This post officially closes the Writing Contest. Winners will be announced Sunday 23rd.
And with this post also begins the Art Contest, yay! This one will be held in one round and will be open for everyone. I will put the rules in a Q&A fashion, as that it easier to read and comprehend. On we go.
What is the Art Contest?
The Art Contest is your chance to show of your drawing abilities and to get featured into the first PJM issue! The big winner will also receive a free copy sent to his home.
What do I have to do?
You have to submit a fairly large drawing intended to be fit alone on an A4 sheet of paper. It can be any style, anything you want, as long as it has to do with Pokémon. It should also have zero to little text, as it should be an artpiece and not a comic.
Where do I send it to?
You can email me at ‘magazine at pokejungle.net’ with an at-sign instead of at.
Technical details?
These are important. If you don’t submit it like it is said here, your entrance may be invalid. I’ll mail you back if that is the case however. The picture itself has to be around 2480 x 3508 and must closely maintain the aspect ratio of 1:1.41 (width:height). I’ll only accept uncompressed .png, no jpg, gif or Photoshop formats. Your image is best zipped to a zipfile and attached as an attachment to your mail, in order to avoid compression by mail services. Certainly don’t use an image host to sent it to me, their results are horribly compressed.
How much time do I have?
The contest’s closing date will be announced at a later date, but you have plenty of time.
Can I include my signature?
You not only can but you have to include your artist’s signature so we and everyone else know it is your work. Keep in mind you’ll still be the owner of the artpiece, but you have to give us a free license to allow your work being published in the magazine, in exchange for a copy of the magazine itself.
I’ve got some questions not mentioned here
You can always mail me at the email address given above. Note: I do not give free personal interviews. Contact my agent for that.
Update:
Of course it can (and should) be a digital drawing. Who still uses manual tools when we’ve got a whole range of electronics to aid us. Besides, a direct image is always in higher quality than a scan or picture :).
I’ll be sure to write a reminder the coming weeks. Now I have to tackle writing some additional for PJM, work never seems to be done, ugh. Luckily I have two free weekends coming up! 😀 Happy commenting!
P.S. I need sleep. I hate waking up at 6 am in the morning in the weekends.
Yay I found it! :3 IT’s like the only effortful drawing I’ve posted XD (Besides may and max) http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/776/6536/original.jpg

240 eggs and no shiny yet. Is my charm broken? xD
*One minute later* Igneous gets shiny XD
Illuminati.
You can’t call it broken unless you’re on 700-1000 eggs.
AHHHHHHHHH!
Shiny Phanpy!!!!!!
Let’s me check and update its IV later.
congratsssss!!
Congrats! 😀
CONGRATULATIONS! :DDD
Ok:
Male Shiny Phanpy, Adamant, 31 IV in HP, Attack, Special Defense and Speed.
With Ice Shard, Play Rough, Endeavor, and Head Smash.
I’m really happy for it.
(But what is it with me and getting 4 IV shiny when all the other normal are 5? XD)
Is it possible to get a shiny kyurem black?
Shiny Black Kyurem? Want to see it? 😀
No, I just battle one over wifi.
Okay.
Typing so literally.
I think so.
I think so, since Kyurem is Soft Resettable.
YES!!! 😀
not sure because zekrom cant be shiny…
I guess it depends if shiny black kyurem needs both a shiny kyurem and a shiny zekrom, or just either one..
Since Black Kyurem is just a FORME of Kyurem, it depends solely on Kyurem being shiny. I think.
It takes kyurem’s level too.
My team in white 2 (just beat first gym)
Sewaddle lvl 13
oshawott lvl 13
you dont need to know the rest.
Oshawott are you talking about!?
my white 2 team gurl ;x
I don’t know what shiny I should go after now…
Any suggestion?
aipom.
WAIT NVM IM GOING AFTER AIPOM XD
My friend has 2 shiny Aipom, so I don’t want to go after it.
Your friend doesn’t own u
u r ur own igneous.
It’s called originality.
And yes. Yes I am.
Well there are 7 billion people in the world and only 718 pokemon so its pretty hard to be original XD
Original where it counts.
emolga! 😀
I don’t like going for shiny one stage Pokemon.
._.
BELLSPROUT! 😀
Something competitively useful.
T-T
slowpoke
pineco?
thats racist
You’re racist for thinking it’s racist.
well played good sir
but ur racist for telling me im racist for telling ur racist
I made my point.
There’s no need to go on.
Lotad? 😀
Ludicolo can be amazing comp.
Does anyone else see that this photo was taken in Reflection Cave? You know, the ONLY place with Carbink? This can’t be a coincidence. Diancie is definitely going to have something to do in that cave.
Refresh for picture.
No pic 😛
It probably will be located at the place where you found Alakazamite.
mega alakiancie cunfurmed
Alakzam and regirock fight over diancie clear body
I refreshed so gimme the picture! Dx
LIES
Diancie is MY Rock Candy!

Shiny Charmander is so cool i cannot believe Masuda Method worked…
Congrats!
I’m still in shock
Need a Defibrillator treatment?
Yes
CLEAR!!! *uses defibrillator*
OWWW!!!!!
… again
Um, clear…? *uses it once more*
OWWWW… i am better
I want to go for shiny Snivy, but it’s pointless since I want Contrary, but it’s not released yet…
shiny serperior is fart, go for something where you can actually SPOT the color difference.
What are you talking about?
Shiny Serperior is awesome in coloration.
The darker top complement well with the lighter green underbelly.
And also since you can’t get contrary it’s kind of pointless
And gen 5 pokemon take a long time to masuda.
THAT’S WHAT I SAID.
So you’re agreeing with me? 😀
I agree that it’s pointless without Contrary.
I disagree about what you said about how Serperior’s coloration is unnoticeable.
So you agree with me? 😀
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
no 🙂
D:
XD
‘jk tell me yo story
It’s a long one… THE DRAWING CONTEST STARTED!
So we are playing Sinnoh this Friday?
Yes! 😀
You dont need to if you don’t want to.

Its my least fave as well.
But I’ll still do it I guess 😛
yes
Torkoal it is. 😀

Do you happen to have a 5 IV or 4 IV Phanpy? I’m currently IV breeding one but I keep getting 3 IVs 🙁
I do.
In celebration of me getting a shiny Phanpy, I’ll give you one for free.
What nature?
Adamant.
I was going for another nature, thank you anyway 🙂
Oh wow, writing that comment gave me good luck XD I just got a 4 IV 😀
Igneous

I loved Ash’s Torkoal
It was so awesome.
It was the only Torkoal that can learn Fake Tears.
Those tears weren’t fake
You don’t know that.
You don’t know its life.
You don’t know its story.
Torkoal is sly.
I lost in northern desert 12 times today DX
make that 14
Does anybody have a Torkoal with egg moves?
I will offer 5IV pokemon.
My Sinnoh team is going to be what my friend used for Sinnoh
Torterra
Gastrodon( Blue)
Ambipom
Drifblim
Skuntank
Lucario
Im so glad you will join us 😀
Of course i would join 😀
Does anyone else see that this photo was taken in Reflection Cave? You know, the ONLY place with Carbink? This can’t be a coincidence. Diancie is definitely going to have something to do in that cave.
Refresh for picture.
Repost because I forgot the picture.
Isn’t Carbink anywhere?
Only in that cave.
Suspicions…
Mr.Mime is only in that cabe
cave*
Maybe she’s cheating on Regirock
I’m feeling like Diancie is one of four things:
Carbink’s Alternative (Female?) Form
Carbink’s Evolution (unlikely, I know)
Carbink with a stone or something attatched to it
Mega Carbink (unlikely, I know)
