I currently have 37,564,151 tu to give away.

The contest has ended! >D

There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. I'm just too lazy to divide it all up for now. 

I'm not plaaying res no more so I'm just going to give all of my tu out as a contest. I made one earlier but I figured it would be better if I let all art forms in rather than just writing. 

For this contest, all you need to do is write, draw, sculpt, make a comic or whatever. As long as it's artistic.

So, just draw/write/whatever? No, I'm going to give you some prompts/themes. You have to use them. When you give me your entry, you can mention which prompt you used or not. Technically, if your piece is sucessful I would be able to tell what prompt you used. So here are the prompts:

• Tea and coffee
• Electricity
• Blind
• Alien
• Food
• Contrast
• Impression
• Bones
• Translation
• Cymotrichous
• Knowledge
• Science

Sorry, but I don't think using more than one would be a good idea. Plus it would be better if you worked around a single subject. I'd like you to consider what it means to you and present your own interpretation of the word(s).

I'd actually like to see more of your ideas rather than your ability to write/draw/orwhaterver. So you still have a chance to win even if your drawing looks like poo poo or your story/poem has poor grammar. However, it's fairly obvious that you won't win if you just draw an amazingly beautiful picture of a teabag and a coffee bean if you used the prompt 'tea and coffee'. 

Also, I don't have any preferences. I don't prefer digital art over traditional. I don't prefer writing over drawing. I don't prefer poetry over everything else. I'm unbaised towards everything.

Rules:

• No mature content, stick to the site rules.
• No art/writing theft. Srsly, not cool
  

  If you find that anything submitted is suspicious. Please rmail me with concerns and/or evidence and I will sort it out, I don't want anyone else involved. These entries will be quietly dismissed if found guilty, I don't want a fuss over here.
  
  It's in the site rules:
  http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/arts/art/you-will-be-warned-/~page/1/
  Even if you act in an acceptable manner, I will ask you to drop it

  
  
• No fanart/fanfiction.
• Please don't write/draw about yourself and how cruddy your life is. I don't want to hear it.
• Enter as many times as you like, you won't get extra points for the effort though.
• You may collab with a friend, but split up the cash amoungst yourself.
• You must use a prompt
• The entry must be made specifically for this contest.
• Unlike most art contests, artwork submitted does not become my property. It's still yours because you made it.

The prizes yeah?

So, there's like bajillions of tu and stuff right? So like I'll split that up when I'm arsed to. 

On top of that, you can have a drawing by me if you place. Here's my dA if you wanna know if it's worth it:

http://bluemarshmallows.deviantart.com/

 If you don't want a drawing you can have a item from my gallery. They're all retired and stuff. 

They'll prolly be honourable mentions as well. I don't think honoourable mentions will get monies but they'll prolly get items or drawings or something along the lines of that.

So yeah, post your stuff over here on this thread.

 DON'T WRITE IN 1ST PERSON ANYMORE ASKJDHKAJSHB OMGBGASHADSNJADS FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! If you are going to write in first person, at least read To Kill A Mockingbird before you do so.

FAQ

Here is where I answer questions that I keep hearing on this thread, the shoutbox and via rmail. 

Please read before asking a question

Can I enter?

Yes

When is the deadline?

August 5th

Can I enter more than once?

Yes, but you won't get any extra points in my favour if you do.

Can I make an entry for more than one prompt?

Yes, but you won't get any extra points in my favour if you do.

Can I make an entry for all of the prompts?

Yes, but you won't get any extra points in my favour if you do.

What does 'cymotrichous' mean?

Google that up and find out

How do I start?

If I were you, I would do a mindmap/spider diagram of the chosen prompt. It's okay if it wanders away from the prompt like 'coffee and tea' can go to 'gender', 'culture' or 'economics'. I would actually prefer you wander away from the initial prompt, but please explain your process of thought when you submit your entry. Then I would just sit there and think, let ideas settle for a bit. 

Then I would do some planning, like write a structure plan for the poem/prose or do some thumbnails (for drawings) and just carry on working from there. 

Can I draw animals?

Yes, you can draw whatever you like, provided they follow the contest rules.

Can I make a comic?

Yes.

Can I draw in black and white?

Yes

Can I draw using a pencil?

Yes

Can I [insert something here]?

Yes.

Can I rmail you my entry?

Yes.

I'm not good at [insert skill here]! I'll never win!

If you haven't read the first post, I'm not judging you on your ability to draw or write but you interpretation and ideas you draw from the prompts. So you can give me a shoddily done piece and you will still have a good chance to win provided you spent a lot of time thinking and planning your work.

If you don't know how to draw a specific component that is key to your work, rmail me and I'll give you a few pointers.

It's so uglyyyyy/baaaadddd!!!! cry

If I say it's good, it's good and it's good ;D

Would you rather I draw or write?

Do anything you want, I don't prefer one over the other.

Can I enter a bit later? I need some time.

Yes. Just make sure you submit your entry or request for an extention in time.

You're leaving res?! oAo

I actually left a few months ago but I came back for a bit and realised I had tons of tu lying around. So I decided to make a contest to give away tu and see how users here respond to an artistic challenge.

Can I have your omni/kioka/shaefu/ezahni/liyure/CS pets since you're leaving?

No.

Can I have [insert pet's name here]?

I already gave away all of the pets I was willing to let go of. So I will be no longer be giving away pets.

I saw you draw for other people just now! I thought that was only a prize for the contest?!

I draw when I'm bored and if you're lucky and on the shoutbox, I'll draw for you. However, I only draw things that I'm interested in drawing. With this contest, I will draw unconditionally for you. However, if you ask me to draw something that I'm not good at drawing; you'll have to make do with a crappy piece of artwork. So choose wisely.

Bonjour, Amelie!
  It's been, like, AGGEEESSS since the Exchange, hasn't it? France was so fun! Your very lucky to have a capital like Paris, and, of course, such a wonderful family! I'm sure you won't agree with me, but your little sister, Belle, is so cute!
   So, how are you?
   I hope to see you soon,
   Nicole xxx :)

Salut Nicole!
    Avant de commencer, je me demandais ce que AGGEEESSS moyens? Mon traducteur en ligne ne le reconnaît pas.
    L'échange a été vraiment amusant! L'Angleterre était incroyable! C'était un tel changement de décor à partir ennuyeuse vieille Francais.
    Vous pensez que ma famille est incroyable? Vous devriez les rencontrer quand nous n'avons pas les visiteurs! Mes parents sont très strictes à propos mes notes à l'école.
   Non, Belle est pas mignon! Elle est un peu ennuyeux de crevettes! Parlant de la famille, je suis sûr que ton grand frère Thomas a quelques copines sur la route ...
    Je ne suis pas mauvaise - mais j'ai un peu froid, même si par rapport à l'Angleterre, la France est très chaud! Comment êtes-vous? Faire quoi que ce soit agréable pour les vacances d'été?
    S'il vous plaît ne répondez pas longtemps!
   x Amélie

Hi again, Amelie!
   Hope I didn't take TOO long replying! Oh, AGGEEESSS is just me exaggerating ages, or, a long time. Sorry! :)
  My mum and dad said they might be able to afford a flight to Paris, so I might be able to see you soon! Can we go to that theme park again? Or see another cool French movie? Argh! As you can tell, I'm so excited!
   Thomas does NOT have loads of girlfriends. In fact, he doesn't even have one, lol. Dad won't let him until he's fourteen. Ha!
   I'm pretty good. I just had a growth spurt! Maybe I'm as tall as you, now!
   Over the hols I'm going to visit my grandparents in Cornwall for a week, where I might do some surfing. I'm really looking forward to it! :) How about you?... More swimming? xD
    Speak to you (and hopefully see you) soon!
   Nicole :D x

   Hello Nicole,
Comme mes voeux en anglais? Malheureusement mon anglais commence à glisser loin de mon esprit car je n'ai pas eu une leçon d'anglais depuis si longtemps! C'est génial de ne pas avoir l'école. :)
    Vraiment? C'est super que vos parents disent que vous pouvez revenir! Vous pouvez rester à la mienne! Lorsque!?
    Et je suis sûr qu'il va obtenir quelques copines bientôt, rappelez-vous, ce n'est pas long jusqu'au jour de son anniversaire.
    Je doute que vous êtes aussi grand que moi. J'ai eu une petite poussée de croissance aussi.
    Amusez-vous à Cornwall! Et oui, plus de natation. >.> Parfois, il est tellement ennuyeux.
    Je vois mes cousins ​​à Nice bientôt, alors je ne serai pas capable d'écrire pendant un moment.
    Amélie

  Bonjour Amelie,
   See? I can speak French, too! Lol.
   My mum says we'll probably fly over at about the beginning of August and stay fir a week.

 *still to be continued*

I'm actually writing a different story. :D

AkitaJaynight, yeah sure do what you like.

Shao, I dunno. Probably 3000 words maximum. If it is really long, it better be worth it.

Supernovastar, you are lucky that I speak French.

I doodled a little piece based off one of the prompts. It's fairly easy for you to guess which one I used.

 This is so much fun! xD

This is for Cymotrichous

My prompt is: Knowledge

          One day, a scientist came to town to teach the kids and parents there about paranormal activity and what to do if you have any paranormal activity in your house. Step 1: Do not do any thing stupid, like get the ghost more mad, tell it to get out of your home, or any other stupid thing. Just let it alone. if it does not stop, then, go stay at someone's house and call a psycic. Step 3: Move to a new house If it will not stop. Something might happen, like 3 sratches on your back side by side. That is one major sign to get away from the ghost.

          And then, one day, a kid named Alex, who lived with his mother, Lise, were having family time with their his unkle Fred. And then, all of a sudden, the kid was picked up and flew into a wall. The ghost pushed the glases on the floor, and the game that they were playing. The next thing that they all knew is that they needed to get out of the house, cause that is what they heard from the scientist.

          Alex and Lise had to move in with her x husband, Justin, and every night they would have an argument about why she stayed there, and what if the ghost would have followed them, and ohh that ghost followed them. When they were arguing they herd a scream from their son. They went to him, and he complained about his back hurting. So, they turned him over, and there was 3 5 inch long scratches on his back, side by side.

          And then, then, Justin was blaming Lise for the scratches on Alexs' back. He said that the reason they were on his back is because Lise really made them mad. So, they decided to move in with Lise's mother, Joline. She was treated nicely. Then, one night, Lise's mother was picked up, like Alex was, and thrown against her fireplace, and died. Then, they went to her funeral, and was really thinking it was their faults, so they went to hide and was never seen again, niether was the ghost.

 I do not think that that was good enough to enter, but I will anyway. lol =P
