Hello artists of EPW,
even if I havent seen many artists around lately I will give it a try and going to host a drawing contest.
I hope some of you are still interested in those kind of contests and I am already excited to see what you guys coming up with.
This contest will be for any type of drawing my character as one of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac of Western Astrology:
Aries - Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo - Virgo - Libra - Scorpio - Sagittarius - Capricorn - Aquarius - PiscesYou have to stick to one of the following references for your drawing as it is for the skin-, hair-, eye- and lipcolor.But you are definitely invited to change the hairstyle!I want you to be creative and have as much artistic freedom as possible.
But please keep it fantasy alike.It's up to you to pick ...- portrait, bust, waist up, thighs up or full body
- with or without background
- semi-realistic, pin up, anime/manga, chibi, realistic etc.
- expression and position
- fashion and hairstyles (dont have to be from EPW)
- accessories (like headwear, jewelry, tattoos)
Whatever suits you!Feel free to include any of the elements and symbols which belong to the respective star sign in the drawing aswell.
Rules:You have to keep the human body/appearance of the character. Entries with an animal body and
just a human head will be disqualified. So please make sure the art represents the character properly.
This is a drawing contest and only digital entries are allowed. You can submit only one entry.
All art must be your own (no tracing, stealing, copying, uncredited bases or editing).
You are allowed to change your entry at anytime before the deadline.
Nothing hateful, disrespectful nor gore. Such entries will be disqualified and the posts will be deleted.
You can submit NSFW, but make it tasteful. Nothing vulgar.The prizes will be as following:1st 25000 ec
2nd 20000 ec
3rd 15000 ec
4th 10000 ecDepending on the number of entries there will be also a few honorable mentions.
That means a few people who participated, but who are not awarded with a prize will be given a commendation in form of a smaller amount of ec. I didnt have decided the amount of ec yet. For now I thought about something around 5000 ec each.
There is no participation reward in general.
Judging will be based mainly on the following criteria:Neatness & AccuracyDoes the artwork look finished?
How much effort was put into it?
Does the drawing/character meet the given theme, description and colors?
Originality & CompositionIs the drawing unique?
Has this been done before?
Is it interesting to look at?
