Tribute to the Beatles Contest

Mood: Euphoric
Listening to: Nothing
Reading: nothing
Watching: nothing
Playing: the computer
Eating: nothing
Drinking: nothing

Ive been thinking of starting a contest that would actually be fun instead of just designing a new character for me or something cliche like that. The thing about me is, I absoloutely LOVE the Beatles. Their music is so inspirational to me, and I think they're lyrics are so symbolic and moving. Some people may think that they're music is a bunch of nonscense, and it really doesn't matter to me. I can listen to them all day and night, thats how much I love them. I even actually like the movie Across the Universe, even though they changed the songs around a bit, but as long as they have the lyrics down Im game. So, now comes my new contest.

Draw one of your characters interacting in one of The Beatles songs. It can be in the form of artwork, a story, or both.

Prizes

First Place
Two drawings of your character with detailed backgrounds.
Example:[link]
PLUS a 3 month subscription to DA

Second Place
Two drawings of your character with a semi-detailed background.
Example:[link]
PLUS a 1 month subscription to DA

Third Place
One drawing of your picture with a limited background.

PLUS a 1 month subscription to DA

If there are a lot of enteries, I will have honorable mentions, too ^.^

I decided to make it one of your characters because face it, we all like drawing our own characters a lot, and I would rather make this contest fun than a pain. I have found a website that has listed all of The Beatles songs and their lyrics, and all you have to do is draw your character corresponding to that song. Which ever picture has the deepest meaning to me will be the winner. I really dont care about talent and such. If you have a stick figure with an amazing story behind it, than you can win! The deadline will probably be some time in the summer, so you can take all the time you need! I would really love to see people enter this, because it would really make me happy. Good Luck everyone!

Great! If you would like. What I was thinking though was draw something like, what you think the lyrics mean, such as for strawberry fields forever, you can draw your character running through fields of strawberries lol but whatever youd like! Thank you though!!

I definately have to enter this! I've been looking for a reason to get off my lazy butt and draw, and this sound like a lot of fun! It's a great idea!
