:O)

I think it did work out better for everyone concerned so that's great, and everyone has been really gracious, so... :) I'm looking forward to your artwork, Alejandra!! Gracias!

YAY, Bonni, looking forward to it. And yup, I'm thinking mainly the Fabio TYPE covers for this contest. Some of that art is just gorgeous. ps/ My sister's name is Bonnie too... different spelling, but same name. :)

LOL, that's right!!! And of course the titles, since you're required to put a title on the cover as well.

Oh I go into bookstores to browse the romance and fantasy sections all the time, just to look at the cover art. And no, you're right, SpiceBunny. In mainstream romance fiction, it's man/woman, and that's what we're doing here. Why I said using V3 and V3 is OK is because V3 does have male morph options that can make her look like a man, except for one thing, which will be covered by the clothing anyhow, so... it's all good. :))

No that's fine, kmw, no problem. As long as there's the traditional man/woman depiction on it. We HAVE seen mainstream romance novel covers with a love triangle, so that's totally cool. :) OH, and I keep forgetting to mention this but a V3/V3 cover is OK so long as one of them is morphed as a male, so as to represent the mainstream romance novel cover. :))

:) Yep now everyone can enter and the prizes are better so... :) hehe Although I am sincerely sorry for anyone who might be offended by having purchased something when they didn't "have" to.

Ah well then GOOD!!!! beos53 there ya go. :O) I'm just a little on the paranoid side on the moment given my enormous faux pas with the start of this contest.

Thank you, everyone!! And beos53, I'd rather you didn't do that, only to be safe regarding copyright. After all we've gone through with this contest so far, I think it's best not to base your image on anything other than your original concept (sorry to be a wet blanket there, just trying to be safe) -- I know that my sample image here, "Bye Bye Blackbird", IS actually the title of a song, but the image at any rate is not eligible for the prize, so it's "ok" in this instance (I hope -- if not, I will do a new sample image title NO PROBLEM).... but because there is profit to be gained from the contest, it might be an infringement for any images to do this... so just to be safe... PHew... I don't know if I just made this more or less confusing. hehe

Thank YOU guys!! :O) You're making this very easy on me. :O) And now don't quote me on this, because it's still being looked into, but if all goes well, once this contest "goes live" on June 21, there will be a place for it on Renderosity's front page. IF this happens, contest images will be submitted to the contest area, just as they are currently being done for the Spring Fever contest. It would be great exposure for everyone's artwork too, I think. You'll see on June 21, on the front page, if it materializes Again, thanks all. :))

Thank you guys SO much... I feel just terrible that I let this happen at all... but am humble and grateful for your generosity of spirit. :) Jessie.

On the plus side, there are better prizes now though, lol

Jessie. :)

Again, I am SO sorry to anyone who will feel put out by having purchased only to enter the contest when maybe otherwise they wouldn't have. I hope this will be forgiven, it was a mistake, and it will not happen for the next contest. Note the "prize may be added here" for 3rd place IS the $10 gift certificate. In my haste to post the rules change, I forgot to take that part out, though I did add the prize*

Great, Folded!! :) Looking forward to it!!! :O) And to be fair to Armorbeast, I ask that everyone, out of respect, drop the subject of the legal issue now, even though no one has personally attacked him. Things have been settled. :O) Most importantly, he has lost his Mom just this morning. Let's keep them both in our prayers and/or our thoughts (if we don't believe in God)...

Yes, Wildflowers, the width being the smaller measurement in portrait format. I will post a sample image in my gallery prior to the start date, though, so you'll get to see exactly what I mean. :O)
