What's new for this year?:
MOAR PRIZES!! Yes folks we are giving out more prizes than last year since let's be honest 190k+ ce was a bit low. A lot of new categorizes, and certain categories will be worth a bit more! Oh Digicom also told me he has a few surprises in store for us!
Prizes:
Categories 1 to 17 will have the same prizes awarded
-
1st Place: 5,069 Ce
2nd Place: 4,069 Ce
3rd Place: 3,069 Ce
Consolation Prize --- Anyone who enters a valid entry will receive 69 ce!
Categories 18 to 19 will have the same prizes awarded
-
1st Place: 10,069 Ce
2nd Place: 9,069 Ce
3rd Place: 8,069 Ce
Consolation Prize --- Anyone who enters a valid entry will receive 69 ce!
Rules:
-
1. Do not steal any ones art and submit it as your own.
2. All art entered must be new art (no resubmitting your past work).
3. No criticism that will make someone cry and go suicidal. Keep it constructive.
4. You can enter THREE pieces of work per category.
5. You are allowed to submit to all categories. Although each category must have its own unique work(s).
6. Do not annoy Digicom or myself as this will most likely get us annoyed. Keep in mind we are judging <69
7. You can edit your art, but if it clearly copies someone's idea or is edited after judging it will not be counted. *So edit it before the deadline <69*
8. Make sure you follow the rules listed for the category you're submitting it for.
9. No porn or rule34 of any kind.
Judges:
All judging will be done by myself and Digicom! We may have a special guest judge, but we will see what happens.
About the both of us:
Digicom and Njthug meet very randomly! Nj was in need of some cash and he saw a sexy Digicom, and asked him if he was looking to buy a few items, but it ended up this business deal was the start of a great friendship! Digicom and Njthug pretty much realized that we are both pretty crazy, and well crazy people belong together. After months n months of persuasion Digi joined Njthug in Eos where they live happily ever after with their wives Misobutt n Taters!
The End!
We are still looking for more judges, and currently the two others we are eyeing are:
- 1. Taylor Swift
2. Miley Cyrus
Certain art pieces might be judged by the community as a whole without you knowing it so in a sense players will be picking a few winners.

Questions you may have:
Will your guild members be submitting art work?
-
Yes we are allowing Eos members to participate in this contest even though Digi and myself are both in Eos we want to keep this contest open to everyone! That means Nick, Ian, Helios, and the mighty Cronus can submit art!
Why are you guys letting your guild members submit artwork?
Since Eos is dead we figure no one will really submit art work from Eos!
What type of artwork can I submit?
-
Anything! It can be handmade artwork, macaroni drawings, a marble statue, a simple drawing on ms paint, or whatever else floats your boat. *Remember certain categorizes this year may ask for specific style of art work*

My Reaper Ribs made it to example-hood. XD
(And now Sol is asking me to make them for him again)

Yo NJ my dawg, I am planning on make a SK comic that is full length with a story line and so on, the story is not funny at all and for the most part, it is going to be my pathtic attempt at making you guys cry. But since the comic is going to far exceed three pages (i noticed the three page limit), is it okay if I only make five pages to make up the prolouge for the story?

@Midnight-Dj --- If it is a comic series you can enter it in the comic area or free-for-all, but we will count it as 3 entries if it is that huge of a comic. Just post the end-result and we will let you know, but it should not be a problem.
@Tev -- I will be asking a favor from you shortly btw (well once we meet on Sk).

Don't panic Thug!
But you are about to crash!

BUT THE INSPIRATION FOR A PIECE.
GYAAAAH.

Wow great job all of you guys n gals are entering some amazing pieces of artwork for sure!
Side-Notes:
A few artists asked me why this contest is very long, so to let you all know last year a lot of the winners complained to me that they wished to enter a lot more art work, but sadly they were unable due to the time constraint. This contest takes place when many of us are busy with real-life exams, job deadlines, or just work. Digicom and I both felt a longer time period will hopefully give everyone a fair chance to enter this contest!
We may or may not add a few more categorizes =0
