Due to the insufficient amount of entries, the contest is going to be canceled. I'll be contacting all participants about their chibi commission!

Deadline: December 31
If thre are less than 10 entries, the contest will be canceled and all participants will be given a sinple chibi commission as compensation.

Theme: Idols
Choose an idol character(s) to illustrate from any anime series and be as creative as you want! You could draw the characters in an alternate universe, on vacation, or working. As long as the character(s) are of an “idol-like” or of “infamous” performer status, they will most likely be acceptable for the theme. If you don’t know if the character you want to draw for is qualified, feel free to comment and ask!
