[EDIT AS OF 10.JULY.2009]

Since there have been no responses and I have received hints of people who still want to continue the contest, I have extended the deadline to 31.OCTOBER.2009. This is the anniversary release of ACT I, and it should give everyone enough time to finish their works. Any further extension would not be considered anymore--the contest would be officially canceled.


_____GENERAL RULES
1) You're all invited to join this contest, whether you're a reader or not. Of course, those who have read ACT I: Bright Red Dawn have a bit of an advantage. For those who want to gather research on Feldscher, please visit the Feldscher Blog.
2) Feldscher Crew Members aren't obliged to join this contest, but they need to vote for the winning entries.
3) Only purely Feldscher-related elements are allowed. Ladies, this means you can't draw yourself hitting on William Stanley; not even your OC (or you'll end up staring down into the barrel of a shotgun). Let's save that for another time. But you can always have Jack the Ripper there.
4) Drawings, conceptual pieces, and comic strips are openly accepted.
5) Entries must be uploaded into your deviantART Gallery for easy access and criticism. Outgoing links may also be accepted but should still be linked to deviantART.
6) Previously uploaded works won't be considered for this contest. However, works in progress may be considered as entries. :working:
7) During submission, please provide sufficient credits and links to references. Let's extend courtesy towards our fellow deviants.
8) Once you've submitted your entry, please note me a link so I can include you in the roster of participants.
9) The deadline for all entries is 31.OCTOBER.2009 (+08:00 GMT). Late entries can't be considered. Why?
10) The judging for all entries will be from 1.NOVEMBER.2009 to 14.NOVEMBER.2009. You're all invited to vote even if you didn't join the contest. Crew Members, you're obliged to pass judgement.
11) Only three winners will be selected, an each will receive art of their OC from me. In case of a tie, a tie-breaker round will be held. The winners will be announced on my Journal and the Feldscher Blog.
12) After deliberations, all entries will be featured on the Feldscher Blog, and the top three will be featured on my User Page (on my Webcam) with links to their pages included.

_____ENTRY RULES
1) Strictly no pornographic or sexually suggestive entries are allowed. This includes yaoi and yuri. Ehem!
2) Blood and gore are, of course, allowed. But, please, use these in a sensible manner. This isn't Saw.
3) Entries must generally fall under the following:
Feldscher (in general)
Crime
Mystery
Humor
Time
Romance
Victorian Life
Exemptions can be made but I trust they'll be sensible, too. I do't wanna see Hugo in a Mohawk dancing the tango.
4) Each person can submit a maximum of three entries.
5) Any form of entry is allowed such as pencil sketch, inks, colors, and CG (as if anyone would do that...).
6) Any medium is allowed such as makers, pencils, and watercolor (as if anyone would do this either...).
7) Chibi and caricatures are openly accepted.
8) Costume changes are welcome but make sure they're sensible. Barbara may have a nice body (which I don't exactly agree with) but my eyes will bleed if I see her in a bunny suit (ew, how revolting...).

_____VOTING RULES
1) Voting will be from 1.NOVEMBER.2009 to 14.NOVEMBER.2009 at the Feldscher Blog.
2) Anybody can vote, and Crew Members are obliged to do so.
3) The votes are anonymous, and multiple votes are allowed.

_____PRIZES
1) Before anything else, I warn that the prizes will be given at indefinite dates. However, I promise that I will keep my end of the bargain.
2) The prizes are art of the winners' OCs, with a maximum of two characters per person. I'll not draw fan art or fan characters based on established stories.
3) I won't accept pornographic or sexually suggestive requests. No exceptions.
4) Prizes will be given in order, and are as follows:
1^ST PLACE: Being lucky Number One, you have the choice to receive one of the following:
colored art (cel-shaded, hair shading for black and dark hair)
traditional art (hair shading, hatching, your chance to torture me...)
combination art (colors + traditional shading, no cel-shading)
manga-style toning (traditional art + toning, not gray cel-shades, dotted screens)
2^ND PLACE:
traditional art (hair shading, hatching)
3^RD PLACE:
inks (no hair shading, no traditional shading, ideal for OCs with light hair)
5) Prizes will be uploaded into my Gallery and I'll note you the link.
