Art-Program Contests

These contests are for those wickedly good users of
art-programs! There will be several contests that will
determine the best Program Artists in different categories!

- [Mr.Scoop]

Please note that this is the main page that will link to the contests that will take place. Scroll down to "Contests" to find a link to the current one. Thank you.

Judges:

- [Mr.Scoop]
- [Silverbullet]

Choosing The Winner:

There will be an overall limit of entries set at twenty (20). From those twenty (20), the judges will pick out a top five (5), and the winner will be decided in a final vote with a poll. To be fair, only one (1) entry per person will be allowed in the final vote.

Rules of all contests:

1. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE MADE FROM SCRATCH. No photographs, no drawings, no photomanipulations, everything must be purely created in an art-program (Photoshop, MsPaint, Gimp, Open Canvas, etc.) And just to make it clear, from scratch means that by using ONLY the tools and special effects your program offers you, you start with a blank page, then work your way up to a masterpiece! Click on the following link for an example: Image Example

2. ENTRIES must be relevant with the theme. The entries must also follow the uploading art rules.

3. NO STEALING ART! Images must be created by Elftowners and posted here by the original artist. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here. This includes random images from the net too. MAKE YOUR OWN DARN IMAGES, DON'T STEAL THEM AND TRY TO CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN! If we find out that you have stolen artwork, we WILL report you.
It can happen an artwork has the same title as another one; this is not against the rules as long as the artists' names are clear.

4. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!. Ask [Sunrose] for wiki-privs if you don't have them already: members who follow the uploading art rules and thus are not troublemakers, will be granted these privs. See advanced help for more information about privs.

5. EACH MEMBER MAY SUBMIT THREE (3) ENTRIES.

6. SUBJECT MATTER: Images that depict graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only images that fit the current theme will be allowed.

Contests:

Landscape Contest (2006)

Suggestions:

We are now open to some suggestions for some themes for the next contest. Post them up in the Suggestions wiki. There will then be a vote to decide which theme the next contest will be based on.

2006-01-31 [Zab]: Who will judge? :P

2006-01-31 [Mr.Scoop]: Me, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand other people I have yet to contact :P

2006-02-01 [Silverbullet]: Aye! Me counts! *punts*

2006-02-01 [Mr.Scoop]: Huh? Wanna be a judge?

2006-02-01 [Silverbullet]: sure... do i get dental?

2006-02-01 [Zab]: Write who will judge here then! :P Write those you know..:P

2006-02-01 [Mr.Scoop]: *points at top of page* ^__________^

2006-02-01 [Zab]: :P

2006-02-01 [Mr.Scoop]: There is now an example ^^

2006-02-02 [iippo]: I'll enter though I'm not wickedly good... But at least I'll get some practice.

2006-02-02 [Mr.Scoop]: Yay! One contestant! *joy* ^___^ Just remember that the actual contest page is Landscape Contest ^^

2006-02-02 [iippo]: But what is the agenda on reference? It's ok to use reference, as long as any part of the image used doesn't end up into the end product (i.e. can look at someone's eye to make a proper eye, no paint-overs or shuss like that)?

2006-02-02 [Mr.Scoop]: Yea of course, you can recreate something, as long as everything in the image that you enter was made from a blank page. Cause wether you're looking at an image to reacreate it or recreating an image you have in your mind, it's the same. As long as everything in the image you enter was created from nothing it's good ^^

2006-02-02 [Mr.Scoop]: It's kinda hard to explain but do you understand what I mean?

2006-02-02 [iippo]: I understand. Just making sure, because I always use reference (either my imagination is that bad or I'm a pro :P) and there have been cases where I enter a contest and people tell me "you copied your picture you poohead!" And I blink and say "you mean this one I used as a reference?" And I assume wide interpretations are accepted as well? I.e. Cityscape, seascape etc... *has to do machines...* O_O
