You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

So...if I laid the crayons on the paper in a pattern on the paper so it looked like a picture, this would only be using "Crayons and a white sheet of paper," right?

Naw, not a serious question! xD

@Eurydice/Aphrodite: I feel sorry for you two because it has taken several attempts at spelling out rules for Section 1, yet I don't think it's understood quite yet.

Oh well. All part of the job, right?

Oh, and on the note of no Spiral Spy:

Now I no idea of what to make. :(

Can we freeze time until I get some Blender skills and a working Spiral Knights rig? ...Oh, we can't? Darn....I'll have to think of some other idea.

Clarifaction: Category 2

Just before I go jump into/finish this project I'm making...

Is it legal for me to say, make a song and produce a video for it that includes scenes from SpiralSpy? Or is that not acceptable?

Think the gms said no

Think the gms said no spiralspy for anything. Has to be your own creation. Song-wise, I think it's ok.

I have a question!~

I posted an entry for Category 1(crayons only) and I accidentally wrote the date and my ign in pen at the end (was in a rush to upload it ><). Is that alright or should I edit my drawing and write 2/14/13 & Miabot in crayon also? Just curious~ I just don't want to suddenly be DQ'ed for something silly .-.

<3 Miabot

**EDIT: never mind! I just edited it to crayon :x

i plan of getting my reward

i plan of getting my reward from black kat event before stating drawing and making some more 3d for this event

sadly i cant manage to drop a book no matter how many kat i encounter reducing the time i can put on polishing the quality of my work for this event

i would be a shame of not getting a book before the event end for the first time

For the paper and crayons...

Do we have to use the crayons ONLY to draw and/or write, or can we make a crayon sculpture on the card if need be?

Yes, they do.

The only restriction is you have to use crayons and white paper. What you do with those 2 supplies is up to you and your creativity!

Also does it count when we bring to mecha's together? (Guessing not since it's love to npc not love to npc from npc)
No, it needs to be a valentine from you to an NPC.

Another question! Is it okay if it's a Rocket puppy statue?
Also can we make Valentines with other monsters? Like love puppies and wolver and lumbers?

Yes, any monsters, even the special rare ones, are eligible for the event.

Another question! If 3 people worked on a video do they each get their reference prize? Or do they have to share?

Storytime At the Keep

Here is my valentine to the Black Kats. They have been the object of a lot of hatred lately with this new event going on and they deserve some love. I think the whole incident with the Moorcraft Archives is just a misunderstanding. The Kats just have a voracious hunger for knowledge and a great story but they don't quite understand how books work. They just need someone to teach them how to read. Hence, my illustration of me - Korhl - having storytime with a Black Kat in a quiet corner of Candlestick Keep.
Hope you guys enjoy and remember, Don't fight Kats, Fight Illiteracy! Peace through Education!

This is an entry for the "Knock Yourself Out" category.

My in game name is Korhl.

I also do custom character portraits if anyone is interested. Check out my etsy page or message me in game.

Edit: I am interested in the elevator pass prize.

Aphrodite? Still judging?

Hey Aphrodite even though the contest is over. Lots of people didnt put this:

- Your entry must have your knight name and the date, February 14, 2013, appear somewhere to verify this is original work for this event.

Is that still okay? Or will all the people who didnt write that be Disqualified? I hope not because that would be REALLY sad since lots of people entered with out it :/
