This Art Jam, I want you guys to draw/take a picture of a "MAL Mascot"! THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MASCOT CONTEST (nor is it endorsed in any way, shape or form by Xinil, MAL, etc). But, have fun with this theme--you know you want to :D

The deadline is May 15th. Entries can be posted here, or in the Art Jam! club. Rules can be read in the club as well. Enjoy :D

Can this also be Photoshop work? Banner/Signature.

Technically speaking, yes. In the sense that you mean it, no.

Yes, it can be a work created in photoshop. Yes, it can be a banner/signature type thing. However, it cannot have someone else's work in it. So if you used other pictures that you found online to make your banner, it will not be allowed in the jam.

Work that you submit for art jams should be yours, from the ground up. However, there are wallpaper and icon jams/contests for that sort of thing =)

Indeed, this certainly sounds interesting! Not sure if I'll be able to come up with anything for it, though.

And the previous two comments make me wonder if a signature/banner contest shouldn't also be made, not unlike the Icontest that was recently started.

I have already done this~ so I suppose my post shouldn't count, since I drew/designed her before the contest? I can always draw another picture of her XD

I have drawn her a LOT lately :)

My MAL-tan (she looks different every time I draw her!)....

(basic character design)


and several more (warning, lots of images):



Yeah, I like to doodle her XD (see how she always looks different? LOL)

Wow those are good! It's kinda confusing how she sometimes has glasses and sometimes doesn't... are they like reading glasses?

I'm sewing the ears on my entry now XD

I originally created her with glasses, but Xinil said that he liked her better without, so I ditched them. Thus the different versions :D

Give her wings. Then she'd rock. Maybe just baby ones, not big ones.

lol SY XD sorry, I totally missed when you said that earlier. Generally, it's a rule that you can't change entries, but in this jam I'll allow it (I don't mind). Just be sure to LET ME KNOW which "entry" is your entry :D

casta_scribona said:

That is SO CUTE!! it's adorable XD I love it. The crooked ear just adds to its cuteness ;D

I like the pencil strokes :3 the sketchiness is kinda cool looking, actually. And you should enter colored work more often, it looks great :D
