Nijigen Art Contest: I would like to thank everyone who submitted artwork for their time and talent, as well as the effort they put forth in helping me add content to this site to better promote Nijigen.
For those who didn't win, there is always next time. And as long as I can keep money in the coffers, or motivate artists in another manner, these contests will continue. The deadline for submissions for the next contest will be December 1st, with a 1st place reward of a custom item, compliments of Waador; but, this round, there will be no 2nd place; I have my reasons. Rym will be judging the art contest, availing me (Circy!) the possibility of winning, but in the event that I get 1st place Waador will be under no obligation to award me a custom item, unless, that is, he wants to. ;]
Below are results, images, and comments for the third quarter of the 2003 Nijigen Art Contest. Honorable mentions sorted in no particular order.

Artist: Blue Flower*
Design: Graphite
Status: First Place
Notes: Overcoming the odds, forcing herself to do better, and bludgeoning everyone else out of her way ... Blue Flower* wins this quarter. So much effort, a beautiful hand... Very well done.

Artist: Manic Fox
Design: Animation Shop
Status: Second Place
Notes: This is the most badass thing I've seen so far. Also, unless you've made .GIF animations yourself, you probably have no idea how much effort it takes to produce them.

Artist: tasteslikellama
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A lonely mountain goat herder girl with her goat, standing in front of a barren, poignant mountain range. She looks sad, but it may just be indigestion from eating goat food.

Artist: Rym
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: The Dark Elf of Dark Elven Form, waiting to fondle his next victim. Clutching his mysterious stave, his pointy ears are alertly listening for visiters (and yes, that is fog).

Artist: Lucille
Design: Graphite/Colored Pencils
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A portal fairy done in what I presume to be graphite (although it is light brown, so it could be colored pencils). She's very picturesque, but her wings seem a bit limp...

Artist: Circ Aloriath
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A young Elven lad sitting in the great library of Elvendsraa, reading a book --- or at least keeping up the appearance of reading it. Ignore the stuff in the upper-left corner. >.>;

Artist: Circ Aloriath
Design: Colored Pencils
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: Some precious tessaberries from the heights of La'Tira, with venemos pokers protecting the precious fruit! ... or something like that. I really have no idea what kind of berries they are.

Artist: Lostin Syn
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A manticore and a samurai facing it off. No telling who is going to win this fight, but we can always hope that Siver's creation fails in its task of world domination via stupidity.

Artist: Lostin Syn
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A mercenary taking a break, and a moment of quiet contemplation, from his task of slaying countless rabbits and field mice that come in his way on a day-to-day basis.

Artist: Maria Ramirez
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A cockatrice, that legendary bird of birds, who hasn't yet been born into Nijigen ... but, well, we have hope, damnit! If we can have manticores we should have cockatrice, too!

Artist: Maria Ramirez
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: I honestly have no idea. Come to think of it, I should just leave it at that... *Circ Aloriath wonders if moonbeasts spawn little demons.*

Artist: Raiyo-shun
Design: Paint Program
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: An ogre lofting his pick-axe, ready to harvest the entrails of his enemies with glee! Although there is room for improvement, believe me, I know how hard it is to make something (anything) in paint.

Artist: Maria Ramirez
Design: Markers
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: This is yet another version of the infamous Lakai Sonchin! More versions are likely to be pending in the next contest... these things are more popular than sex at a Mardi Gras.

Artist: Raiyo-shun
Design: Paint Program
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: A warrior ambling about without his shirt, so he can show off his sexified abz! Better not make fun of him, or he'll cleave you in two with that big, curved... umm. Swad!

Artist: Rym
Design: Graphite
Status: Honorable Mention
Notes: BOOTY CALL! Do you need to talk about your personal needs, desires, wants, loathings? Just type .fairy MSG, and this little hotty will tell you what to do!
