this sounds like an awesome contest! I'll start working on some pictures to see if I win(doubtful though, my art is horrid) XD
I also like Vondan's idea too, multiple styles of the K-girl, and even a cosplay contest for her lookalike. XD Sounds like awesome fun!
-
Ohh I just had another great Idea, for Ninja K girl I’m going to cut out some K shaped Ninja stars, I'll experiment right now I have some mild steel and tin snips over there.
Edit two hours later (With BK break and 30 minutes of video games)
Oh Ninja K-Girl your Kstar is ready. I made it from sheet bronze not mild steel so it has a classic look like it was handed down from generations of Ninja K-Girls. I have already tried it out and with this Kstar Ninja K-Girl can protect her self from ANY and ALL cardboard boxes and Styrofoam blocks

It's Guarantied 100% non-peace bondable
Can also be worn by King Kumorimorikhan on a chain for extra Bling during the opening Mamba Parade

@ Vondan
That looks so cool! It reminds me of what my dad does, he works with sheet metal.
As far as drawing the Kumori girl goes, I love drawing, but I don't do so well with drawing people. Does the Kumori girl have to be human, or can she be a furry?
-
We are going to take all submission for the contest seriously and we want to keep Kumori-girl in the same theme as she has always been .
Who is Kumoric-girl ?
She is the cute girl next door Oregon anime and J-pop cultural fan with her trusty umbrella all ways with her just in case it rains in our cloudy state.
Please submit an Adult Kumori-girl and a Chibi version of Kumori-girl via email in JPEG format to Kumori-girl@yahoo.com
She can be a furry, cat girl and she can have friends but what we are looking for right now is our main mascot in adult and chibi versions.
If you want to win keep in mind of what we need and what we are looking for in order to win.
We will be having the same contest at Kumoricon its self for next years Kumori-girl too.
-
she definately needs her unbrella.... as far as cute girl next door... and elf, cat girl, ninja, alien, chibi, and assasin could all fall under cute girl next door ;P just remember to keep it clean. I did not mention it but we are only allowed to have one mascot by our charter but the top 25 entrys will be thumbnail sized and placed in our gallery in the con book.
-
I was thinking it might be fun to talk to the programing director about having a gallery of all the entries on the web page and at the con.
Can you get me a jpeg of the last 3 years of Kumori-girl so that I can work on putting up a gallery of the past kumoricons on the web site.
Thanks

@ Spindrift
But nothing you say can stop me from plotting out the movie ware Kumoriko the mild mannered average anime fan with her trusty magical umbrella turns into K-Girl leader of the K-Team to stop her evil uncle King KumorimoriKahn.
Super Umbrella Attack Hi Ya

You rock! K-ninja star and everything! Go for it, I think that would totally be cool! I bet A-ko, B-ko, and C-ko would show up to help Kumori-ko too.

Oh Flattery will get you no ware, but it could get your single aunt every ware
Of course her friends are going to join her, I can’t write a movie script that does not have a chick action team in it. Even the Spindrift & Leashy treatment has one, as they and the other members of the cosplay group (Assuming not able to get rights to sailor moon I’m creating a fake anime mythos around a group of pretty sailor fighters theamed on the elements earth, air, fire and water) get into a battle with the Mean Anime girls MAGS. My ideas so predate Josh Weaden and Sam Raimi with there Xena's and Buffy's. And after peaple from ILM were looking at my Jedi Chicks web page (100% True) printouts from my site showed up at a ILM secuirty meetng (100% True) and they added a blue twilek Jedi Chick to the comics and AOTC based on one of my JEDI CHICKS (95% True)
if I rock so much how come my PM to you about the con book get stuck in my outbox and dont seem to go any ware or get sent

Yeah can someone post or give a link to some pictures of her. I need a refrenece before I can draw her!!!!! >< And I really wanna enter!!!!!
Does her umbrella need to be a certain color?? XD
And does the image need to be colored in adobe or can it be hand colored and scanned??
And also, do we have to submit a chibi and an adult version to win or can we just enter one???
Let me know ASAP PLEASE!!! :D So I can get to work and have it done before deadline!! Arigato!!!
-
MWAAAHAHA! I LIVE for contests! Glad I saw this before the time was up! *goes to snag pencils*
-
I have my regular-sized Kumoriko 80% done. I still need to do shading and see if I can smooth out some of the coloring (not used to using color). As for my chibi-sized Kumoriko, I have the design and pose ready but have not worked on a final draft yet.
-
We can only enter once right?
-
NO!! Enter as many mascots as you want to so long as they are not duplicates! the more to choose from the better!
-

In that case, I may try to enter one more if I have the time. ^_^
Status:
Regular, 95% done, need to use the computer to edit out a few small mistakes made while coloring.
Chibi, 80% done, need to do some shading, even out some of the coloring.
-
Did you want us to leave the background of the chibi picture white? That way you can put it infront of whatever you want or whatever you wanna use it for, or should we color it and make a nice background like the adult version??
Adult: 20% done
Chibi: 80% done.
-
Will a submission be considered if it doesn't have a chibi-pic to accompany it?
-

Yes, we will still put it up for vote if you don't have a chibi with it but keep in mind that you will need to create a chibi if it wins.
-
Alright, one last question. Will it need to be colored? I'm taking the longest time to color this thing and I'm not even halfway and I'm starting to wonder if it's alright to just send in the black and white version. Any guidelines regarding this?

Here's what Darkerlight said when I asked that question in another thread in the Fun and Games section:
color is prefered but black and white is ok too
-
W00t
Signed, sealed, and delivered. ^_^
Now to see if I can make another one before the deadline.
-
FREAKING A MAN!!!
I had the chibi and the adult all 100% done in adobe with background and EVERYTHING that I slaved over!!!Then... My computer DIES!! It's totaled. We have to get a new one, there is now way to bring it back, so I lost everything. My sister has a laptop with adobe (which is what im on now) but its hard to wokr adobe on this. Ill try and re-color it.... T.T
But If worse comes to worse can I send it without color or partly colored and explain what happend and give a description of what It will look like when it's been finished???? *cries in back*
-
That same thing happened to me, on a somewhat more specific scale. I was experimenting with a certain way to color the lineart on my picture and in the middle of it I decide that I hate it and I'm just going to delete all of that particular coloring and convert it back to black and white. Only just as I'm about to reset the colors, adobe closes on me. It pops up with this little window asking me to save, and of course I have to because I'm a dork and I haven't saved in three hours so all of my coloring on the hair would be lost as well. I decide to tough it out and save it and just do repair work....
It would have been easier to redo the effing hair. I've spent all of last night trying to make the lineart not look like crap. It's too the point where I'm wondering if I shouldn't just send in the black and white picture with a little text in the corner reading "Imagine it with pretty pretty colors".

LOL!!! I wish we had more time huh???

2007 contest will be going up about one month after this one but it will not end untill closing ceramonies at the con :) So let the creativity flow!
-
Also the voting site is live now!
http://www.nyetworking.com/kumoriconvote
I recommend copying and pasting into your browser bar as nyetworking is not a full site. Anyone can vote and may change they're own votes up untill April 15 midnight.
-
I notice each adult and each chibi version are separate in the voting. Will there be one final mascot or will the adult and chibi from a single artist win together and both be used?
If they will win as a pair, then it seems to me that the adult and chibi should be paired up and voted on as a unit. Otherwise, the vote for a single pair will actually be split among the two, distorting the results: a pair where the adult and chibi are both very popular actually is at a disadvantage to a pair where one of them is more popular than the other. (However, if anything, a pair where both are popular is probably more desirable so the voting system shouldn't penalize this).
-
Do the ones that do not get the lead part of Kumoriko get to play the suporting roles of Ako, Bko, Cko, Dko, Eko, Fko, Gko, Hko, Iko, Jko in the K Team movie.

We are trying to fix that currently, some submitted as two different jpgs and others as one, the program does not know to pair them so it'll fixed tomarrow since I'll be opening it up to render them and the non jpgs that were submitted. We are only supposed to have one mascot so it will be rendered for the same file holding both version. any voting for chibi or adult will go to the same mascot in the meantime. Sorry for the confussion.

Not sure about that but all entries will have their place in the mascot entry gallery in our program and may make guest appearances elsewhere.

Ohh how about a Magical Girl RPG setting with the K Squad. I want to have the +5 Vorpal Umbrella
-
damn it, I'm so stuuuuuuuupid T_T I thought today was the last day to ENTER so I waited until I went to school today to scan mine and touch it up with the nice scanner . . . I hate my life . . .
Here, you guys can SEE her anyway. Didn't make her for myself XD

it says all entries need to be recieved by April 14th....
People who submitted today are still going to be up there too right? since it;s the 13th?
edit: NOW they're there! yay! *dances*
-
whoa MistressLegato your is really good
-
I cried, literal tears, when I figured out April 14th was the cutoff, not the deadline. I have worked over twelve hours on my peice and now it will not be entered in the contest. I wish this would have been made a little clearer beforehand!
I didn't realize that April 14th was the voting day...not the deadline. I feel so discouraged...all that work!

oh??? we are sorry really I am sure yours is great but send in your kumori girl anyway you might get in the gallery.
-
I sent it, per your advice. I hope that no special exceptions will be made for me but I still really hope that somehow I can squeeze it in. Late by one hour! To all Kumoricon staff related to this contest.....does the fault lie in me for misinterpreting the deadline or perhaps could this have been made clearer? I was still impressed by the entrants that were already in the contest. I look forward to seeing who the winner is, no matter what outcome.
To everyone who entered, well done and good luck! It was really hard for me to cast a vote (especially because mine wasn't in the gallery :wink: ).
I know this sounds cliche, but I think they were all fantastic. They all show different facets of the rainy northwest, I was just happy to look at them all up close and with every one I kept thinking "Oh! I wish I would have thought of this or that!". Heh...that's always the way it is in the end.
Congradulations all contestants! I hope everyone had as much fun making them as I did.
-
I think voting opened early. The idea is that you can change your vote up until the deadline, if new ones are added to the page.
If I am interpreting the rules correctly, the contest is still open for entries (spindrift, can you confirm?), and that you can still send entries for about 22 more hours. Then, there will be a 24-hour period where voting remains open but no more entries will be added. (is this correct?)
So any people who have been planning to enter should still send in their entries if they want.
I think the source of the confusion was that voting opened early, so some assumed that the contest had closed to entries, and it in fact is still open.
-
Thanks very much Wolfwood.
Hey guys, I sent mine yesterday mornin' and she's still not even on the voting page. Did she not get received or something?
-
The contest entry I slaved over.....:(
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31816259/
-
AW! It's so cute!!!
I guess we will turn things in earlier for the brochure contest, ne?
-
Where can I find information about the brochure contest? I want to make sure I have my deadlines correct this time. @_@
(ps.....thank you! ^_^)
-
Yes, you can still turn them in and it will go up on the website tonight, I will be putting up the update probably around 5.
PLEASE please please I BEG of you: send it in jpg format! Converting these sucks and the site cannot handle the other formats without going batey.

Hey, you still have plenty of time to get started on next year's mascot!
-
Ahh!!! Three hours until zero hour! I'm so freaking nervous....I hope that I win, but at the same time there were so many mascots I would be happy to have win. Gah!
[EDIT]
Oh. My. Gawd. Hour and a half till votes close. Is it totally wrong that I'm staying up for this? I'm just excited to find out who wins!
-
Vote while you can! less than one hour to go! you would not believe how many hits have come in the last hour!
-
i already voted how many times can you vote?
-
once but you can change up untill midnight tonight if you wish!
-
Holy crap....this is it!!!!! When are we gonna find out the results?
-
20 minutes... maybe less
-
So The voting was VERY close up untill the very last. Every vote has been counted by our program, recounted by myself and by an uninvolved third party: My office coworker. results match on all three so here it is:
NDKumori1: Blue Beauty Kumoriko is our winner and new mascot
Hot on her tail was second place winner MisuKumori4: Our Misterious Kumoriko
And closely followed by our third place winner ALKumori14: Magical Kumoriko
-
Dx Second place! So close!
Congrats to Neolucky though!
-
Ah! Congradulations all of you!
-
I voted for you, Neo! Congrats! She's really cute :)
-
Congradulations to Neo! I voted for you too! It was really hard for me to pick one, because I liked so many of them!
-
check it out- our banner has the 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners
-
Be sure to hit refresh a few times or your browser will use the old, cached version.
-
the banner looks beautful, darkerlight. great work, everyone!
-
Aw thanks guys! And the banner looks great!
-
I love the new banner, don't get me wrong, but I have a few thoughts.
I don't see how the three winners are supposed to be the girl next door that lives in Oregon that has her trusty umbrella in case it rains.
I guess the voters decided on looks over what we were going for.
Aw well. . . .guess there's next years mascot contest.
-
I've already started on next year's mascot. I just got so bored, and I enjoyed this years drawing so much that I thought, hey, why not? And I chucked the last one out so fast that it turned out sloppily anyway. Bah. I'm just bored is all. Are the rules going to be the same for next year's contest as well or has anyone cared to even think that far ahead?
-

And at the same time, how are they *not* what you just described? Honestly, not everyone knows what Oregon looks like, or what next door neighbor girls are like either. Infact some of the entrants are probably not even from Oregon and will be attending Kumoricon for their first time ever. I'm not sure what you were expecting out of the contest but...maybe enter yourself if you didn't next time =) And show us what you think would work better!

Totally. I personally find your comment uber- condescending. Somebody is MY neighbour, so as their girl next door I'm the anime and game addicted cosplay spaz. So however you think the entries don't suit your taste, tough, really. And I'm glad quality won. I'd be upset if something poorly drawn, but close to whatever you think girl next door means won.
neo's girl won and she looks pretty normal to me. She's got on warm clothes and boots and she's happy, even if it happens to be raining.
How is that not "girl next door in OR?"
-_-
-
just because kumori girl isn't in jeans, a t-shirt, and sandals doesn't make her not be kumori girl. Hell, I've seen girls dress almost identically to that in my area and still go outside with an umbrella, LOL
-
Rules for next year will be similar but not "exactly" the same. There will be a "rules" page to review once the link gets all fixed and pretty.
Our trial run went pretty well for being the first time, but the system showed some not so little flaws and will be revamping for next year's contest.
Just like the fan art room it will have continued voting while last minute submissions can still be recieved. Submissions for the 2007 mascot will be accepted from May 1st 2006 up untill September 4th. Voting will begin on September 1st and end on Sept 4th 2006 right after closing ceramonies for 2006.
-
Almost finished with my next adult mascot. Are the rules page going to be up soon? I've just been working on it for fun, so I'm not going to be terribly broken up about it if the submission I've been working on won't be accepted, but I do want to start on next year's mascot sometime soon. Just wondering when the page is going to be up...
-
May 1st the page will be up.
-
why is it always a girl as a mascot? one of these years we should draw a guy... unless if that's not the kumoricon thing, I dunno
-
Its a kumori thing... the mascot is based on our symbol... the oval with the umbrella girl but we did have one person turn in a kumori couple this year which I thought was pretty cool.
-
I've finished the adult version of my next entry to the mascot contest. It can be found here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32246884/). Currently working on the chibi.
I like to call this "Revenge of the Rubber Ducky". It's the same girl I entered for this year, only a year later. Longer hair, older face, updated clothes. Same umbrella and ducky and cloud.
It's taking soo long to draw these, but I'm glad that I have the time to do it for this next contest. This last contest I did everything in a rush and even then it was late. :?
-
o.O; How could it be late...you have practically a year and a half.
-
o.O; How could it be late...you have practically a year and a half.
I think they mean this past years contest....I think we only got about 3 weeks notice before the deadline...
-
Yeah, I was talking about the last contest.
