Inari Art "Contest"



I had a stroke of brilliance! What if instead of me giving everyone a picture of the founder of the Order of Inari, why not let everyone give us their perspective on how he might look?

ALL ARTISTS WELCOME!

the only conditions!
-Inari IS A GUY and a fox anthro. He is NOT a taur, were-, or half-kitsune. He is the original and he is the best.
-I'm going to be writing a story about him (History of Inari) and while you can have some libertys with it, theres some things that define him.
 1.He never has more than three tails
 2.He scorns armor
 3.The only weapons he uses is a metal staff and a sword of the same metal; if you color it make sure you give them a bluish hue
 4.He does not use firearms; he is magic and considers archaic weapons like guns to be insulting
 5.He doesn't have any scars or piercings

New: Additional info
For those of you who haven't read the story yet, he dresses in a greenish tunic/shirt and his pants are blue (though i wont insist you make them actual bluejeans). Keep up with the great pictures ^^

Im gonna hold this contest open as long as people send in entries, but past May, its not going to be used as his official portrait, but feel free to add as many submissions as you want whenever you want.




Here is a picture of him as I imagine him for the most part (not skilled enough to do it entirely correct, since I draw too small to do enough detail and thereby cut corners) Use this as a model to go off of if you want, though your totally welcome to draw him however you want (so long as it follows the 5 contest rules). Im deliberately not coloring him though; take creative liberty for what you think he might look like.





Final Update

At this point, its not really so much of a contest as it is a place where artists can have something to draw when they're stuck for ideas, feel like making donations, and generally acting as a gallery.

It looked a bit empty so far, so I just disided to try it out...have no scanner though, that´s why it´s a paint pic ^^

2b. [Zab] Weeness! Another paintpic! heh..''-.-,

2c, Surprise! It´s [Zab] again*lol* Same as the above but changed a bit in Photoshop. I´m not sure it became any better, though...Oo *I love his hand!*

3.[Orico] Hey, lookee here, I finally got him up. This is only my second try at an "anthro" character...hope everyone likes it. :D I left the banner to the right of Inari blank--I envisioned his name, or a "chapter __" but I couldn't decide. Oh well. ;)

2005-01-22 [Just Paula]: i would join but my only male fox anthro (well my only male drawing period) is already being used for my Anthro Mafia Gallery and i cant draw males that well so i dun think ill enter..... unless i decide i want to draw another guy which i doubt because drwaing guyss is HARD!!!

2005-01-22 [Wes Foxx]: then i guess its a good thing i over-emphasized that Inari is a guy Oo

2005-01-22 [Just Paula]: ....?

2005-01-23 [Wes Foxx]: DSP claims the first picture! woot. -conflicted issues- i cant say its great but i cant say its bad. its like... exactly average xX try coloring it

2005-01-23 [Just Paula]: i suck at drawing guys v.v but thats ok i will get better eventually!!

2005-01-24 [Just Paula]: GAH I FORGOT HIS EARS!!!!!!!!!1

2005-01-24 [Wes Foxx]: ah, thats what looked odd about it. I couldnt figure it out X.x

2005-01-24 [Just Paula]: Imeant to put ears on him but it was late and i was tired.... i must've forgot

2005-01-24 [Just Paula]: damn caps lock

2005-01-24 [Wes Foxx]: lol its alright ive almost forgotten ears on my drawings more than once

2005-01-24 [Just Paula]: lol

2005-01-28 [Zab]: Hello, Hope you didn´t mind my entry..^^ 

2005-01-28 [Zab]: Eeh..What´s a kitsune? what´s the differense between a kitsune and an anthro?

2005-01-28 [Wes Foxx]: kitsune are a specific kind of anthro is all. Nice job with the pic too

2005-01-28 [Just Paula]: yes it is much better than mine.... i suck at drawing guys...

2005-01-28 [Wes Foxx]: it just takes practice. I used to suck at drawing women but now im pretty good at it.

2005-01-28 [Just Paula]: i guess... but it still suck at it...

2005-01-29 [Zab]: You´´l get over it...I sucks drawing any form of humans, actually, I can only draw horses and such stuff...

2005-01-29 [Wes Foxx]: really? your pic up there looks like you can draw humans when you want to, youd just subtract the tails, reshape the head and minus the fur

2005-01-29 [Zab]: *haha* Not really, the face are the hardest thing...and I always compare my pics of humans with my pics of horses, wich are quite stupid *lol*

2005-01-29 [Wes Foxx]: again you just need practice, try simple doodle-level sketches then slowly work up the detail

2005-01-29 [Zab]: ^.^ too much work, I think I´ll just stay put and wait for a miracle like everyone else lol

2005-01-29 [Just Paula]: mine isnt a miracle.... i had a book infront of me telling me how to draw guys i dust changed a few things to make it a fox

2005-03-28 [Orico]: *bashful!* well--I--I don't know what to say! Thank you! *bows* ;D...And yes, my second try (after the flamingo magician for the anthro chic contest...to tell the truth, I used to draw animal/people thingees *ages* ago...(literally, like 10 years?) but these are my first real attempts at something good, something great!! lol. :D

2005-03-28 [Orico]: P.s.--If anyone would like to color my version of Inari, I would love to see it!! I am not that great with coloring...I would enjoy seeing someone else's take on it!

2005-04-04 [Orico]: hey, hey don't move anything. like wes said, never give up. there will always be someone that's better--my stuff sucks compared to a couple of people i know--but it's how you use your ideas, your originality, and your *persistence* and *perserverance* that counts.  eek. sorry, i sound all "preachy." :P

2005-04-04 [Just Paula]: well that was like one of my first guys....>< i can do a lot better now...

2005-04-04 [Wes Foxx]: *nuzzles you back happily* Ive still got a few I need to get caught up on, writing really distracts you from art >< I can always inspire you to draw ^^

2005-06-17 [Wes Foxx]: huh oO my original life plan was to go bachelor for my entire life and die lonely =P but then I started meeting people I liked enough to reconsider my plans, or at least to have an open mind.

2005-06-17 [Just Paula]: nope ive decided that its stupid to get married knowing i have commitment issues and seeing how many times my mom's got divorced that im just not gunna do it

2005-06-17 [Wes Foxx]: oO...

2005-06-17 [Zab]: yeah, why marry? isn´t it enough if the woman/man know they love each other, do they have to show both heaven and earth too? *lol*

2005-06-17 [Just Paula]: .......

2005-06-17 [Zab]: *shrugs* I just mean I won´t marry, but I don´t care what other decides

2005-07-10 [Just Paula]: *high pitched voice*awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww how cuuuuuuuuute!!!*wants to pick it up and pet it and take it home to cuddle and love and have forever and ever*

2005-07-10 [Nonchalant]: heh thanks

2005-07-10 [Zab]: ::steals it::

2005-07-10 [Just Paula]: u wish i had a coloring program besides paint*pouts

2005-07-10 [Zab]: Aww! but Paint isn´t a very bad program, it is possible to work with...

2005-07-10 [Just Paula]: but its so tedious

2005-07-10 [Zab]: tedious? What is that?

2005-07-10 [Just Paula]: h/o lemme look it up

2005-07-10 [Just Paula]: Tiresome by reason of length, slowness, or dullness

2005-07-10 [Zab]: ok, lol

2005-07-10 [Zab]: wes, there says ''Im gonna hold this contest open as long as people send in entries, but past May, its not going to be used as his official portrait'', what do you mean...and have you chosed an oficial portrait yet?

2005-07-10 [Wes Foxx]: As with many other things, its just basically died. This is more like an archive now.

2005-07-10 [Zab]: I guessed so... too bad.

2005-08-11 [Hummingbird]: Is this still open O.o *twitch*

2005-08-12 [Zab]: I don't think it will close..Oo

2005-08-15 [Wes Foxx]: It basically wont, it'll just become a place where donations will be added, sort of like a gallery.

2005-08-15 [Zab]: yupyup..then there won't be any winner?

2005-08-27 [iippo]: Wow, big bold letters in the top of the page shouting that Inari is a guy... T_T I'm not! (I know the deal with this persona, japanese god blahblahblah but it's always a horrible surprise to see my name in these pages... :C )

2005-08-27 [Wes Foxx]: :3 I never figured I'd ever meet anyone named Inari, boy or girl. =P

2005-11-27 [Paz]: Inari is both a girls and boys name XD It's Japanese for "shrimp" as well, I believe (Japanese names, 101) A kitsune would be a fox... but seeing as Inari is a name then anyone can name everything "Inari" XP

2005-11-27 [the Indigo]: Inari is a very tasty sushi--it's made of a fried tofu skin filled with rice. It's soooooo good! My Japanese friend made some for Thanksgiving dinner. Made my day right there

2005-11-27 [the Indigo]: apparently it's a kitsune's favorite food, that's why in Japanese myths there is a creature called the Inari Kitsune--because it likes all that tasty Inari-zushi! :D

2005-11-28 [Wes Foxx]: Makes sense why the bridgebuilder's son in Naruto is called I-na-ri. I always pronounced in In-a-ri before that :x

2005-11-28 [the Indigo]: ...neh? oO

2005-11-28 [Paz]: I have a comic with Kurama, from YuYu Hakusho going nuts over Inari-Zushi XD

2005-11-29 [the Indigo]: hmm...I don't blame him >>

2007-07-03 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: 2005? D= I take it, this is closed now. =(

2007-07-03 [Zab]: Should be:P

2007-07-11 [Wes Foxx]: It basically ended up not being a contest, so now its more of an 'enter something if you want to' thing :p I'm never around anymore x3
