Participating in a Contest

So, today's little blurb isn't so much about my shop or my artwork... actually, it's part of a contest I'm entering over on DeviantArt. haha!

This is the first contest I've tried my hand at on DA, and really, it's the first one I've had any interest in participating in! And so, I must give it my best shot!

The contest is being hosted by the amazing duo Worms and Bones. They specialize in making sculpted plushy monsters and I LOVE THEIR WORK TO DEATH!!  ^__^  It's on my "Hit List of Cool Artists to Buy Stuff From"

And here is the information on the contest itself! It'll explain why I'm posting this info up on here. And while you're checking that out, cruise through the comments and see what other people have submitted. There's a lot of great talent there to be appreciated.

Now, since this blog IS mainly for my studio and my art, I do feel the need to jot down some of my thoughts on contests and such.

Hosting a contest is something I've considered a bit, but haven't actually put into progress. It seems to be a good way to get the word out about the artist and give people the opportunity to custom make something they wouldn't otherwise have a chance to purchase otherwise. So I've been taking notes while working on the above contest. Checking out other artists awesome submissions, considering possible rules and restrictions and timelines and such for if I ever decide to do sometime similar.

It's something to keep an eye out for in the future! In the mean time... enjoy the creative works of these 2 talented artists.
