ASSALAD Contest! Win a year sub, artwork and more!

<sup>//Update October 2nd 2011: There are now more prizes for people who didn't win one of the three main ones and another premium prize for people who submit their entry before October 20th! Updates are marked with a !


So I finally calgulated prizes and costs for a contest and set up the information and references.
In this contest there will be two topics, one main topic and one for people who feel unconfortable with drawing humans.</sup>

A frequently asked question: What is ASSALAD?
- ASSALAD is a comic project by me that is currently in progress. Most of the storybook is already written and so I had the idea of letting people interpretate certein scenes on their own and be excited over the results.


Topic I

This is the main topic for my contest, I simply challenge you to illustrate one of the following scenes according and/or appearing in my comic ASSALAD:

Theme 1: Waka and Clover, the one making fun of each other, playing a prank on the other one or having a sarcastic argue.

Theme 2: Waka's and Luhsan's first date at an (ice) Café.

Theme 3: Clover and ZigZack spending a nice day/evening together (as couple or almost couple) or taking a walk at a cold winter day.

Theme 4: Waka at his job as waiter at an Café.y

Theme 5: Waka and Clover being involved in a fight/argue with a group of Nazis (weapons welcome).

Theme 6: All four spending their time together before christmas.

Theme 7: The couples (Waka-Luhsan, ZigZack-Clover) or best friends (Waka-Clover) falling asleep or chilling out on couch/bed.
