CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Well, it's time for the August Coloring Contest! ^^

But, this is actually more of a placeholder post for the contest. Hopefully things will be getting underway soon. Unfortunately I'm leaving on a week long trip tomorrow morning, which could complicate matters ^^;

The artwork is still pending but I've sent a couple of messages and if all else fails I'll be sure to get this thing started once I'm back on the 11th. The deadline will probably be a bit later this month as a result and I'll definitely be reposting the rules once the line art is up

Edit: Well it's a little late on my behalf, but here's the rules.

-You may use any medium, as long as the image is more or less recognizable
-You may interpret the image in any way, creativity is encouraged (within the CAA's rules)
-There's two categories for winning entries, Most Creative and Best Technical
-Have fun! ^^

The deadline is Friday, August 25th.

Luckily, my lineart was approved today! Soo, here it is, the mod-approved work:

Awesome work, Puguni! I can't wait to get started!

Yes, I am actually going to join the coloring contest this month! Reason one is because I lucked out and found it before it was too late, reason two is because it's one last kick before summer is over, and reason three is...well, it sounds like a lot of fun! I can't wait until all the entries start rolling in!

I might enter this time...however I have been in such a horrible art slump!! =_=; I hate it....I want to draw..but nothing is coming out.

this might be what I need though it's really cute!!

Cackles wildly.

Me gots ideas! Me gots ideas!!

Awesome lineart Puguni! I am going to use colored pencils this time because I have a technique I want to try out. Unfortunately, using this technique will probably take a very long time, and I don't know how good it will look when I scan it back in.

Cute lineart Puguni, many possibilities for creativity. Looking forward to seeing all the entries this month.

ZOMG this looks like fun.

I'm looking forward to them too. <3 <3 I colored this a while ago, so I'm very interested in what other people see in my lineart.

Go creative, everyone!

I'm so excited, I'm almost half-way done with mine. XD I got inspired last night, and worked until about 3AM. o_o I just need to do some shading and detailing and stuff. And cleaning up...that kind of thing. I'm really excited, though!

Kya!! I LOVE yours!! And the brushes you used give such a cool texture! I also like the theme of daydreaming, it totally works!

I'm still working on mine, but if I'm lucky (and I work hard), I'll have it in by late tonight or tomorrow. It's so much fun to see the different perspectives that everyone has on the picture; everyone's is so different! But they all look really cool!

Chibi, I have always loved your photoshop skills, and this is no exception.

Kewl Girl, I actually really like your background. And yes, the butterfly is really good. I like how it glows.

Puguni, you should post your colored version too. I really love seeing the original artist's rendition. Now, I must print and pull out the colored pencils.

Lovely entries chibi and Kewl Girl.

Chibi, I love the texture of the leaves, the whole image is very professional looking.

Kewl Girl, very cute image; the grass has nice perspective within the texture.

I have an IDEA!!!

*goes to print it off because she has no time to waste..*

Kewl Girl: Aww it's so cute!! I love how the girl's hair looks like a flower beginning to bloom (or a strawberry)

chibi: I like it alot!! but..what is it sitting on? Is it a tree?

Man, I don't know what the rush is. XD Isn't the deadline at the end of the month? But anyway, do what you will. <3

I am going to do that, but I wanted to do it toward the end maybe? When people color this, I want their own ideas, and don't want it to be influenced by my rendition. ^^

Go ahead and post it Puguni!! ^_^ no one copied mine when I posted it...

PLEASE!!

Okie...here is my entry..^^; I added a lot to it, I hope it's ok.. It's a mermaid's first view at a sprite. She loved it so much that she put it in a bubble to look at it... She will let it go when it wakes up and they will be the best of friends!! ^-^v

I had a lot of fun with this!! thanks Puguni and good luck to everyone else!!!

I am posting early because I move into my dorms this weekend and college starts next week..@.@

Whoa! That's crazy awesome! You took great liberties with the drawings though. It's a imaginative rendition, anyway.

Talk about thinking outside the box. Nice^^

Well, here's my original coloring of the picture. ;D

I'm in no way entering the contest though!

WOAH!! totally opposite for whatI thought it was..XDDDD

That's awesome Puguni!! Very creative!!

wow...

Awesome job you first three entrys!
kewl girl! everythings very nicely done!

Chibi... I just love all that stuff coming out of the hair!

and C-R what a wonderfully awesome idea! I love it... all the blues... and mermaids are just the coolest!

well here is mine! I don't really know... I just had fun with it... I hope you guys like it!

Oh its to big to upload... so please go here to see the fullsize version... the small version doesn't show nearly all of the details!

FullSize version

I hope the colors aren't to messed up.. my monitor wasn't working right... So i have almost absolutely no idea what the colors are... I just kinda randomly picked colors and then used them... hopefully they don't clash to badly!

EDIT-

Oh wow nice puguni! Its like fire!.... Which is what I almost did... I am glad I didn't now!

FWOAH!!! Vernhal that rocks!!!!
It's all sci-fiey... like a lab baby...it's coool!!
