Welcome to my second competition...the:

PORTRAIT BUDDY COMPETITION
by [allenp]

This is basically an extension of my last Photo Realistic Portrait Contest but takes the opportunity to create even more portraits of the local artists and such here in Elftown. Additionaly, for those who participated in the last comp., it will allow an outlet to apply those skills you improved on or developed in drawing realistic pencil portraits.

Soooo....here's the deal:

1. A minimum of 5 teams of artist pairs (1 male and 1 female) and a maximum of 10 teams. Deadline for artist application is July 6th. On July 7th the competition will begin. The contest will close on August 7th 9PM Pacific Standard Time.

2. Subject matter: The person you pair up with.....is your subject for the portrait :)...so choose wisely :P. Head and shoulder portraits only....so no body or torso shots. THIS MUST BE NEW ART!!! No previously completed work. Please refrain from beginning your work until July 1st!!

3. Entry must, obviously, be your own work and must be illustrated in black and white pencil/graphite. While scans may be evened out using a computer program, so as to more accurately represent the original piece, no other editing or touching is permitted. Realisitically this will be difficult to tell for those who are good at that sort of thing so I am counting on your integrity.

4. The original reference pic must be posted (only 300pixels wide please) by June 31st for both portrait buddys. As the contest progresses...at least one in progress scan (only 300pixels wide as well) of your work must be provided. The finished work may be loaded at 400 pixels wide)

5. And people....dont forget...this is an excercise in realism...so make it so :)

6. This contest will be judged by myself and 3 others (will not be disclosed). A poll will be available and counted as a 5th judge. Each art piece will be evaluated individually and the pair whose peices account for the most points will win. Individual artists will also be recognized for the best portraits at the end of the competition. Scores and scoring will be made available after the winner is announced.

7. Finally!...the prize :P. Well...this time I offer a "Draw Real People" book by the fabulous Lee Hammond for each artist in the pair that takes first place. Second, third and individual placings will be recognized by acknowledgement only.

YAY!!! It has begun....please start posting your originals and in progress pics (only 300 pixels wide please) :).

Thanks :P ,

[allenp]

J1: I like the aggressive use of graphite. Blending and attention to detail and accuracy needs some work. This piece appears to be unfinished.
J2: When looking at the work in progress... I said, "WOW, this is going to be GREAT." Then what happened?!? She has a strong start on the left and then, I suspect from lack of confidence in herself, she totally cops out on the right side of his face. Keep that momentum! It's like two different people did this portrait. I have a lot of faith in this artist. She just needs to carry through on her projects. Patience ;) Also, practice doing hair.
J3: Hair detail is good, but the shading is a tad unbalanced

<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/36975_1088934363.jpg?y=500>

J1: Accuracy is great. Loses a little something in the realism department because of shading technique. More thorough blending would push this piece higher into the rankings.
J2: A very good likeness of his buddy! Good start on the shading, good start on the hair... if only they had kept on going and polished it up. Blend, blend, blend!
J3:Wonderfully realistic rendering and a great attention to details! A little more blending/evening out of pencil strokes would be good though.

Team 2 c. [Luthien Ancalime]

<img:http://img71.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Gundwane/Progress3.jpg?y=200>

J1: The shading is lovely…very well done. The overall accuracy is very good as well. Finish the dog-gone picture!!! Lol…sorry….is just so promising. Some other noticeable things would be the contrast of the teeth…too dark…and some facial lines not penciled in.
J2: This is a realistic portrait, but not a great likeness of his buddy. Had he used a grid to get the size and placement of her features, the shape of her face... he might have contended for second place. He knows how to do hair, demonstrated by what is done. I took not finishing that into a lot of consideration. While I kinda like the unfinished look, it's not what this contest was asking for.
J3: Great realism, would love to see the finished product!

<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/35304_1091832531.jpg?y=350>

J1: I enjoy the aggressive use of graphite…overall accuracy. Eyes are not looking where they are supposed to. Blending needs some attention….it appears far to blotchy…uneven
J2: Really nice job on the shading and she did pretty good with the placement of his features. I noticed the inclusion of the slight tension in his chin. Nice little detail. One complaint is the image size. I think it would have been even more impressive had it been larger *insert smarmy comment here* har har.
J3: Good detail on the shirt and good blending on the face. Face angle is just slightly off.

Team 3 e. [May-lea]
<img:http://elftown.eu/stuff/Malnu_ref.jpg>

<img:http://elftown.eu/stuff/Malnu_Step1.jpg>

<img:http://elftown.eu/stuff/Malnu_Final.jpg>

J1:Very well done. Excellent shading…very subtle making for a very realistic look. Accuracy is very good as well and your pencil marks are clean and precise. Overall cleanliness of the picture could use some work….seeing the corrected ear lines takes a way from an overall superb rendering. The smudges are excessive around the pic. You should really use a template for the iris and pupil.
J2: Outstanding attention to detail - each hair, the crease in his bottom lip, even the maniacal look in his eye. Well done. The outline of the ear could have been blended a little more. As Allen would say, "Kill that line!" Heavier application of graphite wouldn't hurt either. Just keep doing what you're doing as far as the shading, taking it a bit deeper and richer.
J3: Again, good realism - all the details are great, like the beard and mustache.

f. [Malnu]

<img200*0:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/33485_1088792687.jpg>

J1: Accuracy and pencil lines are very nice with this rendering…excellent angle. Blending…there isn’t enough of it nor is their enough shading to blend for that matter. Some skin tone on this one would have gone a long way in the realism department.
J2: I feel like the artist could have gone a bit farther on this one. All the parts are in the right place, but why didn't he bother to shade? It would have given contour to her face, made the image more three dimensional. Had Malnu done this, it would have been an even tougher decision between him and his buddy.
J3: Good job on the hair,facial details, and shirt design!

And for single contributions (only to be judged for the all around best portrait)

Single 1 g. Artist [top gun] subject [Sunrose]
<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/45154_1090325852.jpg>

<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/45154_1090325852.jpg>

<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/45154_1090325051.jpg>

J1: Accuracy and feel of the pic is great. Blending needs some attention….I like the heavy use of graphite/charcoal?....but more thorough blending would have improved this pic.
J2: The individual features are pretty good (though the eye could use a lid) but are all slightly misplaced. The subject is looking down her nose, chin slightly up. The artist has portrayed her looking straight on. The chin is too big and the cheek distorted. Kinda looks like she took a pummeling.
J3: Shading is bit dark and could maybe be evened out a little more, but good work with face proportions, etc.

Single 2 h. Artist [Almerin] subject [Fantasy S.]
<img:http://elftown.eu/img/photo/26665_1090340729.jpg>

<img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/26665_1090341344.jpg>

J1: Accuracy and pencil lines are very good. There is no shading in this picture which makes it difficult to achieve photo realism.
J2: Cute likeness - for a sketch. Not realistic. Unfinished. But very cute for a sketch.
J3: What is there is a great start, but I think some more shading, etc is necessary. The realism is good, you got her facial expression just right.

2004-06-21 [Raevynn14]: no no no thats ahhhh as in suprize and allarm, i mean awwwww

2004-06-22 [allenp]: k ladies....I have an eligible art bachelor for ya.....I present to you [Shadow Hunter X]....try not to pounce :P

2004-06-22 [Leebah]: *prepares to pounce* oh wait.....i'm not in the contest; i couldnt draw a straight line to save my life! sorry! *backs down*

2004-06-22 [allenp]: luckily....there are none to many straight lines required for portraits :P

2004-06-22 [Dil*]: lol.

2004-06-22 [Raevynn14]: ..::gets into pounce mode::.. ... oh wait... i have a buddy ;-P

2004-06-23 [SerenityBug]: I'll take him!!!!

2004-06-23 [hji]: yeah maybe ^_^

2004-06-23 [Sunrose]: *giggles* ...makes me wonder...hehe

2004-06-24 [Lady Ann]: thanks Allen! ...hey guys & gals! I've been gone a day or two, but, gee... thanks for visiting my house! (saw a few of ya on my visitors list) Wish I could join the contest, but I've got zero (actually, make that 'negative') time to draw. I'm a die-hard contest-watcher, though!!!

2004-06-24 [Lady Ann]: hey - [Raevynn14] - was that "ahhh / awww" from George of the Jungle?!? hehehe...

2004-06-25 [bo2]: hehe I see that us guys are being picked out by you girls like picking out shoes;) still I'm looking forward to the competition!:)

2004-06-25 [bo2]: oh and Lady ann, that aww ahh was from monty python. holy grale;) with the castle of aahhhh... (or wasn't it???)

2004-06-26 [Lady Ann]: oh, right right right - someone says, "couldn't it be the castle of Carmiaaaaage?!?" ...funny I didn't think of that. Guess I got my ooohs / awwwws / and aaaaahs mixed up. The "george" scene I was thinking about went like this... Narrator: "And so, onward and upward the tired trekkers trudged on feverished footsies on the perilous paths. When they beheld the mighty Ape Mountain, the reacted with awe." Group: "Aaaawwww." Narrator: "I said "awe." A-W-E." Group: "Ooohhh." Narrator: "That's better." (ok, I'll stop interrupting the wiki with my nonsense... have a great day!)

2004-06-27 [allenp]: because of the periodic outage here at ET....the contest start and end date will be pushed back a minimum of one week. Depending on when the problem is resolved...it may be pushed back further. Stay tuned.

2004-06-28 [hji]: I will be gone on the 7th could I just send it to you so you could upload it?

2004-06-28 [xDyingx Valentinex]: im gonna still be around guys, not an incredible amount though because im moving house. i will have to let you know when i can get back onine later in th emonth.

2004-06-28 [allenp]: That will be fine [hji].

2004-06-29 [allenp]: yep....the contest will now start on July 7th and end on August 7th do to several outages here at ET...this will allow those who werent able to find a partner during this time a little extra wiggle room. After July 7th you may post your original reference pic and subsequent in progress pics.

2004-06-29 [og_ghost]: lol... doesn't the loser need the "draw real people" book? lol

2004-06-29 [allenp]: :P...falls in line with my last prize given in the Photo Realistic Portrait Contest....after all....why would the winner need a portrait as a prize? :)

2004-06-29 [Sunrose]: coz u would still be better than the winner?

2004-06-29 [allenp]: umm...thats not how I meant that : /

2004-06-29 [Sunrose]: how did u mean it then...

2004-06-30 [allenp]: most people who win a portrait contest are generally not in need of their portrait being done by another artist:P

2004-06-30 [SerenityBug]: i wouldnt mind it

2004-06-30 [Sunrose]: so then my point was right after all....just like [SerenityBug] said....aportrait by you would still be better! lol

2004-06-30 [allenp]: c'mon folks....[A.W.O.L] still needs a partner.....any help?

2004-06-30 [Perplexity]: *wonders where all the menfolk are*

2004-06-30 [Perplexity]: What about [Tumulty]??

2004-06-30 [allenp]: awsome choice...thanks for the tip [Perplexity]....hopefully she pops her head back in soon :)

2004-06-30 [allenp]: I feel pretty confident, based on my last contest, that some teams will drop...so if you know any other artists out there who are interested in participating encourage them to message me

2004-06-30 [Perplexity]: No problem, Allen! Glad he took the challenge =) I'll let you know if I come across any other willing victims... uh, participants *grin*

2004-06-30 [KimoN]: Hey guys, would really like to join this comp, if theres any gals out there who wants to morph together into an elite pencil fighting machine, just message meh! :))

2004-06-30 [Perplexity]: Trust me, this guy's got a big pencil, and he knows how to use it, ladies. *chuckle*

2004-06-30 [Sunrose]: well there's only one lady left n they are tryin to fix her up with [Tumulty], but [allenp] wants guys to message him to be sure he will have enough teams (coz some may drop out)

2004-07-01 [Lady Ann]: I know of a couple girls [KimoN] might be interested in (i'll test the waters with 'em)... sure wish I had time to join!

2004-07-01 [Sunrose]: yeah but the maximum is 10 teams..., oh I see that has become 11 now...

2004-07-01 [Perplexity]: Sunrose, I think Allen is just expecting one or two teams to back out, so why not have some back ups just in case.

2004-07-01 [KimoN]: Ok kewl ill try to hunt down and capture a partner by tomorro night. Made a few offers to ppl, i hope they answer soon!!!

2004-07-01 [allenp]: fascinating.....isn't it :P

2004-07-01 [Sunrose]: very

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: But I don't know too many women with chests as hairy as mine, lol.

2004-07-01 [Perplexity]: um....ew. *grin*

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: As far as I know, breast stubble isn't sexy.

2004-07-01 [KimoN]: A lot of girls have an undying facination with my hairy nipples.....

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: How come every conversation I'm in, I end up talking about breasts??? Damn breast fetish!!!!

2004-07-01 [Perplexity]: I'm telling you, Allen - make the exception and let these two freaks team up *lol*

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: No thanks, I want a lady partner.

2004-07-01 [Perplexity]: *imagines a Mona Lisa-esque portrait of Tumulty* yknow...that IS just wrong. =S

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: Mona Lisa didn't have a goatee did she??? At least one we could see that is.....

2004-07-01 [Sunrose]: oooh!

2004-07-01 [Tumulty]: And you're right [xDyingx Valentinex], I do like cleavage.

2004-07-02 [Tumulty]: My hair is down to the middle of my back [xDyingx Valentinex]. Most of the women here in the midwest don't like big muscular guys with long hair. What the hell has this world come too??!!!

2004-07-02 [xDyingx Valentinex]: aww allen your hot you know that! i just prefer my men with something to hold onto ;) must be us british gals dear that like it!

2004-07-02 [Tumulty]: Just don't grab me by the ears, I won't be able to breathe.

2004-07-02 [Perplexity]: Breathe outta your ears? What planet are YOU from?

2004-07-02 [Tumulty]: I have to when I have my face planted somewhere....

2004-07-02 [Perplexity]: Ooooh *giggle* I gotcha. =9

2004-07-02 [Tumulty]: Next time, I'll invite everyone into the gutter with me before I make a comment.

2004-07-02 [Perplexity]: I've got a summer house there.

2004-07-02 [xDyingx Valentinex]: lmao i really have no answer for that one, but i hear the parties are great there

2004-07-02 [Malnu]: "Please refrain from beginning your work until July 1st" **points up** it's in your rules Allen. I didn't start it until the 1st. I just happened to finish it same day. That's what I get for working on it until it was finished.

2004-07-02 [allenp]: damn those rules....who's in charge here anyway :P...its all good man...I just didnt clean house very well when changing the date.

2004-07-02 [Malnu]: Plexy... I have a song you need to hear then. <URL:stuff/breathe_ears.mp3>

2004-07-02 [Malnu]: All good Allen. I'll let you see the one I've worked on thus far. I'll work on the other one as well, and see which one May-lea prefers.

2004-07-03 [SerenityBug]: hmm, wonder if my partner is ever gonna get a pic up? *sets and ponders that for a bit....*

2004-07-03 [Perplexity]: You dont know what your partner looks like, Scarlet?

2004-07-03 [SerenityBug]: nope

2004-07-03 [xDyingx Valentinex]: same as! wheres yer pic wizard!

2004-07-03 [SerenityBug]: my partner is never on.... can I tell him to forget it?

2004-07-03 [allenp]: it makes me no never mind....it's between the two of you....let me know and I will change the team if neccessary :)

2004-07-03 [SerenityBug]: well he didnt do anything, hes just never on im getting doubtful that this will work out... ill see if i can talk to him...

2004-07-03 [Perplexity]: Take KimoN! *grin*

2004-07-04 [SerenityBug]: I think he forgot about the contest... I give up on him...

2004-07-04 [A.W.O.L]: Heya!

2004-07-04 [bo2]: My buddy isn't responding anymore either... oh well.. perhaps she will again when the competition starts..

2004-07-04 [hji]: you all have a nice month.. I go on vacation to Austria monday and I will come back at the 28th of july.. so have a nice time ^_^ and goodluck with the contest!

2004-07-04 [Relfrome]: Thanks WindEagle! I hope you will have a very nice time in Austria ^__^

2004-07-04 [hji]: I will ^__^ it would be great! I will climb on a mountain of 3435meters high and I would spend a week in snow and ice and sleep in a mountain hut on 2972 meters high.. yeah it would be nice ^_^ thanks :P

2004-07-04 [SerenityBug]: *mouth drops* wow... I cant even go camping in a public camping ground 3 miles from my house for 3 days(yes.. there IS a story behind it) WindEagle you have definatley gone up a few ranks in respect...

2004-07-04 [SerenityBug]: Hey Allen, I'm going to go ahead and delete my partners name and find a new one.

2004-07-04 [SerenityBug]: That ok?

2004-07-04 [hji]: thanks [SerenityBug] ^_^ I always walk in the mountains in my summer holiday's.. I love the naturel.. I do that now for about 12 years.. its fun :P

2004-07-04 [SerenityBug]: Ever been to ohio? I live in the best part of it (I live in between ash cave and Old mans cave) , but lots of tourists come down and pretend real people dont live here and drive really slooow

2004-07-05 [allenp]: thats fine [SerenityBug]

2004-07-05 [Raevynn14]: whew, just got back from vacation and im tried as heck, nice to see that elftown is Up!

2004-07-05 [KimoN]: The deadline is july 6th. Does that mean we can apply for the comp on the 6th, or do we have to do it on the 5th?

2004-07-05 [allenp]: 6th is fine

2004-07-06 [May-lea]: Er, I've done some work already. I'll rework it because so far it's not an exact copy of the picture, and looks like an exact copy is what you're looking for. I hope what I've done so far can be considered as a stage in the process. I took several pictures of the progress of my work, but they are not scans, so the quality is less good. At least you see on them how I've already rew<orked the proportions a whole lot. If required, I'll upload one or two of them... As for the reference pic, I got it only two days ago, so I couldn't give it before... >_> And it's not 300 pixel wide, because I didn't draw the whole pic for the portrait. I let you judge of all that....

2004-07-07 [Raevynn14]: when will this be due? I had no idea that my work for this summer would keep me so busy... Im working in LA with an art restoration company, im living in the studio and we get started in the morning and dont finish untill the late hours of the night SO im not sure if im going to be able to do this project at all :( BUT i dont want to pull out quite yet!
