Mkay, I'll have to make this quick for now. ;

But in case you didn't hear, I am 17 as of the 25th. Ah, sweetness. I feel older and wiser already.

So I guess one thing I want to say at this point is that I'm going to try real hard to stop being such an ass about other people's fanfiction pairings and whatnot. I know it's sort of a dumb little thing, but I've been REALLY STUPID lately, and I was such an idiot that I actually lost a friend over it- which has had me feeling totally sucky for a long time now.

So while I may still make the idle joke or two, I'm for the most part going to stop being a Nazi.

I'm really sorry if I have hurt anyone or offended anyone these last few months. I wish I could make it up to you guys.




In other news, I have recieved a tablet for my birthday, which is totally spifftastic. This will certainly mean some non-plot-based PN illustrations, certainly some color comics (but not too many, understand-I still draw them at school and, if it's in the cards, possibly even a new comic on the side.



And yeah, this contest thing. It'll probably be a bit informal here, but I thought you oughta know.

I have this scene planned in between Link's little fishy escapades and when he recieves his new, official outfit. The story goes, Link's taking a shower to wash off the fish guts, and while he's in there, Zia chucks his clothes, cuz they're stained and pretty disgusting at that point. However, Link's got nothing else to wear, and since he's living with a Zora and a supermodel, they don't really have anything quite his "style". So Zia, the fashion extraordinaire, quickly searches her closets for something Link can wear.

What I would really love for you guys to design is this outfit (And this means anyone who wants to, not just my friends. ^^). Now, I'm not (necessarily) saying put Link in a skirt or anything, but definitely something distinctly feminine. I'm looking for an outfit generally consisting of pants, a shirt and a jacket (but I am open to any genius plan, of course). I dunno, something, lacy, flowery, pink... surprise me.

(Oh, btw, I forgot to mention- it is CRUCIAL that Link has some kind of headgear, to hide his ears. He lives in a time where the government would be all to happy to rip off those pointed pretties and stuff them down his throat. I mean, I can supply this, if it comes to that, but it's certainly something to think about, hm?)

This is not an art contest so much as a design contest. I can do the arty part. ^^ What I would like from anyone participating is:

- a general, color drawing or sketch of someone (preferably Link, but whatever XD) wearing the clothes (your own work, of course)

- links to any internet references you used. That's it.^^

-Extra points for pretty pictures XD and designs that draw influence from any Zelda character (include this in your links!)

You can note me or just post the links here. Whatever. ;

As for deadlines- it's not really set as of yet, actually. ; I probably won't need the design for a good ten pages at least, so that buys you at least a few months, possibly until spring. I will be more specific when it gets closer to the time. Or, knowing me, I'll probably just say "Hey, we've got a winner!" XD Obviously, your best chances are if you submit sooner rather than later. ; Like I said, informal. XD


Okay, and now, I suppose I should mention your lovely prizes! (NOTE: I reserve the right to tweak or alter your design in any way I see fit.)

-You get credit whenever I use your design.

-Your design will be used in a short segment of the PN comic. I can promise at least two pages, if not more, and a full-body establishing shot. This will most likely be in pencil.

-A full-body color illustration

So yeah! Get thinking. XD
