i dont know.... it could also be that the great forum gods somehow felt the raw power and intensity of my drawing that no mere spoiler tags could contain it. so in that vein it is only apropiate that you give me whatever prize or thing??? your supposed to give. lol.

I know it says 

• Topic of Artworks can be about anything.

but just in case, are there going to be monthly themes, or no?

 

This seems like fun.

This seems like fun.

There can be a theme for each month, we all can discuss it in here before that month, just before contestants start submitting things, so nobody would complain about it.

Or, to be more precise; everyone can submit their own theme suggestions for each month; so we can add it as a "suggested themes for months"

 

So everyone; please feel free to suggest themes for each month. Fill the following form Thanks in advance.

wooow, there were so many holidays? o.O

I never know when what is

 

the only thing I wouldn't do out of this list is independence day, because it sort of differs per country when that is

(eg. it's May 5th for us and in France they celebrate it July 7th and in Indonesia.. I think August 27th?)

[Flicker]

I want Leo to tell me in this thread that modelling counts as art >_> then I'll edit this post~

 

Well, it's past 6am, so just in case I pass out~

 

If what I was asking about is allowed theeeeeeeeeen :
