Wing Design Contest begins!

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 2:24 PM


Aquatine




Here are the official rules to my first and probably my last contest! Your task? Design a unique set of wings for Vexorum.

Guidelines:

You will be designing the form and markings of Vexorum's wings. You may submit an entry with just lineart 'skeleton', but bonus points will definitely be rewarded for coloured entries.

Vex's wings should be unique and striking. He's one-of-a-kind on Aquatine, and he is incredibly vain. Give him wings to be proud of! They may be as elaborate as you wish. Feathers are allowed, but only as decoration - not as simple bird wings. They don't have to look functional, but I'd prefer something large enough relative to his body to at least imply flight capability.

Here are the base colours to use (right click and save):


I discourage adding any extra colours, but it's not totally prohibited. If you find a great design and you want to add more colours, it will not necessarily count against you.

Judging: Judging will be done solely by me. I will not judge based on drawing skill but DESIGN. The more unique and fitting to the character your design is, the more likely you will win. People of all skills are encouraged to join. Imagination required :)

DEADLINE: The deadline is June 30.

The Prizes: Prizes may be modified depending on the amount of entries and if any more prizes are donated or thought up :D If you want to donate *any* kind of prize, it would be hugely appreciated. The more participants, the merrier! So send me a note if you're interested in donating anything, or have any ideas for ';participation prizes'. And feel free to advertise! :D

First place: Your entry will become the permanent design for Vex's wings. You will be credited every time I use them in a picture or story. In addition, you will receive a one month subscription and ONE of the following (of your choice):

- A full-colour shaded digital drawing with my usual style of background or traditional drawing with simple/no background by me
- A digital shaded drawing with simple colour bg by =Ereshkigal234

Second place: (Choose)

- A colour digital drawing with simple shading and no background by me
- A colour digital cell shade drawing by =Ereshkigal234

Third place:

- Digital lineart of your OC by me

To be decided (I need more time to plot out the prizes, so this will change ^^; ) :

- A digital colour piece by :icontaesospiritdragon: (huge thanks!)

All entries, however many there are, will be featured on my front page for the duration of the contest, and I'll make a winner's journal when the contest is over.


-----:heart: If you have any more questions about the character or the rules, feel free to ask :heart: --------

Hey thar
Thanks a ton for the watch.
After a quick jaunt through your gallery I've decided that you're too good to pass up. Consider me another watcher.

And I'll see if I can find some time to give your contest a shot. Seems like a neat one.

Nope... just paste the thumb code anywhere in your journal... no other code needed! Unless the picture is not on DA... then you use the regular image code, but the picture will be larger.

Ohhhh!!! When you look at any picture on DA, to the right of the artist comments there is a little column. There you can copy a code that looks something like : thumb85287365 : (without spaces) . Just paste that into your journal and there you go :D

I just spent my lunchbreak perusing your gallery and I've just got to say it's all fantastic. I can only hope that Pendulus will be so deep and complex in 15 years time. You have some really awe-inspiring stuff, and not just your own world, but a whole galaxy :O

Great! I'll keep sticking bits and bobs up from time to time, though I'm limiting it a lot. I've got to be cautious about copyright since I intend to publish sometime in the far distant future.

Thanks for your support :D
