Are stick figures meant literally as figures comprised of sticks or would the OOTS styled stick figures be accepted as well?

Example of OOTS if people don't know what I mean:

I believe our rules address this issue.

I think that will be fine as long as it look more like stick people.
This contest is aimed towards those who has little talent for fancy art, but an idea for it. Everyone should be able to do stick figure. ;]


\o/ go stickman!

Yes, just send your submission via Private Message.

[DEM_CIG]

Im sooo excited... lol. I can only draw stick figures... ^_^

[That Guy]

So....would holiday events count? Like a certain White Day monster hunt?

[SabZero]

Events are the theme for the Illustration, not the stick figure comic, that can be any experience of PSU or PSU:PSP.

[ErtaiClou]

Can you enter both or do you have to choose?

[Ryna]

Can you enter both or do you have to choose?

People can enter both contests.

[Konekochan07]

This is probably a stupid question, but I want to ask anyways. If you win one of the figures, is it random which one you get, or do you get to choose in order of rank? (i.e., 2nd place picks first, then 3rd, etc...)

The order of winners should base on the number of member votes.

[SabZero]

Dhylec, he means if he gets to choose the figure.

[Volcompat321]

Can we do the stick figure in windows paint, or any other program? I don't have a scanner, so I couldn't draw it out and save on my pc. :(

[Sayara]

Yes that is a medium of choice for a Stick figure

[Volcompat321]

cool. I already got started, then I was re-reading the rules and whatnot, just wanted to make sure it was good to go.

[Sayara]

Just remember to send the entries via PM as stated and not post them here.

[Volcompat321]

Got it. I read that much lol.

[Konekochan07]

So, do we pick the figures or is it random? No one ever answered that...>.>

Since PSOW only hosts the contests and Sega EU sends out the prizes, the details might come in later. We will definitely let everyone know if there is more info.

[Konekochan07]

k. Thanks for that. I guess we'll wait and see then.

Draw it however you like. The point of the Stick Figure contest is to convey humor. Technique is of no consequence.
