..pardon the long info on this...mainly cut and pasted from my blog post ^^;;
............
Want to get your hands on the Black Rock Shooter Nendoroid or the Figma figure? How about both? Long overdue on this site is a fresh new contest. So to make up for the lack of contests in the past year I'll make the winner of this one have BOTH of those figures! (...and a bit more (read on))
Chuck's Anime Shrine has been around for some time and back in 2002 I created this site to be a shrine to anime with anime sections representing various series (more on those old sections in a future post). Also for years I've been throwing around some mascots that my fiancee came up with in 2003 and with life's little challenges, these mascots have been kept on the back burner for WAAAAY too long. Time to change that once and for all!
Fumi is the name of my main mascot (Fumi Kobayashi to be exact) and she also has two other characters with her. No I'm not copying Danny Choo's three mascots; If I just simply focused more on them, you'd have seen them before even Danny's wonderful trio ^^;; Fumi is still to eventually be a part of a game I want to make and she can transform into an Angel or Demon version of herself ^^ (more on that below)
Since the figure business part of this site has been on the grow, I have to do what any legit business needs to do, create a logo. It's not exactly good that I continue to use copyrighted characters in my banners ^^;; so it's time to bring my personal trio of mascots to the limelight and brand this site...so I need YOUR help.
The goal of the contest; create a logo for this site using our three mascots, Fumi, Lily and Yumi.
I know many of you are talented or budding artists and I want to give you all hand in both exposure and maybe even employment. Since Chuck's Anime Shrine is a legit business, you can use any potential logo creation as an entry in your portfolio for employers (and I'll gladly reference you..heck down the road). The winner of this contest might also get future logo/advertisement work with this site/business and if I get to the point hiring in the next year or two, that option can be on the table as well ^_^
What I'm looking for in a logo:
* A shrine image, (which by the way is the Yasukuni Shrine in the current logo...). Use this as the base of the image, but if you can, design your own shrine top.
* An image of either Fumi (her normal school girl, angel or demon forms), Lily, and/or Yumi (can have all or a mix of them. Example images and character bios below for direction.
Prizes:
Grand Prize:
* 1 Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter Figure
* 1 Figma Black Rock Shooter Figma Figure
* Logo featured on site (rotating banner)
* Logo featured on the store section, CAS business cards and any other potential promotion material*
* Artist's own bio section on this site with links to other works, deviantart site, etc
Secondary Prize (up to 4 runners up)
* Your logo rotating on this site and blog
*By entering a logo/banner to this contest, you agree to allow me and my company, Chuck's Anime Shrine, to use your initial logo for business cards, magazine ads or any other type of advertisement. The landing/bio page about you will be to help credit you for the work (as well as the figures won in this contest with any future deals done)
Simple mascot bios and resources for the logo creation:
Fumi Kobayashi:
* Typical anime school girl but has psychic powers and can transform in either an angel or a demon at will. Ok, still somewhat a typical anime girl ^^;;
* Her normal form is that of a school girl in the good old Japanese uniform, aiming for the old-school blue hair for her.
* In her angel form she gets long blond hair and looks like a princess/goddess
* In her demon form, she sports more of a sexy, sinister look; sporting black or red hair
Lily:
* Fumi's guardian and the typical chibi character, but not in the chubby/stubby chibi proportions. She's a tiny pink haired fairy about the size of the fairies in say, Shugo-Chara.
Yumi:
* She's meant to be the guide of this site. She's a chibi shrine maiden with reddish pink eyes, and ruffled brown hair. She wears the typical white and red shrine maiden outfit
* She carry's around a "Chuck" doll; basically a plush of me with X_X eyes that has spiky blond hair and a blue dress-shirt
Images of them that we came up with can be found on the original blog post of this contest here
I already got this one entry as of today ^^
I don't have any images of Lily at the moment ^^;; my fiancee Danielle did draw her but hopefully the description of her will help.
Contest will go on until I get 5 solid entries. If I get a bunch in before July, then I'll have the cut off date be July 15th or when the Black Rock Shooter Figures arrive to my store.
oh and the logo/banner size should be 982px × 249px, .png or .jpg (almost forgot to specify this ^^;;)
Good luck and have fun ^^
WIN both BRS figures ^_^
sorry for being stupid, but I assume what you want is : a banner design of a shrine with the girls that you picked, the girls can be either mascot type/full body drawing
please correct me if I'm wrong >.<
you are correct....sorry for the rather seemingly fine details ^^;;;;
an example of one of our mascots.. Yumi
I'd like to try...but...
hopefully you don't mind with bad drawing >.<
no worries ^_^. At the very least..I'll have fan banners (with credits) rotating on my site. I am looking for professional logo designs since I'll be using it for my anime store..but I'm not the greatest artist in the world. My avi you currently see is something I drew ^^;;
either way...give it a shot if you'd like
Sounds like a grand opportunity! Will take you up on that offer as soon as finals are over (Thursday). Good luck to all participants!
sounds good ^_^ The BRS figures come out in July I think but I'm getting a bunch so I'll b holding them until the logos start flowing in.
i will try ^^
Help bring our long overdue mascots to life and these both with be yours ^_^ (once released)
Fumi and Yumi drawn by my fiancee ^^ (just so you all have an idea)
Uh, I'll Try. What kind of style do you like? I'm fexible.
Here http://creppe.deviantart.com/ On the webcam section is a quick preview of my personal style.
I'd say a moe-ish look. I like your style on the webcam section there. Very nice ^_^
Alright. I may start tonight, Thanks for the information. Cx I have been unable to buy the BRS so this may be a second chance. >3<
Cool deal ^_^ worst case, I still have a bunch of BRS reserves left in my store (both the Nendo and figma).. so if you don't win..I might be able to hook you up with them as well ^^....of course, aim for the free ones first :P.
Haha, Yes. That would also be good. But yes, aim high first.
forgot to ask, is it possible to give more than one design?
sure, the more the merrier ^_^ there's three mascots, Fumi, Yumi, Lily, so any combo is fine.
I'll give it a go!
i think that i will make mine with Yumi >,< I think that she fit perfectly with the shirne >,<
but if you don't ming i will draw her hair a little bit longer, to give more movement to the draw
Sure, that's perfectly fine ^_^ Yeah, Yumi is definitley perfect for the shrine ^^ Fumi and Lily were my original mascots from 2003 that I also wanted to make a cool flash/ portable video game for... one day that will happen ^^;;
i send you my participation >,<
If after see it you want to see more of my artwork please visit my deviantart! http://kenneos.deviantart.com/
Most definitely..my goodness that banner you sent is amazing 0_0
I'm happy if you had like it!!! ^^
Oh nice this gives me another opportunity to get back into drawing again I'll see what I can come up with.
Erm... I'd really like to join but I can't do Digital drawing. I can only draw on paper. XD
I am gonna enter this one, but I was wondering does Lily have any references? I couldn't find any @w@
Sorry for nothing to work on for Lily ^^;; Lily. She's a chibi, Pink haired fairy character. My original plan was that she was to be small magical girl that was to act as Fumi's informant and also a protection for her (via barrier magic) in the video game I so hope I can get back to work on ^^;;
Gonna enter for sure. :) I've been wanting these two since they have been announced. <3
Still, I'll have to wait until school finishes (June 12th) before starting out or I'll be in trouble with scores... ^^;;
No problem ^_^ those BRS figures don't come out until the end of July into august...more likely I'l have them in August since us US anime store owners tend to get the last licks on things compared to say Play-asia, Hobby-Search, etc -_-
