Are you good at portraying people? Are you a fan of vampires? Do you like wolves or werewolves? Do you have a penchant for dragons and you like to draw? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, you're in the contest for you!
Welcome to my first REAL contest on deviantart. (There was another, smaller, but that does not count ...).
This is a kind of statistical contest ... to the character that will be many times designed and therefore appreciated among my OC, surely will be granted to survive the final battle of the Way of Legends (or any battle).
But 'nuff said! I know you want to know the rules and prizes, not stupid fuss about why I'm even launching a contest and how it's cool that there is a possibility for any kind of artist, a wide choice, including more than twenty characters, and tons of great prizes for all (including mere participants, those who did not win anything)!

ITA
Siete bravi a ritrarre persone? Siete degli appassionati di vampiri? Vi piacciono i lupi o i licantropi? Avete un debole per i draghi e vi piace disegnarli? Se avete risposto di si ad almeno una di queste domande, siete nel contest che fa per voi!
Benvenuti al mio primo VERO contest su deviantart. (ce n'è stato un altro, più piccolo, ma quello non conta niente...).
Questo è una sorta di contest statistico... al personaggio che sarà più volte disegnato e dunque apprezzato, fra i miei OC, sarà concesso sicuramente di sopravvivere alla battaglia finale del Cammino delle Leggende (o comunque a qualunque battaglia).
Ma bando alle ciance! Io so che volete sapere regole e premi, non stupide smancerie sul perchè sto indicendo un contest e su quanto sia figo che ci sia una possibilità per ciascun tipo di disegnatore, una scelta vastissima, fra oltre venti personaggi, e tonnellate di splendidi premi per tutti (compresi i semplici partecipanti, quelli che non vinceranno nulla)!

RULES/REGOLE:

ENGLISH:
...---:::+++\- RULES -/+++:::---...
0. To partecipate to my contest, simply you have to draw one or more of my Original Character ([link]. You can choose the style and can draw my OCs, for example, in animal form or chibi. You can draw also them like children, teens or adults (at your choice). It's allowed (and encouraged) the drawing of my Oc with your Oc! Is good too the crossover with other series of manga and anime (like Hellsing or Black Butler) or Tv Series (I love Doctor Who and Lost).
1. Accepted digital, pixel, cosplay, photo, papercraft, sculpture and traditional art.
2. Not accepted literature (in reality, is accepted, but only in Italian, sorry!)

4. You can upload more entries
5. There are two categories: single and couple. The prizes are higher for the couple category.
6. For the category couple: we are in search of inspiration, so, you can draw what of my OC you want with another of my OC of your choice. Yes, free pairings of any type! XD
7.Every drawing with one or more couple of my original characters will participate in the category "couple". Every crossover will participate in the category "single"
8. If you want, you can write a journal for spread my contest. If you spread my contest, give me a link in this journal and I give you a digital sketch of what you want! (One of your Oc's for example, or your favourite anime character)
9. If you want to add a prize, comment here in this journal [link], please. If you add a prize (every kind of prize, for example a featuring on your journal, a lineart, points, money, free favs etc.) you will have a free digital sketch or a chibi from me! Yes. With every kind of prize offered.
10. If participants will be less than twenty, will be activated awards only for the first and second places in each category. So, spread the word, everyone must participate!

13. Deadline: 31 August 2013

ITALIANO:
...---:::+++\- REGOLE -/+++:::---...
0. Per partecipare al mio contest, semplicemente, devi disegnare uno o più dei miei personaggi originali ([link]. Puoi scegliere lo stile in cui li disegnerai e farli, per esempio, in forma animale o chibi. Puoi anche disegnarli come bambini, adolescenti o adulti. E' anche permesso (e incoraggiato) disegnare i miei Oc con i tuoi Oc! Vanno benissimo persino i crossover con altre serie (ricordiamo per esempio che Provolino abita con gli Hellsing e che io adoro i crossover con Doctor Who e con Lost).
1. E' accettata arte digitale, pixel, cosplay, foto (magari tu somigli ad uno dei miei personaggi, chi lo sa...), papercraft, scultura e arte tradizionale.
2. Pezzi di letteratura sono accettati solo ed esclusivamente in italiano.
3. Puoi usare una base, ma niente fatto con giochi di dress-up o roba del genere.
4. Puoi partecipare con quanti disegni (o lavori in generale) vuoi. Più disegni e più sono le tue probabilità di vincere!
5. Ci sono due categorie: singolo e coppia. I premi sono ovviamente più alti per la categoria coppia.
6. Per la categoria coppia: siamo in cerca di ispirazione, perciò puoi disegnare quale Oc desideri in coppia con un'altro dei miei Oc. Si, pairing liberi di ogni tipo! (Devo essere impazzita a scrivere queste regole XD)
7. Se vuoi, puoi scrivere un journal per pubblicizzare il mio contest. Se pubblicizzi il mio contest, mostrami il link in cui l'hai pubblicizzato per avere in cambio uno sketch in digital art!
8. Ogni disegno con una o più coppie di miei personaggi originali parteciperà alla categoria "coppia". Ogni crossover parteciperà alla categoria "singolo".
9. Se vuoi aggiungere un premio, commenta in questo journal qui [link], per favore. Se aggiungi un premio (qualunque tipo di premio, per esempio un featuring sul tuo journal, una lineart, punti, disegni, soldi, favoriti gratis, ecc.) tu riceverai uno sketch in digitale o un chibi gratis da me! Si. Con ogni tipo di premio offerto. Se offri premi più "grossi", tipo più di tre disegni o più di cinquanta punti, riceverai due o più sketch (a seconda di quanto grosso è il premio).
10. Se i partecipanti saranno meno di venti, saranno attivati solo i primi e secondi premi di ogni categoria. Perciò, passate parola e pubblicizzate! tutti devono partecipare!
11. I premi possono aumentare (ed è una cosa buona, no?)
12. Linkami il tuo disegno/opera qualunque, in questo journal (non leggo nel pensiero, come potrei sapere che partecipi?)
13. Termine ultimo per la partecipazione: 31 Agosto 2013
