FAC Mother's Day Contest (2012)

CONTEST: I am a hypothetical "mother" (even if I am male) to my OCs. If they were real, how would I treat them?

Deadline: May 20, 2012 (CLOSED)

Theme:[/b] I love my mom, you love your mom, but hey! Are we forgetting about someone important? I am a mother, working day and night to take care of my OCs, making sure they grow and mature artistically! Why do I not get some credit here? Draw you as a "mother" and your OCs as your "children" in whatever familial, action-packed, and hilarious situation you want. If those OCs were real, think about all the trouble they would/would not give you!

Rules:
1. Only 1 submission per user
2. When May 20, 2012 12:00 AM passes, submissions are closed for the contest. I do not take late work, no matter how good you are. :)
3. No explicit sexuality/violence

Scoring Guidelines:
Skill: 40 points
Example: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs35/f/2008/237/5/9/Mother_with_skull_head_by_mr_biggs.jpg
- You can use crafts, digital mediums, traditional mediums(etc.) to express this theme, but you need skill to make it look good! Whatever style you work with, whether anime or realism, make it synchronize with your idea, and your skill will inevitably show.

Creativity: 30 points
Example: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/182/3/d/Mother_3___Ketchup_please_by_Hyura.png
- Drawing yourself in an apron with your OCs standing next to you is boring! Put yourself in a motherly/ironically not-motherly moment and play around with how your OCs would react!

Motherliness: 20 points
Example: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/142/2/e/Mother__s_day_by_meago.jpg
- Add an element of maternity and matron-ness to your picture whether it be cooking, worrying, cleanliness, nagginess, etc. How well you creatively portray this motherliness will determine your points!

Colors: 10 points
Example: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/248/7/2/mother_gothel_by_b_agt-d48xkq8.jpg
- Since there are all kinds of mothers, and the flowery, warm, obedient mother stereotype is fading, colors are completely free reign as long as they are used professionally/decently!

Prize:
1rst Place:
-Putting your winning picture on the site news/main-page (this will be an alternative to those who still do not completely qualify for featured pictures or are too new to be popular)
- Specialized 2012 Mother's Day Contest Winner badge that you can put on your profile

Note:
- Send contest information (whether you will enter, questions, links to entries) to either this picture, the forum post, or my profile
- You can draw as many or little OCs as you want (as long as there are not so many OCs that it makes the picture hard to understand)
- You do not have to draw yourself as the "mother," but it would be more fun that way!

Post any questions! If not, be lost in a void of confusion, laughter, and pointing fingers. Good Luck!

Her typical Mother's Day is packed with fast-riding snow sleds and loud screams down a snowy mountain-side! Who cares about making her cake and cookies; she can entertain herself! In addition to drawing her two anthro OCs well, she has shown her talent for simple but beautiful snow backgrounds. It is obvious their Mother's Day could not get any better!
