The main purpose of these contests are to gather drawings of our Ragnarok Online characters
(CONTEST A) and our original characters
(CONTEST B) as much as we can. It is because we want more arts of these characters (in various drawing/coloring styles) but we're too lazy to draw them ourselves, can't afford to commission many artists and have not much time to do art trade with everyone.
CONTEST DURATION
Contest A : June 1st, 2007 - Oct 6th, 2007 EXTENDED TO Oct 20th, 2007 ENDED
Contest B : July 7th, 2007 - October 15th, 2007 ENDEDWe would like to thank the deviants below :
