Digimon-Sleepers

And so, as promised with the last delay, the October update is being posted a week after the delayed one! Well, a bit short of a week, because Xuza (who uploads the updates) is flying away for a short while tomorrow, which is also why there's again no screen shots with this update. But they'll be worked on when she returns, for now, enjoy episode fourteen, 'Trick of the Voice'! There's a new profile, as well as a profile update, to go with the events of the episode.

Episode 14: Trick of the Voice

We'd also like to take this opportunity to announce that we'll be going on a few-month break, to try and catch up with both episodes (our buffer's run out) and art. Fingers crossed for long-missing stuff such as CD Covers. Ideally, we're hoping to be back on February 1st! In the mean time, we'll be running our first Sleepers contest!

CONTEST

We have three categories for you guys to choose from which you can illustrate, those categories are:
Hobbies: one of the Sleepers Tamers and their Digimon enjoying a hobby. This could be something that has been mentioned in Sleepers (Blaire's dancing), or something you think the Tamer would have as a hobby.
Late at night/sleeping: Simple. Tamer and their Digimon at night. They could be up late reading a book, or tucked up in bed! Just make sure it's at night time!
Out and about: Tamer and their Digimon outside. It could be in the country side, or in the city, as long as they're out somewhere, we're all good!

Entries will be judged on: Creativity, Interaction, and Completion
Creativity: Posing, overall interesting-ness, whether the mood fits the scene in question, and so on.
Interaction: If there are multiple characters, make it interesting rather than just having them stand around idly. If the scene had just one character, include some emotion or prop interaction to help suggest what is going through their head.
Completion: Colors, backgrounds… A vague suggestion of a background is better than blank whiteness, it need not be anything crazy detailed, just something.

OVERALL RULES
Keep it PG-13. No extreme nudity/sexual themes. Basically, if you’re not allowed to post it on DeviantART, it’s too much. Suggestive themes and implied content are fine.
No tracing or stealing! Pieces have to be your own, original work. No copying off of other artists - this results in automatic disqualification.
New art only. Sorry, but to be fair to everyone, your entry has to be something new that’s created for the contest.
Multiple entries are allowed, however only one can place. The highest ranked of your entries will be the one to place. For example, if you won first and third, your first place entry would keep its rank, and the third place entry would be automatically disqualified from the rankings. This keeps it fair for everyone.

NOTES
Entries will be scored individually, based on the criteria mentioned above. They will not be compared to other entries aside from their numerical score value.
If you have any concerns about character accuracy (such as outfits, more personality details, and so on), just drop us a line and ask.
We will not ‘pre judge’ entries. This means you cannot send us a work in progress and ask “Does this look okay?”
Feel free to change already-posted entries as many times as you like up until the deadline.

DEADLINE
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 1ST 2015
Deadline subject to be pushed back, if we feel the contest needs more time.

PRIZES
FIRST PLACE: Character cameo in a future Digimon Sleepers Intermission episode. As we had some difficulty fitting a new character into the plot itself last time, this time it has to be an intermission episode. Don’t worry, it won’t be a cheesy holiday special . Cameo includes profile art by xuza for your Tamer, Baby-Rookie Digimon, and the higher evolution that ends up showing up in the intermission episode, as well as at least one screen shot. Plus a dynamic illustration of your Tamer and Digimon in any form up to their Mega level. drawn by xuza and coloured by H-Boogie
[For clarity, that means one human and one Digimon, not a whole evolutionary illustration.]

SECOND PLACE: A dynamic (not still, generally with some kind of interaction), colour picture of your Tamer character and their  Digimon in any form up to their Ultimate level, drawn by xuza and coloured by H-Boogie. You’ll also receive a written drabble (Length Example) from bluster-squall on a topic of your choice, provided it’s Digimon-related.
