I'm holding an art contest!
13 years ago
General
Hello everyone! I don't think I've ever held a personal character art contest, and it seems like it might be fun. As a heads up, the prizes are meant for Furcadia players, but there are alternatives if you don't want them. However, please discuss the alternative prizes with me before the deadline. You'll be drawing...
Categories:
I'm looking for any kind of visual art depicting Heimdall. Full-body character illustrations of any kind are the best! Digital and traditional are both great. Ports are okay too, as are pixel tags and anything else you can think of. Color is favored (the character is pretty simple), and backgrounds or other details like props would also be great. All images will be judged together.
If you want to do a remapping port, keep in mind my character is pretty simple. Keep most of it fur-colored (scales, spikes, horns, etc.) but with nonremapping gold teeth, badge-colored or nonremappable gems, and eye-colored eyes.
Criteria:
Accuracy! Heimdall may just be a big black dragon, but there are some particulars about it, like its build, teeth, and so forth. Some things like the exact spikes and gem placement are pretty flexible.
Image size! I prefer full-body images, or at least images that show more than just the head. I have a lot of portrait-type pics already!
Cool poses! Try something new. Different expressions and poses are awesome.
Prizes:
Lifers available: angel cat, noble hyooman, kiwi, chinchilla, flooki, floof
First place:
First pick of lifers
Second pick of lifers
50 GD
Second place:
Third pick of lifers
30 GD
Consolation prize: Anyone who enters but doesn't win will get 5 GD and a red, yellow, or purple rosebud (your choice)!
Heads up! I am offering alternative prizes for first and second place if you don't want the Furcadia items. These prizes will consist of character art, paintings, and/or leather gear like collars and cuffs. However, due to the personal nature of these prizes, you'll have to discuss them with me sometime before the deadline, otherwise it's assumed you're just trying for the Furcadia items. So if you're interested in the alternatives, just drop me a note.
Reselling:
I plan on keeping all the submitted images since I'm giving out consolation prizes to everyone who enters. I might be okay with ports being edited and resold in lieu of the consolation prize, but I'd really prefer not.

Heimdall
big black Viking dragon
Heimdall is a large and muscular feral dragon that is covered in thick scales and spikes. It is colored cold black, and its hide is dull and matte, not shiny at all. It has scars everywhere. It is both sexless and genderless. It has a stout build and is all around chunky. It has a pair of huge ram's horns and a club at the end of its tail. Its teeth stick out at odd angles and are the color of pure gold.

Deadline is February 22nd, 2013!
Please be considerate if I push the deadline back. It'll be no more than a couple months, and only in order to garnish some extra attention. I would be happy to verify with you that I do in fact have these items to give!
