User:Echo 1/Artwork Contest 2

CONTEST ENDS AUGUST 14th, 2012 (VJ DAY)

Well, I'm pretty sure its high time that we have another artwork contest on CBW to encourage the artists (however few there seem to actually be) to put their skills to use.

So anyway, welcome to Echo 1's second art contest! 

This time around though, you're drawing canon characters!

Rules
Rules are pretty much the same as the last contest, with some tweaks.


 * 1) YOU (AS IN YOURSELF) MUST MAKE THE DRAWING. DO NOT COMMISSION YOUR FRIEND OR SIBLING TO DRAW IT. NO COPY AND PASTES FROM DEVIANT ART ARE ACCEPTED, EITHER.
 * 2) You must follow the preselected categories.
 * 3) The character you draw must be canon, not a MOC or pseudo-canon creation.
 * 4) Drawings can be of the set version, movie version, or your own interpretation of the character (the last one will score you more points under Echo 1's overcritical eye).
 * 5) You can give the character a human appearance, but this is discouraged.
 * 6) No more than two characters per picture.
 * 7) One entry per contestant.
 * 8) Line art, CGI models, sketches, drawings, oils pastels, or paints are all allowed. Your preference. NO MIXTURES, THOUGH. Note: I'd also discourage you from using markers or crayons.
 * 9) Does not have to have a background.
 * 10) Only photoshop edits/touchups you can do are colors or lighting effects. Nothing more.
 * 11) No photoshopping a canon set to look like a drawing.
 * 12) If you're drawing a female character, do not overemphasize certain organs (you know what I'm talking about).
 * 13) ABSOLUTELY NO RULE 34. 'Romantic' pictures are fine, but | Rule 34 art is specifically banned.

Toa
Draw a canon Toa. I don't care which one as long as its a Toa.

Matoran
Draw a canon Matoran.

Glatorian
Draw a canon Glatorian. Scrall and Vorox are included in this category.

Agori
Draw a canon Agori.

Rahi
Draw a canon Rahi.

Other
Draw Sidorak, Artakha, Karzahni or one of the Barraki.

Prizes
First Prize: Bragging rights, and a template (if I ever make one).

Runner Up: Bragging rights, but less than those of the first prize winner.

Third through Last: Nothing other than the ability to say you were in the contest. I don't hand out participation awards.

Tips on Pleasing the Judge

 * 1) Make the drawing realistic. Armor, hair, mouths, and organic tissue will all please me greatly and make me think your drawing is better than others that look like plastic toys.
 * 2) Make it your own interpretation of how the character should look (as long as its recognizeable as the character) and you'll score a lot of extra points.
 * 3) Keep the drawing clean! Don't have too many eraser marks all over the paper.
 * 4) Paper quality. A clean sheet of white or drawing paper or some nice, fine graph paper will definitely score more points than a drawing on lined paper.
 * 5) If you draw a human appearance for the character, make it look believable.
