Thanks guys! It's actually a drawing with coloured pencils though, not a painting. I think it took...8 hours, maybe? I'm not quite sure, it was done over a couple of evenings.

(I sure as hell am not xD).

Well it depends actually.

I have a new program called Open Canvas which I half use for pictures with paint. This picture I did mostly everything in Paint, but went onto Open Canvas for the outline. Then I got the basic colours on that program and switched to paint because it was easier getting all the spaces coloured in.

In a normal paint picture, I'm just good at keeping in the lines. It takes a long time though. ;-;

Hurry up and choose next month's theme, Liah! *crosses fingers in hopes what she's planning on drawing next fits whatever Liah picks*

I think July is almost here!

(kidding, take your time, but don't take too much! xP)

SILENCE I WILL DECIDE WHEN I WISH, IT'S STILL JUNE ARGH.

xD Kidding. Alright, I'm tossing up between three themes:

Magic, Masquerade, ZU Members. Magic is the most broad and I'm guessing the easiest, Masquerade is a bit more to-the-point but with a bit of imagination can be very beautiful, and I can imagine the ZU Members one being hella fun to do. Will have a decision by tomorrow.

Masquerade? What is that? o_O

–noun
1. a party, dance, or other festive gathering of persons wearing masks and other disguises, and often elegant, historical, or fantastic costumes.
2. a costume or disguise worn at such a gathering.
3. false outward show; façade; pretense: a hypocrite's masquerade of virtue.
4. activity, existence, etc., under false pretenses: a rich man's masquerade as a beggar.
–verb (used without object)
5. to go about under false pretenses or a false character; assume the character of; give oneself out to be: to masquerade as a former Russian count.
6. to disguise oneself.
7. to take part in a masquerade.

Masks, balls, disguises, stuff like this:

STILL DECIDING.

Ah, I see. That would be an interesting theme, though I don't know what I'd draw for it...hm...

I vote for ZU Members. Could be pretty damned amusing.

I vote for magic. Imagine what beautiful creations people could come out with if this theme were picked. Plus, like you said Liah, it's probably the easiest one.

I think I'd prefer Magic as well.

Entirely up to you though Liah!

Ahhh...I like the idea of all of them @.@ I'm definetly entering this competition!

Brandon suggested "A Magical Masquerade of ZU Members" xD

Alright, I've picked "ZU Members" as the next theme mostly because it sounds super-fun and a bit of a challenge, which I prefer. Sorry Asta and Ranny for not picking what you guys wanted! Decision is final--ZU Members it is.

Sweet. Finally a contest I'll probably maybe join. :3

I think we should specifically make the theme "Cody".

That would be a great theme.

As a man of the great name myself, I concur.

Yay!! ^^ This is going to be fun! Now i have to decide whether to draw ZU members from their avvys or the way they look in rl....

Eh. I don't like the theme, but I may or may not enter depending on whether I can think of something to draw for it.

Oh lawds, you don't get what you want so it's a terrible theme. :O

Edit: HA. Got the quote before you edited it.

Yes, I edited because I thought I might have sounded a bit too harsh. And I thought it was a bad theme before it was decided, by the way. When Liah said it, I was thinking "ZU Members? Again? Boring." Honestly, it was fun for a little while, now it's overused and boring in these contests. Sorry, Liah, but it's just what I think.

And a theme like this doesn't cheer me up either, since I've been very upset lately with a ZU member.

Nobody asked you to participate in it, then.
