I'M HAVING A CONTEST!!! AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, PLEASE READ ON!!!

"You see, every person smells different, has a different essence. If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, he'd gladly drink it. But he could resist, if he wished to, if he were a recovering alcoholic. Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac -- and filled the room with its warm aroma -- how do you think he would fare then?"
We sat silently, looking into each other's eyes-- trying to read each other's thoughts.
He broke the silence first.
"Maybe that' not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead."
"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. "Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin."

All right, peeps, I'm having a contest!!! So many of us have read this part of Twilight and have fallen in love with the choice of words Edward gave to Bella, her being his "brand of heroin" and get so giddy inside (I do, at least XD ). So, I want to see your interpretation of Bella being Edward's brand of heroin by using the sketch I will provide.

example of mine : to this

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU!!! REALLY CATCH MY EYE, OKAY?

There are 3 places you can win!!!

1st - A full blown colored picture of YOU with your choice of a vampire plush doll, like this picture [link] here, except it's YOU who is the lucky owner of a vampire doll in the picture. Plus, your choice in what your vampire doll is wearing.
2nd - A shaded picture of your choice of these four Twilight couples (ex - shaded EdwardxBella, JasperxAlice, EmmettxRosalie, CarlislexEsme.)
3rd - Sketch of your choice of Twilight so you can color it however you want. ^-^

~Here are the rules~

1 - The sketch for the picture can be found in my gallery in the Twilight folder, named Twilight - Contest. Save the picture and color it HOWEVER YOU WANT!!! Or, you can go to this link to download the picture [link]
2 - The contest will end at 11:59 June 30th, which gives you a month to color this picture.
3 - When finished, send me a note titled "Twilight Contest" and send me a link to your picture. ^-^
4 - On July 1st I'll feature everyone's pictures in my journal for people to look at. Then whoever likes a picture can send me another note with THREE votes. The voting will end July 11th (great way for me to remember, that's my lucky number. )
5 - One entry per person, please. Also, if you are not satisfied with your first picture and decide to do it again, let me know, okay, so I can change it and not think you are entering twice.
6 - Any medium can be used. Heck you could even print it out and color it with crayons, markers, pencils, etc., and then rescan it for the contest. I don't care, IT'S UP TO YOU!!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE WHO ENTER!!!

Already we have five pictures finished for the contest, and they are some fine examples of both digital and traditional media. Care to look at them. They're so good!



Gah! I hate work so much! My supervisor is really overworking me, especially since I work more than the three other girls, and it's getting me really frustrated since I have no time at all to do what I want. So I'm hurrying to finish pictures and work on writing. But still... I'm so close to just wanting to quit because of all the workload, but I like my job too much. Urgh! Stupid rush! Stupid graduation for high schoolers so freaking late!

I'm thinking of submitting the prologue to a new book I started writing. What do you all think? I want to draw a cover picture for it before I do so.

Well, nothing new at all. Have fun, y'all!!!
