The deadline for both the create a character theme and the fan fic theme has been extended to November 28th. You still have two days left to enter!

There are two categories, one for visual art of all media and a second category for literature. For the art theme, we're having a Land of the Sky Fan Character design contest! The literature theme is The Days Before! We have great prizes, including a copy of a Land of the Sky Volume 1, LotS Poster,  subscriptions, and points! :iconiskahraepface:

All the information you need on the races is right here: :thumb337323798:

You can read all the pages and chapters that are out right here on DA! iniphineas.deviantart.com/gall…


:bulletpurple: Art Theme: Make a fan character that fits in the Land of the Sky world! :bulletpurple:


:bulletpink: Rules: :bulletpink:
• Maximum of 2 entries for the fan character contest.
• Characters must be drawn and colored with traditional or digital media.
• Can be drawn in an illustration or a reference sheet, or both if you’re ambitious.
• Preferably full body, with at least the front angle if doing a reference sheet.
• Illustrations can include official Land of the Sky characters, but the main focus should be the fan character.
• You must provide a written character profile and background info (preferably in the artist’s comment of the deviation)
• If entering two characters in the contest, they can appear in the same images, but they must each have their own deviations (ex: separate reference sheets or two separate illustrations each with the main focus on a different character)

I will provide information on different races and locations in the Land of the Sky world. I will also provide a profile template you can use and add to as you wish.

:bulletpurple: Literature Theme: The Days Before :bulletpurple:

You can write about any character or characters from Land of the Sky and use the background information you’ve learned about them to write something that could have taken place before the start of the story. It can take place at any point in the past, whether it’s the near past or the far past, such as in the character’s youth.

For example, Roo and Gabriel have been traveling together for years, there’s plenty of opportunity for troubles (or fluffy moments :eyes: ). Iskah has also been stalking him for years. Micah, Souri, and Jei Dun all knew each other from childhood. Kain, Fate, and Shira have been working at Café Chow Chow in Sin City for quite some time before the start of the story.

Lots of opportunity for adventures and misadventures! :D

Just about any genre is fine; you can go with a serious theme, a romantic one, a humorous one, or anything in between.

:bulletpink: Rules: :bulletpink:
• Maximum of 2 entries, per person for the literature contest.
• You must join the group as a member to participate.
• No mature content including nudity, smut, etc.
• Fanfics should be at least 500 words in length.
• You can include poetry in your story, but there should be prose as well.
• Be original and don’t copy someone else’s work.

*sigh* Okay, I lied. That wasn't the last question. *pouts* I have one more question. What happens if I shove a parent/master character into a characters profile because they happen to be important to character's background (as a item in the profile). *thinks* Let's say if you made a Roo's profile and place his master in the same profile because the master is key role in his past. Is that allowed?

......

That isn't allowed, is it? *curious* Sorry for so many questions.
