Format thingy from x3 her contest made me finally decide on which one to have... I will be adding refs later and thinking of a due date!

THESE RULES APPLY FOR EACH COUPLE

Please make sure you READ EVERYTHING!

Please pardon if the rules are quite strict and the information is kinda long. But this contest is for my friends after all, this is to respect their wishes of what they want for THEIR couples, including my own. Which is why I have put all the Information I need in for this, for them.

Main rules

Please follow the Rules!


NO
Porn


THIS RULE IS FOR THE JUDGES
You guys know who you are, but I'm NOT saying who the judges are. I'm am Just letting you all know even if you are a judge you CAN enter this contest still. The only thing you must NOT do is vote for your OWN work. Vote for anyone else's but NOT your work. After all I wanna be fair ya know

ALSO!


Profiles for the main characters have been provided ( See: WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? ) On just the main characters. So stick to the personalities. Some may now have personalities on the thumbnails that have been provided as refs. If they are not there, do two OR one of the following:

Go by the rules in the couples which says 'HOW THEY ACT' and follow that instead.
If you have the chance, go browse the person's gallery and look at pictures for how their character acts and take from there. But PLEASE stick with how they act and keep it clean, got it?


You also may change the outfits on couples!
BUT!
Each couple has a set rule. Some couples even have little extra notes attached to them, but sure to -READ- them please.


Please follow the Rules!


NO
submitting OLD artwork. it must be NEW artwork. Its cheating if you use old as it means -no- effort has gone into your picture, sorry.


COMICS
If you do a Comic about one of the couples, the maximum of pages is 5. Any more and I can't enter it, sorry. So make sure its 5 or less pages, please.
FANFICS
You may Do a fanfic if you want, BUT it has to be a oneshot, please.




NO
Copying other people's ideas. Come up with your own please. NO tracing


CHARACTERS
You can add your own characters if you wish, but you would need a reason WHY they are there. So only add your own characters if you have a reason behind it please.
Like for example: They're there because they are double dating or something.


BE CREATIVE!
Sooo, The characters DON'T have to be done in JUST Sonic style. If you wish to do them as any of these other choices:
Anthro, Anime/humans, Robots or Ponies/Dragons. Or ANY style, even if its your own.
Feel free to do so, variety would be nice to see <3. If your still unsure about this, feel free to note me please <3.


PROBLEMS/EXTEND
If their are any problems, for example you need more time for your entry. Then drop me a note and let me know please. If you are needing more time I will extend the contest date to another date to give you more time to work.
Be aware I will only extend the contest date ONCE.


QUESTIONS
If there are any other questions you wish to ask, if you are unsure about. Drop me a comment or note please.


TIPS
I know this is meant to be a lovey dovey sort of thing, but if you are -really- stuck. You can do an action type thing.

Like damsel in distress, hero saves the girl from danger, just been in a fight and laughing it off, working together as a team or a re-united scene.
You could even do them based on couples from movies/Fairytales. Examples: Sandy & Danny (Grease), Ariel & Eric (little mermaid), Romeo & Juliet(movie has the same name),Baby & Johnny(dirty dancing) and so on.

Hope this will help you out, its just in case you get stuck on lovey dovey stuff, here is more options.
Any questions about it, ask me please <3.

Be creative as you wish. I want to see how imaginative/creative you all are! You could have the couples in a city, forest, swimming, at a fun fair/theme park. Anything! However since I want you to be creative, I would like you to come up with ideas specially for the scene/background where one of the couples are either being playful, teaseful or romantic.

You can also do the couples in ANY type of season. Summer, Winter, Spring or Autumn. OR even have them on Holiday visiting another place Examples: Spain, Greece, Disneyland etc. Use what I have put about their love to help you think of ideas and just use your imagination. But be sure to stick to their personalities best as you can please. You could also put a little story behind your pictures if you wish to explain whats happening, why the couple is there etc. Feel free to do so, it'll add to detail not just in the picture, but the reason itself.

Come on! Here's your chance to use your creativity and imagination here! Let's see how all lovey dovey, Romantic, Lovely & Cute You can be!

If you are stuck on what to think of here are a few cute/romantic/playful Ideas to help you out. But only apply this to the couples you think WOULD do this sort of stuff.


The couple could be snuggled up in bed, in Pj's reading a book together / watching a movie / Pillow fight.


The couple could be snuggled up together gazing at the stars / sitting by a lake / Watching the sunset or sunrise.


The couple could be having a playful race / a game of tag / hide and seek / Maybe a play fight.


The couple could be dining together in a restaurant / cafe / a picnic.


The couple could be dancing in the rain / Hugging in the rain / Singing in the rain!

Those are just a few examples. Use them to your advantage to be creative. As I do hope these little examples will help you with ideas, but maybe not do JUST those ideas I've mentioned. But to help you create your own ideas, if you do with to use any of these examples then try and transform them into your own style.


JUDGING
I am NOT gonna judge by which is the best. I am gonna judge fairly and judge by:

Detail, creativity/imagination, How well you've use the couples style of love and personalities and perhaps the scenery you've set them in. And also story/reason if you have put a story or reason behind the picture of the couples.

However I will not judge this myself. I will get other people to judge to help me out with the entries. I'm not saying who the judges are, that’s a secret .
