Hey everyone!
Since you're all pretty boring ;) and haven't come up with many contests on your own, I guess it's my job to make a new one for you.

It's a coloring book contest! *.* You know, like the ones you used to have in school when you were a little kid :lol:

Here are the rules:
-Color the lineart provided. You can print it out and color it by hand (like w/ colored pencils or w/e), then scan the final version and submit it that way. Or, if you have photoshop, corel painter, or some other program, you can color it on the computer. Just set the lineart layer to multiply and color the pic. Make sure to make layers so that you can make changes without making a mess of everything!
-Final pictures must have all three girls colored. Backgrounds are optional.
-The pictures must be submitted as .jpg or .png and can be hosted on a image hosting site like photobucket.
-The winner will be able to have a character that they design appear in my fanfic, The Other Side of Tomorrow (within reason). ^_^

If you have any questions, let me know! The picture that you will be coloring is called "At the Beach" and is a gag picture I made as a joke for my friend Steph. She and I are always joking that if I keep being so mean to my story characters, one of these days I'm gonna get a note saying: "Dear Mara, we're sick of all this angst, so we decided to just skip all this crap, waste Future Jimmy's planet, and go on vacation to Hawaii. Signed, Aurora, Libby, and April" or something like that. Haha, anyway, here is the lineart:

Posted Image

From left to right, the characters are Aurora, Future Libby, and April (but you knew that). I'd also like to point out that this pic solves the long held dilemma of whether or not Gorlocks have hair. They DO. They just cut it really short and wear it under their helmets. April must have grown hers out for this pic (that, and it looked stupid when I gave her a buzz cut). :bunny:

Right click and select "save target as" to save it to your computer.

So the horns are part of their headgear? I always thought that the horns were physically part of their heads.

I might attempt, but since I absolutely suck with computer programs (tutorials please? xD), I'll just color them with Prisma colors. :lol:;

Ya, I thought that the horns were part of their head too, until I tried to figure out the way their helmets must fit over their head. Since the horns come out of the top of the helmet and then curl, there is really no way the helmets could just be placed on top of the heads. Unless the helmets were initially split into two parts and each part was put over its own side of the head and then the two parts were somehow welded together, the way the horns came through just didn't make sense. So, I concluded that the horns most likely were part of the helmet.

Sure, prisma colors ROCK. I wish I had them. They're a great medium, so if you have trouble with computer programs, they sound like a great alternative. Use away!

I've never actually used Paint to color lineart (I'm not even that familiar with the program) but if you know how to use it, then sure, feel free to color it that way. ^_^

Mara, this is awesome. Do you know how honored I would be if I got to make a character in the infamous fic, The Other Side of Tomorrow? So, I printed it and colored it and I have to ask my dad how to turn the copier into a scanner now....

Is it me, or is Aurora not wearing a bathing suit? :lol:''

Sorry for the double post....

Hey, Mara, does it matter if we use markers or pencils or paint? Do you have a preference?

I guess that could be. At any rate, she has some nice thongage going on there. I heartily approve. :lol:

I am proud, however, of April's hair. =]

Aw Gwen, I really like it! I love the flowers on Libby's bikini and April's polka-dotted bathing suit. Nice choice of colors on April's hair, too! :D

Okay, here's my entry in colored pencil, since I sucksucksuck with computer programs (which I wish I didn't). :P

http://s141.photobuc...nt=EntryCLA.jpg

Well, after about six hours of sweat, colored pencil-misplacement, and tears, I managed to finish this. I was SO happy to get it done, that I put it as my desktop background, LOL.

My parents: Wtf, Krista?

Random note: Did you ever notice how extremely awkward it is to color someone's BUTT when people are walking all around you? >w<;
Anyways, I gave this my best shot. I hope you like it! ^_^

Edit- I made the colors darker, picture larger, and just put up a link. :)
