Would anyone be up for a fanart contest for Seven Feudal Fairy Tales? I was an artist before I was a writer and I'm kind of consistently saddened by the fact that there is so little fanart out there for it. I would like to see what people imagine when they read my story. There would be prizes of course and naturally my gratitude

Absolutely! I've been in the mood to draw some fanart, and I think Seven Feudal Fairy Tales is just the story for some artistic inspiration. The picture may take some time to post since I'm currently working on my old 98 Windows computer, but hopefully this situation will be remedied soon. By the way, where would you like the fanart posted?

I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to get a feel for what the turn out would be. I might just do it here if it's okay with Miss Kagura. all the same, I have one person who will post something. Yay!!

Of course it's fine! Although, in all fairness, Demonlordlover puts a huge amount of work into the site too. I'm just more...well, I have no job, and can hang around and post on the forum more often.

Yay for no job Although, it does seriously suck to be unemployed...

As for the contest, I think I'll wait a few chapters before announcing its possibility. I think the turnout should be decent.

Ooh, I'd totally be interested, I love your story! It'd be fun to try and put some of your amazing imagrey to paper. I've got some other projects that I need to wrap up before I start anything new, so waiting awhile would be perfect for me. ^_^;;

Lol, and I know how you feel, I started out drawing, and always I want to see how other people would portray my stories--just because I *can* draw it myself doesn't change that!

You know I think it's because artwork is so precious to those of us who do it. When others show their appreciation or interest in our writing by drawing a picture, it's very satisfying on a deeply personal level. That someone did more than write a nice review/comment, but they took the added time to make a picture. As far as I know there's only one other fanart out there of my story that wasn't drawn by me. And that one picture means a lot to me.

I would enter! Ideas for fanart for your story have been tickling at the back of my mind since the first chapter. ^.^ <3333

Lady B --

I totally know where you are coming from. I am working on a Sess/Kag/Rin piece for Hikari Hime's story 'When the Sun Rises'. First of all, I am totally captivated by her story. So I figured, what better way to express my appreciation than to draw her a picture! Even if nobody else interpreted the scene the way I do, or even if she has a different idea for how it should look, I know that it conveys how I feel about it. I was moved enough by the story to capture it visually with art. If someone did that for my story I would be so touched! So yeah....I get what you are saying.

Fanart is simply a visual version of the appreciation a reader or viewer has of someone else's work. I think that it usually hits the original artist somewhere very close to home (in a good way) because as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I'm sure that there are several people who would not only be willing, but happy to draw a fanart for your story if you let them know that it's something you'd be interested in seeing.

I'd be interested in drawing some fan art for your story too! Drawing was my first passion as well, so I get a great deal of sadisfaction from it. ^^ I don't imangine I'd have a snowball chance in h** of winning, but, I'd sure have fun drawing a pretty picture!

I know of one person that is an amazing artist but i doubt i could get him to draw anything for anything inuyasha related...which is really weird cuz he is the one who introduced me to IY. but i will try, here is a LINK to his deviantART gallery, if you think he has the potential for this contest let me know please!

I've got a Q&A filler chapter coming up, so I'll announce it then. I'm excited at the idea of it and I'm glad to see that there is quite a bit of interest in its happening.

Lady Sianna

Your artwork is wonderful. You are much better than you think.

He has a few IY pieces... Well, if you can intrigue him with a few ideas, maybe he'll do it. I'll sort out the contest dates this weekend with my new post of SFFT.

Thank you Ladybattousai! I really appreciate the compliment on my art. I'll be keeping an eye out for information about the contest. I already have in mind what I want to draw. XDDD

Even if I don't win, I'll have fun drawing it!

I'm practically bursting with glee merely knowing that the next story is Momotaro. I grew up on Momotaro. I swear you will get fanart for your Kagome!Momotaro, contest or no. 8D;;

You know, Mamasama, I think it's even worse when you can't draw what you see.

I've always had a very vivid imagination, and when I write I use it a lot and it's okay, but I'm very very frudtrated because it seems I never can illustrate what my mind's eye see properly. There are so many scenes, from my stories or from others like the astounding "Seven Feudal Fairy Tales" that I would like to draw about...

Anyway, I'd like to have a go at this contest (actually, I've just drawn something for it lol, this story is so inspiring!)

Makes me wish I had a talent for drawing. I can only share some photos I took of floats featuring Susano-O And the Momotaro gang.

I might have other floats on the myths but been awhile since I peeked into the files I saved of the photos from Japan.

I want to enter your contest if you decide to hold one. The one fanart I did was so much fun I have to do another! Please let me know if you're having a contest. Concerning the newer chapters, I have a feeling I'll be having fun with Sesshy being shirtless *evil grin*

LOL
I'd love to do a fan art contest
WOOH haha
It'll be cool
LOL
Can't wait to see wat my imagination comes up with
I hope you go through with this

Much Love
J-angel

P.S. Love ur story - Seven Feudal Fairytales

Yeah Lady B, if you still want to do this, I'll draw another picture! My skillz with my tablet have improved somewhat since you first presented this idea, so it'd be even better! Well, it'd be less frustrating for me at least!
