CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

( Mod approved, expect it to be moved to a sutiable section shortly ^^)

Alright, this is a contest where illustration skills, creativity and connecting a character with a suitable background are quite sentral.

It basicly means that the contest is going to senter around a character design of your own, a senario will be constructed to point you to what kinda area we are looking for. Also a visual character (drawing or computerised material) a background (same) and a typed history/bio/personality.

So, lets begin shall we

Area: Castle under fire, nightime

( Background plays a part too )

So there is a castle under attack from enemies. You can for example have your character inside the castle or outside in the battlefield. The character don't have to be clashing against the enemies, you can if you want too ^^

It don't have to be a humans only senario ^^ Be creative and lets see where this leads.

Here are the awards who will be dealt if this turns out to be a success.

Most creative design.
Most creative background.
Best thechnical design.
Most exciting bio/personality/history for the main character.

And, there will be a stand alone winner at the end.

( I hope this won't die out, if it is a success then it may become a monthly contest ^^)

Best of luck to all submitters

So, a castle under siege? Ok. SOunds interesting.. but I mostly don't join things like this.. but I will give it a shot XD ok? May take a little while.. but I will work hard to get it done!

I think I'll give it a go. When's the deadline?

28 September ^^

Aww...I hope I can try for it, it sounds so cool...must find time...

Humm looks like this will be fun.

I’m in.

i will totally do this....if i can come up with something, this will be fun

Woah, many people here at a short notice ^^

Well, pm me if you are wondering about anything conserning this ^_^

I will TRY to enter...*glares at college and work schedule*

Hmmm...if I can find the time, this sounds like fun! I'll try to join it and get something in before the 28th. XD School's got me kind of busy, but I'll see what I can do.

I just hope this kinda kicks-off in a nice fashion, so that it may be used in the comming months.

Wow.. now I have the FREAKIN awesome artists to compete against.. I am sooo gunna lose..

Hehe Nami, you can win if your creativity is really outbursting the others, the thecnical section is hard, but the creativity section plays a huge role here ^^

Backgrounds... oh boy...I think the only backgroud I've done was a simple sky and grass thing XD

Rather dumb question, but does the character have to be new, or can we use an original character we already have?

Normally, with my insane schedule this semester I might hesitate at doing this, but I have a week long field trip that involves 12+ hour rides there and back, so I should have ample time to play with this.

And awesome idea for a contest, loads of fun. Can't wait to see what people come up with!

I would prefer a new character, so that there will be a new character on each month if this is properly composed ^^

I'm in ^^ give me a few days ^^

Sweet. Sounds like a plan. Thought I'd better ask, and it's a good thing I did. *runs off to make plans*

Before I start, let me get this straight:

Each contestant comes up with their own original character.
A scenario is chosen by the Design Contest host.
It can be drawn freehand or using computer software.
There needs to be a background and some information about the history and personality of the character (a bio).


Is that right Jaden? I had a bit of trouble comprehending what you wrote (is English your first language?)

Thanks for organising this, I'll get right on it.

Oh, well I am Norwegian, sorry for the possible typos ^^

Yes, quite right ^^
