I decided that since chapter one of A.N.D. - Androids Never Die is more than likely to appear in issue 3 of El Paso's original manga magazine Gaiga's 3rd issue (which is due out in April or May 2010) that I wanted to hold some sort of contest to promote it! The really neat thing about this contest is that everyone who enters gets a prize. No, you did not read that wrong. I did put that everyone who enters will win a prize. Here are the contest details:
What kind of contest: This contest will be a character design contest, which also includes making stats and a small back story for the character.
How long is this contest going on: All the way until April 17th, 2010.
How do I enter this contest: It's very simple! All you'll need to do to enter this contest is design an A.N.D. character that falls into one of the following categories:
1] a TSUBASA team member.
- Here are some examples -> [link] [link]
-A TSUBASA member must have some sort of signature uniform and weapon
-A TSUBASA team member is basically someone who hunts down rouge ANOIhumans, androids, and robots.
2] an ANOIhuman (a non organic in human.)
- Here are some examples -> [link] [link] [link]
-An ANOIhuman must have an eyeband (it's the piece of metal with a glowy light). ANOIs are made without eyes in order to distinct them from humans. ANOIs are also made with unnatural hair colors, so they must not have human hair colors
And also fill out this form:
Characters Name:
Gender:
Type: TSUBASA member or ANOIhuman
Small backstory: For a TSUBASA team member their story should include why they joined TSUBASA in the first place. For an ANOIhuman it should include a bit about what their purpose for being alive is since they are an artificial bein created in a lab.

WELL, when you do finish your entry please upload it to your gallery then send me a note with a link to the entry and the form that needs to be filled out. Also, include if I may use your character in A.N.D.. By allowing me to use your character I will credit you in the printed volume of A.N.D. as well as an after note of the chapter(s) I use your character in when needed ^__^

Here's what you can win!
Everyone who enters will recieve a signed copy of my version of your character design or a button version. I will pay for the shipping and handling, so this will be completly free to you as my thanks for entering my contest.
The overall winner of this contest will recieve a $10 I-tunes gift card, a poster sized full color version of their design draw by me, and an art commission of their choice. Also, their character will be used in my manga (if I have permission to do so) and a signed copy of volume 1 of A.N.D. when it is printed.
