May 3First off, I'd just like to say I'm not overly fond of contests because I don't like the declaration of 'losers'. We loved every entry we received. Getting fanart like this is just one of the best feelings in the world, to know you all liked our characters enough to spend your time drawing them in your own way. I just want to thank all of you SO MUCH. We never expected to receive so many entries and of course we can't include them all. We did, however, end up having two pages for fanart instead of one. Deciding which pictures to use also depended a lot on layout and how they'd look in print. It was an extremely hard decision, but it's ok! There are still 8 more parts to Pie-IX, which means a lot more pages for fanart in the future. ׃D
But enough with the chatter! Here are the 18 winners, in no particular order (actually, they're listed in the order they were received xD):

It can be your full name, your online-nickname, or both. You can also include a website or email for contact.
Much thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners! n_n
April 30Ok, the contest is now closed! Wow. I had no idea we'd receive so many entries! @_@ You guys are crazy! *loves you all* We have some seemingly impossible judging to do tomorrow, so don't be disappointed if the winners aren't announced right away. This is going to take some time. ^^'' I love all the entries, so much that they even made me depressed with my own art. I feel so inferior and unworthy! Ok, I'll shut up now. I've been up all night and it's now time for me to go to bed. (-__- ) z zzZ Z Z ZZ~
March 15The first book of
Pie-IX is due for printing in May.
ladyjaida and I have decided to hold a fanart contest to feature the winners in the back of the book. If you think this would interest you, please read on.
The first half of the story is posted online
here, with a few images of the characters in it. For other images:
NineAge: 18
-
Profile Pic-
Nine with Cee-
First Concept DrawingNine also has several 'IX' tattoos, the visible ones being above his right eye and on his right middle finger. He mainly wears t-shirts with hoodies over top and a pair of loose pants and black sneakers. There's no set article of clothing for him, so feel free to change the design of the clothes a bit, as long as you stick to those main garments.
CeeAge: 19
-
Profile Pic-
Cee with Nine-
Full Body, Alternate Outfit -
Profile SketchYou can style Cee's hair differently, but don't change the cut. She usually wears long shorts over frayed stockings with
rubber bee boots and candy necklaces/bracelets.
FynnAge: 23
-
Profile Pic-
MSPaint Sketch ׃D
Fynn mainly wears jeans and t-shirts with
various different sayings on them.
The Horologist-
Time's Trio-
First Concept Drawing-
Incomplete Oekaki-
Full Body LineartHe wears a brown corduroy suit with lots of pockets full of pocket watches. He also wears white gloves, a half-glass (not really a monocle), and brown loafer-like shoes.
The Historian-
Time's Trio-
Profile ImageHe looks much like The Horologist, except his hair's longer and he wears full glasses. He also wears a pinstriped suit minus the watches. Instead he tends to be smudged with ink and perhaps a bit dusty. He's shorter than The Horologist and wears black boots with a high heel to make up for it. ׃D
The Watchdog-
Time's TrioHe's a
Pharaoh Hound and has a cogwheel collar.

Rules1. Submissions
must be in 300dpi (atleast 1000px) and large enough for print.
2. You can draw whoever you'd like and as many characters as you'd like in one pic.
3. You can submit more than one entry, but only one of your entries can win.
4. The book is being printed in full color, so we'd prefer the fanart be in color as well. While we're choosing the winners on 'best portrayal of character'—how well you capture the character's personality—quality also plays a part. If you can do amazing work in ink, then whether it has color or not won't matter, but keep in mind that color will be preferred.
What isn't accepted:
- Full pencil work
- Grainy traditional media such as colored pencil
unless you can do it smooth enough that it'll print nicely.
- nudity/pr0n :0
Deadline is May 1stThis is a strict deadline. No extensions.
The amount of entries chosen to get printed in the book depends on how much space we can afford and the turnout of entries. If your image is chosen, you'll be required to provide your full name for credit. All entries will get exposure in one way or another, particularily on the website, so have fun and don't feel bad if yours doesn't make it to print. We greatly appreciate all fanart we receive and look forward to seeing the entries. Thanks everyone!
SubmittingUpload your entries somewhere and send the link to
with 'Pie-IX Fanart Contest' as the subject.
