my entry for Onmyoji Fan Art Contest by GO on DeviantArt

Always the same... never know what to write here...
About one month ago I saw Onmyoji Fan Art Contest on DeviantArt and my first thought was "why not" but second "leave it to the pros". Then my friend smiled at me and said "if you don't believe I can do believing for you" (wait, whaaa?)
...anyway...
I started sketch and I was so engaged, so much engaged that I made 4 chars in nice (yeah right) dynamic composition. Generally at this point I need some 3rd person opinion so I showed it Nika (the believing stuff girl) and... crap... "you didn't read the rules, did ya?" I really read the rules but drawing sucked me so hard that I forgot about them... (suure / true story, bro)
...rules, ok there was 1 rule xD - choose one char and make pic with min size of 2000px
...so I was only 3 days behind (oh don't worry, you got someone believing in you xD)...
one week left to the end but it was too late to quit (challenge accepted mode on). I decided to draw Jorogumo - spider and woman hybrid. It's interesting how they are designed (for me) because spider still have his head and it shares eyes with woman.

At this moment I must say that designs of Onmyoji chars are masterpieces for me - it's not a smooth talk, it's how I feel.

Ok, back to drawing - it took me lot of time (still got to work etc.) but finally I submitted it one day before the end. My goal was... what was m goal? Usually it's learning - how to draw new things (designs, compositions, styles) and how to feel (be open minded, fight with pressure, face comments etc.)

At the top of that - I've been chosen as one of the 25 semi-finalists by DeviantArt staff members and an Independent Judge. That's probably Nika fault (and her believing stuff) anyway I want to thank everyone - you really made my day.

The conclusion of everything of this is simple - just do your own and do it best... oh, and stay calm xD
