Mezzberry's Request Corner - A Contest of Whimsy and Boredom!
It's probably not a big surprise at this point that I spend most of my drawing time on long, hard (giggity) time-consuming projects. So it occurred to me today that it might be fun to end each week on a quick, fun piece with no brain-draining preplanning or mountains of little detail (not that I don't love both, but sometimes I need a break from the routine ^^). So I've decided - in very limited and control-freaked capacity - to open requests into the indefinite future :D
Now, this is important, so I will bold AND caps it:
I CAN ONLY DO ONE REQUEST PER WEEK!
For a number of reasons, I have to strictly limit requests I take. I can take one per week from here, and one per week from my matching topic on my DeviantArt page. If I'm feeling really, really saucy I might try to do more, but don't expect more than one per week from each site. And the following guideline is important enough to also bold, but not necessarily capitalize:
Every week, the request to be drawn will be chosen in secret by me, based simply on how much fun it sounds to draw.
Call me selfish, but ideally I want this to be something fun I can look forward to at the end of the week, not something I feel obligated to do. If enough time goes on and this 'contest' is and remains successful, I'll try to widen the pool to two requests per week, with the second chosen by random lottery of some kind.
Anyway, no one will know the winning request until it's finished and posted, so keep checking back to see if your submission was the winner! ^^
So, here are the aforementioned control-freak rules, in both regular version (for those who want an explanation) and the short short version (for those who quite justifiably think I talk too much):
RULES
- Requests will be open every Friday, from 9 AM to 9 PM EST. Please maintain a limit of one request per week per person. If you live in a time zone where you are asleep for every one of those hours, I will make exceptions. And if for some reason I'm not here to open the requests on time, go ahead without me ^^
- the subject matter for your requests is wide open. Can be fetish, non-fetish; girl or guy (I prefer drawing women, but I might be in the mood to draw a guy that week, who knows?). If it's a fetish request, it can be plenty of other things beyond hypnosis, so long as it follows my usual rules just below. Honestly, the more surprising and creative your idea is, the more likely it'll get picked.
- the usual rules for my artwork (aka 'list of won'ts') apply 1) no hardcore porn, images must maintain DA standards; 2) no sexualization of death, violence, or unwilling abuse of a submissive 3) no nude / sexualized likenesses of real people / actors 4) no sexualized depictions of underage characters
- try to keep your requests down to a single character. You can request two doing something together if you want, but unless I'm really hot for the idea it'll probably hurt your chances.
- keep your requests equally simple - one to two sentences describing what you want to see. If it takes you a little longer to give a blurb on your character, that's okay :-) What I'm trying to avoid with this rule is overspecific details, things like 'I want so-and-so with her arms up like this and her foot turned inward like this while arching her back and holding the Scepter of Guldorn while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and wearing her uniform seen in Episode #347 and these exact kind of spiral eyes.' That level of specification is a privilege reserved for paying customers ;-)
- please provide a link to a reference image of your character of choice in the description. What I don't know could fill a Spirit Library, and there's a lot of characters and franchises I'm not familiar with. Might I be convinced to draw Kagumi Lightbreast from Battle Valkyrie Academy Nocturne Remix? Certainly. But not if I have to hunt down a decent pic of her ^^
- Original characters are more than welcome for request submissions. But obviously, including reference pics is downright essential in this case. And I'm going to kick myself for doing this, but for the sake of injecting a touch of impartiality into these shenanigans, my own OCs are disqualified from being used for these requests (this may seem silly now because I've only shown, like, two of them; but I've got an army of sexy OCs I'll be deploying on your all very soon :D).
- if your request happens to get chosen and drawn, you aren't allowed to make a new request submission for this contest for at least a month. Gotta try and give others a chance :-)
- IMPORTANT - after the winning request is chosen every week, all the requests made that week are disqualified / no longer to be considered. This is meant to keep people active in these topics, and to keep me from having to sift through weeks of ideas every week. This is not the type of request topic where you can put out an idea once and expect me to get around to it eventually. If your's isn't picked, you are welcome (and encouraged) to make the same request next week and any week after, if you are passionate about the character / idea in question. To be honest, that kind of determination can only help your chances.
RULES - THE SHORT, SHORT VERSION
- the winning request each week will be chosen by me, based on how fun it sounds to draw
- you won't know who won until it's drawn and posted, so check back often on the weekend / beginning of the week!
- requests open every Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM EST. One request per person per week, please ^^
- the request can be just about anything in terms of subject matter
- my usual list of rules and wont's applies
- try to only request a single character
- keep the description of your requests simple, 1-2 sentences max please.
- please provide a link to a reference pic of your character when posting the request
- OCs are welcome!!
- if your request gets chosen and drawn, you can't make a new request in this topic for at least a month.
- after the winning request is picked each week, all requests are considered null so we can start again fresh the next week. You are more than welcome to submit the same request every week.
Simply put, the better you follow these rules, the better your chance of getting picked ^^
I hope you all like this idea, and I'm looking forward to reading your posts :D
