Hi friends, need your help!

Hi friends! I have been included in Mini-DDs Best Of 2010 Extravaganza! It is an incredible honor and I am very thankful and appreciative to be a part of it! I feel like I am finally starting to fit in with this community and I've made some good friends and have met such talented artists, and it has been a blast! Without wanting to toot my own horn, there is a contest going on within this feature!

To read about it and view a wonderful feature filled with incredible artists, please go here: news.deviantart.com/article/14…

But for the sake of this journal entry, allow me to post them here, a direct quote from this article!

"Yes, you can score a copy of one of the year's most anticipated games, Portal 2! I suppose I could mention how this ties into some sort of metaphor about jumping through a portal from one year to another, but who cares? All we need to know is it's frickin' Portal 2!!

Okay, I promise to stop bolding the title there. But yes, we have 3 copies of Portal 2 to give away (with 3 copies of the original Portal as runner-up prizes) via our good friends/lords & masters at Steam! And how do get one these copies, pray tell? By winning one of three contests...

CONTEST #1: DEVIATION OF THE YEAR. Those of you up there who just kicked ass, this one's for you. And for those of you who want to reward said kickassery as well, of course!

So here's how you play: See all those other Deviants surrounding you up there? All you have to do is fight them out for the title of Deviation of the Year, & then you walk away with Portal 2. Simple, huh?

So how do you get that title? By amassing enough votes from your fellow Deviants. Which leads us to...

CONTEST #2: VOTER PARTICIPATION. See everything above? Choose your favorites, engage your write to vote, & then you get entered in a draw with the other voters to win one of the prizes. Once again, simple, though there are three things to note:

- You can vote for as many Deviations as you like.
- You can write in your own picks aside from/along with the featured Deviations, if you want.
- The important one: You must vote for a minimum of FIVE Deviations.

Follow those rules & send a note to me containing the word "VOTE" somewhere in the title, & you're officially entered! And if asking you to choose from over 200 Deviations sounds like something a crazed madman would do, then I'm guessing you don't know me that well...And that everything above wasn't enough of a tip...

CONTEST #3: YOUR OWN EXTRAVAGANZA. So...Did you actually like all of our picks for the year's best Deviations? Did we miss anything? Do you think you can do better, huh? You think you can top this, punk?? DO YOU???

...

...*ahem* Anyhow, do you also have any sort of passion for featuring great artwork? If so, then this contest is for you!

Just create your own little article featuring at least ten of your picks for the best Deviations from 2010, write a little something for each one about why you thought it was great, then post in however you can (journal entry, news article, meme...By the way, 200 DA Points for the first one to create a successful blank meme for this), then send the link to it to me in a note with the word "FEATURES" somewhere in the title, & you're in!

Oh, & speaking of deadlines, I should name the deadline for the contests now: Have your votes or entries in by April 12, 2011. Three weeks from now.

Anyway, this is MY picture that was featured!


So like the rules say, send a message to slydante.deviantart.com/ and have VOTE somewhere in the title, to vote for ME and at least 4 other artists! This is important, don't forget the minimum of 5!!

And Thank you so much, to all of you, for all of your support you have given me in my time here! I'll never be able to thank you all enough!
