Christmas-Themed Art Contest

I'm trying to get the concept of contests of the ground, just to see how successful it could be.

Anyway, for those in a Christmas mood, or those who just feel like drawing/painting etc, contribute a Christmas-themed artwork!

I'm not sure yet on who is going to be the judges, but there are to be 3 categories we're gonna judge in.

Colouring, Technique and Originality.

Rules are exactly the same as those of the Art forum and the entire board.

Just remember, they must have some relation to Christmas.

Oh, and I forgot something, the closing date for entries is 25th December, Eastern Australian Standard time. So around the 24th for you US peeps.

As I said in my PM to you, I'm definetly in.

We also don't want to have any biased judges. For instance, if someone likes a certain member over another, then they may vote for them. Perhaps users who don't frequent this board or newer members should be judges.

I am almost never on this board...so...I might be a good choice....also I won't enter because I'm not that good a drawer...but I could be a judge

I want to enter the contest Not as a judge, as a drawer. Well, I'll make up something christmas related. I have several ideas *evil grin*

If I just can enter the contest?

I'm in, if you'll have me.

*flexes artisan fingers*

So, anything as long as its Christmas-y?

i'll enter as a judge, if you still need people. but i'd actually like to take a hand at drawing for this one. though i know i'm not going to get anywhere on whatever picture i try to make... ^^

Ja-ja.

Ta-da.

andi, you shouldn't judge - you should participate. I'd love to see some of your stuff.

this sounds cool.i was thinking of drawing some christmas art to like get into the season.

I gladly volunteer my services as a judge.

Oh, that old stuff. I'm surprised I didn't remember it.

And yes, the way pip is drawn does make him look somewhat greek, what with the high contrast and all.

We're also going to need more participants. We only have about four right now...hopefully people like Kess and sadida can fill that gap.

erm.. i'll participate if u guys like.. the mood is infectious here *squeals*

I'll be a judge if we still need one. I didn't even know there was an art section until today. and anyway my scanners broken so I can send my artwork.

I would enter, but when i do something like on christmas it is either THE WORST THING EVER, or it is brilliant. So i think i will stick to judging, i guarentee i will not be biased, because not many people no who i am anyway, i disapeered for the longest time

i thought but i want to be a judge.

Ok, we're only gonna need 4 judges, I'm gonna be picking them from the voulenteers. But we also need more people to enter!

I'm gonna enter myself, and you judges don't need to see me as almighty or something, just a participant.

Hey, I'll join! I'll have more time to draw too (abit) because school is almost over! (4 more days... *drools*) What I mean by joining is, I'll participate! This'll give me something to draw and keep me occupied...

One cuestion: Are sprite pictures axcepted?

what are sprite pictures?

Sorites are like.. The graphics used in olda games..
All pixelerated and stuff..
Like, look at Sigve's sig..
Those mEgaman people are "sprites"..
My avy and sig are sprites too..

Peefy explained it well, but I can do better. Before we had 3-D graphics, we would use 2-D pictures known as sprites. These are still used, but they aren't nearly as integral right now. The disadvantages with sprites were that you couldn't attain a huge level of detail (though there are some very nice sprites out there, like in Seiken Densetsu 3), and for each time it moved, you would have to essentially draw a new sprite. Now, with 3-D models, we can simply apply a skeleton to the model and use that to move the model, or use motion capture to make the model move.

Hope that answeres your question.
