=Sechskies (_{my partner-in-crime}) and I are currently running our very first contest here in dA. Below are stuff you need to know about the contest (_{taken from sechskies' journal entry} [link])

Our contest is entitled "Bokura no Kioku Thematic Contest" ("BoKuTema" for short), in which you will be drawing the two main characters of our story according to the theme provided.

Below are some character references for Aki and Mifuyu. Please check them out so that you may know what to observe when drawing them, as well as their color themes. A character information for each is also provided in the first pic displayed.

The theme is "Unspoken Love". You have the liberty to interpret this in whatever way you like. Express your ideas or understanding about the theme through you drawings or would-be-entries.

~Anyone who has a DA account is allowed to join the contest.
~One entry only per contestant. Entries can be changed, but for a maximum of two times only. Just send us the link to your new entry so that we can update the list.
~All contestants should include =Sechskies and =chryztal in their watchlist.
~All entries should have Aki and Mifuyu as the focus of the theme. Other characters (even your OC's) can be included, just keep it to minimum.
