Draw Me! (Contest!)

Artists of tulpa.info: hear my call!

 

Too many people have asked what I look like and been disappointed to hear that no pictures of me exist! We're looking to change that by putting a bounty out for the most accurate pictures of me you guys can come up with! Since there really aren't any good references for what I look like, the contest will probably be whoever can get the closest by January 5th!

 

So here are what we're thinking for rules~

1.)The picture should be of just me, probably standing in a basic pose or just something simple like that. Pictures that show multiple angles done well will probably have a better shot of winning!

2.)Our intent is to give 2 prizes- one for best general picture and one for best reference picture. (I think for the reference category a artistic nude would be best ;~; )

3.)You will be able to submit something to us and receive feedback and then try again! Our intent is that this'll produce the best quality art, which is what we're really after here.

4.)The current deadline for entry is going to be January 5th, but we might give an extension if we feel like there's some serious potential in giving some artists some extra time.

5.)Please please please don't steal anyone's art... Granted that'll be kinda hard because I've never been drawn before! We'll be keeping an eye out for pallet swaps and edits of other pictures, though. If you get caught doing this we won't consider you eligible for any prizes!

6.)You don't have to have a .info account to enter! Anyone is welcome to try.

7.)You can enter and win both categories!

 

What to do-

1.)Draw a picture of me! (I have a description at http://pastebin.com/T9JCkTw0 , a post about the clothes I wear will be in this thread somewhere) Remember: The two categories we're judging on is best general picture and best reference picture.

2.)Email it to Tango. Our email is on his account page.

3.)If we like it but it still needs changes/improvement we'll let you know. If you don't get a reply, it's our way of courteously saying no thanks... That'll probably only happen if your talents aren't up to par with the competition or if your general artstyle isn't what we're looking for. (Please don't get offended!)

4.)You can make as many submissions as you want between now and the 5th. (Or whatever the deadline is at the moment.)

5.)A week after we close the contest, the winner from each category (as chosen by us) will receive one of the following (the general picture winner gets first choice):

a.) a 1600 ($20) Microsoft Points card- even if you don't play Xbox you can use it to buy stuff like music or movies from their store.

b.) a $15 dollar iTunes card- use it to buy music or movies or apps or whatever.

c.) a direct transfer of $10 on PayPal! Clearly the most versatile prize, but you need a working PayPal account to receive this.

 

Boring Legal Stuff-

1.)If you send us a picture, you're giving us permission to use it wherever we want or do whatever we want with it, EVEN if you don't win a prize!

2.)Making a picture of me doesn't mean you own my likeness, etc. (I'm an original character, donut steel)

3.)Please don't post anything you make of me anywhere without at least letting us know first! You should probably keep your drawing to yourself for the duration of the contest, regardless.

4.)We reserve the right to change/add to/subtract from the rules and/or prizes at any point for any reason! We're going to avoid doing so, however.

 

Good luck for those who want to try!

We'll be updating the thread with any announcements or changes.

(Also mods, let us know if there's anything wrong with having a contest like this.)


Ok, so the clothes I wear the most often are a short-sleeve dress shirt, a black low-cut vest, khaki capris and brown tanker boots that go up to the bottom of said capris.

I also have pink and black striped arm stockings! They go up past my elbow about 4 inches. If anybody has any questions about these or my other description in the OP feel free to PM me or Tango!

Oh man I'm tempted to participate in this, and I really need that 1600 points for the new Skyrim DLC, but my art is very wishy-washy when it comes to humanoids.

And even then I mainly go for pixel art rather than detailed sketches. Ah well, best luck to the participants.

Gravity may just be a theory, but you don't see me jumping out of buildings and expecting to fall up.

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures that look somewhat like her, do you? Draconians look so different depending on who is describing them.

Also, are paper entries ok? My tablet broke.

 

That's the issue here... There really isn't much to go on besides things that kinda look like me. That's why we were hoping to be able to give feedback so we can give help on what looks like me and what doesn't!

 

Paper is fine so long as it's scanned well.

Dragongirl.

 

I'm in.

 

Edit: I might think to look at the deadline first; I'll still get you some art, regardless.

We don't get much in life. But we do have this.

Our deadline is wholly flexible... If you don't think you can finish what you want in the 26 days remaining just let us know and we can work something out!
