Contest entry!

This is the finished version of my entry for the TheOtaku.com breast cancer awareness anime art contest (all current entries).

And damn it's sweet, if I do say so myself!







I'm already seeing bits where I needed to have done something else, but I NO LONGER CARE. So, if you crit it I'm going to totally ignore you because it's done and over with and I'm not actually going to change it. Wheeeeee!

And yeah, I will sell prints if anyone wants a picture of a sad blue-haired Gothy moppet with eyeballs so big they make her look like a giant insect - it's 11 x 17" for $14 (including shipping within the US, for elsewhere, add $3. If you're in town or catch me at a con, it's $12 - the extra $2 is for the mailing tube I have to put it in. :)

And as a bonus, the real version doesn't have my signature and URL so bright and obnoxious: that's for Web display so if it gets taken and put anywhere else, people can find me.

Now to go upload it to theotaku.com.



All thanks to [livejournal.com profile] batwrangler and her reference photos of awesomeness!

That is indeed damn sweet. Loving the hair.

Thank you! :D I can't beleive it didn't occur to me to make it blue until after I'd looked at approximately one thousand million pictures of Gothic Lolitas on Deviantart. XD I was debating whether it should be blonde or brunette, and neither of them seemed appropriate.

Oh, wow, the color looks great and the insect eyes are gorgeous. What are the prizes again?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

First and second place get a PSP3. Third through eighth place get a Wii. :D Cross your fingers for me!

Very nice!
Yeah, I dropped the ball on getting my entry done... I've been working on other artwork and packing. >

:D Thanks!

I got focused on it and it wouldn't leave my head, so I had to get it out. Hopefully it'll be worth it. :D

Damn that's good. Just looked through the entries so far and this is in my Top 10 at least.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
THank you!

There's no telling what's in the pipeline - they have a picture approval process, presumably to prevent people from uploading porn or official art, and they say it can take up to 48 hours. I'm assuming that the artists who take a long time on their pics will ahve done them all this weekend, so they'll be uploaded and released over the next couple of days. Hm...

Nice job! Good luck! XDDD

[identity profile] rurounitriv.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks - and good luck to you too! Maybe the two of us can walk away with the PS3s. *snicker*

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I think everyone on my f-list entering should win one ... and then they'd be all "Why did all these win? INVESTIGAE!"

[identity profile] rurounitriv.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously because your flist is teh awesome. XD

Why, no, I'm not biased in the least. *snerk*

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they are. XD

That really is gorgeous, and rather wistfully sad, with the phantom arm. I love the blue hair, it's so right.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Most of the entries were all "Fight for a cure!" or on the theme of hope, or just the artist's own character with a pink ribbon. So I got obstinate and wanted to do one that was totally not hopeful. :D

Although I still have one lurking in my head that I'm not doing for thsi contest, based off of one of [livejournal.com profile] badnoodles' suggestions: the overly-endowed anime babe with a self-examination how-to card, and the thought of "I'd better pack a lunch because this is going to take all day!" It makes me snigger, which proves that I am really a twelve-year-old boy.

It's good to be reminded of why it's so important to fight for a cure, of what's already lost. The image has just got a lot of impact.

Oh, man. I think you so need to do it. I'm a thirty-five-year-old woman falling out of her chair laughing at the image, which is just proof that it has universal appeal. *G*

good luck! This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/ScorpionOcean/awareness_by_scorpionocean.jpg) is what I'm entering! Remember if you win, I want to see pictures dammit!

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
THanks! And good luck to you, too! XD

[identity profile] flamika.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's really awesome. I really like the way the colors of the ribbons and her hair complement each other.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I was trying to make sure the pink ribbon would pop out and keep her from being entirely black and white. XD

[identity profile] frostedelves.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Fingers crossed for ya! :D I'm entering too if I get it done in time.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck! XD And thanks!

Dang, I wish I could draw.

And, I wonder when/if the next volume of Qwan is coming out....

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
No clue. There's gotta be something weird going on with it - either it's on hiatus in Japan or there's problems with the licensing - because it's been over a year. I hooooooope it comes out!

Damn, child, I am impressed. I like it a lot better with the color. I thought the b/w looked kind of sulky - now she looks bereft. Beautiful.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Heeee! Thanks! XD

Mello hates breast cancer.

Heee. Yes, yes he does. :D

i love love love her cel-style hair, and the ghostly hand.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
THank you! :D

[identity profile] flyingpeachbun.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
That looks great! I think you definitely have a shot at winning ;3 Goodluck!

I'm still working on mine >o> I'll probably be uploading it the last minute on the 20th... I know I won't win, but it's worth a shot~

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck! :D

in addition to all the dead-on comments above, her defiant expression in her lips is perfect!

good luck!
