I'm going to host a very short, un-official mini contest. The deadline is going to be three weeks from today, so all finished entries must be done by April 24th. I'm adding on an extra week for exposure, so that people can see this thread!

The guidelines are simple. Draw one, or several of any of the members of the administration. If you don't know who we are, there is a plethora of information about us on this site. Still not sure?

Ben
Administrator
Ben has been involved in anime and web development since 2000. In his spare time, he dances Lindy Hop, Blues, and Argentine Tango. He also enjoys soccer, travelling abroad, creative cooking, and socks. When working on AA, he most often listens to obscure electronica. Although he no longer watches much anime, he still enjoys the work of Hayao Miyazaki.

Ben is currently studying at Portland State University focusing in International Business.

Jent
Sub-Admin
Jent currently lives in Nebraska, most famous for corn and endless roads leading to nowhere. She is 22 years old, and works full-time at a center for people with developmental disabilities, but is currently looking for a different job. She hopes to go back to college within the next year, with an interest in studying art and politics. Very independent, Jent loves travelling and has met three members from AA in the past year. (You can ask her who they are.) She hopes to travel to England and Japan within the next five years.

Her favorite musical artist is Idan Raichel, and happens to be a big fan of the Final Fantasy genre.

Jent is the newbie of the administration, joining the site in April of '05, but feels that AA has become her home.

Khellamendra
Sub-Admin
Khellamendra is a 21 year old college student who is currenlty studying Computer Multimedia and Desgin. She has recently celebrated her second year as a waitress but hopes to move on to better things soon. When she is not on AA she generally fills her time with writing and messing with HTML, though she is also an avid RPG fan who loves to play D&D the most. She has been a fan of anime since the late 80's, long before it was given it's own category. She has been an avid fan, always finding new and interesting anime.

Khellamendra has been a member of this site since Dec 31, 2003 and plans to stay for a while. She is eager to see the direction it will go in the future.

Ladyfyreyes
Sub-Admin
Ladyfyreyes is a 47 year old would be writer. She hopes to soon have her first novel published. She writes fantasy, Sci-fi and Role playing games. She is currently working on a game called "the Kingdoms" and a novel "A Cry in the Dark". She has been an avid fan of anime since the early 80’s when she was introduced to it at a gaming convention. She enjoys most all anime as long as it has a plot and the art is good. Other interest includes RPG’s, reading, writing, drawing and learning everything. She is currently teaching herself how to draw anime style.

Ladyfyreyes joined the site in July of 2004, after visiting it since August 2002. She is looking forward to watching the AA community grow.

moosandra
[Sub-Admin
Moosandra has been with the site since June 2002. She is best known for being stubborn and always right.

In her free time, she ice fishes, builds snow forts, and corrupts little children. She is secretly a supporter of both Fundamentalism and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

phatcrux989
Sub-Admin
Phatcrux989 is a southern Cali resident trying to live his remaining teenage days as much as possible by being reckless and stubborn. He spends his time debating useless but hilarious topics, playing video games with friends he knows he can beat, drawing pretty pictures, and skating from point A to infinity.

He has been an AA resident before an official AA site was created and has stuck through the ups and downs oh so curious as to see how it'll end. Because it will. One day. Or wont! One day?

Though not an anime fan in the sense that he has no clue about the recent popular ones, owns no mangas, collects no dvds, and so forth he enjoys the art and respects the form as it has most definitely pushed his interests in drawing.

He has no idea where his life will take him, but knows it'll be one awesome story to tell.

Still not sure? Well, why not hit us up with a PM and ask?

The point of this contest, is to see creative personifications of people that you really don't know in person, and have perhaps never even seen a picture of. I think it's fairly safe to say that every member on this site has had some sort of encounter with at least one, if not all of us though. I just ask that

Lulz outdated info.

I'm not a waitress anymore and I'm 23 now. Just to lazy to have it fixed.

I'm up for all kinds of artwork from you guys. I know Loner_Dude does some pretty awesome stick figures. :)

Khell, My mum says you're pretty. :D

(I just printed off a picture of you as a guide for drawing, and she was being nosy).

Anyway, yush. I am liking this contest muchly, and the fact we can enter non-anime art too. I shall hopefully enter.

#^_^# Awww thank you.




Digital Camera/Camera Phone and a USB cable? ^^;

Cool, this look fun. Are multiple admins allowed in the same picture?

Swheet. This sounds like an awesome contest. I'll see what I can come up with.

btw, jent, you have a [ before Sub-Admin under moos

Darn skippy!

But my RETARDED scanner is broken right now. So I can't scan anything T.T
