So, today was my birthday and I was super excited to spend time with family. Sound off? Well, I have a cool family. We are all freaks together. So meh. But I digress....We got back to my house after a dinner out and there was this great penut butter-chocolate pie set up with Alice in Wonderland (Disney) figures. I flipped out, naturally, and made some rather interesting faces and noises towards it until we finally ate the pie. After which I proceeded to playing with the figurines. Yes, even seventeen-year-olds can enjoy themselves by playing with Alice in Wonderland cake toppers, because I say so. The Mad Hatter was getting yelled at by the Queen as he helplessly tried to explain his shinanigans (what a great word!). The White Rabbit was trying to talk to the Tweedles...getting nowhere, and Alice and Chess were standing to the side laughing at everyone else. I got so many great gifts. One of my faves was a mug with the illustration of Cheshire Cat from the books, and when you put hot liquid in it everything but his grin disappears! I am such a Cheshire geek

Moreover, the way my royalty payments are set up for my book, I do not get paid until my royalties add up to 100$, which is taking a while because I only get 1/3 of the money from each book. That wouldn't bother me, really, because I just want people to read my story, but I suddenly find myself in need of that money. Not for the reason one might think, but instead for an artistic reason: the materials for my new tail come out around 500 dollars. Without a new tail, I can neither produce new picture, nor can I earn money from performing. Also, it is a cruel thing for a mermaid to go without a tail for very long  

Therefore, I ask for your support. Though by no means will I be upset if you do not respond to this, as I am already very grateful for the attention given to my art alone, I would be highly grateful for any help anyone could give

That just came on my mind right now. Why? Well

if you're interested in, you'll find out soon.

That's the simple part. All you gotta do is

comment: "DAMN Dishwashers"

and write the journal about this contest. (Of course you gotta send me the link to the journal.)

Because I want many people to join, to see many different entries etc.

And because some people would love to enter a contest like this, maybe (?)

Well, contest is about desinging me a new character.

In my opinion I'm bad at desinging characters, I always

try to make new ones. And I'm kinda getting sick of this.

Well, I really don't know what you're good at drawing.

Here, I'll just make a list of what I kinda want to enter with:

- A FOX CHARACTER

- A CAT CHARACTER

- A KIND OF POKEMON CHARACTER

- A DOG CHARACTER

Actually somehow I could say, what I want is an animal character.

Well you can also draw something else, like..I don't know..your own species.

It might bring you more or less luck. But what I'm really looking for is _{a wolf or fox character with a demon side.}

Time for rules.. Please don't ignore them,

or I will ignore your entry! Even if I'll love it.

I think this is the most important thing you gotta know:

But I'll warn you guys before, so yeah..

- I MUST BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER A LITTLE IF I WANT TO.

- DON'T MAKE EXCUSES LIKE "I won't enter cause I cant draw, so sorry. :c" CAUSE IT'S NOT TRUE. EVERYONE HAVE TRIE STYLE!
