DESIGN A POKEMON CONTEST!
Staring Date: February 16th, 2009
End date: March 30th, 2009
Details:
Ok, so I have decided to hold a contest that I am actually going to keep going. My past contests well, have bit the dust because people never entered them, or never put up their entries.
This is a new one, and I'm sure it's not anything 'original' or 'incredibly creative' but I thought it was a neat idea
What to do:
First and foremost, ONLY ENTER THIS CONTEST IF YOU ARE POSITIVE YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT. DO NOT ENTER IF YOU THINK YOU AREN'T GOING TO ABLE TO MAKE THE END DATE.
The object of this contest is to design a Pokemon, plain a simple. It can be any type, and any color. It's your choice.
You can use an existing animal for your base (dog, cat, snake, koala bear, ect.) or you can used and existing element/season (wind, water, fire, ect./Winter,spring, summer, fall) to design around.
NAMES MUST BE ORIGINAL! (Evolutions of other existing Pokemon may have names similar to the originals, but they MUST BE DIFFERENT.)
It'll also help to write out::
-Type:
-Height:
-Weight:
-Attacks:
-Evolves to/Evolved from: (Write this only if your character evolves, or has evolved from another Pokemon)
*Any other information you'd like to write out is fine as well
Digital and traditional mediums are accepted, go wild!
WHAT NOT TO DO:
-Do NOT photomanip.
-Do NOT simply take an existing line art and add a few do-dads and color. (If you don't think you'll be able to draw what you want, then don't enter.)
-Do NOT use a picture of an already existing Pokemon and just change the colors of add a few things. (that's cheating/stealing, and if you do it, you'll be disqualified)
- Do NOT copy other people's ideas.
-No recycling pictures please. (meaning do not take a picture/character you already have done from the past, and try to enter it. ideas please )
What's allowed:
-You may make a fan based evolution of an existing Pokemon, but make it different enough so that it's not exactly like the original design. (If you do this, please put a link to a picture of the original Pokemon you 'evolved' in the artist's comments)
-If you see an entry that someone uploaded already, and you wish to make an evolved form, ask the original artist and if they say yes, you can do it. BUT! Make sure you put a link to the original Pokemon done by the original artist.
-Your Pokemon doesn't have to be all cute and fluffish, it can be mean and snarly. Heck there can be a bit of blood if you want, but please... keep it tasteful. Nothing that would make a nun pee her pants please.
-You may also draw a ref-sheet for your Pokemon, which can include all it's stages of evolution (as many as you feel like drawing) Don't be afraid to spam the heck out of a ref sheet either. The more info, the better ^_^
- Don't be afraid to draw your Pokemon in your own style. You don't have to draw the usual Pokemon style if you don't want to. You can make it realistic, cartoony, or any other style you'd like Details are fine; in fact, they are more than welcome
BE CREATIVE! Try to think of things haven't been done before. I know there's TONS of existing OFFCIAL Pokemon that cover almost everything a person could think of, but there are things that haven't been done.
Important!!
This is a contest based on creativity, not the level of an artist's abilities. You will NOT be judged on how well your picture is drawn alone.
If you put extra effort into your drawing/character, it'll help your chances, but it's not what you're going to be judged on alone.
When you have your entry done, upload it to DA, and then send a link to it in a note.
Judging will be done by 6 different people; 6 different views on Pokemon, so it's not just going to be me picking the winners.
You do NOT have to go all out, even though it will be shined upon if you put effort into your character/entry.
PRIZES!!
1st PRIZE::: A multiple character (8 character limit please ) picture with a full background of winner's choice. (Digitally, OR traditionally done)
Also, one free request that you can choose to use at anytime. (Meaning the winner will be given a request inquiry that they can use at anytime in the future for me to draw whatever they want, whenever they want. Only ONE though )
2nd PRIZE::: A dual (two limit) character picture with a rough background of the winner's choice. (Digitally or Traditionally done)
3rd PRIZE::: A single character drawing with a minor background of the winner's choice (Digitally or Traditionally done)
Honorable Mention::: A simple non-shaded picture with no background of the character of their choice (Traditional only)
If you wish to enter, please comment here, and I will put you on the list
