[CONTEST] Win a Wacom tablet!!! + no more arts
16 years ago
Thats right I'm holding a contest, in which the Prize will be a Wacom bamboo 4x6 Pen Tablet. No strings attached, how can you do this you say well its very simple...
The tablet is my own used it for a little over half a year and it was what finally took my art from plain dodge and burn colourings in Photoshop to what you see today so as you can imagine it has some sentimental value to me. However, as of the past Christmas holiday I was fortunate to receive an new tablet a few sizes up from the previous. So my older one is essentially gathering dust in the box.
I thought about selling it on amazon or ebay, but I really did want some human getting there hands on my beloved only to draw naked humans and such hehe. The tablet itself is slightly used but I still have the original box, CD, instruction booklet, pen, cables etc. And it is still in Grade A working condition.
SO TO THE CONTEST!!
too many times do I browse VCL even DA some times only find the same stagnant Furry Art depicting a simple species standing there lookin furry with no other reason other than lookin fluffy.
So the contest will be as simple as I can explain it.
the following guidelines for entry will be...
A Dynamically coloured picture
Monochrome style colouring
Intense colour contrasts or black and whites
Pictures in which the Mood of the character syncs with the colours
Various colour harmonies (ie: red and green, puple and yellow)
dynamic backgrounds or abstracts
Above all the picture must show at least some level of emotion, whether it be dark bright or neutral
(FYI: the picture does not have to contain all different styles listed above, at the least just one with the exception of the last guideline)
If any partical style or type is unknown feel free to search it on wikipedia or any other art site below are a few examples of some of the different styles
you can visit my journal on DA to view the examples here http://fafnirmccloud.deviantart.com/journal/
Also feel free to vote upon whether you plan on entering or not so I can extend the contest or cancel (you must be logged in to DA to vote)
the contest will be held for approximately 5 months however if the need arises I will extend to contest to the need of the applicants, the contest itself is open to anyone, from any nation (I will handle all shipping costs). Both digital and traditional pictures are accepted and of course the one common subject must be an anthro character or characters.
It might sound somewhat demanding if you are unfamiliar with the styles and such but all considered its a FREE Wacom Tablet! one that when I purchased it ran me for $135 USD. And if you wondering there will be a second place, in which the winner will have to option to get either a standard bonework necklace custom made, or a simple comission from myself
As of now the contest date is set to end by October and I look forward to seeing the Deviations. Good hunting everyone!
Comments and Favs
I need to take this second to apologize to some of my recent watchers and other artists whos have faved my work. I dont have as much time on my hands as I'd like between Work, current art, and with trying to start a business and such.
I do my best to respond to the watches and comments but between managing three art accounts on various sites it does get somewhat difficult. All in all I might not always have to time to give proper thanx but rest assured I am not going to turn into one of those snobby artist that dont respond and lock down there art and get uptight about who puts it on sites like fchan and ychan, ANYways before I ramble I just wanted to put out a big thanx to the Furry community here for all the watches and support!
INACTIVITY
Unfortunately at 10:34 a.m 6/6/09 my laptop DIED! power ceased to flow through her multitude of circuits for an unknown reason. All issues were checked (being pc savvy) but to no avail, so until I can purchase another which will likely not be for another month My art gallery will be completely inactive. Being a digital artist and having your pc die is the equivalent of running out of paint and haveing to walk 100 miles and pay 1000 gold coins for more.
I will still be active here to check messages notes and comments (including contest submissions) but you cant really expect more than that from me right now, hope to be back again soon producing some more beautiful art for this great community,
Special Note - The wacom tablet contest is running between Furraffinty and Deviant art so there will of course be only ONE 1st & 2nd place winner for both site as I only have one wacom to give, just wave a note my way as to the link of your contest submission as your entry, perhaps a line or two as to what its about and your in. Look forward to seein all of ya'lls Great art
