Theme
I want to host a circus show! For those of you that don't know, I love the circus and all sorts of performance, so I thought I'd have a show here on DA!

So, the idea here is that you draw your charries (or random circus performers if you don't have any performing characters) doing an act for the circus!

Rules
1. Some people seem to get 'circus' and 'freak show' mixed up. What I'm looking for here is /talent/, which means your act cannot revolve solely on the fact that your character is abnormal.
A good rule example here is this- Imagine you have a shiny pink horse. You're act can't be you just parading the horse around the ring. Your act /can/ be you doing horse vaulting on it.
In other words, your act can involve un-realistic things, as long as that's not what the whole thing is centered around. If you have any questions about if your idea is okay or not, ask me! I'm most likely to say yes!
2. Just draw a snapshot of the act It will take place in a sand-covered ring, but you can have any apparatus you need ^^ the background of the ring doesn't need to be huge and time-taking just enough that we get the idea.
3. No linearts or re-used work....
4. There is no limit to how many time you can enter. Just that one character can't be in more then two acts otherwise it gets crazy as heck backstage, let me tell you
5. Along with the entry, fill out this form:
Act Name:
Performer name(s): (and link to refs of pre-existing characters, if they have one)
Music to go with act: (if any, if you do, a link to is would be awesome)
Description of Act or Short Story:
6. Have fun! Don't let the realistic guidelines stop you!
