Self-Portrait Plush Contest - Ends July 31st

Since the majority of you guys like this idea best, I've decided to go with it

All you have to do is create a plushie that resembles you or reflects you - it can be as abstract, simple, plain, ect. as you please though it may help if you post a bit about how it reflects you and why you designed it the way you did in the artist's comments when you submit. I've created a brand new folder just for the contest so please post there or I won't be able to find it.

Also, the plushie that you create must be created for the contest so don't just use whatever you have laying around. This is a creativity/design challenge so you can't use something you've already made. Also, it goes without saying that you can't used a store bought plushie. You can create and submit as many plushies as you like but you will only be able to win once.

The contest will be from now until the end of the month and entries will not be accepted after July 31st.

The entries will be judged based on effort, fitting the theme, creativity, and quality by myself and a few other judges. Perhaps someday I can upgrade to SuperGroup and have votes but until then, it's just us judges. We promise to be fair though.

One last note, arcanagirl needs your help.

"Can anyone give me pointers on how to promote my store free, or maybe why I am not selling my items? I am 500$ in the hole now and only buyers were my brother and mom, plz help"

I'm looking forward to what you guys come up with. I'll be entering a plush of my own (but don't worry, I can't award myself any prizes other than a pat on the back and a well-deserved bowl of icecream) so I hope you guys do too Good luck everyone!
