DESIGN A POKEMON CONTEST!

Staring Date: February 16th, 2009
End date: March 30th, 2009


:star:Details::star:
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 :)

:bulletyellow:What to do::bulletyellow:
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! :D




:bulletred::bulletred:WHAT NOT TO DO::bulletred::bulletred:

-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. :new: ideas please ^^; )




:bulletgreen:What's allowed::bulletgreen:
-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.

:new: -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 ^_^

:new: - 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 :D




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.

:bulletred:Important!!:bulletred:
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. :nod:
You do NOT have to go all out, even though it will be shined upon if you put effort into your character/entry.




:star::bulletyellow:PRIZES!!:bulletyellow::star:

:star: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 ^^; )

:star:2nd PRIZE::: A dual (two limit) character picture with a rough background of the winner's choice. (Digitally or Traditionally done)

:star:3rd PRIZE::: A single character drawing with a minor background of the winner's choice :) (Digitally or Traditionally done)

:star: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 :)

Well, I broke down and got AVG, because a couple people said it works like a charm, so I'm trying it out.
The internet is still not working properly, although I was able to get a signal strong enough for a while in the living room.
Although I did discover that I get another decent signal in the weirdest place ever....
=/
Yeah, if you didn't guess, it's the bathroom/powder room. I was walking all over the house trying to find some kind of signal just to make sure it was my computer and NOT the signal/network, and well, though I still think it is my computer, I DID get a decent signal in the damned bathroom.
I don't know about you, but I'm not going to sit in the bathtub and check my DA every day. For one, it's uncomfortable, and for two, my parents already think they have the weirdest daughter on the face of the planet XD

I still have a new network card on it's way, and my brother (who builds computers) is going to be nice and install it for me (since I refuse to send it into the computer company for them to do it in fear I might not get my computer back, OR it'll come back in worse shape than when it left.)
Hopefully with a new card, this computer won't have such an issue connecting to a network.

A couple people may be wondering what the big deal is if I use 'free' networks, after all, they ARE other people's networks.
Well, that's not the entire case here.
I have gone to coffee shops/cafes, and even with those official networks, this computer still drops those signals. :(

I bet you're tired of hearing about this damned laptop, but I'm just so damn confused as to how a brand-new computer could be such a pain the ass. It's barely 2 months old! :no:

Anyway... I just thought to let you guys know it's not as bad as I thought. I can still get a signal, but it's in the bloody bathroom! :shakefish:

As for the virus I have...
No, it's NOT a virus from DA. It came with something else, and though I haven't installed anything on this computer in ages other than safe, certified software, the internet is swarming with various malicious programs/software that can get installed through going on certain websites, and the most painful thing is that 99% of the time, you don't know you have gotten the virus until it's too late.

*sigh*

It's a 'mild' threat, but it's still a virus, and I don't want anything like that, mild or not, on this computer. It was a gift, and I plan on not only taking care of it, but giving it a decently long life for as long as I can control it's fate.


On another note, I have taken a look at my most recent poll, and I see a few people have sited that yes they are sick of seeing the same thing over, and over again on the front page's ' popular ' section.
In truth this came more as a shock to me because I thought surely more people would just say they could care less.
I am planning to try and help other budding artists get a bit more recognition, whether it be through feature journals, or feature 'news' articles. I think there's people on here who deserve WAY more attention than they are getting, and I would like to help them in any way I can :)

Anyway.... I think I'm done babbling now.

Sorry for the lack of art, but I haven't had the time to do anything other than minor doodles and spam crap, which is all traditionally done, BUT! There is some good news! My grandfather got a new printer, and he called me up the other day to tell me that I got one with a scanner because he thought of me and my art :)
I thought that was sweet of him :nod::heart:
The scanner/printer isn't hooked up yet, and it probably won't be for a week because both me AND my grandparents are rather busy these days, so neither of us can find the time to do it.
However, once it is up and running, hopefully I will be able to put up a few traditional works I have had done for a while now, so that people can see :)

Digital work is fun, but it's starting to get a bit boring for me. With nothing but a mouse to draw/color with, it takes way too much time to do a picture in Photoshop/MS paint.
Plus I missed traditional art, after all it is my roots.

There may not be any submissions from my for a while, but when I can find the time, or motivation to either scan in the traditional works, or draw something decent digitally, I'll get back into the race :)

Take care everyone, and thanks for your support, however little or large it may be :heart:
It's appreciated :nod:

:hug:

So....
I have come to the conclusion that I have a few things I want to say. They may not be pleasant, but they are a few things I MUST get off my chest.

1. What is with all the PearlEden/WildSpiritWolf knockoffs?
I mean yeah, they both have an admirable talent, but why is it so many people see it necessary to copy their style to a 'T'? their works would be more intriguing or interesting to me personally if there weren't so many others like them on here.
My suggestion?
Find your own style and just let others art be.

2. Why the heck is it always with the drama?
There is WAY too much drama on this site to be normal. It's ridiculous! There is no real reason to cause drama about useless bullsh*t that really doesn't matter in the end. This is an online art community, not high school. 99% of the people who are on this site don't know each other in real life, so there is no real reason why there should be so much useless drama between people on here.
I myself am getting sick and tired of reading journals upon journals about people who just cant seem to get along for some foolish reason (whether it be art related, or personal insults to one another). Get over it.

3. Spammers.
Why the hell is it so damned hard NOT to plague people with unnecessary bullshit. If you're than bored, get a hobby. Maybe art? Since you ARE on an 'art' site.... Just making an account on here to spam/troll is stupid. Get a life, or get a hobby.

4. The assholes who put random viruses/malicious 'links' on this place piss me the f*ck off!
WHAT. THE. FUCK!
Seriously, how bored do you have to be to think 'gee, here's a place that hasn't been plagued with random malicious crap, I think I'll start the trend! :D'
When I got on here about 4 years ago, there was no possible threat of getting a damned virus from a freakin' random link placed in a comment from one of my watchers! Now days those damned links are EVERYWHERE! I've been getting at least 10 comments with those links in them a day! 10!!

5. STOP. CLICKING. THE. LINKS. PEOPLE!
Seriously.... it does more damage to your computer than mine when you go happy-go-clicky. For me it's just the annoyance of getting spammed with random comments, but for you it STEALS YOUR PASSWORDS/PERSONAL INFORMATION! Not only will it take your stuff, but all of the information that is stored in your history. Bank numbers, social security numbers, addresses, ect. Anything anyone has typed into your web browser.
There are at LEAST 500 journals talking about DON'T CLICK THE LINK!!! but some how people just aren't getting it.

6. 'OMG! Kay Fedewa is the awesome! She's so creative!'
Ok, I'll admit it, I do think KayFedewa has potential in her art, however, I wouldn't go as far as to say she's the pinnacle of wolf comics. Her ideas may be original to a point, but they are still kind of cliche. Her style, though it's intriguing and neat to look at is also very Disneyish, and looking at her comics I can see a lot of Disney in them. She is a good artist, but I just think her popularity is a bit...well.....overworked.
Now before you guys go thinking 'you're just jealous', don't make me laugh. I have absolutely no reason to be jealous of anyone on here, and most certainly not of her.
Fans, feel free to spam me with how 'wrong' I am, and how much I just don't see or understand, but I'm just going to forewarn you I'm not as ignorant as you think. I watch KayFedewa, but not only for her part in her comics, but for the background artist as well ( FablePaint ) because after all, where would the character be without a good background?
Anyway.... I guess I just don't understand why all the fuss? :shrug:




There's a few more things I wanted to say, but I'm through for now. I'm just getting to the point where I HAD to say something for the hell of it just because I think people view me as a person with no opinions and just appreciates EVERYONE and EVERYTHING.
Though I'm a pretty even-sided person, I still have things that pester the crap out of me, and there is a few of them.

Agree or disagree, I don't really care. If you have a need to bitch, then you obviously don't know what the hell and 'opinion' is. I'm not telling you how to feel/view these things, I'm just telling you how I do.

Why?


Because I can.
