ShadAmy Variety Contest
Ok so this will be my first ever held contest!
I have thinking this over and over as well as think of the contests that I have entered before with their themes and I have finally decided :
Fantasia
Classic
Olympics
Now let me explain each theme~
Fantasia :
For those who recognize the name, yes it is relative to Disney's Fantasia and 2000 Fantasia~
But overall, it's open to any fantasy-related ideas, like in legends and myths from Japan, the Native Americans, the Greeks, and fairytales, and etc.
So, for example, you could draw Shadow and Amy as centaurs, mermaids, vampires, spirits, demons (you could look at Inuyasha for another example of that ), even dragons.
Classic :
Basically, it's where you'll draw Shadow and Amy as black and white characters in a classical style - think of the 1920-30s cartoons were. Or the classic anime style of the 80s/90s.
***a tip on this : try looking up the fashion styles during those times as well***
Olympics :
This theme probably explains itself if you watch the Olympics or play the Sonic and Mario Olympic Games. You can draw Shadow and Amy has a team or even competing against each other. And yes it ranges through all the Olympics, from the Winter to Summer. So you can do ice shaking, swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, any event that is in the Olympics.
Why I chose these 3 is because I hardly to never have seen these themes being used.
!!!PLEASE!!!
If you plan to do a scary-related (Nightmare Before Christmas for example) PLEASE keep the gore/bloodiness to a minimum
Same goes with foul language, please beep out or just keep to a minimum, please
NO FETISH PLEASE
No nude
No recoloring/stealing drawings from others
AND NO sending hateful, disrespectful, and/or guilt-tripping comments to any of the contesters
Ok, now into the details~
What I have in mind for prizes is something not what most would do - everyone who submits an entry will receive a prize.
There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places for all 3 of the themes but I want all the contesters to know that they are all winners and that your efforts are appreciated. Because I know and understand that feeling of not winning any places but just honorary mentions without even given a comment from the contest judge. So I don't even know if I did well or not.
And so I will give each of the contesters a free traditionally full colored drawing of either a single character of theirs or a ShadAmy drawing they'd like me draw for them.
I will be the only one judging - I know what I'm looking for
Now before you ask - Traditional, Digital and Literature are allowed.
In writing, please only write in English. Just do your best in writing, I have friends who aren't the greatest with the English language but I understand their writing pretty well so don't feel too pressured about it having to be perfect. What matters is that you gave your best try
Same goes for all of you who will be drawing your entries - just do your very best and most importantly...Have fun~
Each of you can enter up to 3 entries per theme so all together you can do up to 9 entries if you want to.
Yes, you can make an entry for all 3 themes. Each theme will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
I know the feeling of getting so many ideas but I can only pick one so here you can explore your ideas and hopefully will allow you to have more fun and get really creative
Also...Let's keep this just with Shadow and Amy please~
The only additional characters I'll except in this contest will be fan-kids. Just for these 3. Maybe next time I'll widen the range of variety more but for now, let's not get too carried away
Also, you can draw/describe Shadow and Amy in human, gijinka, kemonomimi form if you'd like as well~
AND YOU CAN REMAKE YOUR ENTRY AT ANY TIME. JUST LET ME KNOW
The contest begins now until the 8th of February of the year of 2020.
So you have plenty of time to think up ideas for your entries and do them. But if you ever feel you may need more time, don't be afraid to let me know.
Prizes For All Three Themes
1st place - 1 year membership + ShadAmy full colored drawing + full colored traditional drawing
2nd place - 300 points + ShadAmy drawing + full colored traditional drawing of single character
3rd place - 100 points + Shadamy drawing + full colored traditional drawing of single character
Runners-up - choice of a ShadAmy drawing or a full colored traditional drawing of a single character
Please let me know if you're going to join the contest
I wish you all the best and have fun!
And most importantly - Do your best! I can't wait to see what you all come up with

Merry Christmas Eve + UPDATE 12-24-21
Greetings everyone :thanks: Merry Christmas Eve :hug: I hope you all are well and safe this winter season. :huggle: Not a whole lot has changed since my last updates - been constantly busy with family and our small business. I'm being completely honest when I say this - the passed 4-5 years have been overwhelming for me. From quitting a very toxic working situation, running a small business, family and then fighting an internal battle... Then this virus crisis made it all the more complicated. I cannot stress enough how I've been feeling through these times - guilt, dread, longingness... wanting to quit... and I mean quit... It was never my intention to take years - I am in disbelief that I am saying "years" - to finish art pieces that I owe from my contests. I struggle so much with communicating with others due to traumatic experiences. I know and acknowledge that what has passed is passed... It's the process that's difficult. My mind and body respond on instinct
Figuring My Way Around
It's been an interesting time figuring my way around dA's new layout. I will admit that I think that the "Green Theme" option was a bit of meh-moment to me. Because I honestly thought that it was going to make the layout as it was before the site reboot. Yes, very silly of me but I was unreasonably hopeful. The messaging page is where I've been struggling with most. I was so used to having it all in one page from feedback, notes, watch and groups. I just figured out where my group notifications are and how the layouts of the groups look now. So I was able to make a couple update journals on my ShadAmy and Varian groups. I'm still sticking to messaging on dA strictly on desktop because it seems to mind itself before. Whenever I try to send a note or reply to a note on the mobile version, at least on my end, it shows a whole bunch of what looks like coding text. I definitely hope that isn't what the people who I have messaged in notes last had received. I need to contact the
8.5.21 Update 3 - Step by Step
This past year I honestly think has been not only one of the roughest but also awakening times for me personal. More specifically with my overall health. I've had some bad, rather scary spells. But I am thankful to still be here. The journey will still be bumpy but I do think that I have gotten better compared to a couple years ago. Such as learning to seek and ask for help when needed. And coming to terms with things. Finally acknowledging that the experiences that I had had experienced were as bad as I had first was given the impression of... That the first big step for me. And now working my way forward. One of the biggest "beasts" that I finally had defeated was one that I had carried for over 10 years. Please keep in mind that everyone's upbringing is different. So what you may think and see as nothing much can be something pretty big to others. Especially overtime when said person deals with anxiety and/or depression. For my case, I was told by a supposed local artist in
8.5.21 Update 2 - Learning
Hi there :thanks: My gosh, so much as changed about this site since last year... When I would come on here I would get lost. And I'm still confused to where things are and how to get around on here. But I'll just have to explore and take my time with it. ^^; But what I am most thankful for is that it seems that deviantART has finally and fully updated on both my desktop and mobile devices. It is not lagging as much. AND - I finally got sta.sh working the way it should be. Which is such a relief to me because it is really handy when sharing work-in-progress pieces with people such as contest winners and commissioners. And doing collaboration work too. But contest winners are my main focus now. Since May of last year, I have not drawn anything in CLIP STUDIO Paint. And since June of last year I've been practicing to use ProCreate on my iPad (my first ever iPad). To my followers who have watched me trying to improve my use of the program on my other art account that is on
