Attention! This is a formal call to all bounty-hunters, mercenaries, freelancers, and "independent specialists", for the acquisition of the target depicted in the surveillance photos above: One "TK", a tiger-folk girl of great will, resource, and skill. Be warned, she possesses significant martial arts and escapology aptitudes, both won through hard personal experience; she should not be underestimated. I wish her delivered to me alive, contained and restrained. Whoever succeeds at this task will be suitably rewarded for their time and efforts. Once you have acquired the target, contact me via the normal channels, and arrangements for delivery will be made. Good luck and good hunting.

***UPDATES & NEWS***
- IMPORTANT: By popular request, the contest deadline has been extended an extra two weeks. The new deadline is Sunday, March 16th, at 12 AM Pacific Standard Time. Apologies to anyone who's already submitted and feels slighted by this...but we apparently have some additional people who would like to participate, but either just found out about the contest, or have run into time difficulties. Something I personally can empathize with deeply. So...if ya still want to throw your hat in the ring, and were feeling rushed or uncertain, you now have some more time to work with. This will, however, be the only extension; don't want to let it drag on too long, after all. Anyhow, thanks for the understanding, and hope everyone has fun. Take care and be well.


Guidelines/Rules
- As art contests seem to be all the rage these days, thought it might be fun to throw TK (my tiger-girl OC) in the ring and see what happens. As submissions (if any ) come in, they'll be added to a list in this journal entry, linked for public viewing. In the end, the judging of the winners (see below) will be made by you folks yourselves, with me having the tie-breaker vote, if necessary. There'll be prizes for first, second, and third place. Anyone can participate, not just DA folks (and I hope that doesn't call the wrath of the DA deities down on my head...or my brothers and sisters in the community hereabouts... )

- The subject should be TK, either already captured and restrained, or in the process of being so. This contest is for visual art (might be doing a writing contest at some point in the future, and while stories to go with the pics are MORE than welcome, this contest's picture-centric... ). Feel free to include other characters, villains, etc. as necessary for your particular piece. Also, costuming is up to you...though you are more than welcome to use any of TK's "pre-existing" outfits as you wish. Likewise, peril, predicament, restraint...anything goes. Have fun! But, no overtly "adult" situations or nudity, please.

- Entries can be in any style or medium (hand-drawn, digital, 2D, 3D, animation, whatever... ). (Also, since I've been asked this question a couple times, people are more than welcome to do series, comics, or other multi-pic entries. So long as they're all inter-related, and I can link off to them on the list, an "entry" can constitute more than one picture, if you're feeling so-motivated. )

- The NEW deadline for submissions is midnight Pacific Standard Time, on Sunday, March 16, 2008.

- There's no need to "register" or anything of that sort. Just post your entry up on your DA site (or elsewhere, if you so desire), send me a note with a link to your picture/project, and I'll put it up on the list for public perusal.

- Once the deadline has passed, I'll open up the voting. It's slated to be a one vote per person affair, with myself having a tie-breaker vote, if such occurs. Anyone can vote of course, not just participants in the contest. There will be three prizes: First, second, and third place, for the top three vote-getters. And there will be a surprise for all participants, to say thank you for your time, effort, and participation. The top prizes are as follows:
