So basically if you got here you either searched something REAL weird on Google, I texted the link to you because you're most likely one of my best friends whose name begins with a "C" and ends with an "arter", or you just clicked here from my YouTube channel.
(Disclaimer - For those of you who just want the contest, scroll to the bottom and read everything in neon green. Everything highlighted red is SUPER important, but still read just the green, too.)
So you're probably wondering why I would make this at all, because it seems quite pointless and I already have a bajillion websites/blogs and all of a sudden it was just THERE with no warning and I only have 11 subscribers, and probably only one of those subscribers is going to read this, and that subscriber would happen to be me, because YES, I do have another Google account and why not use it to my advantage to get that measly little last subscriber.
The short answer is I had something better to do, but I just didn't want to do it. So I made this!
The long answer is I read a lot of blogs which are 10,000% more successful than anything I have ever done and that angers me to an extent that makes me feel like a panda with no bamboo, and you know what a panda is with no bamboo? STARVING AND WORTHLESS. So I decided to become a panda with bamboo and maybe even some Tonight Dough from Ben and Jerry's, which if you've ever had that, you know that it makes you feel anything but worthless because who could feel worthless when eating chunks of cookie dough that are THAT BIG??? Nobody. Nobody could feel worthless. Even if you were 900 pounds and you had being trying your hardest not to eat ice cream, and not eating ice cream had been your New Year's resolution for 16 years straight, and you were about to achieve that life goal but then you found some Tonight Dough in the freezer and had to try it, you couldn't feel worthless because it is scientifically impossible to feel worthless while eating Tonight Dough ice cream because it completely exceeds the greatness of normal cookie dough ice cream plus how happy you are when petting your favorite animal, plus panda metaphors, plus everything you've ever loved combined.
Anyway, what I'm saying is, being starving and worthless isn't my thing. Making pointless blogs in a attempt to become just as popular as every other blog in the universe while contemplating if I should go disappoint myself by looking in the freezer for the Tonight Dough I know we don't have because that free advertising right above there would make anyone want it even if I didn't love it already, IS MY THING.
So there ya go. That's why this blog is here.
It is also here because when my YouTube channel needs new content but I am too lazy/sick/tired/busy to speak or generally attempt to address human life through a video I can just write on here and the 11 geniuses who watch my channel can just click the cute little link that I'm gonna put up and hear my beautiful Shakespearian (I know I spelled that wrong because it is red underlined, no hate) thoughts that way.
You're welcome.
Now enjoy this lovely picture I drew on SumoPaint
So basically what I did is I found a picture that had an outline of a dinosaur that I moderately liked, and then I covered the outline in a color of green that I thought was dinosaur-y until I couldn't see the outline anymore, which I guess made things inconvenient and rendered the outline useless but whatever, and then I drew the eye using three different shades of blue + the smoothing tool
and blah blah blah then I did the rest.
Anyway, now for some questions!
Basically I'm going to say all that boring stuff that people usually say and then I'll ask some other things and then some stuff, then there will be a few more things, and then details about a contest!
If you would like to help contribute to this blog, one of the best ways to do it would be to answer the survey questions which may or may not be at the end of each post.
Do you like this blog so far?
What do you like best about this blog?
What do you want to see more of/ what should I do next?
Do you want to see more art?
If so, what kind/what of?
Please place your answers below in the comments. Writing the questions isn't necessary as long as your answers are in order.
Well, I guess that would've been easier if I had just made a Google form in advance and linked it to this post. Eh, I'll do it later.
So now I guess it's time for a contest!
Contest Explanation -
This contest is centered around the dinosaur picture above. (For those of you who just scrolled here because of the disclaimer, scroll up to see the picture. It will be pretty obvious.)
The background for the picture is sucky, because it was just me smudging out the background of the reference picture to avoid copying or unnecessary distraction from the main point.
So, I want you guys to give me background ideas! The best background idea will win the contest. For more details, rules, and requirements, continue reading below!
Contest Rules -
Your entry must be in English letters and numbers only without any pictures and submitted to me at wowsoepicdino@writeme.com
Your entry must be appropriate, no 18+ content or profanity (sorry, pervs)
Your entry does NOT have to have anything to do with logic or dinosaurs, it can, but it doesn't have to.
Please no random entries with things unrelated to the contest.
Please, in your entry, include all of the following or your entry will not be considered
- Name/Nickname/Username, something I can call you by
- Email, so I can contact you if you win (it will not be shared, and even though it says
who it is from when you email me I just want to make sure it is your preferred email
and that I have it right)
- A description of your background idea
- OPTIONAL, make up a story to go along with the dinosaur in its background (a bonus prize will be announced if anyone chooses to do this, if many choose to do so, the best will win the bonus.)
WINNERS WILL GET THE FOLLOWING PRIZES --
I will complete the picture with the background you described, and post it on a blog post dedicated to the winner.
I might also write a little something about how wonderful you are.
I will then draw a dinosaur of your choice. (Pick a species, and five colors. Or one color, and I'll pick five shades. You may also pick ONE of these backgrounds - Grass land, Forest, or Party Time, or No Background)
I will email your personalized drawing to you through whatever email you provided in your entry.
IMPORTANT!!!! --
Didn't win the background contest? Good news! If the winner of the background contest didn't put an optional story in their entry, but YOU DID...
You still have a chance to win the bonus prize!
If nobody else did a story, you win the prize automatically! Plus, you find out what it is... Ideal for the curious contestant...
If other people did do a story, the story I like the best will win.
God, I'm acting like people will actually enter. Please do.
The contest ends when I get five OR MORE entries. I don't know, maybe I'll end it at five, maybe not.
ENTER NOW! :D
