I understand that each account can only submit one entry, but my question is if it would be okay to ask for advice on multiple un-submitted entries and then submit whichever seems most popular.
Cheers~

Yeh sure, you can also edit your entry as long as you want if you should change your mind, but you're not allowed to edit it anymore after the deadline

Are we allowed to draw our Pokesonas? (mine is an Eevee in Black-Rock-Shooter-style for example)

I have a few questions
Does everyone that submits something get at least 1 promo?
When do the results come out?
When will we get the promos if we win something?
If you want something like this VV just PM me ;)

Everyone who qualified and followed the rules will get something. The better the entry, the more prizes you'll get.
The results come out when the team has finished judging :P there's no way we can tell you an exact date, and the promos will be distributed shortly after. But I'm sure the team will do their best to be quick.

Err, could someone please check the links I posted for my entry? I made them shareable in the hopes they'd work, and if someone could check for me that would be great aha, thank you.

This may be a silly question, but I wanna make sure xD. I posted my progress in the drawing, and as you can see, there's my username. But there's people who also wrote "Virtuadopt" or "Winter Contest 2016"

Do I need to write any of them on the drawing? Or just with my username it's valid?

Edit: I just re-read the rules and it says I have to, so sorry for the inconveniences xD

Just to verify, if we edited our post in the entries thread, we don't need to post or anything to let anyone know right? I forgot to put VA on it at first so I edited in a new picture.

Can somebody help me with my entry post plz.
When I edit it the code is ok and pictures are on it's places, but when I click submit my post is different. I have 1 picture outside of spoiler and 2 pictures of final result. Is it possible to put them on their places?

Glichu, I'm not totally sure, but I think your images are doing that because you have them uploaded as attachments instead of using a third party website such as photobucket. But I wouldn't worry too much about it as it won't hinder your contest results.

Kacpix, only if your entry is digital do you need to show your steps. If it is hand drawn you can just post the final image.

Ok then, I just wanted to have normal message, but If it's ok, then let it be like this.

I have a question, about rule number 1 ^_^

I found a picture from Articuno on Google
And used it as an example for my drawing
Is that art theft?
Or is it only art theft if you didn't draw it by yourself?
I don't want to get banned by art theft.. ^^'

I think it is art theft if you can clearly see that you copied the Articuno from another picture. If you just used it as a reference and you have drawn your own Articuno (differently from the reference) it wouldn't be art theft^^

Thank you for your post ^^
Yeah maybe you are right...
I just wasnt so sure about it suddenly xD
I used this image

https://www.google.nl/search?q=shiny+ee ... 8ra6BbM%3A

My version of it, is a little bigger / larger, it's not 100% the same
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235 ... g~original

And is it still art theft?
If yes, is it allowed to still colour my drawing, and make a new articuno, and paste it over the old one?
So that I don't have to start over, and removed the wrong articuno?
Or do I have to start over?
