've been wanting to post this journal since last week. In fact, I've already submitted a draft in my Stash. But... one of my dear friends was brutally murdered in his own house last weekend, with multiple stab wounds in his upper body. He's an openly gay man, but a real good person. He never once let me down whenever I needed a friend. He's jolly, hyper, very talkative, and there's never a dull moment when he's around. Autopsy reports said the wounds on his face were inflicted slowly one at a time at different times that night as they ransacked his house, like the perpetrators were enjoying themselves in seeing him suffer like that. They could have just stolen his money or whatever and left him alone unharmed, but they chose to torture him like an animal. It's horrifying how someone you don't know can take away your life in such manner. It's just unbelievable. I will miss him forever.

I couldn't bring myself to post this journal as I was grieving, but I have to get this over with. I owe it to you for joining my contest. Don't worry about your art prizes from me, guys! I will make them and deliver them to you as soon as I can, although I don't know how long it will take me to get the spark back. Don't forget to note me the details. As for the cash prizes for Grand Winners, please note me your PayPal emails also so I can send them tomorrow. Your points will be given tomorrow as well.

Thank you everyone for understanding.

o I've finally finished looking at all the details on each entry and I'm quite happy with the overall results of this contest. It's been really fun! And just like in my previous contest, you guys gave me a hard time deciding on the winners again, so I tweaked the prizes a little bit so I won't feel bad for anyone that much.

I chose the Grand Winning entries based mainly on which designs I can actually see my OCs wearing if they were in the real world. I also chose the designs based on how much they fit all four of my OCs if I were to genderbend my OCs or "swap" their clothes. As for the Honorable Mentions, I can also see my OCs wearing these designs but not as much as those I chose as grand winners.

Winner Announcement Journal!

Edit 4: Contest is officially CLOSED coz it's already 2 days past my 3rd extension. To all who showed me their works-in-progress and requested for the extension but didn't get to finish, I've already given you enough time so I'm sorry! If you get to finish them later, though, upload them and maybe I can give you something in return for your effort (?)
Announcement of Winners will be on June 18 (Tuesday). Thanks everyone and good luck to all who joined!
Edit 3: New deadline AGAIN!!! ...for all you who requested

June 8 (Saturday), that's it. The contest has been going on for 3 months and I still have to make the journal for my next contest, too, so I can't make the period for this one longer than it already is.
Edit 2: Extended contest deadline to May 31 coz I'll be a bit busy with the 2013 elections next week. Also, I thought I'd be finished with Bridgette's ref sheet

Matching Outfits Contest Grand Winners! (in no particular order)

CE: Matching Outfits! by forgottenpantaloons

I love the matching outfits for Sunday and Lockett. I can see them wearing those clothes while attending a party. Lockett and Bridgette can also swap outfits! This entry was submitted late and you can see a human ear hanging down Lockett's bunny ear, but I adore the outfits and that's all that matters for me.

Sherlock Holmes in a Star Trek timeline. Sophisticated and highly fashionable. Just WOW!

Maid Café-ish in an anime convention. Midnite can be the emcee, Sunday will be a waitress, while Lockett and Bridgette will be busy giving girls some very hot fan service. Totally cute and adorable

Victorian Era --very stylish and can be used in various stories. I'd better practice drawing some more lace!

If my OCs were vocaloid (or something similar), they'd be wearing these!

This deserves everyone's attention! Her artwork would have been another great contender if only she has been a deviantart member earlier than Jan. 10, 2013.
