Every month or so we will hold a contest, giving our members an opportunity to win something nice. We also accept prize donations from members, which is highly appreciated. The winners of the contests have their art placed in the Featured Folder for all to see.

As we wait for the winners to be chosen for the Dragon Poetry Contest, another contest has been issued! It's our biggest contest yet!
THE XENOMORPH ULTIMATE DRAGON CHALLENGE
How often do you run into contests for Xenomorphs (from the Alien Film Series), right? So, here is the opportunity to create your OWN Xenomorph! However, there's a catch. You must somehow incorporate both dragon characteristics and YOUR Chinese zodiac animal characteristics into the design. That's right! I said it! YOUR CHINESE ZODIAC ANIMAL!

And it MUST be Halloween themed! Test your skills! You have two months to complete a design!

Year of the Snake CHALLENGE
Challenge Description:
The whole theme of this challenge is to design a dragon with snake-like characteristics. It can be scaly, furry, slimy, or feathery as long as the serpent aspect of it is fully noticeable. All other elements of your creation is yours to decide. Another important thing you must do is to place your design in its preferred environment. Must be purely in concept design format (formats vary upon artist preference)

***Update***
Hey guys, I decided to just extend the deadline of the contest. I'm giving y'all until March 20th, 2013 at 11:59 PM, Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (still gives you a lot of time for last minute submissions).
************

I just had a question for those of you who are participating or thinking about participating:
Would you want me to extend the contest?
See, the people who I have helping me judge are going to Australia and they aren't coming back until well after the contest. So, in the interest of both our sides, would you all like me to extend the contest?

As per request, here's a little excerpt from the actual book to help you guys out:

Somethin

A LOTR/The Hobbit Themed Contest!Yeah, you read that correctly. Your mission is to create one of the characters from any one of the LOTR movies or The Hobbit in equine form!
Need some inspiration?
Fellowship of the Rings Trailer The Two Towers Trailer The Return of the King Trailer The Hobbit Trailer The Hobbit Trailer 2
Rules:

Must be a member of EquineMasters.

Contest is open to manips, digital paintings, and traditional art. Must contain an equine somewhere in the image!

Art will be judged the same way critiques are. (Vision, originality, technique, and impact.)

Must use proper stock and must credit. (Follow all DA rules or you will be disqualified.)

Guess Who's Back?!?!It's a-me, the leader of this humble Auran Pride! So, I sort of let this group go dead, and that's totally my fault.
So, I issue a challenge, to really get this group up and running.

Whoever can get the MOST new, and ACTIVE members inducted into the pride (to join the group) will get one FULL PAINTING by myself, ~ThisLittleBluebird

The cutoff date will be MARCH 15, and I will post a journal tallying the numbers.

Now, in order to gain credit for your referral, they MUST put something to the effect of "*insert your username here* referred me to this group!"
And, on one more note, I will be far more active on the development of this species. I'm working out all the kinks in design, pride dynamics, everything.
Stay Auran Proud!

#The-Demon-That-Lurks
Hey all! It's =DemonWolfAtreiyu here! I am decided to come up with an idea... You could call it a challenge, maybe even a contest! Whatever suits best I guess. Alright, so let's get started with the details shall we! Read the bolded part below first:
As the night went on, fully alerted Scouts and Warriors watched over the pack, when one spotted something moving in the distance, "Psst, Cranos." A large male wolf with light tan fur and black stripes strided over, "What's up?" He pointed to the valley below, where a dead wood forest lied in their path. "I saw something moving, it was large and black.. Do you think it could be-" He was cut off when a massive paw came lunging from behind, lifting the male off the ground and snapping his now lifeless body in half. "Guess who…" Two bloo

Hi! I don't mean to bother you but I was wondering if you'd forgotten about the contest.. It's been almost 3 weeks, and now winners have been announced. You seem to be posting things so.. I'm not trying to pressurise you, I was just curious. ^^

*Mukki-Tadi Mar 18, 2013 Student General Artist

No, I haven't forgotten.

I just had to pay for my car fixes first. So this friday, the prizes should be out

~TigerDragon1001 Mar 19, 2013

Your car had some kind of problem? Good thing it's fixed now then!

Ooh yay! ^^ Sorry if I annoyed you..

*Mukki-Tadi Mar 19, 2013 Student General Artist

lol thanks

and you're alright. I was without a car for a couple of months lol

~TigerDragon1001 Mar 20, 2013

Welcome! A couple of months?! I can't imagine..

*Mukki-Tadi Mar 20, 2013 Student General Artist

Yeah :/ I hated relying on someone else to take me to work. lol

~TigerDragon1001 Mar 21, 2013

Yup. And if they were sick or something then.. what to do? You're stuck!

*Mukki-Tadi Mar 21, 2013 Student General Artist

Exactly >.<
