Basically prepared this post for my dA journal for likely some point tomorrow. Posting it early on Tumblr though. The only thing I think is missing are the links to the characters’ reference sheets (one of them is not even uploaded yet to dA). But they will be added on my deviantart journal.
Hey, hey, hey!
I’d like to point out that we’re less than 2 weeks from a special day~
June 30th marks the day of celebration for The Guiding Light Harmony, in honor of his birthday! Of course, he wasn’t really born, but rather sent to earth, and it’s unknown when the actual date would have been, but it is estimated to be around this chosen date. And Harmony being the fun-loving boy he is, likes to celebrate this day with friends, partying… oh and sweets! Can’t forget that!
Of course, this means that Pharos’s birthday is also the same day, though he isn’t much of a social butterfly. Nonetheless, I’m still dumping the celebration on my little moody demon anyway.
With all the work I’ve been putting into this series, I actually nearly forgot all about their birthday. I decided the date it would be quite some time ago, and it really just dawned on me recently that it was coming up. Since these characters are so important to me, and my upcoming series, I wanted to do something special! For fun and for getting a little more love around for them!
So I’m holding a contest! With prizes!
The theme is simple: I want you to depict my characters, Harmony and Pharos, doing something together for their birthday.
Now if you know a little background on them, you already know they don’t really get along so well (Pharos has a sociopathic obsession with killing his brother, that is). However I’m leaving it up to your creative liberty what you do, so feel free to break canon! If you want to have them having a bitchfight, that’s fine, or you’re more the crack humor type, that’s always good, or if you’d rather see some incestuous romance be my guest~ Just be creative.
All I ask is keep it within reasonable boundaries. Nothing 18+ (that goes for sexual content and violence) but other than that be as perverted or bloody (or both ;D) as you like.
Any entry format is acceptable. Drawing, comic, writing, whatever
Pretty art is nice, but my efforts in judging is just creativity with it. I wanna see some interesting ideas. ^^

Artist comments provide tons of info. :3
If you have any question about content (like you’re not sure if it’s okay to do) don’t be shy to ask, I won’t judge you (trust me, I’ve already had some fanservice requests coming in, I’m honestly more flattered than anything if you want to make my OC’s your fetish fuel).
Now for prizes! I don’t have much of offer, but I will offer the best I can!
1st place will receive a full color request of whatever they like with a full background from yours truly, PLUS 50 dA points!
2nd place will receive a fill color request like the previous only with no background, PLUS 20 dA points!
3rd place will receive a clean black and white lineart of whatever they like from yours truly. (I’m broke for points by now, sorry! ^^;)
Everyone who participated with be featured in another journal and on my Tumblr account (links to all the entries and which ones were the winners)
I hope that is enough to get people motivated to try something!
Finally, the deadline is July 10th (pending) 11:59 EST so there is no confusion.
Have fun!
Oh right and one more thing, I almost forgot! I’m not just gonna be sitting around while you do all this. I will be adding some comic previews and promo art probably the day of the 30th or close to it. What I have planned is a surprise!
