I really have been neglecting DA a lot.. lol.. I have 5,616 deviations piled up and I rarely ever post anything! I did today though.. and I feel accomplished lol. I really am going to try to draw more.. I have so many things started but not finished. I have a job right now, and I'm starting college January 7th. I know I always say this but I really don't have a lot of time.. I honestly don't know if I'll be drawing more or less once school starts.. I do know that when I was in high school.. I doodled a lot.. so.. more stuff might be popping up. We'll see.

Thanks to everyone who watches me, and for sticking around even while I have an art dry spell.

Hey.. yea it's me! I live! I do check DA kinda often, I swear >.>.. I just am so lazy about drawings right now. I'm also really 'meh' about how my art gallery is right now on DA. I don't entirely approve >.<.. I feel like I have got much better but I just haven't finished anything I have started. I apologize.. D: I'll fix it sometimes soon, I swear!

So, I have a job now at World Market o.o' I also travel to Eugene and Portland often.. oh and I hang out with friends/people about every day and I'm trying to fit in some more family time.. and I have a major and annoying computer problem happening right now and my poor baby snake wont eat.. D: and..and.. @.@... *dies*

Yea.. I'll stop there >.>..

Over all, I'm just kinda saying I've been busy.. and there fore no art has come out of me really.

Tonight was awesome though, I do have to say.

I've been non existant recently. Sorry.

Edit: To the winners.. shipping stuff out will be a little delayed.. because I am having surgery on my leg today, and I will not be able to drive for while. I wanted to try to send out stuff sooner but was not able to.
Thanks.
~ Alisha

If you felt my juding was un fair, mean, or would like to ask what I did or didn't like about your submission, whether you won or not. Send me a note and we can discuss it. No matter what is discussed, it will not change who won.

READ...THE...FRICKEN' RULES FOR JUDGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting extremely tired of this and having to ask people the same questions

Let me make this mor simple for you..
#1. NO MULES!
#2. YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR 2 PEOPLE! I'm getting tired of asking people to vote twice, if you don't vote twice, I won't count the vote you entered!
#3. IF PEOPLE HAVE MULTIPLE ENTRIES, TELL ME WHICH ONE!!!!
#4. VOTE 'IN' THIS JOURNAL ENTRY OR NOTE ME! Stop using my front page!

(Yes I know, Alisha be an angry and fustrated person right now >.< )

Jeez people, please, stop being lazy and read. If you want more detailed info, read below. @.@

CONTEST HAS ENDED!!!! Sory for the late reply, I was at the movies. JUDGING IS IN SESSION NOW! People can comment in this thread, or note me. You have to say what number contestants you vote for. NO MULES PLEASE!!!! (Mule accounts are multiple accounts belonging to the same person, so it looks like another person) There will be consequences if I find out people are using mules to vote. It's not fair to the people of this contest.
PEOPLE HAVE TO VOTE TWICE!! This way, you can vote for your friend, and another person. I first said can, but I want everyone to vote twice. You cannot vote twice for the same person though, to give them 2 votes.
If you entered the contest, you can vote too! I forgot to mention that XP.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS TOO!!! UHG @.@ If the person you vote for has more than one entry, please tell me which entry you choose! I can't believe I forgot that.. I'm so sorry for the inconvience at all! :C

Have fun, be fair, and enjoy ^-^

TELL FRIENDS, FAMILY, EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR YOU!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my first ever DeviantArt contest! Yeay!
Well, I’m female and like men >.>.. ‘cause men are hot XD, so I decided I want to start an art contest to see who can draw me the most sexiest guy! Yeay for teh Alisha thing <3.

What To Draw

Category #1: Miyavi

I love Miyavi with an uber passion, and I want you to draw me him! Drawing him will earn you brownie points from me, over just drawing a random sexy guy. Miyabi, for those of you who don’t know who he is, is a Japanese Rock star that used to be in a band named Due Le Quartz. After the group split he went off on his own and just became ‘Miyavi’. Look up Miyavi on Google images if you need for reference. Miyavi is one crazy, sexy, biatch.. Draw him as one.

Miyavi Rules:-

#1. You CANNOT draw an exact replica of a Miyavi photo! And by that I mean don’t look at a photo of him and copy it. ( I don’t want to pay you to look at a photo and draw it XP..)
#2. You HAVE to include ALL of Miyavi’s tattoo’s that would be showing on his exposed skin in your picture. It’s not hard to find pictures of his tattoo’s.
#3. You may draw Miyavi in famous outfits of his, or any clothes you have seen him wearing. You may also draw him in clothes you think he’d wear, or mix and match his outfits.
#4. You may draw Miyavi with other Jrockers, but Miyavi HAS to be the main focus of your picture.
#5. I FORGOT TO MENTION(I'm so sorry!)! You can not draw Miyavi from Due Le Quartz! Most of his really old, complete girl stuff wasn't too..sexy for me. If you REALLY want to use a Due Le Quartz picture, contact me with the picture to ask if it that outfit is acceptable.
Category #2: Hot Men

Like the title says. If you just CAN’T draw Miyavi, then this is the category for you! Draw me thee most uberly sexy guy you can possibly draw, and I’ll be more than satisfied.

Hot Men Rules, likes, and Dis-likes:-

#1. I do not like Yaoi, but when straight guys act slightly gay with each other, now.. That is pure hot-ness
#2. Blood is allowed, but not a massacre, please..
#3. Bondage is teh sexy-ness, and is allowed, mildly, though. (Gothic-ness is hot too)
#4. No frontal male nudity !(Female also, for that matter o.o’)
#5. Male ass is allowed, but please.. don’t exaggerate it..
#6. I don’t like big, strong, muscle-men. I mean, some muscle is fine, but I don’t need a body builder-DBZ type guy o.o’.
#7. You may have more than one guy in your photo.
#8. You may use anthro’s ONLY in the form of like animal ears and tails (paws I guess are allowed too). I’m sorry but, I’m not attracted to animals. Edit: With exceptions of naga's and mermen. Basically you can't use anything that looks like a full animal that has human posture, and such. Ithink you know what I mean.
#9. You CANNOT use anime characters, or any characters other than your own, and ones you made up.

General Rules:

#1. You may enter as many pictures as you want, but when the time comes to judging, The one I liked best, will be up for judging to the public.
#2. All styles accepted. Anime, realism, fantasy, you name it, other than photo’s, and photo manipulations, are allowed to be entered.
#3. There is no limit on the size you make your picture, but please.. Don’t make it enormous.
#4. This isn’t necessarily a rule, but more of something I’d like. Can you guys comment on here and tell me if your thinking about entering or not? Just so I can at least know people are interested, or thinking about entering? Thanks!
#5. I can’t think of anymore rules other than, a limitless amount of people can enter, and I won’t answer your question if I already have it in the rules!

How to Enter
Once you finish your picture, upload it on DeviantArt, and Note me with the entry. That’s all there is too it.

How long you have:
I’m giving you a BUTT load of time to get your art done! I know how lazy I can get with my art, so I want to give you guys lots of time to.

This Contest ends January 10th, at 10:00 P.M Pacific standard time!
Judging will be by the people, and will be a 1 ½ month judging session. Once the pictures are all judged, I’m going to take the top 10 pictures, and judge them myself, to determine places. This process will only take 5 days.
EDIT!!!!!!: Due to many requests, and to the lack of submissions (I think anyway, compared to my prizes) I'm going to push this contest further. I hope this doesn't upset anyone, but makes more people feel invited to submit more. Come on people! I didn't put out so many prizes to just have 10 people enter T_T. I'm going to have >>>this contest end Feburary 10th, at 10:00 PM Pacific standard time, and a 2 week judging session! Only 1 day more for the top 10 judging from me.<<<

ANOTHER JOURNAL WILL BE ADDED WITH RESULTS AFTER GOING THROUGH MY OWN JUDING PROCESS! Only the top 10 will make it into my juding. I take into account the votes given, along with my judging layout. Thank you all for entering! Look forward to future contests of mine.

-:Thank you!
-Good luck!
-:Tell your friends!!

Comment in this journal, IM me on AIM, or note me on here if you have any questions!
