I think the subject should be brought up in a public thread about it and if there's enough people wanting to draw by tablet, then it should be a seperate category.

I wanted to hold an Unofficial Jpop Karaoke Contest, since it doesn't pertain to Ayu, we'd have to do it...

I'm sure people would enter, judging by the amount of submissions we had for the Ayu one, and who actually entered.

I was surprised that the "ayu-contest-only" members didn't outnumber the active members.

I like that idea a lot. That would also solve the PS/drawing software problem as well. Glad I have your help.

I would actually group tablet work as digital art instead of traditional.
I don't think it would be fair, since you could just have your reference pic as a bottom layer and paint right on top(and theres no way to disprove it). and they have the advantage of always having the perfect color match with eyedropper tool.

I'd LOVE a pencil drawing contest. I haven't drawn Ayu in a long time, but if I had a reason to, I'm sure I could do it

[Ranma Matsuri]

^So you would be interested in our little non-official contest? Yay!

I don't know much about tablet drawing but that does sound like an unfair advantage. Yeah, definitely gonna go with Koumori's suggestion on this one. Create a separate category for digital art and perhaps allow those contestants to use PS as well. Solves both problems and puts both digital and traditional drawers on a more level playing field.

Thinking about creating the interest thread sometime this week probably after L releases and we get the PV's because everyone will be focused on that. Any more things y'all think should be addressed?

^ Maybe....what mediums should we be able to use? Pencil, coloured pencil, ink, paint...etc? ^^

(I myself would only do drawing in black & white pencil ^^)

[Delirium-Zer0]

I think it should either be drawing or painting... drawing would allow things like pencil, charcoal, pastels, colored pencil, crayons, pen & ink, etc. Painting would allow watercolor, oil, acrylic, poster paints whatever. (if someone wanted to use ink in conjunction with any paints, that'd be ok too ^^)

I'd love to see what people came up with... someone doing really creative art & mixing media would just be awesome.

Exactly what I was thinking. We should have both. Mixed Media category anyone? Or do you think we won't have enough people interested in that particular art?

As with the tablet/photoshop useage, we'll just have to ask

I think a remix mashup would be fun... or the manga one.

[ayufan-]

I would say an poem lyrics contest or something with writing.

Or something like, desigh an Ayu tshirt or AHS t shirt.
