ART CONTEST!
16 years ago
Alright folks, here's the deal:
I've got a spare laptop. It's a gateway CX200X convertible tablet-laptop. It's about 3 years old now, but it runs just fine. (Please see below for the tech specs on the lappy!)
Since it's spare, I'm aiming to ditch it. And since selling a 3-year-old laptop seems a bit silly, I've decided to ego-art-contest it to see what happens :).
I will include a Crumpler laptop bag ($100 value!) that I've used with the laptop.
THE RULES
By entering, you are agreeing to the following rules:
1.) THE CONTEST ENDS AT 12:01 AM, July 6th, 2009 (A MONTH FROM THE DATE OF THE POST)! This date may change depending on interest!
2.) ALL ENTRIES MUST BE POINTED OUT VIA EMAIL TO BROKENWINGX9 ON GMAIL TO COUNT. Preferably these would be sent to my FA notes as well, just in case!
3.) All entries must include my character (Brokenwing) as a central point of interest, but may include as many other characters as you like!
4.) Entries may be adult, clean or everything in between.
5.) Anyone may enter as many times as they'd like but the number of entries has no bearing on their chance of winning.
6.) There is only one prize, so ABSOLUTELY NO WHINING/COMPLAINING/BEMOANING/CRYING/LITIGATION if you don't win. Sorry, but that's how it is. If you did some amazing quality work that would typically sell for quite a bit, I thank you whole-heartedly but the winner is the winner. I'm obviously not able to reimburse all entrants for their entries and so no such reimbursement shall be afforded.
7.) The winner will be determined by the best single piece of art as judged by the criteria below. I will be posting the top 3 (maybe 5?) folks and their scores accordingly, but if you're curious about your individual score and any comments I made you may note me AFTER the contest has ended.
8.) The contest requires, at minimum, 20 separate individuals to enter. That means no matter how many art pieces received, if 20 separate people don't enter the contest, the contest will be called a draw and no winner shall be named. In such a case, again, no reimbursement will be made for the entries.
9.) The laptop will be shipped to any country I am able to ship it to. That is, if the US has an embargo on a particular country I will obviously be unable to send the laptop. In the case that the winner is in such a country, the laptop will fall to the second place individual and so fourth.
10.) I will pay shipping costs (so long as they do not exceed the value of the laptop), but the winner must incur any import tariffs. I don't know these up front and I would prefer not to care. With luck, this will not be an issue!
11.) I reserve the right to post ANY and ALL entries I chose to my FA account! That said, I will be polite about it, so if you'd prefer I not post one feel free to say as much!
THE JUDGING
The entries will be judged based on the following criteria:
1.) Uniqueness/Originality/Creativity - This should be self-explanatory. If you come up with something nobody else comes up with, it will earn you points.
2.) Overall Quality of Art - My judgment on the quality of the art itself.
3.) Effort - How good is the art relative to your typical art.
4.) Awesomeness - This is obviously a very subjective topic. Effectively it amounts to how enthralled I am by the piece of art. For adult pieces, this can mean how easily I spring a boner; for clean pieces this can mean how much I appreciate the art or the topic.
5.)Accuracy of the character - I have quite a bit of leeway in how I think broken should look, but see below for the must-not-miss elements of an appropriate entry!
Each of these is given a 1-10 grading scale (1 being low, 10 being high). The final grade is a summation of these values; the values themselves will include any additional weighting I feel is necessary.
THE CHARACTER
Brokenwing can be a bit tricky to get correct. These are the most important elements of his character in my view.
1.) Forescaled shaft: NOT a sheath! This hangs down off of her bellyscales very similar to how a human's uncut shaft looks, only scaled. Length is 18" hard, 14-16" soft. Includes a scaled ballsac.
2.) Blue fin things. Start at the head, run all the way down the back to the tail.
3.) Ear fins: Two pronged with a membrane between. Variations on this are allowed, though!
4.) Horns: Short and stubby.
5.) Tail: Short, stubby and curled upwards. The spade is thick and rounded, a bit like a penis. In point of fact, it CAN orgasm. The spade, however, sometimes does not appear and this is acceptable.
6.) Eyes: Blue to match the fin-things.
7.) Wings: Usually small and cute. Occasionally these have 2 wing-fingers, occasionally just one. Either is fine.
8.) Paws: Feet have three clawed toes. Hands are 3 fingers and a thumb (total 4 claws). Soles of feet are scaled!
9.) Tongue (if present): Long and thick. Extends up to 2.5 ft.
10.) Sex: BW is Shemale by default these days - Boobs + Penis, but no femparts. This means shemale is preferred but is NOT a necessity.
11.) Tailhole: Soft and loose is preferred!
12.) Overall body shape: Very similar to
kitora's dragons, but regardless of how you approach it, chubby and soft!
THE PRIZE
Technical Specifications on the Laptop:
Screen: 14" 1280x768 pixel pen-based tablet screen. Supports pressure sensitivity, but is NOT Wacom and so is NOT supported in oC and Painter. I believe it IS supported by Photoshop CS4 and know it IS supported by Sketchpad Pro and ArtRage.
Video: ATI Radeon X600 SE Mobility. This is sufficient to play Half-Life 2 and likely TF2.
Processor: Pentium M 1.73 GHz
RAM (Memory): 1 GB (I believe this can be upgraded still...)
Hard Drive: 80 GB
DVD: DVD+-RW, don't know the speed.
Wireless: Intel 802.11b/g
Battery: Extended. Lasts ~5-6 hours, but is a little heavy.
Input: 3x USB, 1x 10/100 network, 1x Cardbus, 1x SD card
Warranty: None, I'm afraid. It is 3 years old after all! That said, it's currently quite functional and I will package it as well as I am able.
Operating System: Your preference. I can load XP tablet edition, Win7 or Linux on it. I believe Win7 will have the best support in all honesty.
Estimated Value: ~$500.
Pics will be provided on request!
Suggestions!
1.) I LOVE new things! If you have a particular kink that you're afraid nobody else shares, please, by all means include me! If you have one that you love above all else, put your passion into it! The best art is made when you're enjoying yourself!
2.) If you're having trouble coming up with an idea, feel free take a look through my gallery to get a feel for the sorts of things I usually commission.
3.) If none of those are feeling right, here's a list of just a smidgen of the (sexual) stuff I would love to see (in no particular order):
Anal stretching (including Fisting and Looseness)
Anal vore and Unbirthing
Piercing
Feminine clothing (includes cross-dressing).
Rimming
Ageplay (including Hatchling)
AB/DL
Incest
Watersports
Inflation (including Fattening and Stuffing)
Latex
Bondage (showing off gear or being tied up)
Toys
Plushophilia
Transgender (all types and including gender-shifting)
Transformation
Multi-phalia
Multiple-limbs
Voraphilia
Foreskin
Feet
Tongues
Continuous Orgasm
Mad Science
Taurs
Slime (Wet and Messy)
C&BT
Exhibitionism
4.) If all else fails, PLEASE feel free to ask me for ideas :D!
Good luck to all participants! It starts now!

Hehe x3 I'll think on it :]
NO ONE WINS
Tojo is in the contest
all hope is lost
contests dont seem like something he would be into xD
so much to do for ac, but rrrgh
i just might think you could give me a chr details note to keep me from forgetting this?
...
*sighs* Well I'm not much of a Pron maker, but I'll bite. :) If anything I need more subject matter to draw, and the tablet is inspiring! Heh.
So how many solid entries do you have? And do the entries count as individual pieces, or persons? IE. do you need 20 people or 20 submissions?
But no solid entries as of yet :).
will adult pieces earn bonus points over clean pieces? Everyone loves to "spring a boner", but not everyone likes to simply admire something "awesome" just for the sake of it being "awesome".
Just curious, thanks.
I only have the basics filled out, but that should be enough to check and see if you like it..
Also, maybe you can confirm if this can be a writen story, or does it have to be art? b/c I"m torn between the two x.x
And feel free to send me a note or whatnot.
kk, just a sec and I"ll upload and note ^^
I'll have to see how school treats me...
*watches you in the meantime*
Wow, BW. That's just really uh...yeah.
I mean, the idea was if I got zilch response I'd be able to call it.
