Thanks to Court's suggestion and the positive feedback on the Art Poll, we will be having an art contest! Also, given what the majority of you specified as areas you feel comfortable drawing (stick figures, mechs, ponies, stuff not necessarily standard), I think I've come up with a concept for the contest that should work for everyone; what represents AK to you!
So if Neko wants to draw two mechs battling it out in a box with a cat piloting one and a goose in the other because her and Miha argue in the box all the time, that works! Or if Chakaara wants to draw people as ponies doing some of the weird things that happen on site, she can do that too! Maybe one of the new people will draw all of us as hideous aliens with them crying in the corner because we scare them! It's totally acceptable. Basically, it just has to connect to AK in a way that makes sense.
Because there are obviously varying degrees of ability across the site when it comes to drawing, we will have three categories that will have polls up for them when the contest is over. Every picture will be entered into all three categories which are; best drawn, most creative, and funniest. This should give everyone an equal chance at winning something. There will be a few rules to the contest, which are listed below.
Rules:Prizes:
- Must be original work. No tracing, no bases, no stock images. No one else is allowed to draw the picture for you. You can however, use brushes and textures on Photoshop from other people.
- Digital or traditional drawings are fine. If you don't have a scanner, you can take a picture.
- The picture must relate to AK in some manner. You will have to send in a written description of what you draw that explains how it is related. This will be posted with the picture in the voting threads.
- All entries must be in by November 2nd, 2012. This gives everyone two months to get something done, even for those who work or are going back to school. I will not be accepting late entries. Voting will start on November 3rd, 2012.
Note: If you want, you can use this thread to post work in progress pictures of your drawings over the next two months.
- You may pick two of the following if you win any category; a custom title for your character, a colored title, a colored display name, 30 Gold, a commission from me (or someone else on site if they offer to be added to the list), or if you have a DeviantArt account, 300 points, which can be used to commission artists there.
