Contest Details:

You will kindly be designing a mate for my new unicorn character: [link]

Here are the guidelines for your design:

Gender: A Mare

Breed: Plains Unicorn (Fresian build with heavier feathering on the legs), tasseled ears, long eyelashes and usually an uprite mane, (although sometimes they may be born with the typical equine mane that lays flat against the neck), tasseled lion's tail

Markings: The plains unicorns body colour can range through any shade of gold, chesnut or brown. White markings are allowed, as they are common among the breed, and the breed is typically known for their distinctive black striping and spotting patterns. I give you free range on interpretation on the markings, but most patterns are usually found in nature...(i.e you wouldn't find excessive swirlings or tribal patterns, ect.)

Hands: 15-17h depending on gender, mares being the smaller of the two

Weight: 1050lbs-1250lbs

Please include the mare's name as well. You may include the male in your drawing if you wish, but it is not necessary. No background is required.

You may enter as many times as you wish. Please note me with your entry, simple entitled CONTEST ENTRY.

DUE DATE: August 31, 2009

Prizes:

1st Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing with fully detailed background of your hearts desire, matted and framed.

2nd Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing with simple background of your hearts desire.

3rd Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing without background of your hearts desire.

Please have fun and enjoy yourself and note me if you have any further questions. Good luck and brightest blessings!!

P.S - I've had some questions regarding added extras..like jewelry adornment, wings, multiple horns and such...and I'm pretty easy, but if you go out of the guidelines, such as giving the mare wings, please explain how she ended up that way, since the breed does not have wings. (For example, is she the offspring of a Plains Unicorn and a Pegasus?..and that's how she ended up with wings?)...just have fun and enjoy yourselves!!

1. What's the best way to market myself based on the type of
things you see in my gallery?...(obviously, I'm heavily
fantasy, though I'm perfectly capable of doing otherwise).
2. Should I be adding more intricate backgrounds to my work,
or does simplicity work best?
3. What sort of contacts should I be looking for to get my
foot in the door into the artworld?

Basically, I would love to be self-employed and marketing myself very much the way of Amy Brown or Linda Ravenscroft and that sort...but how the hell do I even get started?...I would also loooooove to illustrate childrens books, or book covers..but how does one get involved in that? I must admit, I'm a bit reclusive on the subject....so, if anyone can help...I would really appreciate some thoughts on what direction I should be headed in.

When I was a little girl in elementary school, I bought a book called Birth of the Firebringer...I waited over eight years to finally own all three books...I waited and waited on Merideth to finish all the books...well, not too long ago, it happened again...I found a book by Bruce Coville called Into the Land of Unicorns, and I became obsessed..then I read the second book, Song of the Wanderer..and then, to my dismay, I realized the third book hadn't been written yet...so, two long years I've waited..and finally, yesterday I was browsing through the children's section of Borders...and there it was!!!! in all it's hard cover glory...it's called Dark Whispers and I'm already half way through it.....*giggle*...I'm so happy.

I have officially retired the redhead...I have switched over to what my friends call, "The DarkSide"...lol.

So, yesterday, I was on my myspace, and I got a bulletin regarding something Kathy Lee Gifford stated on national television the other day. The clip was about origins of wedding traditions..and the question was, "What were the origins of wearing the wedding band on the left ring finger?"...one of the answers was that it was a tradition bourne out of Pagan origins..and Kathy referred to the Pagans as, "those nasty, bad pagans"....which had me in a complete uproar. I am Pagan, and the reason I am is because I found that they were most tolerant of other religious factions, nature cycle based, and that witches run in the family(being from England and all). I couldn't believe that she was allowed to make such a racist comment without reprimanding or repercussions of her actions. Don Eimus got fired over his comment of "Knappy headed hoes"...when his job description is to be a "shock jock"...but Kathy Lee attacks a religion, and nothing is done...Two months ago, Al Roker makes fun of epileptics on air, and all he does is make a half assed apology the next day durning some routine commentary....if this county insists on being so goddam politically correct, then go across the friggen board people, and make EVERYONE subject to the same dam rules...otherwise, recognize the constitutional right of Freedom of Speech, and don't attack anyone.....I could care less what Kathy Lee has to say about Pagans...because she's ignorant, so I just take what spews outta her mouth with a grain of salt, but if this country is going to attack people like Don Eimus, then EVERYONE should be held accountable as well across the board for racist remarks.

So, many of you know from my past journal that I've agreed to do requests and trades..which I absolutely enjoy doing..but I am having some severe financial troubles and it has left me doing things I have a broken heart over...if anyone can help by requesting comissions from me it would be so greatly appreciated I can't even begin to explain..it would have to be done through money orders, as I do not have a paypal account as most artists here do...I am absolutely negotiable on the prices according to details required in the piece...and will listen to offers on prices put forth by the buyers..unfortunately, times have become desperate, and it calls for appropriate measures...much love and thanks to all of you who read this and pass it along as well....

Direction: East
Time: March, Spring equinox, 6 AM.
Pace of Change: Rapid at first, then gradually slowing.

The Unicorn indicates purity of thought, wisdom and understanding, and points to knowledge from diverse areas and penetrating insight. This is not only relevant to the world of ideas, because the Water secondary relates to feelings. Comprehension therefore extends to the deepest needs of self and others, coupled with the ability to communicate these realizations. Unicorn signals social activities, talk and laughter. Travel or communication with Otherworld entities. If so, the primary Air confers the necessary discrimination. Artistic activities are highlighted, as is the world of the imagination generally. Unicorn emphasizes the importance of the unconventional and the eccentric, the individualist. Air and Water means that reason is allied with feelings, hence altruism and compasion. ]]> *CrimsonCaveDragon http://CrimsonCaveDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9032062/ http://CrimsonCaveDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9032062/ Sat, 10 Jun 2006 21:54:00 PDT *CrimsonCaveDragon http://CrimsonCaveDragon.deviantart.com/journal/8993930/ http://CrimsonCaveDragon.deviantart.com/journal/8993930/ Tue, 06 Jun 2006 21:52:07 PDT The CrimsonCaveDragon ]]> *CrimsonCaveDragon
