) people will automatically get 400 DA points.  ^_^  (Poor Mr. PR ... he might lose his job if this happens )
- And the other special case is if two or more people hold the same lucky number.  If two or more people hold the same lucky number, then those two or more people will also get 400 DA points.  In short, every participant who has a lucky number that matches what Mr. PR picks at the end of the contest will get 400 DA points.   ( so the number of random winners selected can be range from a minimum of 3 to a max of ??  <== I guess depends on how lucky you are ^___^ )



*** Full Rules

Below are the rules of the contest (Please read them BEFORE submitting to the contest) :

The fanart must be animé (or your OC in animé style if the description of the contest says it's allowed) and should be related to the topic and/or series listed

The image should NOT be a picture that has been previously posted or shown before.

No hentai or suggestive images, so please don't submit any of that nature. (If you submit any pictures classified in this category, it will be dis-regarded and will not be entered in the contest.)

No COPYING. I understand if you maybe use a picture of the subject to be drawn and gather information (ie. clothing, drawing style ... etc) so that the picture that YOU draw will have the necessary recognizable features of that particular subject, BUT directly tracing, or just directly copying of a picture from a magazine or person does not constitute valid fanart for this contest (or any contest for that matter, so don't submit copied art because it will just be dis-regarded!)

To be fair, only one entry per person please.

Artwork submitted after the last day is not accepted

By submitting artwork for this contest, you are giving me permission to display your artwork on this site and on my "Animé Deviation" website.(Don't worry, proper credit will be given to you. I'm not stealing your picture, just putting it on display)

Winners will be picked by my sisters and I from the eligible entries.

The winners of the contest will be posted no later than 1 week after the last day of the contest

Winners will receive a note stating that he/she has won.

By submitting a picture to this contest, it means that you have read the above rules and agree to abide to them.

How to Submit

All that needs to be done to submit is to post up your picture, and send me a note with the link to your picture. I will respond saying that the picture has been accepted and will then display a thumbnail of the picture here.

Thanks for reading all the rules and getting up to here. Please keep in mind that the objective of this contest is not just to win (ie. although winning is nice if I don't say so myself ), but to have fun drawing interesting and imaginative artwork. So I hope everyone participating will enjoy drawing the artwork and have lots of fun.
