Ambiguous contest


This is an art competition run by [Veltzeh].

Theme: epicines!
Epicine: a being that is not unambiguously a female or male. Synonyms: intersex, gynandromorph, androgyne, hermaphrodite, manwoman. Or alternatively genderless, sexless or neuter.


Rules:

Theme:
– Obey the theme. I want to see ambiguously gendered humanoids! Check here for ambiguous examples!
– Ambiguity here means ambiguity with respect to physical gender, not sexual preference or anything like that. "Bishies" or "butches" probably aren't okay, since even if the character is physically ambiguous, it just isn't the same if it really is "just a man/woman". If you're uncertain, by all means, ask.
– No porn for the contest. I don't mind nudity, but to ensure that the contest stays tasteful with a theme like this, any pieces with scantly clad people have to be preapproved by me. No "dickgirls" or hypersexed people.

General:
– Obey the uploading art rules.
– No copied, partly copied, traced or freehand-copied images whatsoever are allowed. Violators will be keelhauled.
– Fan art is accepted but not encouraged. Source must be cited.

Technical:
– Maximum dimensions: 1200 by 1000 pixels, but resize is recommended.
– All artforms accepted, except for photos or photomanipulations of people (background photo or photo of a scuplture or drawing is fine). Animations are fine by me if someone wants to do one.
– Maximum of three entries per person.
– Deadline: 20 entries. Subject to change.
– Entry format:
     #) [username]: Entry name (optional). Comments.
     <img:url of picture> (Resize to max width and height of 500 pixels for the contest page. Under the link the original can be as big as the maximum dimensions.)


Who's the winner?

I'll pick one or more pictures as winners myself. I'll be taking into account the theme, skill and effort. The medium of the picture does not matter for I have ruled out the only medium I don't like (photos). As for style, I openly admit that since anime/manga style is overused, I'm a bit tired of it, but I will be fair.

I'm also planning on making a poll for the public's favorite, but if many people don't want that, I won't do it. This isn't a popularity contest. Let me know in the comments what you think.


What's the prize?

My favorite(s) will get a drawing of choice from me as well as a some sort of badge. Public's favorite will get a drawing and badge, too. Of course it depends on whether people want badges. I can also do something else than a drawing, just let me know.

Participants can have fun with the participant badge if they want one.

1) [Purple Artichoke] I'm not really sure what the elf is gender wise, but i think Cyril (the elf's name) is more of just a symbol in my story.

2) [Yuriona] Drawn for the Council Portrait Gallery Donations of Council member [Yncke] who had no gender preference. I tried to make ey as androginous as possible for me to do. :)

A complex & self-absorbed representative of the original sin, Pride. Unfinished, a later or different version may replace this one.

5) [NOOOPE]
Amaliel. A modified being grown in a lab. It was a set of 12 meant to look like angels. Amaliel turned out, well, different, but that's a story fro later

2006-05-29 [Adaman]: Pfft, never. You can ask Dur, I earned most of the drawings that he's done for me. Besides I was thinking I could hit two birds with one stone and enter Hauteur into this contest.

2006-05-29 [Veltzeh]: I'm mostly the same way actually... but maybe it's just because I don't really get offers. But heck, if you do Hauteur, I'll be happy.

2006-05-30 [The Past]: Trust you to do an ambiguous contest Zeh =P

2006-05-30 [Blood Raven]: yeah, it's typical :P

2006-05-30 [Veltzeh]: I should hold one at least once a year. If anyone enters, that is -_-

2006-05-30 [Duredhel]: Hahah XD I was thinking of submitting the Tylien drawing for this, kill two birds with one stone.

2006-05-30 [Veltzeh]: :P The point wasn't exactly to get pictures of my own characters but it's not like I'd have a good reason to disqualify them... Besides they make me happy in other ways X)

2006-05-31 [Blood Raven]: I was thinking of joining. Today's my last exam, so I should have alot of spare time on my hands now ^^

2006-05-31 [Veltzeh]: Yes! Join! Resistance is futile.

2006-06-02 [Stephen]: Hmmm... I'll put this in my mood. :P

2006-06-12 [NOOOPE]: WOO! 1!!!

2006-06-13 [Veltzeh]: :D But is it an androgyne?

2006-06-13 [NOOOPE]: Nope, he's quite male down there and all around. His mom has the blood of an ancient really beautiful race and well, his genes picked up on it. Plus this is an anime style.. tends to make everyone a bit more ambiguous! He acts somewhat feminine alot but if you confront him with it he'll get very offended.

2006-06-13 [Veltzeh]: Dang... unfortunately the theme is epicines, not feminine-looking men :/

2006-06-13 [NOOOPE]: wha? Oh. I skimmed that... just saw ambiguous and flew with it. Come Naqada! Sorry by the way!

2006-06-13 [Veltzeh]: No problem :)

2006-06-22 [Purple Artichoke]: sorry its SO big, it is under the limit though

2006-06-22 [someelf]: I really want to join this *_*

2006-06-22 [Veltzeh]: Then draw and join! :)

2006-06-22 [someelf]: I will ;) *Grins* I will :D

2006-06-22 [Nita]: I've been trying for a while, and I've concluded that I just suck at painting :P
