Ah, but written entries have more MEAT to them, ya know? More potential awesomeness?

I dunoo, I like to think I'm not prejudiced in favour of any one form of entry! ...I love them all! Very Happy

As for your questions, though... I'm afraid there is not much I can tell you! Neither the university nor the city have a name. Maybe sometime in the future the city gets renamed Utopia, but that's not its name now. I've gotten this far in the comic without the names coming up, so I have not seen the need to make any final decision! Sometimes I try to think up of a name (most often for the university than the city), but inspiration has not led me to a "perfect" name yet, so I'm really quite content with leaving them unnamed.

As for the dude, yep that is the same guy! I usually refer to him as the Penguin Thief Wink

He doesn't have a more personal name at this point either!

I realize this is of no help to you! I'm sorry! I hope you can still write your entry Smile

I don't know what you were intending to write, but there are lots of ways to refer to things without naming them - I do it all the time Twirling

There is that =)

And I'm pretty sure I can work around the university and city, its pretty easy to just refer to them as 'the university' and 'the city'. I'll have to be creative on the last one though, we'll see how things go =)

Thanks much!

Alrighty! Well I saw that only four entries were in and I had to jump in on that action. I couldn't do photography, and my drawing/editing skills are easily rivaled/ trumped by the entries I've seen so far, so I went for COMEDY!!!

Introducing: Nitrine's Power Suit 2.0!!

AAAHHHH!!!! A contest this crazy and I wouldn't participate? That's no good at all! So I finally emerged from my eons of lurking to tell y'all that I will be participating! And hopefully as a reminder that I actually have to finish the damn picture.
But anyway, I'm new here so I might as well say this now: hya!

Also, excellent entries so far (but we do seem to be suffering from a slight Powerpuff-girl overdose? Confused

)

Haha, go Limpet.

You can thank her for my entry as well, I wasn't going to do anything, then she infected my brain.

Unfortunately, I was going to do more with these, do a couple more characters and put them together into one image to submit, possibly with alternate outfits, but my video card on my lap top decided to fry itself, so I can't work on any more or they won't look right since the resolution and colors are skewed now. Crying or Very sad

But! I managed to get the main charries done along with the two pretties. Mmm...

No, Limpet and I don't think alike at all btw. So, I have to submit them as separate images, but they're meant to be one entry, hope that's okay. Now, enough rambling, time for creepy cute dollies! (Fear them

)

^^; I love how they turned out, but omg, your art style is so much harder to imitate than the animes I usually do this for, but it was a good challenge! This is also the first time I've ever put any of them out on the internet, so I hope they're well received!

I receive them very well! Thank you kindly for your entry Very Happy

REVOLUTIONARY PASTRY!

Given the opportunity to play with three of my favourite webcomic characters, I thought I'd do some fun (and perhaps obscure) cosplay and blend in some of my other favourite things. Hence: Revolutionary Girl Utena/ Flaky Pastry hybrid monster!

It occurred to me that the character of Marelle bears quite a resemblance to Anthy Himemiya. Glasses... skintone... hair colour AND hairstyle... even personality, to an extent.

And it kind of grew from there. I figured Nitrine would totally dig being Utena since A) she's bisexual, just like Utena (SHUSH, dissenters!) B) she digs pointy things C) She is so the butch in the relationship (see her current fling with Morgana) and D) she fits the mould of the confident-damsel-rescuer to a tad (at least in her mind... and not without motive...).

Hm... I like drawing green-haired women with swords. Teehee.

Oh yeah. And of course Zintiel. She's so meta-aware, I almost couldn't decide what to have her hottt-self standing back and saying. I had SOOO many options running through my damaged brain, but in the end I settled for something both basic and obtuse. YAY! Basic AND obtuse!!

AKA... Flaky Revolution

I doubt that this would get you an invitation to the Locket anytime soon.

I'm afraid I must admit confusion. :\ I'm clearly too unhip to quip.
