EDIT No. 1: Only a week and some odd days to go and I only need 5 more watchers to meet the 100 entries mark. I must admit, I am a bit shocked that this didn't spread more, but hey, what can you do? I suppose people don't care about Lauren Faust autographed work, or they don't like the subject material its on.

EDIT No. 2: I hit the +100 entrants milestone! That means the first bonus prize is active, and an additional prize of a wooden plaque (or digital drawing, winners choice), will be given out! Hooray! One more week for entries!

Regardless of which, a few more watchers and I'll open up the next prize slot.

Also, I want to make a change to the third place prize. If you do not want a premium dA memebership, you can instead choose a full-color and shaded artwork for a show or OC pony(s) . I understand not everyone wants a premium dA membership.

Watcher Contest!


Now that I am back from Bronycon and can devote some time to art again, it's time to announce my first watcher contest! I will be giving away 3 prizes for this contest, one of which I am sure any pony collector out there would love to have! As an added bonus, for every 100 watchers I receive, I will be adding one additional prize as indicated below! I will also have an updated picture of the first place prize tonight when I get home that clearly shows it was signed by Lauren Faust. 

Prizes


1st Place: Handcut and acrylic painted Fluttershy plaque signed by Lauren Faust at Bronycon 2012
2nd Place: Custom wooden plaque or clock made to order (stained or painted) similar to what is in this gallery. Acceptable use artwork only! Woodworking Gallery
3rd Place: 3 Months dA Premium membership OR a full-body, colored and shaded pony(s) of your choice. includes a simple background.
Every 100 watchers: Custom wooden stained plaque (see above gallery)

How to Win


Each active watcher who comments on THIS (I REPEAT, ONLY THIS) journal entry will receive 1 entry for all prizes. Want to double your chance of winning a prize? Share this journal as a journal of your own (link the thumbnail please!), provide evidence of the share  in your comment entry, and you will receive 2 entries! So that is 1 entry for commenting on THIS JOURNAL, and 2 entries for commenting on THIS JOURNAL with a reference to your sharing of THIS JOURNAL. Only one prize per entry and dummy / empty dA accounts with no activity (i.e. created to purely enter this contest) will not be accepted. Important: A comment isn't enough, you have to be a watcher too! Hence...a watcher contest :3

Deadline


You have until midnight on September 30th to enter. Contest winners will be chosen in a livestream immediately after (more details on that later), but you need not attend the livestream to win. 

Shipping of Physical Prizes


Due to the weight involved with some of the prizes, I will ship prizes on my own dollar inside the continental US only. Contest winners who reside outside of the US I will quote the cheapest possible shipping price to, subtract the cost of typical shipping inside the US, and will require you to pay the balance. I don't suspect this will be very much at all, but I have to cover my butt a bit here. At most this could be $10-$15 USD.

Request Info

I do requests because I am trying to improve my art quality, because drawing is relaxing to me after a stressful day, and because I am a NICE GUY :3

Status

First and foremost, please check my Request Status box for, well, my current request status! This will show if I am accepting more requests, how far along i am on your request, or if I am waiting on more information to continue.

Subject Matter

The majority of my requests are for ponies (either in my show-hybridized style or a more show-accurate style). I am also open to other animals as well. As of right now, I do not do bipeds or humanoids (maybe one day!). I ask that all requests be of PG to PG-13 content (no R34 or gore requests please). I will only do three or more characters on a case by case basis.

Complexity

This is what you should expect from me as a request

One Character = Shaded character + Background + Lighting Effects
One Character w/ Complex details = Shaded Character w/ Ambient lighting effects + Simple Background or Splash
Two Characters = Shaded Characters + Splash

I may go above and beyond on some requests, but this is generally on a whim. If I am in the groove or feeling something, I may take it an extra mile.

Time

I work 8-5 Monday - Friday and married with a small child. Needless to say, free time is sometimes hard to come by. However, I will try to keep my request queue short so you will not wait too long. 

Examples

One Character + Simple Background

One Character + Splash

Two+ Characters (Also an example of "Going the extra mile" as this was a personal project)
