CONTEST PROMOS
Because we love the people here who take the time and effort to give us wonderful contests to join and win amazing prizes. They just need your help to get them off the ground. So here are a few of the current conests being hosted along with other little facts about them.

Birds Of A Feather hosted by *barracuda-78
- ends June 1, 2009
"My idea for this theme came from seeing a single, gorgeous piece of artwork on here. That was this one: [link]. I find to be one of the most stunning things I have ever come across on here! Thus, all kinds of ideas sprouted in my head. There are so many different bright colored birds that could be used in this manner! There are tons and tons of ways you can go with this, so i hope you all just let loose and take it to the next level!"

Relationship Contest hosted by =larfsalot
- ends April 30, 2009
"I thought of the idea of using Relationships as a theme mostly by thinking of Jazzi. The relationship I had with her was intense, full of ups and downs and twists and turns, a lot of love and many other colourful emotions. Relationships can be such fickle things, but one thing is for sure, you cannot survive this world without them. I've not seen another dA contest to use Relationships as a theme so I thought it was quite original too. And it should be loads of fun to see what everyone comes up with! There are so many possibilities, I hope you're all as excited as I am!!"

Design Yourself as an Animal by =SynysterBrittany
- ends April 20, 2009
"Okay so the contest is to design your self as an animal. It can be a horse, wolf, squid, bee, whatever! Just make it look like you. For example... I have blond hair so if I made a horse it would be a palomino or maybe a chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. Remember to enjoy yourself and try the best you can! "

I'll add more as I find more.




DONATIONS
I have a few goals for surreal as a whole. One, is to get her dA subscribed so we do a whole butt load of fancy things. Two, make her "ad free" on the forums and get rid of the google advertisements. And three, to get a paid cbox perhaps.. so we can have little neat avatars. But I mostly just want to expand, you know. Make her even more bigger and better. If you wanna help - then just email me at y.oursonaive@hotmail.com.

ARTWORK
I will have all of the artists' galleries watched and as you submit artwork that is either sistering (same image, with different titles and your personal stuff.) or the original request piece - fav it - and then it'll be added to our gallery. our gallery - is our favorites. that way everyone gets their names and work out there without you having to do anything.
