Contests
Don't forget that the Art Gallery closes its submissions for the Opterix at 11:59 PM tonight. It is currently feeling sad and lonely, as it hasn't gotten a lot of submissions. If this continues, we'll be removing the "one artwork win per month" rule to ensure we get six a week.
So why not give it a shot? You have a decent chance of winning!

To elaborate a little more: I think this has just been a busy week. It's mid May, school is probably either ending for most people, or finals are going on. Not prime time for a complicated bird drawing.
Again, I had finals Monday, and was busy packing up my dorm room Tuesday/Wednesday. Annnd now I don't have a scanner even if I did finish my Opterix >A> I think it was just a bad week for a lot of people. Maybe the art contest should be extended ? Every two weeks for a contest?

I actually entered for this... but yeah, I think I'm banned from entering. Oh well.

I keep forgetting the Art Gallery even exists. Maybe I could make something decent really quick.

I think I would have to agree with Thymbra. I've had one hell of a week myself. I can't post for the Art gallery until the 15th of next Month because of the Lunaris Day thing, but I do believe that a lot of people who had a lot of time previously have found themselves short for time this week and that's probably what most of the problem is.
Also, I suggest that if you're going to end up removing the 'only able to win once a month' thing out of necessity than maybe make it 'you can only win every two/three weeks'? Not that I think removing it is a great idea but if you gotta do what you gotta do then that might be a better way that letting the same people win ever week.
You probably have though of this already, but I figured I'd pitch in my 2 cents worth.

I was planning on entering, but just haven't had time to sit down and draw anything this week. :T I'd love it if you guys would consider giving us a couple of week's themes in advance, so we have more time to work on a piece. I also think the "only able to win once per month" should stay in place. Otherwise, like people have said, it's just going to be the same people winning over and over again, and that's boring.

Ugh, not again with the "Nobody likes anything that isn't wolf/dragon" nonsense...the amount of support/excitement for the Opterix should be enough to demonstrate that isn't true. And if artists aren't submitting because of the fact that Aywas owns the copyrights to the submission then their loss because the sites they submit to such as Deviant Art are doing the exact freaking thing! Its not like Slash is going to go around saying he worked hard on making the art pieces.....

Oh and yes this would most likely work better if it were done monthly or at least two times a month. I'm sitting out this round cuz I've got art projects up to my neck >.>

Also agreed with Thymbra. I posted earlier about not having enough time, and today I got about... 50% of an amazing picture done for this contest, and now I have to work and wont be home till after the contest ends. ._. So.. Yeah. I wish I had more time for these things. I really wanted to enter into this. Lessthanthree. good luck to everyone who got something done, I cant wait to see them. ^^

I've never been any good at feathers, wings, or birds in general, so I'm choosing the sit this one out.
I'm also trying really hard not to be a pouty baby for not even placing with my Lunaris entry, but I have to admit that I'm not experiencing total success in that endeavor. Time will heal my wounded pride XD
