The "Personal Pin-Up Style" contest is meant to showcase the different styles of many of the greatest DA artists i've withnessed, popular and underground alike, in a same theme and condition so that their personal style can be more evident and apreciated.
That is why it would be an honor to have you participating with your very own "Personal Pin-Up Style" for this contest.

Now of the the technical part:

-BASES-
The contest's thematic is meant to show the different apreciation of each artist on a same theme, it was decided the base would be a character that was not mainstream or widely known but of wich i coud provide enough samples, that is why we choose Valeria to be the Contest's Thematic Character.
