HELLO ALL! Excited Time here with some EXCITING NEWS!!

As some may have seen, I hosted a poll the other day, and asked if people would be willing to enter a contest I have been planning to hold ^^
I am delighted to say that the response to such has been positive enough that I am prepared to go forth with it YAAAAAAAY!

Details on the contest

This contest is for Artists AND Writers. I know many of my watchers and fellow deviants are not all drawing madmen like some of us, and prefer to turn to literature to express their art, so to give everybody a fair chance, I am willing to add literature to my contest as well ^^

Be warned, though, I am a very particular with my writing Meaning, I don’t want plain, boring language, just as I don’t expect a half an hour drawn doodle of art. The language must come alive. I must be able to see clearly what you are writing about. I do not want a He said, she said, they said blah piece of work

Artworks for this contest can be in any form: traditional sketch, digital sketch, sculpture, sowing, 3D modeling, animation! XD As long as it represents the characters well, I will be happy.

If you are worried about a piece being accepted, please feel free to ask ^^

Themes of the Contest

I find that limiting artists to one theme can make it more challenging to do a proper contest piece  

Time and Logic (exclusively Drawing-theme)

Time, the poet. Logic, the philosopher.

‘Time’ is my online name and persona. Logic is a character very close to my heart that represents my voice of reason. I have used these two in comic book series in art projects for my Final Year in school, and for writings discussing serious topics we face in this day and age regarding humanities slow decline in various fields, and the dilemmas we face within ourselves and around others.

Draw an image that best represents the two of us ^^

It could be the two of us sitting across one another, chatting (think of how we would be sitting. Logic is a man with good etiquette and a contemplative nature about him. He is stern, but fair, reserved and very intelligent. I, as an odd artist, often sit cross-legged in chairs).

It could be a pose of us standing together. Us writing together. We could be in a symbolic image, floating above one another. I dunno XD I won’t tell you what to draw! Just go for it!

Now, I don’t have many images of Logic loaded here (that chibi one up there being the only proper one, really ). But I have included a rough draft of him below with Time refs to look at ^^
He is a tall man, with black hair with bangs, a black suit and a white shirt. The odd feature about him is his eyes are cast in shadow. YOU CANNOT DRAW EYES FOR HIM, THEY MUST BE IN SHADOW .____. It is a big part of his character XD
Here are some images of my Time persona (bonus points if you remember to include my blue butterfly ^^):

Logic Rough Ref    As Time goes On   Serve my Thirst

 
If you are struggling at all with how to draw either him or I, please comment or note me!

TimeRunner and His Demons (Drawing and/or Writing-theme)

My Role Play-version of Runner certainly has some interesting relationships with his two demons from the Kuroshitsuji universe, Claude and Sebastian.
One he considers a brother, the other a dear friend (and potential lover as most fan girls keep insisting -.-)

More details on his relations with these demons can be found here:

Some Interesting Notes on Runner's Demon Relations
(I HIGHLY recommend reading it if you are not familiar with RP-version Runner’s relations with them if you want to enter with this theme)

Draw or Write a piece showing one or both of these relationships ^^

You could do this theme in a number of ways. Draw just Sebastian and Runner together, showing their relation. Draw just Claude and Runner together, showing their relation.
It could be a scene of sorts from an RP you may have seen or an idea you have of what they would be doing, like going to a park, to the beach. 
You could write a poem representing one of the relationships, or discussing a story on an idea of an outing one of them go on together.

OR, if you are feeling REALLY daring…draw/write about all three together!
Consider how the two demons would react around Runner. Would they be fighting over Runner? Would they be trying to be civil with him around? GO NUTS!

TimeRunner and Faith (exclusively Writing-theme)

Valentine’s Day is around the corner ^^ So why not include one last theme just for our writers to showcase one of the not-really-a-ship-but-we-count-it in my series XD

Write a piece on something romantic for TimeRunner and Faith.

You can learn more about Faith in her description in this image here, along with Runner’s:
Elder
She is a mentor to him, having raised him since he was young. The two deeply care for one another, but due to laws in their Realm, they cannot partake in a romantic relationship with one another, and it has been described by some as something of a forbidden love.

The short insert in this image shows how the two are romantic to one another in subtle ways:

More than you Know 

Use these ideas to write a piece for them. It could be a poem. A love-letter from one to another. A passage of how the two try to express their care for each other ^^
Something nice and sweet, but not too sappy for the old love-birds!

Contestants

MomentFate and Time. Time and Fate. There can't be one without the other.
Neither would want it that way.
Faith gently combed her fingers through TimeRunner's hair. Today had been difficult- another battle record. It seemed impossible, how humans fought so much, but they were so passionate about things that somehow it often pulled back to war.
He usually would be too stubborn to let her help him, relax him, but today when she'd asked how the records went, he simply shrugged and adjusted his glasses, sliding into a chair at the table.
"It amazes me, how many different ways humans have invented to kill each other," TimeRunner muttered.
"You're telling their story," Faith replied. "They won't be forgotten because of you. Besides, who knows what fate holds in store?"
"You." TimeRunner said, leaning back, and Faith ruffled his hair that she'd just been fixing.
"I wish it were that simple." She settled down in the chair next to him, placing her hands on top of his. "I know things can be hard, but
