Alrighty, now that the sign-ups are over, and some other issues have been taken care of, the contest is finally underway. Remember, absolutely do NOT discuss with anyone as to who you have for a person that you're doing the pic for, and don't even play guessing games.

You have to submit your picture or other piece of artwork on Valentine's Day. Failure to do so will piss me off to no end and you will be banned from all future art trade events like this.

And don't just recycle an old image or anything that you have, or just do something random for someone and say "I don't know what to do for them." Do a little snooping around. Find out what they do and don't like without asking them. How do you do that, you ask? If they have a deviantArt account, look at what they have there. Look at the drawings they do or what they might be favoriting and see if there's any connection. Perhaps the person favorites only Full Metal Alchemist pics? Maybe they draw more pictures of their fan characters than official art? Know that you're not limited to snooping around their deviantArt. For God's sake, Google them if you have to. XD

I will say you can talk to your person too, just don't make it obvious that you're the one drawing the picture for them. This is investigative things!

Good luck, peeps! Remember, the due date is February 14th!

QUICK question: Do we post 'em here or what? (Cowers)

SUBMIT ONLY ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

I'm not making it all caps to yell, I'm just making it clear to everyone, yo. n_n

Umm... So, do I get a person? ;p

You should have. PM Mana if you didn't get anything.

Well Duh, Yeah I knew that.

i got my note, did everyone else ?

Everyone should have gotten a PM by yesterday. If you haven't, feel free to poke me with a stick or two. :P

*raises hand* I did. :D

So did I.

I did as well, though chances are I found out AFTER I got it. XP

...reminds me. I should stop procrastinating and work on reference pics.

...just in case the person who got me needs them.

I do have it, indeed. *throws away two sticks* Damn, and I was looking forward to that....

Don't forget, people! The pictures are due in one week!

........ :D crap!

if you live in england like i do do the in dates change cos think england is behind or before america or somthing like that so would i submit on the actual valentines day in my contrey .

It's about a five hour difference from here in Maine, but just try to keep up with the rest of us. n_n;

i done wiff mien.. :D

i will try but i live on the eastern edge of england so dont be mad at me if i get it in a bit late.

I say just get it in before 5 AM your time. (Though I feel that you'd probably have it in by then anyway XP) England's five hours ahead of the Eastern Timezone, so our midnight is your 5 AM. :3

~_~ Still in the process of sketching mine. And I only have five days left... T_T

I've got it even worse, timezone-wise. Ah, the joys (not) of living in a COMPLETELY different timezone to the rest of the people on one forum...

Since Valentine's Day would come in Aus BEFORE in the U.S., I might have to submit my piece late in an Aussie day (or before I go to school ARGH).

As for progress, I'm nearly done.

5am! your kidding right the earlist i ever wake up is half 12 midday on a holaday week off school. i get it in when i can on valentines day ok.

Just post it late or earlier. No one's going to beat you with a stick for the timezone thing.

Yeah, I was just saying that post it sometime BEFORE 5 AM. Heck, 7 PM would do since that'd be 2 PM for the Eastern timezone. :D

There. I'm done :P It only took ... a month... and a few hours.

By the way, if anyone does need more time than this Tuesday, please let me know. If you don't post and don't give me a reason as to why that is, then I'm going to probably get pissed and blacklist you. =D;

Just another warning.

This has been your death threat. *cracks knuckles* Don't think I don't know where you live....

What's this? Crowbar has something done a couple of days early? Blasphemy!

I might, might need a little more time. But considering I lost hope in getting something online that ended Tuesday, I can probably concentrate on it a bit more.
With any luck, I'll have it done by tonight. ...heck. I still need to get it scanned. As long as THEY don't screw me over... ¬¬ *glares at her brothers*

ime done with mine but ime poastin on the valentines day over here in england so dont chew me up for poasting it late ime not in your country remeber.

You do realize you're ahead of North America, yes...? You'd be early, not late.

imma post mine round midnight, :D *excited*

Strangely I think I am too XP

Why same here. =D

Everyones an hour ahead of me it seems but, I will post mine around midnight too. XD *Is done with hers.*

SUBMISSION TIME! =D

Alrighty, here's the one I got! Now, I'd put this on deviantArt, but I did swipe another image from someone and didn't know who it was by. That person who drew it gets credit, but I'd be shot dead for possible theft like that or something.

Anyhoo, Reaver Shadowmire, enjoy your WP!
