Third Place;
by
Quote: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
I liked this entry, as well as all of their entries for being based in history, this one in particular struck me
Second Place;
by
Quote: "War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other"
This one was very simple in execution but hit the nail on the head
First Place;
By 
Quote: "We stopped checking for monsters when we realized they were inside us"
this was probably the most used quote, and there were plenty of amazing entries for it, but this one was my absolute favorite
CONGRATULATIONS! I will make a Journal tomorrow featuring all entrants, as well as the honorable mentions!!
Winners, please get a hold of me so I can send you your prizes! :3
Well done everyone! Thanks for making this contest awesome ^_^
WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS SUNDAY AND ALL PRIZES WILL (HOPEFULLY) BE DISTRIBUTED WITHIN A WEEK, pseudo-explanation here xite91.deviantart.com/journal/…
In case you haven't heard, due to an unfortunate mistake, I have to wait to get paid to hand out the prizes, which is about two weeks from now. Even though the contest is TECHNICALLY over, I don't feel it's fair to you guys that I get an extension to pay you, but you don't get an extension to do your entries, SO, until I announce the winners, you have the chance to finish your entries. I will not announce the winners till I can dish out prizes, and I will give you at least a day's notice before I announce the winners. Sorry for the inconvenience guys, thanks for all the help making this such a great contest! <3<3<3
A lot of people have asked for an extension, so here we are, you now have 2 more weeks to enter! Making the contest end on June 23, 2013!
Darn! we almost got that 100 favorites, but we have plenty of reasons to celebrate! For instance, we've hit 21 entries! So on to the 3rd tier of prizes!
So I have a question, are you guys all enjoying this contest as much as I am? because if you are and if you'd like, i can give an extension, just let me know if you want and for how long!
Now onto the good stuff!
THE WINNERS OF THE RANDOM RAFFLE ARE *drumroll*
FROM MY WATCHERS: 
FROM THE FAVORITES: 
AND FROM THE COMMENTS: 
As a prize winner, each of you have a choice between a 1 month premium membership, an equal number of points, or a character design digital painting from me (full body character, no background)
Once the winners are announced I will note you and you will have 1 week to claim your prize, if you do not by this time I will assume you are inactive and give the prize to someone else.
The idea is simple, i give you a list of quotes, you choose one that inspires you, and draw from that inspiration.
~I've decided to add some prizes for GROUPS that feature my contest!~
Any group that creates a journal entry dedicated to my contest WITH A LINK (and, of course, notes me to let me know about it) will recieve 100 points, I've also added a random group premium membership prize for groups!
the people have spoken! (i'm finally getting around to this, sorry...
)

Rules;
I accidentally left out a few important rules, so i'll put them here;
- NO TRACING other artworks, must be your original work
- Bases CAN be used, but make sure the artist that created it knows and allows it (i will ask them) and make sure to credit them
- Collab's are allowed, but make sure you know beforehand how you plan to split the prize
- If it's visual artwork (non craft of course) i prefer it be "complete", as in full background and so on (color does not count as "complete" as i see complete black and white pieces all the time), but again, not a requirement, just a preference
- Adhere to the rules of DA
- It can be gory, graphic, all of that fun stuff, but remember to put a filter on it if it is!
- Payment through paypal, if you don't have paypal we'll work something out (probably an equal amount of points)
- I will not post where the quotes came from (i know some will be a bit obvious). I want you to use your imagination, please don't look it up, and try not to use where it came from if you can help it (i'm not so much looking for fanart)
- Can be any medium of art, any at all!
- Contest open to DA members only, pretty much for my convenience...
- I feel i'm giving plenty of quotes, so please don't take the liberty of using your own, if you'd like to use one not on the list, note me and if i think it should be added, i'll add it
- The artist's comments for the deviation must have the quote used, as well as a link to this journal
- Watches and Favorites aren't ever required, but remember, this contest pays more with more entries, so getting it out there could mean you getting paid more
- Anyone that creates a journal entry linking to this one will get 10 pts and a llama (if i haven't given you a llama already)
- If you create a journal note me with a link to it
- Note me with your contest entry, if you simply leave it here or on my wall i may miss it
- Do NOT disrespect me or any entrants to this contest, anyone who insults another artist's work does not deserve to win the prize and will be disqualified (insulting and constructive criticism are two different things)
- Anyone who does not adhere to the rules will be disqualified
- HAVE FUN!
