Hello dA! Today (August 23rd, GMT +8) is my birthday!
I really want to thank you all for the wonderful support and attention I've been receiving. So, I have decided to host my first contest and raffle! You can join both!
Since I realized that I don't have any OCs (Original Characters) and I can't find the inspiration to create one, the contest will be a "Design me an OC" contest! (Not interested? Scroll down for the raffle! )
RULES:
1. If you are interested in entering, please favorite this journal so that I can get an idea of how many people are interested. You do not have to be a +Watcher to participate; however, if you like my art, I would highly appreciate it if you +Watch me.
2. No mature content allowed.
3. No stealing other people's bases, art, etc. without permission. If I catch you stealing art, you will be banned without notice. I would highly prefer you not to use pre-existing bases, though I guess it's fine if you use a base with permission.
4. You can create as many contest entries as you want, but only one entry can win. All entries must be made after August 23rd, 2014. You cannot submit previous artworks.
5. Traditional and digital media are both allowed. If your entry wins, then I am free to use the concept of your designed OC however I want (the artwork is still yours though). Otherwise, you are free to use your artwork however you want.
6. DEADLINE: October 7th. That gives you over a month. I can extend the deadline if I feel that there are not enough entries.
Human and hero OCs
Dragons and other fantasy creatures
Video games
Cool sci-fi stuff
Medieval (e.g. How to Train your Dragon)
Anthro / human-animal hybrid OCs
Pony OCs
I will judge all entries based on the following factors:
50%: effort and artistic quality
50%: concept and creativity

Note: +Watching me will not increase your chances. Unless you enjoy my art, please do not watch me because I do not want to deal with people who become inactive or downright unwatch me after the raffle is over.
Thank you all in advance, and good luck!

An Update
Hey folks. It's been a while.
I'm in college now. Less time to do more things while worrying about getting a job. Yikes.
I still love art. It's one of those things I really want to pick back up at some point, maybe in a few years, maybe after I retire, but I promise I'll get back into it. But for now, it's an indefinite hiatus.
Hey Arnold, help me out here.
"I'll be back!"
Sorry again
Another wave of inactivity struck me... X(
Reasons:
1.) Burden of high school
2.) dA is rather difficult to access in China... connecting to dA servers (which are in the US) is very unstable.
3.) Procrastination :shakefist:
Thanks for your understanding! :D
- Jackson
P.S. I hope I haven't lost like half of my old watchers by now :XD:
Winners of the contest / giveaway!
First of all, sorry for the huge delay :XD:
As I've previously explained, I had Model UN and a bunch of school-related work. I slept at 2 for the past week.
Enough about me; this is about you guys! :la:
Without further ado, let's find out who the winners are!
FOR THE CONTEST:

Sorry for the hiatus :/
As you may have noticed, I haven't been submitting deviations or doing much in the past two weeks or so.
This is mostly due to ILMUNC (Ivy League Model United Nations Conference), which set me about three days behind school schedule. To make things worse, I forgot my charger at the hotel, meaning that I can't use my Surface to conveniently browse dA until I get a new charger.
I will announce the winners of the contest / giveaway ASAP. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
