Wow that does sound interesting.
Hopefully I'll be able to try and improve my art skills before the deadline. @_@;

I'm so glad I moved to Ontario this summer. They always exclude Quebec from all contests! ~_~;

While i don't ususally do fan art because of the possible legal complications, i definitely can't pass up an opportunity to join in a contest hosted in part by Square. I just hope i can squeeze another drawing into my schedule and still meet my other art deadlines!

Thanks for sharing the info!
