[UPDATE] I *finally figured out how to set up gallery so you can now submit to all gallery folders, submissions will be approved then viewable by all. Please submit art to proper gallery folders![/UPDATE]

We're hosting our first group contest, anyone who is part of the group can join, if you're not a member yet, feel free to join the group now and participate ^^ Please read whole blog below, if you still have questions just ask.

THEME
"FanArt Frenzy"

DETAILS
So you job is to choose a character or characters from the list/gallery and make some fan art; simple enough, have fun, trying something new, something different. Come up with something amusing, insane, frenzy-ish, or awesome. You can draw yourself foaming at the mouth stalking the hot comic character, fangirl-ishly asking for the main character’s autograph, heroically saving the shy character from some evil villain, or change them into dozens of different species. You can make a mini comic, a page just full of that character, sculpture (or other non paper/digital art), what ever you want. Sorry but no story/written entries for this contest.
You’ll be drawing other members’ comic characters! Its a fan art contest to give people and their original comic characters some love Here’s the hard part, choose who you want to draw.
You can do fan art entries for up to 3 different users.
[Look through the list to choose] or [the group’s gallery]. Take a look, learn the characters and their roles in the comic and then let your imagination run wild with the “fanart frenzy” theme!
Judging will be based on who best captures the “FanArt Frenzy” theme.
HINT:Drawing a fan art of less popular comics will earn you extra points with the judges.

RULES

• You can choose characters from [the list] or any comic characters from the comics in [the group’s gallery]. NO entries of the mascot or judge's characters (no Off-White and no The Forgotten entries).

• All contest entries must be made for this contest, do not submit pre-existing fan art.

• Only do entries of COMIC characters not other OCs that aren’t a party of a users comic.

• All entries must be submitted to DA (and the group) from June 26th through August 21st.

• Somewhere in the artist comments please put a link to the #caninecomics group and that it is for the contest.

• Give proper credit to the character’s creator in your artist comments. Example: character name here (C) :dev user name here:

• Submit entries to the gallery folder [Contest Art].

• Remember we have some younger views, so please, no entries that need a mature filter.

• Do not use premade lines.

• If you use any brushes, give proper credit to their creator(s).

• Everyone can enter up to 3 separate entries for the contest.

• Each entry can have one or multiple chars that belong to one user, so you can do 3 different entries with 3 different users characters.

• You can do several characters from the same users comic in one entry.

• Even if you enter 2 or 3 entries, only one of them can win a prize.

• I shouldn’t have to say this but just in case: Only drawing your own comic characters does NOT count for this contest, the goal is to draw other people’s comic characters. You CAN draw your character interacting with the other user's characters though.

Deadline
Entries must be submitted to the group between June 26th - August 21st . We will stop taking entries at 11:59.59 pm EST August 21st.
