Contest closed! Whee, thanks everyone for entering. I really enjoyed looking at all the wonderful entries. Also if I missed your entry please let me know so I can add you to the list. Winners will be announced on Friday the 1st. =]

Yay, I live! The holidays almost killed me but I have survived! Every time it seemed like I needed to buy something, eat food, or check something, everything was closed.

So contest...

Saiko and Lavender the webcomic [link] is now complete and posted to the internet. YAY! So for this momentous occasion I will run a tiny contest with real prizes. Hopefully someone will enter so I don't have to cry at night and give myself the prizes.

Here's the info, there will be two different contests one for artists and one for all the other people that either aren't artist or who hate drawing for other people. There will be prizes for both.

For the art contest, go to the Saiko and Lavender comic... it starts here: [link] or look at the comics if you own them (it could happen ), draw a picture of whatever Saiko and Lavender character(s) you love, hate, enjoy torturing. Have them doing whatever you want... eating breakfast, destroying the world, attacking giant monsters, curling their handle bar mustaches, posing. The sky's the limit, well, within reason. If you make terrible porn I will of course be amused... um and I will have to disqualify you for the prizes since I can't display the winning entry. If you have an old piece of Saiko and Lavender art you did back at the dawn of time... cough, er... when the comic was first printed feel free to dust it off and send it in. You can enter as many times as you want but you can only win one prize.

Now for the non-art contest, this is a review contest. Go to the Saiko and Lavender comic... [link] read however much you want. Link to the comic on your DA,LJ, blog, journal and then review it however you wish, critique it, be nice, be mean, be weird, write it as a dear John letter, write it like the voices in Saiko's head, make it a play, make it odd, but most of all make it interesting. You may include pages from the comic, or hell, make your own images, or shop the comic stuff to make funny stuff. Have fun.
