π₯ Drawing Contest π₯
Added 2020-05-01 17:56:23 +0000 UTCI've come up with a new contest that I'd love for all of my patrons to participate in! This month is my birthday month and I thought it would be really fun if I could get a contest going that is an art trade of sorts.
What you have to do to enter: Draw me something! I am not picky, but I will post a list of prompts if it's easier for everyone to get an idea that way. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, it doesn't have to be digital, or anything. As long as the photo is clear enough for me to see what your idea was it is good enough for entry! Once finished with your entry, please send the drawing to my email naomimakesart@gmail.com! You can also post progress photos of your drawing on social media and tag me (@naomimakesart) so I can keep up with what you're creating!
Deadline: My birthday is May 17th, but I don't think that is a long enough amount of time for a lot of people to create a drawing for this contest, so I am going to extend the contest deadline to June 20th! Have your entry finished by 10pm PST! (if we need any extensions after this point just let me know!)
What should I draw for you?: There are soooo many things I'd love to see, hopefully one of these prompts will strike you!
- Anyone from House Targaryen. I think most people know by now who my favorites are but I would love any artwork of anyone from my favorite house! Favorites are: Daemon, Baela & Rhaena, Visenya, Rhaenyra, Alyssa, Aerea, Daenerys (daughter of Aerys II), Alysanne, Rhaegar, Daena, Rhaena (daughter of Aenys I), Naerys, Bloodraven, Shiera Seastar, Aegon V, Aegon III, Jaehaerys I, that horrible cruel Maegor is also fun π
- Any scene or character from Fire and Blood or A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
- Any dragons from House Targaryen if you enjoy self-inflicted pain because dragons are so hard to draw. Favorites are: Caraxes, Moondancer, Sunfyre, Balerion the Black Dread, Silverwing, Sheepstealer, Tessarion, Seasmoke and Dreamfyre
- Characters from House Martell: Nymeria, Maron & Daenerys, Mariah, any of Daeron II & Mariah's children, Elia and her children, Oberyn, Arianne
- Characters from House Velaryon: Corlys, Addam, Alyn, Laena, Laenor, Alyssa, Daenaera, Aurane Waters
- Characters from House Blackwood: Black Aly, Bloody Ben, Black Betha, Missy, Bloodraven and his sisters Mya and Gwenys,
- Art from the Witcher! I adore all of the main characters (Geralt and Yen especially) but also enjoy side characters like Triss Merigold, Filavandrel, Essi Daven, Cahir, Emhyr etc!! This doesn't have to be art from the books, it can be from the TV series or the Video Games!
- Art from the Silmarillion or Lord of the Rings! Tolkien holds a very special place in my heart, and I'd honestly love anything from his legendarium. Personal favorites from the Silm are Fingolfin, Finrod Felagund, Thingol and Melian, Aredhel the white and Eol the dark elf, Beren and Luthien, Galadriel and Celeborn, Turgon, Earendil (this list could go on forever)
- Star Wars!!! My favorite character from Star Wars is Obi-Wan Kenobi, but I also love Qui Gon Jinn, Anakin, Padme, Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Kylo Ren, Rey, Ahsoka Tano (and I am also fond of Star Wars crossovers π Drawing characters from other series in the Star Wars universe is really fun!)
- Currently anyone from Final Fantasy VII because I just completed the remake and I'm obsessed again. This can include any characters from Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children as well, though Sephiroth is my favorite π
- Other characters I love are Adrian Tepes or Alucard from Castlevania, Aaravos from the Dragon Prince, Prince Lotor from Voltron Legendary Defender, Sesshomaru from InuYasha....pretty much any amoral/sad pretty boy with long blonde, white or silver hair π
I hope one of these prompts sticks out to you, hopefully so many options aren't too overwhelming! There was probably a lot more I could have included but this is all I could come up with at the moment. If you have any questions feel free to ask me!
How the winner will be chosen: Assuming I have enough entries, I will try to narrow the finalists down to 3, and then I will let you (my patrons) decide which drawing you think is the best! Finalists will be chosen based on effort and creativity, so don't worry about your skill level!
What your prize will be: The coveted prize of the drawing contest will be a simple illustration in return from me, with up to two characters! The prize can be NSFW or SFW!
Examples of simple illustrations: 1, 2 , 3 , 4
Hopefully I've covered everything, but if you have any questions or concerns please let me know! I hope I can inspire some of you to enter and draw something, I'd love to see what you all create!
EDIT: I was just asked if more than one drawing can be submitted for the contest, and I think that would be great! If you want to do more than one drawing you are welcome to!

OH MY GOSH WHERE TO BEGIN. *SPOILERS AHEAD* for starters Barret was the main character I would play during combat because I got so much joy from reaching my limit and dealing Fire In the Hole on enemies πππ he was also so hilarious, climbing those 50 something flights of stairs was killing me. The soundtrack was so gorgeous Iβve been listening to it constantly, Nobuo Uematsu really went above and beyond and turned music that was already so good into themes that were even more spectacular. I loved so many different aspects of the game, but I think this game really made me reflect on Cloud as a character a lot more than I ever have. I think it was really an emotional journey for him and loved seeing the progression of him opening up to his friends and trusting them more as the story goes along. His relationship with both Tifa and Aerith were so sweet and I love that the game didnβt make me feel like one of them was more important to him than the other because I think both of them encourage him to grow as a person. Him being SO haunted by Sephiroth was riveting too, the build up and anticipation to the reveal that Sephiroth had returned and Cloudβs reaction of losing his composure was SO INTENSE!! The entire two final chapters had me on the edge of my seat. Aerith confronting Sephiroth and her monologue about him being a danger to the planet more than anything else shook me to the core, it was such a powerful quote and it hasnβt left me since. Sephiroth and Cloud at the Edge of Creation was one of the most visually stunning scenes in any game Iβve ever played IMO. And the cut scenes with Zack made me so emotional π Iβm SO EXCITED FOR THE GAME TO BE CONTINUED
