Title: Artist of the Month Contest! *New Contest - Anime Characters!*
Post by: Nils_13 on May 21, 2008, 02:02:09 PM
Alright, I know there is an art contest for sigs, but I don't think there's one for regular art, so I'm starting one.  :P (Silver approved, by the way)

Okay, so every month we will judge pretty much whatever type of artwork submitted. I'm going to need people to submit their art. It can be computerized, hand-drawn, whatever you want, as long as it was made by you. At the end of each month, the judges will pick the best art submitted. Their prize? The proud rank of NSider Picasso.
Rules... Yes there are rules....

1. Please sign your art. That way we know you made it.
2. Sigs will also count, since there isn't a contest for them either.
3. After you have submitted your entry, that's it. You can only edit that entry.
4. One entry per contestant.

More rules may appear if I think of more...  ;)

Judges! You are very important in this.

Judges

This Month's Theme
Anime characters! Draw your own anime characters! Can be made either by drawing or using a computer. Black & White or Color, it doesn't matter.  :P

Entrants:


Deadline: July 12
Rules:

1. Must be made by you.
2. Only one entry is permitted. Once you submit your entry, only it may be changed.
3. Please sign your art.

Then this can count as that too.  ;D

So you can draw, anything?

and can you submit stuff you already have posted? (In an art thread)

Usually each contest has a certain theme, with NSider, it was related to the next hot game. Also, there is usually a hand drawn, and CPU drawn categories.

Oh! Thanks for reminding me of that Mackormoses! :O

Our first contest will be...... A banner contest. It can be hand-drawn, GIMPed, whatever! There will be two winners (or one, depending on submitted stuff), one for hand-drawn and one for computer made.

It needs more stuff, such as the deadline, rules, and/or amount of entrants.

What Silver should do is in the news Section, rather than "Hi," he should link to the new contests going underway on Nsider Forums. That way, contests won't go unnoticed.

Good idea, yes? Any way, I'm ready to judge.
Title: Re: Artist of the Month Contest! *First Contest Announced!*
Post by: Triforceman22 on May 22, 2008, 11:24:27 AM
I'll enter!

So, I need to draw a banner...

can it be about Metal Gear Solid 4?

since it's the next "hot" game? :P
Title: Re: Artist of the Month Contest! *First Contest Announced!*
Post by: Nils_13 on May 22, 2008, 11:30:00 AM
Of course. ^_^

I'll put you in the entrants once you submit it.  :P

Damn. I'm using a Shadow Mario render too :p.

Anyway, what dimensions (In pixels) do you want these? Another thing, you may want to allow people to change their entry, but only with another form of the one they already made. For example, lets say X there changes that one up a bit, you just let him change his entry to the new version.
Title: Re: Artist of the Month Contest! *First Contest Announced!*
Post by: Nils_13 on May 26, 2008, 06:58:52 AM
That's a good idea! That way, if people notice an error they overlooked, they can correct it... Or, something like that.  ^_^

And as for pixels and dimensions and whatnot, it really doesn't matter. Just don't make it enormous or anything. ;)
Title: Re: Artist of the Month Contest! *First Contest Announced!*
Post by: Triforceman22 on May 26, 2008, 03:51:05 PM
So, i'll just draw a pic of Snake or Raiden and have it say "Artist of the month" on it
is that okay?

btw, is there a hand drawn category?

Looks like you've got a good start, Nils!

I think you should edit your post so that it includes the current information... such as fixing the contradiction about the sig contest and also stating that this is now a banner contest.

Good looking stuff so far  <3

Post by: SkyMyl on June 15, 2008, 06:25:29 PM
All right, the theme of the contest is Anime. Draw your own Anime Characters, upload them to Photobucket, post 'em here. They must be your own creations, and you can also draw an Anime representation yourself, if you can't create/haven't created an Anime character. Get crackin', and don't forget to sign it.

Also Nils, you haven't put X9's banner up yet. ;)
Title: Re: Artist of the Month Contest! *New Contest - Anime Characters!*
