event Art Contest - March 2021

[Lord Valtasar 12,708]

 It's been a while since we had one of these, so we'll have two this time, one with the regular month long deadline, and a simpler one for just a week
let's start with the smaller one, this one's going to be for a banner, and the theme is 'G5' it must fit as a banner so make it about 4:1 Ratio and it must also include the words 'MLP Forums' somewhere. edits are allowed for this one, it doesn't have to be made from scratch. Deadline is march 8th
the winner's entry will have their banner featured first, but we may also use the others for the following weeks

 as for the regular contest, the theme is 'Flowers' you will have to design a pony (or any other canon mlp universe creatures) inspired by a flower, or even arangement of different flowers. it has to be a New character, you can't just redraw a pre-existing one, you can however use a base as long as you mention it and credit whoever made it. deadline is at March 31st at which point a winner will be chosen and they will get the 'art contest winner' rank until the next art contest weilds a new winner

 post the entries for both in this thread, preferably in a spoiler tag, mentioning for which one it is outside it. if you have any questions feel free to tag me and i'll answer them when i can
good luck, and more importantly, have fun

Where can I upload my art to enter if I may ask? Deviantart or something? I could send you a DM of a pic of my art I made but sadly, DM doesn't have a option where you can send a pic (just the ones with URL).

Are we only allowed to do both contests or just one. For example, could I just do the flower pony contest without doing the other one?

Meet Lotus Bloom, a kirin inspired by the lotus blossom!

Might try redoing the old banner I made for g5 later, just to make it look prettier.

You can upload pictures from your computer/phone straight to the comments in the forums. You can also right click your picture on deviantart and you should get “Open Image in New Tab”.

Once the tab with the picture opens, you can copy/paste the address into the text box on the forums and it will usually be automatically posted as an image.

Well that sounds fun! Hopefully I can get my computer moved to my apartment soon and start working on that.

This is Pappus (Dandelion Seed) Wish. He encourages other ponies to let go of their troubles and hold onto their dreams and desires. He strongly believes in the power of wish-granting though blowing on dandelion seeds.
