Here are the highly anticipated (well, maybe not highly, but hopefully anticipated) winners of the Salad Days contest Arada and myself have collaborated together.
Our first prize, the "Best of Show" award, goes to AnhDang for her entry, SPRING SKIES: Drew and Annarie</acronym>.

She wins:
a full body, original character drawn by myself and colored by Arada5 chibis of her choice by Aradaan artist feature in Dyemelikeasunset's journalan artist feature for two months in Arada's and my journal2-3 character drawings by Arada
mangareaderrad was our very first contestant. This contest was slow to start with, which was rather discouraging to say the least. So her entry, Will you</acronym>, has special significance to Arada and myself.

She wins:
a colored character portrait (i.e. headshot) drawing with a chibi version accompanying it (Arada and I will decide who draws and colors what)an artist feature for one month in Arada's and my journal
WhiteTigaw went above and beyond the call by creating an entry for each of the four seasons. Wow! In the end, Arada and myself decided on WWP Summer Vacation</acronym>.
She wins:
a colored character portrait (i.e. headshot) drawing with a chibi version accompanying it (Arada and I will decide who draws and colors what)an artist feature for one month in Arada's and my journal
Arada and myself were very impressed by Honguu-Setsubi's entry, .Happy Easter.</acronym>. Honestly, we were pretty close to making the "Best of Show" a tie between AnhDang and Honguu-Setsubi.
She wins:
a colored character portrait (i.e. headshot) drawing with a chibi version accompanying it (Arada and I will decide who draws and colors what)an artist feature for one month in Arada's and my journal
I was keeping my fingers crossed that ZeeBluePiggy would have something for the contest. She did not disappoint with her entry, SD That One Tree</acronym>.
She wins:
a colored character portrait (i.e. headshot) drawing with a chibi version accompanying it (Arada and I will decide who draws and colors what)an artist feature for one month in Arada's and my journal
Arada's choice:
WhiteTigaw, mangareaderrad, and Honguu-Setsubi will be getting an icon for deviantArt from Arada.
silentsketcher's choice:
WhiteTigaw and Slayer-1412 will each receive a sketch from myself. The details we can figure out later. Just ask.
the past few months
So, in a nut shell, there have been several rather big happenings in my personal life over the past few months. Among these has been moving out and into my friend Blake's place, where we're now housemates. I still live in my home town, but get to be out more in the countryside, which we both enjoy for the additional privacy and larger property. I've enjoyed having more interior space to myself and finding a knack for decorating. I've been here since January, but I'm still sorting through boxes. I'll be glad when everything is in its proper place and I can survey it all and say, "done." Satisfying? You bet.
But then of course there's the two
Afterlife Inc. Kickstarter
Jonathan Lock, a very talented writer living in the United Kingdom, began a Kickstarter this month to fund 'Afterlife, Inc.' volume 3: Lifeblood. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonlock/afterlife-inc-volume-3-lifeblood The last ten days until the deadline will start tomorrow, and currently he's £2,300 short of the needed goal amount. Read the stories for free on the 'Afterlife, Inc.' website and see for yourselves that it is a worthwhile series to follow and support. http://www.jonlock.com/afterlifeinc
If you can give even a few dollars (or pounds, rather) that would be great. Every little bit helps. So let's help make sure that volume t
car shopping
Been perusing over vehicles as of late, as the ol' Oldsmobile Silhouette ('97) is getting a bit, well, old. I've been looking for something with a decent amount of space to accommodate convention materials and, if able, similar materials belonging to friends along with said friends. I'm leaning towards the hatchback variants of either the '12 Ford Focus (new) or Toyota Prius (used), no older than an '09 or '08. But the latter really depends on the price that can be negotiated, as it seems to be the better vehicle of the two. (I mean, you can't get much better than an average of 41 mpg.) In either case, Consumers Report gave both good ratings.
another brief update
As mentioned last time, I'll be attending the Detroit FanFare comic convention in late October with my usual table colleague, Jason Westlake. And like last year, I'll be carpooling and rooming with friends AdamWithers (https://www.deviantart.com/adamwithers) and ComfortLove (https://www.deviantart.com/comfortlove), creators of such works as 'The Uniques' and 'Rainbow in the Dark'. (Always an enjoyable time, spending it with those two. Jason, too, of course.) In the meantime, I'll be working when time allows between regular job hours to have more material prepared in time for the show. Mainly more sketch cards, a more recent sketchbook, and perhaps a pin-up or two. Which, by the by, is not including the 11x17" var

WAAAAAAAAH, NO WAI. SO CLOSE TO BE PART OF THE BEST OF THE SHOW AS WELL.
Anyhow, I'm, urgh, so damn proud. Thank you very very much for the compliment.
I just have a question: even though I still did'nt get an answer, I asked Arada if it would be better to negotiate the prizes via note. However, as you guys still don't know who will do what in the headshot and chibi, should I also note you if you both agree?
(AH, OMG OMG. I just noticed the honorary mention. OHMUGAH.)
Thank you so much for the funny contest. Yays for you both~ XD
