THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING EVERYONE! STAY TUNED FOR THE PIERS ANTHONY XANTH CONTEST!!!!!



Incarnations of Immortality is the name of a seven-book fantasy series by Piers Anthony. The books are each focused upon one of seven supernatural "offices" (Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature, Good and Evil) in a fictional reality and history parallel to ours, with the exception that society has advanced both magic and modern technology. The series covers the adventures and struggles of a group of humans, called "Incarnations", who hold these supernatural positions for a certain time.

For overview of each of the books in this series, check out Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarnations_of_Immortality


Contest Guidelines
Draw any of the Incarnations, including but not limited to, Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature, Good, Evil... some other Incarnations mentioned in the series are Nox (night) and Chaos, as well as some lesser incarnations such as Pestilence and Plague. 
You may make them in society's traditional idea of these characters or give them your own special look, modernize them, etc. For instance, if you wanted to put a sci-fi twist rather than fantasy or mythological feel, that would be acceptable.
You do not have to draw scenes or specific characters dealing with the Piers Anthony series. His books were merely an inspiration for me to start this contest. You certainly do not need to have read any of the books to understand the theme or participate. Though, I certainly recommend them as great books!

2005-09-13 [cobi]: thanks.

2005-09-19 [Mom]: Oh Great...no age limit. Sarah just drew a picture that would fit here...I need to get her to finish it up.

2005-09-19 [Perplexity]: Yeah definitely!!! I'd love to see what she thought up - she has an awesome imagination! (Must run in the family, eh? heheh) I just started a Fates drawing two nights ago myself. =9

2005-09-19 [Mom]: She did one for War...I think whatever talent I had oozed into her. Everytime she picks up a pencil its awesome.She is far better than I.

2005-09-19 [Perplexity]: There's still something to be said for experience though - you have much to teach her yet.

2005-09-20 [cobi]: that's nice to hear.

2005-09-20 [Mom]: I honestly feel my muse has died of old age....=\

2005-09-20 [iippo]: No such thing! *glomps Mom* We've all seen your work. But it'd be nice to see Sarah's piece in this contest.

2005-10-15 [Sir. Robert]: OMG! I didnt know anyone actually read those books...I LOVE PIERS ANTHONY :)

2005-10-15 [Elwyne]: I read the books, well... up to the one about Nature. I'm just shocked at how every main Incarnation seemed to have something to do with... eventually Niobe Kaftan. That was neat how they connected them all together like that.

2005-10-15 [Skydancer]: Piers is an unusual author. One of only a handful that has been able to hold my attention through nearly all of his books. I was not that interested in Bio of a Space Tyrant, but pretty much everything else he has written I have read and or have in my collection.

2005-10-15 [Sir. Robert]: I started reading Piers Anthony's "Xanth" novels when I was 12 years old (about one or two a week) and tried the "Incarnations of Immortality" series when I was 13 but I had to start them again in 10th grade to truely appreciate them :)

2005-10-16 [Perplexity]: YOu should also check out his Apprentice Adept series - a nice fusion of scifi and fantasy. His Bio of an Ogre autobiography is also very interesting. There really isn't anything by Piers that I don't like I guess heheh

2005-10-16 [Sir. Robert]: I also read the Apprentice Adept after my second time reading through the Xanth series...I really liked those three books espically since they were such a great transition from the Xanth novels to the Incarnation series...(I really have to find my copy of On a Pale Horse so I can read it again...I really love the character that becomes death!)

2005-10-16 [Aegiss]: Could I put up the pic which actually takes part in another contest?.. Will it be ok?. Thanx

2005-10-18 [Elwyne]: hmmm... very few of these pictures actually resembles the characters in the books, though they are pretty neat anyway.

2005-10-18 [Rennie]: It's not easy to personify a character from a book. Feel free to take a stab at it.

2005-10-19 [Elwyne]: hmmm... maybe... I could try, but it might take me a while. I've got some other projects in the works currently.

2005-10-19 [Sir. Robert]: I'm going to try also...but my homework is keeping me from having that much fun :p

2005-10-19 [Elwyne]: Well, I wish you luck with the homework problem... I'd help ya if I could (so long as it isn't math homework!)

2005-10-19 [Sir. Robert]: Well...i'm good at math...thats why i'm so behind in it (I know I can make it up)
