Welcome!




True Calendar (T.C.) 71 -- A new age where 70% of the human population lives in space thanks to the development of “Dyson Sphere”, a city in space.

The world is divided into two main powers: The Dorssia Military Pact Federation, a power which grew out of a military alliance, and the Atlantic Rim United States (ARUS), which grew in power as it expanded its trade agreements. The minor nation of JIOR has declared neutrality between these two forces and maintains its peace through economic prosperity.

Within the JIOR's Sphere, Haruto Tokishima lived an ordinary life as a high school student in the division known as “Module 77”—until the Dorssian military begins their sudden invasion!

But the whole world will be shaken when Haruto meets the mysterious humanoid weapon, Valvrave!

Year 211 of the Third Galactic Empire
The little Prince stared in amazement at the statues that filled the room. They depicted people he had only heard about in stories. As far as he could remember, they were called “The First Knights” and were the people whose deaths helped bring about the Third Galactic Empire. As he was admiring the statues, he heard the door open behind him, and a familiar female voice spoke up.
“Little Prince do you have any questions about the things which you are looking at?” Shoko walked slowly into the room.
“I do!” The Prince shouted with glee. “These people died in the establishment of our empire, correct?”
Shoko nodded silently in agreement while looking wistful.
“I’ve heard the stories of how many of them accepted the blessing, or the curse as I believe it was called back then, but how did our empire form? How did you accept the blessing?”

:star: Special thanks to :iconsennipo: (sennipo) and :iconinfinitum-outbreak: (Infinitum-Outbreak) for donating to the prize pool!

The curtain may have closed on the series, but that definitely doesn't mean it's the end. Keep the spirit alive, and keep (Valv)raving! :la:


------

Submissions are now closed, and voting is now open to the public! :eager:

:star: To vote, send a Note to the group with your three favourite entries in order of preference, in which #1 should be most favourite.

Here's an example (just, pretend there's actual art):
1: MOST FAVOURITE-EST-EST ART
2: The art I like but not as much as #1
3: I like this one too but it will have to be preferenced third...
Yes, entrants, you can vote for yourself. :la: We won't tell anyone who votes for whom.

Without further ado, here are the submissions:
:bulletred: fav.me/d73gzj7
:bulletorange: fav.me/d73h1v8
:bulletyellow: fav.me/d74k8ob
:bulletgreen: fav.me/d766r9z
:bulletblue: fav.me/d767lw6
:bulletpurple: fav.me/d76diss
:bulletblack: fav.me/d76ek70
:bulletwhite: fav.me/d76gqio

Voting will close on the 24th, and winners announced on the 28th! Thank you, and good luck! :)

------

Here's the final reminder for you all ;D There's some approximately three days left, don't forget~

The next update of this journal will be when submission closes and include details on voting.

------

And yet another update: Due to demand (and the fact that a month timeframe during New Years isn't... the best idea... +I totally misjudged), this contest has now been extended! The new deadline is now February the 14th, or Valentine's Day (11:59PM GMT). That's it, and no more extensions will be available from then.

Hopefully that's accommodating enough for everyone wanting to enter~ :dummy:

------

Minor news update: For US and Canada residents, Aniplex USA is holding a Valvrave Giveaway on Facebook. Entries close Monday 27/1 6PM PST.

Contest Update The Second: One week left, guys! There are currently two entries as of now. If you were thinking of entering, this is your last chance~ :la:
(also, this group's gallery will be overhauled soon, because you've probably all noticed how nonsensical the organisational system is right now. whoops.)

------

Update: There are less than two weeks to go! That's more than enough time for getting an entry in, right? :)



:bulletyellow: :star: :bulletyellow: :star: :bulletyellow:


Valvrave is over. The raving has come to a close. Sure, there's Extra Material such as the manga and the novels, but those are a little hard to obtain outside of Japan. It's up to us fans to keep it alive - we can't let such a fabulous anime die.

So, to celebrate the end of Valvrave: The Anime, as well as the start of this new year, VALVRAVE presents...


Contest #1: The Curtain Falls

Contest #1: The Curtain Falls


The theme is: Moments in Time.


What does that mean? Well, it can mean whatever you think it means.

As this is an "End of Airing" contest, maybe it means the events in the show, told as a tale of the events leading to the Third Galactic Reich. Every moment in the show, reflected as it is in the form of art, or from a different point of view.

Or, maybe you'd like to take a gander at what happens after the show ends, in those 200 years between the fall of the Council of 101 and the flash-forwards which we're able to see.

Maybe you'd like to take a more abstract angle where there are alternative universes yet to have been discovered, where any event which could have happened has happened? Hey, there are alien blobs 200 years later and this is sci-fi, after all.

Take all your feels, think about them in relation to moments in time, and let your imagination run free!


:bulletyellow: :star: :bulletyellow: :star: :bulletyellow:

Prizes and Placing


For now, we'll stick with the traditional three placings:
  • First Place
  • Second Place
  • Third Place
As well as having an Honourable Mention position.

Entries will be judged through public voting, but if there are a lot of entries, a judging panel will select the top ten (or so) to go through. More on the judging panel to come if it turns out to be necessary.

Prizes will use a prize pool system, in which the higher placings get an earlier pick of the goods. The number of prizes each person gets to choose will depend on the number of items in the pool after judging.

The prize pool, as it stands, is currently filled with:
:bulletred: 1x Kakumei Dualism Limited Pressing (Type B) CD* or 3-month deviantART subscription by cocktail-mafia
:bulletwhite: 3x single character sketches by cocktail-mafia
:bulletred: 1x 3-month deviantART subscription by sennipo
:bulletwhite: 1x full CG bust up by sennipo
:bulletwhite: 1x prompted mystery prize by Infinitum-Outbreak
To make it fair for the people who end up choosing later, each person can only choose one item marked with a red dot.

After the turnout on our last event (i.e., none), the same outcome on this contest is definitely something better avoided. So, I'm digging into my savings in order to give the best prizes I possibly can. Thus, if there are more than 15 entrants, I am willing to add a 1/144 scale VVVI HITO Innocent Zero model kit*/1-year sub to the pool.

That's the Red/White Valvrave, the one which graced promotional art and pre-air PVs everywhere, before the curse began.



Please consider donating a prize! Ideally, everyone who shares their love for the show should get a reward, but that'll only be possible if everybody can contribute to the cause~

Housekeeping, or, Terms and Conditions


There's a lot here since this is a "major" contest, so try to bear with me on this one.

The usual art submission rules for this group apply:
:bulletred: Screencaps and official art are only allowed if they have been altered in some way, to adhere to deviantART guidelines.
:bulletorange: Art drawn using dolls or bases will not be accepted.

Additional contest-specific things are:
:bulletyellow: Entrants have to be a member of VALVRAVE. =P
:bulletgreen: Entries must be submitted to the Featured folder, because that's where our contest and event stuff will go~ If it's not in that folder, it won't be considered. (Update: There's now a folder specifically for this contest to reduce confusion, sorry!)
:bulletblue: No dA "mature" entries are allowed. Yes, it's Valvrave, but this is a contest and I'd like to keep it clean~~
:bulletpurple: You may enter more than once, but you can only win once, to keep it fair.
:bulletblack: If you donate a prize, you can also enter~ ♪

Any medium is A-OK! Whether it be art, cosplay, photography, literature, or anything you can think of! :D

...And some miscellaneous notes on the physical prizes:
Anyone choosing option(s) from the Prize Pool marked with an asterisk(*) must be willing to provide their address in order to receive their prize.
Due to my physical location (i.e. Australia), I will be ordering these products directly from AmiAmi in order to reduce the costs of shipping. Please check to make sure you live in a country that is eligible for receiving them.
If the specific prize is unavailable for whatever reason when the contest ends, I'll do my best to provide a reasonable substitute of approximately equal value.

Rules & Information

This group is open to anyone; join requests are automatically approved. :)

There are now a huge myriad of folders for art submission! Pick the one you think is most appropriate - if confused, feel free to ask. If there's something you have but it doesn't quite fit into any of the categories and you think there should be a new one, let us know!
:pointr: The Featured folder is for contest submissions, for now, because it is undeletable. (Please note that this will be changed at some point because in hindsight the folder organisation makes no sense whatsoever)

The comments section is a forum! Feel free to talk about whatever you want about this show~ ♪

Updates to the homepage may be a little slow due to timezone problems, sorry in advance.
(Please note that this is purely a fangroup - we are not officially affiliated with SUNRISE, the VVV Project or Aniplex USA in any way.)

Notes on submissions:
:pointr: Screencaps and official art are only allowed if they have been altered in some way, to adhere to deviantART guidelines.
:pointr: Art drawn using dolls or bases will not be accepted.
:pointr: Deviations put into storage will be removed from the group.
