dear watchers and visitors,
thank you for viewing and all sorts of support that you've been giving to my gallery so far.

this journal announces the open of a contest where you can win premium and prints!

i am looking forward to reward good art critics so please put your best foot forward. the rules are simple:

choose any deviation in my gallery (excluding scraps), and write a meaningful comment/critique of at least 70 words.

the comment should start with a mention of "for comment/critique contest, december 2012" so that i know it is meant for this purpose.

comments are meaningful when they tells the good points of the artwork clearly and preferably an in-depth analysis. i welcome useful suggestions to improve the artwork.

you can enter more than one comment/critique for the contest but you can only win one place.

contest starts from today and end at midnight of 17th january 2013, singapore time.

i am the sole judge for this contest.

three winners will be chosen:
best critic will get 6 months' premium and an A4 print of the deviation where the winning comment is placed.
runner-up will get 3 months' premium and an A4 print of the deviation where the winning comment is placed.
2nd runner-up will get 1 month's premium and an A4 print of the deviation where the winning comment is placed.
(please note that the prints are sent directly from me and are NOT deviantART prints. quality of these prints are good, i sell them at conventions.)

if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
i look forward to your continued support.
