PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL RULES, THEY'RE REALLY IMPORTANT. THANKS!


*What is Sugar Paradise? it's my project so far, that someday hopefully will become a manga. I am slowly working on this project There are girls only, but it will have boys too. just not in this contest
*What are relations between them? On the list, you see two sets: heroines and villains. of course the groups of girls can be hostile against each other. but in general, all heroines are friends and the two villians, Melanie and Akki don't like each other. Akira is a friend of all heroines as well. Twins work usually alone.
*What can they do together? they can fight, they can just walk, stand, sit, do things what friends do, they can eat ice cream, play on beach, swim, play beach ball, wear summer clothes. dresses. anything that you can come up with or read from their descriptions that could be anyhow realted to summer and/or beach! They can also be in love! Check below:
*Available yuri pairings: all BUT Star x Comet (sisters), Melanie and Akki (hate) and Akira x Akki (the same person with two forms). All other yuri pairings are acceptable! Even the twins Lina & Gina can be shown as yuri because they're succubusses so they can tease and be together without any problem. but please don't separate them- they are almost always together. they can be with someone else, too. since I don't have official pairings revealed yet, you can just mix and match the rest in the way you like You can also do yuri with more than two of them! xD

*you can change their clothes, but please try to keep their color schemes so they are recognizable! for example blues for Crystal's dress or swimsuit/ bikini etc. other colors are fine too, so no worries, but first please consider their original color schemes.

*Please don't change their hair styles (too much). I want to recognize tham at once! if my characters aren't recognizable I won't be able to accept your entry, sorry!

*Their eye and hair colors must be the same! If you are unsure- ask! I can even give you some color charts if you need them. If you draw them wrong I have the right to not accept the entry and ask you to change them, and if you change I will accept it. please understand!
-Mei's hair colour is deep blue! not light blue! check on the refernce here: izka197.deviantart.com/art/Min… (a lot of people did too light blue or turquise T-T )

*Their wings and magical weapons are optional! You can add them if you want, but you don't have to. In fact they probably won't use their weapons on beach, but you can do any idea you wish, you can add them, or no.

*If you decide to show a fight or showing their attacks, you can just look at refs and descriptions to check their powers and create an attack for them by yourself. creativity is welcome! Just please stick with their powers :3

-The artwork can be drawing/ painting/ 3d art ONLY! no photomanipulations, photos, sculptures, animations, literature etc.

-The entry can contain only my SP characters, and any number between 1 and 16 characters!

-You must give credits to the characters seen on the entry! for example:
Izka (c) to Izka197; Izka (c) izka197 or

-You can use free textures or brushes by other artists, but you need to credit them too giving a link or their username.

-Background is allowed, but not needed. Though it's easier to show summer and beach with a simple bg, but the choice is yours as well.

-The pic can be from waist-ups through knees-ups to fullbodys, OF course the more we see, the better! Please don't submit headshots only. Chibis are ok.

-Please don't use bases, drawing should be done by you!

-It can be colored artwork or black & white, but no wips. scraps, sketches, linearts! the artwork must be fully finished!

-No strange fetishes, bondage, violence, blood and such of course

-Mature content for nudity and/ or sexual themes is allowed! Just nothing too explicit please.

-I will collect all entries and comment with a 'thanks for entering' to be fair to everyone I'm leaving the same comment please understand :3 I don't want to favor any entries ^^'

-They can be drawn in any of these ways: cute, sexy, happy, blushing crying being sad etc. Though I prefer happy faces of my characters, but this depends on each piece itself so choose your best idea! ^^ Also they can be doing anything you think fits their appearances and the contest themes.

-Only one entry per contestant.

-IMPORTANT!! Please add the Sugar Paradise Logo somewhere on your entry! you can download a big or small version here izka197.deviantart.com/art/Sug… .opacity can be lowered and it can be small, but please add the logo as well and make it visible/ recognizable! thanks!
