Megami Saga: Resurrection Contest 1



Update 7/19: Digital contest is over and the Physical contest has started (Work related things cause a post delay) if you want to vote for your favorite entry. I'll start until now until 7/19 and remember the voting counts for 25% of the score which can easily bump you up or down a place.
Update 7/15: Digital Voting is almost over If you haven't voted please do so now due to it's 25% of the total score.  The Physical Voting will begin on Friday from 7/18 to 7/28.
Update 7/6: Submissions are now closed and the voting process will begin Monday.
Update 7/3: The voting process will begin by the end of Monday 7/7 Starting with the digital chapter 2 entries then the physical vol entries.  The poll will be open 10 days each and the final vote will be decided by a small group of judges and the open poll.
Update 6/17: Extended the deadline to July to better sync it with the first chapter and to see if any more people will submit more entries.

Update 5/19: The chapter 1 digital contest is over if you didn't get a chance to enter you still have the chance submit an artwork for the physical VOL and digital issue 2 entries which will both end on 6/21.  Due to one entry at the moment and I assume the rest are going to enter the second round the current entry will win by default and I’ll post and notify the artist shortly.

 Update 5/1: Up the the total prize amount by $20 and released a final date of the chapter 1 digital entry
 Update 5/11: Remember the cut off for the chapter 1 entry ends on the end of 5/18 and remember the entry pool for chapter 1 will also be used for chapter 2 thus you can get up to two chances to win.

With the next announcement I’ll like to announce my third contest.  I've been debating if I should go thought with it or not but I decided to go thought with it so hopefully it’ll meet expectations and I can do this more often.  With than in mind I’ll like to officially announce the Megami Saga: Resurrection art contest.

 

Theme

The theme is simple you can draw any character from the upcoming Megami Saga series below in any setting of your choosing sans a few rules. You can use more than one character but only characters in the Megami Saga series.

How to Win


Digital feature

 

Once you enter you have two times to win the contest the first entry cut off for chapter 1 will begin on May 17 and chapter 2 cut off will begin on July 5. A few random judges will pick up 3~5 artwork and 2~5 artwork will be chosen at random for the final selection where the DA community will vote for their favorite picture along with the judges.  You’ll have around a week to vote and the voting power will be 75/25 and the artwork with the highest percent of votes will win the prize. 


Physical feature

Once you enter you have until July 19 to submit your artwork and on the deadline a few random judges will pick up 3~5 artwork and 2~5 artwork will be chosen at random for the final selection where the DA community will vote for their favorite picture along with the judges.  You’ll have around a week or two to vote and the voting power will be 75/25 and the artwork with the highest percent of votes will win the prize while the runner up will win the 2nd place prize.

Feature grand prize winner

This prize will be hand picked and announce on the July from either the Physical or Digital feature pool.




I plan on increasing the prizes depending on how well the first digital chapter of Megami Saga sales and depending on the sales and reception i might do this for VOL 2.

I'm going to have my next April/May announcement on May 3 and I think if you like games you'll like the upcoming news.

If Megami Saga: Resurrection looks like it'll have no problem crossing 200 sales at launch i'll announce another giveaway for non artist at the end of the month.

FAQ


How many characters can I use?

You can use as many characters as you want in the artwork.

 

How will the final votes be decided?

It’ll be a dual voting system where the community will vote for their favorite artwork while the judges will select their top 3 artwork in terms of rank.  When the voting ends the combined average will determine the winner.

 

So the first round will be picked by judges and by random?

Yes around half will be selected to by judges and the other half will be done at random to give everyone a equal chance to shine.

 

Nudity isn’t allowed but what about ecchi content?

Yes no nudity but any ecchi type content must be tasteful to an extent but it’s best to ask before you try any.

 

Will the amount of prizes increase?

Yes but it will depend on the sales of Megami Saga: Resurrection chapter 1 due to I’ll need to sell at least 100 digital copies to break even from the contest not including other advertisements and other cost.


Can I use the chibi version of the characters?

Yes
