Okay. This isn't your typical contest, perse; it's not a grab for free character art!

YOU DON'T DRAW STYX OR HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ANY COMPLICATED REFERENCE SHEETS. Yay.


I'm interested in getting a tattoo. But, thing is, I want something unique and my own -- not your typical Chinese character that probably translates to 'beef and broccoli', not a 'tribal' design, not a barcode, a biohazard symbol... etc.

Now, this is entirely up to you as to what you draw. However, I am particularly interested in having a moth tattooed to myself, and you can guaruntee that an image of one will rack up the chances of having your art permanently inked into my skin.

Now, as far as anything goes picture-wise, again, it's all up to your imagination. And, again, moth = key. The moth's wings do not have to be intricately marked! But if you need ideas, I do also like butterflies, dragonflies, dragons, or, hey, if you can come up with an interesting scribble, I am open to your skills entirely.

Please note: I'm not big on colour, so that makes this easier for you! Just thin or thick-lined lineart will do. (But if you feel as though it could do better with colour, it's your call.)

The nice thing, on top of this, is that I may get more than one tattoo -- so if I use your design, you'll be recieving something in thanks.

I'll be paying via portrait spaces, since that's easiest for everyone, it seems.

Three portrait spaces will go to the design I like most and use.
One (or two, depending) portrait spaces will go to all the other tattoos I use / plan to use.
One portrait space (depending) will go to those that I won't be getting tattooed, but it looks as though a lot of effort was put into creating the design.

This will end sometime within a month, so about mid-January unless an entry comes in that brings everything to a halt.

Questions? Whisper Styx or IM me on AIM (heroinflower).

Comment to enter. (If you are not a devART user, get a hold of me via the two contacts seen above.)

Good luck!

UPDATE: Prizes have been raised!
People, as well, may still enter. I'm extending the contest date since there are a few entries that have yet to come in. Thank you for your patience. :}
And a hint to those still enterting: don't make the moth too plain -- give it style! (It's not bad if it is, though.)
