Hello everyone, it's a me Fario~!

Submit your entry to the Contest Entry Folder because otherwise it probably wont be counted because I'm pretty sure most of us don't know how to submit others art into a folder. I'd have to figure it out ;^;
Also feel free to suggest theme ideas

A great and well-structured piece, this entry shows that you don't necessarily need red to make a great Valentine's Day art.

A gorgeous cookie 'n' creme colored entry with an equally nice dress! Love the simplicity of the background as well

♥ 1st Place Winner ♥

A beautiful entry craftfully using red in almost everywhere in the entry
This was ranked pretty highly with the others too!

I'll be giving away the prizes as soon as this gets posted.
Everyone, regardless of winning or not, did wonderful this theme! It was difficult for us to choose, but please, again, know that we loved everyone's ideas for this month

Fantage Fair Competition # 38 - NATURE
_{Due Date: Saturday, March 25th, 2017
As requested by dqisyy}

At long last, February is almost at an end, with the wonderfully grassy nature of spring around the bend.
Already snow is disappearing left and right, though even though it's not the case for last year's political fight.
So in order to forget about the hatred, let's instead focus onto something naturally sacred.

_{I've been feeling into a little Dr. Seuss mood with all these wonderful memes of movies that disgracefully "adapt" his charming works, so why not make this section be in rhyme from now on lol}

FFC Spotlight
✪ This Month's Suggested Idea: SPIRITS ✪
_{Though we do appreciate the many edits Fantagians have done over the years including proper attire and flower gals, why not add a little spiritual touch? Personally, we'd invite some supernatural things, such as fairies, mythological creatures, or even a personification of Mother Nature
Oh and if you're going to do fairies, maybe try using some traditional fairy designs, like this one.}

✪ Inspirational Art Features ✪


✪ Helpful Tips ✪
This mini-section of our newly-revamped FFC Spotlight has the extra ideas we mentioned last time! Again, they won't necessarily increase your chances of winning, but these will maybe help you think of something for your entry other than our admin-approved suggested idea

- Since March is around the corner, maybe try to use spring, or lots of earthy (green/brown) colors into your entry.
- Need a background and can't think of one? You can use Fantage's backgrounds-- I suggest their Forest and Secret Fairyland backgrounds as those are pretty effective for this theme.
- There's always the option to have a Fantagian dressed in appropriate attire! Flowers, greens, browns, and overall spring clothing will look nice.
- Having an entry depicted with sunlight somewhere always gives it a natural look.
- If you're feeling creative, try looking up some foreign places with forests and get inspired by them. You may never know if it gives you some great results, so why not xD

Rules:
1. Please make sure your contest entry follows the theme of the Fantage Fair Competition.
2. If your contest entry uses items made by someone else, please credit them. If you did not credit them, I will remind you to do so; if you deny having used others' items when it's clear that you have, your entry will be disqualified.
3. If your contest entry uses items made by someone else who does not allow them to be used for profits/in contests, then I will remind you to change your entry so that they are not present in there anymore; if you do not change it, your entry will be disqualified.
4. Please submit your entry before either the due date or when I start judging; otherwise I will not count it.
5. Please submit your entry into the "Current Fantage Fair Competition Entries" folder in our group's gallery or I will not notice/count it. I will usually remind you to put it there if it has not been there already.
6. Unless the competition allows collab/group work, please make your entry by yourself. Don't bribe anyone to do it for you, unless you need help animating it or making a preview.
7. Entries have to be Fantage-related, no matter what type of medium or art is used.
8. Please don't bash others with mean comments about their entries, they may be offended!
9. If you have questions, please ask! I may forget to add things. And don't worry, I won't bash you, there's really no such thing as a dumb question.
10. Enjoy and have fun!

1st place - 15
2nd place - 10

Let's give a warm welcome to our recent member-turned-admin, Arioodle!!

_{i dont own dat pic. or wat other pic i end up usin...}

She's a lot more online than the other admins, so maybe she'll brighten this ol' place right back up
_{maybe she can do some of these ffcs too heheheheh}
And also, we are planning a collaboration contest with FantageFairs!!
I hope you guys will look forward to it, we will announce them soon, probably when March actually comes lol

In the meantime, I suggest listening to this song if you're getting just as depressed as I am these days! It always makes me feel brimming with positivity again ^_^
_{so here's an equally happy picture lol}

It's probably from all those Disney DVDs I'm borrowing from the library lately lol

Maybe I can get some cake this time?
