Well, I just got back from my Month long trip in Italy *gush*, and while I adjust to the 6 hour time difference, I thought I write this wonderful Journal in my expression of many thanks to all my fans. I’m officially 23, even though I been in the habit of saying it all month >.< heh. But the point of this Journal is to organize and celebrate my birthday and this accounts 100,000 hits mark!

I would have posted this on my newer account, but this really is the celebration of –this- accounts success. If you are interested in keeping up with my artwork please, please, please add MaliceAzriel to your friends’ lists.

Contest: Create a Character
Subject: Sinful Angels/Wayward Demons

Challenge: This shouldn’t be really hard, because at one point we really all do it. The mission in this contest is to come up with your own character. Yes, I said your -own-. The subject though has to be of either an Angel or a Demon, out of society’s typical characterization of the two. So really, an Angel acting like a Demon or a Demon showing attributes that angels are known to usually have.

Intended for: Artists
Rules:

1. Character MUST be your own and NEWLY CREATED from your own imagination. Please do not send me material of characters you already have. I want new and fresh characters, I will further explain why in the prizes.
   
   
2. Bio sheet- Please write about your character. Give him/her a past and a reason for acting the way they do. Describe their personality, and write a description of their habits, strengths and weaknesses.
