Heya people, as I promised *a little late but good enough* I will open the contest. This is an ORIGINAL CHARACTERS CONTEST (don't even ask about doing fanart) All contestants who make fanarts will be disqualified. You HAVE to draw the characters from your story that you have made

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING OR SUBMITTING OR EVEN DRAWING

THEME
The theme is NAKAMA, meaning comrades/friends. Basically, draw the whole team from your story (important part here) doing something together, state that in your artist's comments. That means, background is needed. So, if it is from my guardian story, those who will be included are Shuichi, Hikaru, Ryuuya, Soiron, Giselle, Ray, Levy, Grid, Cygna, Mermaid, Flower, and Reo (there are about 12 people in the group). You don't really need to draw all of them together, maybe (in my case) 3-4 is good enough. Those who have romance story, don't worry, you can draw your couple together
For example (for all type of stories), playing at the beach together, escaping from the enemy together, eating together, youth days, school time, etc. DO NOT draw them posing and you say : they are posing together. I want to see the warmth of your art.

Here is the sample entry, click here for full view
