OOOH my GOSH oh my GOSH!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot BELIEEEEEEEEVE it!

Sooo that whole Monster High Scary Camp contest that I entered over on deviantART that ended up being a 31 day drawing challenge....

Well...

I just found out that I WOOOOON!

Eeee! I took first place!!!! *bounces around all excited!*

Here is where it was announced:

But-- OMG YAAAY! I've never won a drawing contest before! I'm *SO* stoked--!! Eeee! Happpppeh! :D :D

Beeeest Friends

So.. the start of today was... pretty... lame to say the least. I was still all bent out of shape because of Rudy's announcement... For the whole part of the morning I figured I would try to get my mind off of things and attempt to do a Scary Camp entry.... So.. I did...

 As I was working on this I kept thinkin' about Rudy cuz he's like my bestest buddy... and here Vee's bestest buddy is Sparta.... It kept making me so sad.... We ended up doing laundry today so we were gone for most of the day... but while I was out... Rudy called me to tell me that he wasn't moving afterall!

So... there's that! :D I'm not losin' one of my bestest buddies afterall! *dances!*

I cannot tell you how super relieved I am! Woooo man!

I got back so late and only had about an hour to turn in my Scary Camp entry from the day.. so I quickly colored it and just submitted it... That particular entry was for Day 16-- Best Friend/Summer Love...

I still need to draw one of the participants by the name of Chess (a werecat character OC).... but I got the news of Rudy's moving on the 15th which was the day i ended up skipping....  I wasn't planning on all of that happening.. so I need to figure a way to squeeze her character into one of my pictures... and soon...

Hacking--!

Yup... Gotta love my puns.. I'm getting pretty cleaver with these, I have to admit! *snickers*

Day 14--! Hacking! The theme for the day was "You and Scary Camp Nature" so.. Vee decided to take to nature by the horns and... hack...............some wood! Muahaha!

Hmm.. yeah.. it seems that as I'm watching the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place entries get pulled.. I'm starting to get annoyed.

I mean, I really don't mind pulling other images from this little contest if an idea is good.. but if there's no idea, plus the drawing is basically a SCRIBBLE... and I do something like... Well.. the stuff I've been doing and stuff doesn't get recognized on that level!?

OMG... Talk about fustrating!

I mean, I did only enter this contest for the fun of it... And i really don't care about winning any type of prize... but for the judging!? OMG.. c'mon! My stuff is *clearly* better.... there are also other people's stuff who is CLEARLY better than some of the entries pulled. I think that they're just pulling things so they will be "nice" and include everyone. it's supposed to be a CONTEST based on concept, ability, and creativity.

It just.... ARUGH. :|

It kind of makes me want to host my own contest.... So i can judge it and have it be a REAL contest, damnit. :P

Surf the Net

So.. This was for Day 13-- where we had to choose any sport... And I figured.. well SURFING the Net was something Vee loved to do! And plus?? 'Nother Pun!! :D

I have to admit, that THIS one is my absolute favorite picture that I've done, next to the picture of Vee all floating within her data stream.

I had to place her in Oracle's cybernetic bodysuit. Considering Vee IS my "daughter", it's only right she shows up wearing my suit!

I.. really should make this into a wallpaper or something... I really do love this image... The pose, the concept-- just.. everything. I really blew myself away with this one...

Fencing--Daaay 12!

I have to admit that... with this contest.. I think I'm going to slow down substantially...  I really love participating within it, but man... it's getting hard to produce the types of images I really want to produce within the time span...

Plus... some days it feels like my hand is about to fall off... >.<

Anyway....

Fishing or Fencing was choice for today...

And considering I have too many puns up my sleeve..... I chose fencing!

Vee: *snatches paper and bolts, super excited* FENCING--!!!!! *gets to work building a fence around the border of Scary Camp*

Layla: *walks up after some time* Um... Vee?

Vee: *hammers!* Hi Layla!! You like my fence??!

Layla: Um... Vee...? We're supposed to be fencing... you know.. with the sword thingy?
Vee: *stops hammering*

Oh Ribbons!!

This.. is Day 9... Arts and Crafts.
Hhehe. Man oh MAN.. I love the way this one came out. I really did this to muse my boyfriend, Chris. I really thought he would get a kick out of this one...

Fun facts:

• Those hands took me 1 hour to do.
  
• Vee is wearing Cindy Vortex's outfit from Jimmy Neutron.

Today was a LONG.. *long* day... Extreme broken sleep over a 3 hour period... I think tonight will be an early night...

My hand is DEAD

The past two days....  Day 8 (writing home) and Day 9 (New Camp Friends) had.. just DONE it. Well.. Actually Day 9 was really bad... I really shouldn't have done so many bodies in a picture...  Did so many i forgot to draw in Vee's arm panel too... Oh well.. maybe I'll fix that... Heh!

I really loved how Day 8 Came out.. The letter in the background, I thought just added to the icing on the cake. Added in some comic references to Dinah, Arrow and Charlie there.. just because I couldn't resist. hehe. After all, Vee IS Oracle's little creation. It would only be right that she's aware of the other BoP members.... ;)

Her full letter and everything else can be viewed on Vee's Tumblr. I don't feel like copy/pasting here.. there's really no need. :|

Considering my hand has just about gone and fallen off, I've also come to the realization that... I won't be participating in every challenge... and I will try to keep things a bit more simple if I do... I'm not really looking for the top prize of a Skull Shores Ghoulia doll (I already have one).. but rather.. to better myself and have fun with it. And if I'm burning myself out and creating lots of firey pain in my wrist...? It's not really worth it...  I'll probably only participate on the days left that I really wish to or have the desire for.

I'm totally resting tomorrow... And yeah. Not going to work on anything...

Watch that backfire...

Scary Camp Day 6 & 7-- Paintball & Drama

Sparta and Vee playing Paintball! The choice here was between archery and paintball. Heh.. For me... considering I can't draw a bow... (the reason why I never draw any Green Arrow or Arrow-dom fan pieces....) Paintball worked well! 

I had a lot of fun with the background with this one...I must say-- those are some of the purdiest trees I've ever painted. *giggles*  My hands are slowly starting to betray me with each one of these pieces... I know I'm not going to do every day of this challenege... but at least for the days.. I'm getting a kick out of it!

I really went out on a limp for this one. The choice was between drama or tennis for this one... I chose drama.. just because it was an excuse for me to practice some extreme posing and... just add some dynamic qualities to my array of entries. So i choose Cats! One of my favorite musicals. I have to say I am *incredibly* proud of the way this one came out. The HANDS, the poses.. the way they're... just... POSED in general... I probably could have made this way more spectacular if I had more than a day to work on this... 

Not to mention I SO sick.... I had to do this in pieces, in between naps throughout the day...

I dressed Vee as Mr. Mistoffelees (my fav!), Athene as Macavity, and Sparta as Rum Tum Tugger.

Scary Camp Day 5-- Scary Camp Meal!

I've started keeping a bit of a journal for Vee as of late! I kind of did a mass of entries to get her caught up and what have you to keep things all correlated with the days of Scary Camp. I figure with this.. I can have a random character outlet to RP with and everything else. Kinda makes me miss my character LiveJournal RPs that I had going on way back when...

Vee Iris Mitnick's Tumblr

I figured I'd probably just start cross posting entries between here and there but.. Meh... I'll just continue to pimp it out. Heh!

So... today when I woke up, I logged onto check onto the contest and I realized that someone had the NERVE to steal a piece of my art! A background, to be specific. it was from a late contestant that decided to enter the Scary Camp Contest. granted they mentioned that they "stole" it and had a link to me.... I *never* recieved any kind of note or anything from the person saying "Oh hey--! I used your backgournd HERE. I hope that's okay!" or anything like that.

I'm generally a pretty easy going person and I don't mind helping others out from time to time, but you do NOT go and do that! I don't care WHO you are. You *ASK* permission first!!

I figured that the person who did it was SMALL and I recognized the name too.. So I tried to be polite about it and told them: "I'm usually pretty okay with others using certain elements of my art. And I don't mind at all! But next time can you but like... drop me a note just saying "Hey I used your background (here) I hope you don't mind!" or asking next time please? :3 That way I don't freak out or something."

This person responded to all other comments that I wrote on their stuff.... but didn't even bother responding to that particular message.

>.>

I'm pretty pissed off..... I should report the image...

Anyway.. Today's entry was Sparta and Vee eating something yummy... well.. at least for them ^^;

  Update: I don't know WHY this one didn't place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd for the day. I mean.. COME ON!!!! It was way better than some entries. >.<
