| Good job to everyone. I found it fairly interesting that most entries were done traditionally | |

| I just wanted to express a little bit of my opinion ^^; I noticed that there were a few entries obviously copied from manga or books. This kind of made me sad, that people decided to use someone else's idea, maybe tweak a few things, color it, and pass it off as original art. Though I'm not doubting the artistic talent of the participants in the contest, I would suggest that in the future art should be original... not copied from a book, even if it's not actually "tracing". | |

| you mean people who drew other characters freehand? like i think there were a few chii pics in there.
hm...actually you do bring up a good point, kaze. for a drawing contest like this things really should be original.
now what about what i did, the akatsuki members as cats in my own style thats looks nothing like the actual characters. would that count as original or not? (dont worry, you can be as harsh as you like ^^) | |

| Well, it's hard to say there... Like Brad said, there may be many many many sources for a pic, and some could be obscure etc etc etc. It would be downright unnecessary to attempt to check every single piece of art, and it's obvious that artists would try to portray fan-art characters in their original style to fit the personality of the character better. Of course it would be near impossible to physically make sure that each piece of art was 100% original, and similarly art IS influence. Maybe this isn't a physical change that needs to be made, but just a little inclusion in the rules perhaps? (It might already have been in the rules... I'm sorry I didn't do my research before bringing the point up haha) It would justify the playing field a little I presume? ^^ In my opinion, Neko, your picture (specifically) of your Akatsuki cats was of your own making. | |

| twas ^^ (my own making i mean) though i will admit i got the idea after watching a akatsuki flash on youtube at 1 in the morning then i stayed up till 4 drawing it cause i was so inspired i didnt copy or anything though i hate when my brain wont let me sleep o.O maybe next drawing contest we can modify the rules or something? (well, not we as in you and me but as in nerd-kun) speaking of which... nerd-kun!!!! when and are we gonna do the next manga mission?! :3 | |

| You do bring up a good point Kaze-hime and we are going to modify the rules for next year along those lines. Drawings of an already established character would still be fine, as long as the art was original. -I wanted to add that the drawings that may have used a source to draw from this year were still very very nicely done, very well executed. But, you are right that i think it would be better for next year if we perhaps make an amendment to the rules about this, to make things fairer, to make it so the judges don't have to worry about tracking down original sources for things (hopefully) as much, and can just judge the art on its own merrit, and, well, beacuse we want to see your original take on things too. I thought we'd give a little bit of space before the next manga mission, since we just had the drawing contest. But, I think maybe mid-January sometime we'll start it back up.

| Part of me actually really likes the idea of a cat themed manga mission...or perhaps an animal themed one. People crossed with animals sort of thing. | |

| I knew I recognized the 3rd place entry! It's one of the "How to" section of Style School vol. 1. Knew I'd remember it.
And I would love another contest, especially an animal themed one. And I think we should tweak the rules a bit to allow fanart but not exact replicas of a picture or part of a picture. Speaking of, who were those girls anyway? I can't recall seeing them before....
And no more Chiis. God, am I tired of seeing fanarts of her. I know the artists who drew those pictures are talented and all, and Chii is really just an over sized Loli, but can't we draw mass amounts of fanart of someone else? Seriously people. So, uh, no Chiis. Maybe?
Anyway, I'm probably just mad because I utterly fail at fanart. Oh! Maybe I can draw Kei for the contest. hooray for my catboy with pink pants and rainbow socks.

| I think what genten is getting at is that, for next year, we will probably tweak the rules to make it an original art only contest: You could still draw fanart of charaters from manga and the like, you could still look at pictures to give yourself a reference or inspiration, but the image should be your own in the end; you won't be able to copy it exactly or semi-exactly -i.e. create your own pose, situation, etc. for the art. So you could still do Kekaishi (or Kekashi cats ) Neko. | |
