PokéCommunity Draw-a-Thon!
http://i.imgur.com/OID7yYQ.pngWelcome, one and all, to PokeCommunity's very own Art Contest, the Draw-a-Thon! Hosted by none other than Meganium90 and ANARCHit3cht. What is this contest, you may ask? Well, it's obviously an art contest, but what type of art? Traditional of course. For this contest, you will need to draw a picture that fits this year's theme (posted below). You can draw digitally, or by using colored pencils, crayons, paint, etc! As long as it fits the theme, it's great! Any level of artistic creativity is always welcome to enter the Draw-a-thon! http://i.imgur.com/klwEd1A.pngThis year's theme will be on: What do you like about the season of summer? Vacation? Beaches? Barbeque? There's endless things to do during the summer season, and your task is to draw a picture that represents what YOU like about summer. http://i.imgur.com/KqaW8kx.pngEntries will be accepted between 12:00 am GMT +5 July 5th to 12:00 AM GMT +5 July 8th. Judging will occur on July 8th and we will bring results in either on the night of July 8th (GMT+5) or July 9th depending on entries. Deadline has been extended. Entries will be accepted until 11:59 PM EDT July 9th. Judging will occur on July 10th, and will bring in results on that same day. See announcement for full details & London/Australian times.. SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. Judging has begun & will bring results by July 10th 11:59 pm EDT http://i.imgur.com/wYryloQ.pngOf course, for every event, we gotta have rules, right? Failure to follow will result in disqualification. ~All pieces of art must be drawn & must be recent – please do not submit graphics such as banners, icons or pixel art. Do not submit artwork that was done in previous contests or done in the past. Your entry must be for this contest only. [Edit 7/6/13: All art must be drawn by you. Do not use outside images]. ~Art must comply within PC Rules – as in, no profane, inappropriate, or violent pieces of artwork. ~Plagiarism is strictly prohibited – anyone caught stealing someone's artwork without any consent whatsoever shall be disqualified and infracted upon the PC staff's discretion. ~Make your artwork count! - Yes, it is a short get-together this year, but as a suggestion, try to add effort to your work. “Scribblework” or two-minute drawings or stick figure drawings count as little effort and we as hosts will ask you to edit. ~Regarding Pokemon and other fandom artwork – as long as it fits the theme, they are accepted! Remember, this contest isn't strictly for Pokemon...so if you want to draw something that relates to the theme, you can! ~One entry per person – Please do not submit more than one piece of artwork. If you do, only the first piece will be accepted as an entry. ~For digital artists, use your brushes in strict moderation – as mentioned in the previous rule above, all artwork must be drawn and use of graphics such as icons is prohibited. We're not saying you can't use any brushes, but be sure you limit your usage on them. http://i.imgur.com/MqHHjbx.pngThere will only be winner and participant emblems for this contest, plus a secret emblem. But we won't tell you about that! ;) Winner: http://i.imgur.com/87hBCTK.png C'est Magnifique! You did it, magnificent artist! Your artwork won PC's Draw-a-Thon, which earned you this special emblem. Great job, and keep doing art! Participants: http://i.imgur.com/APHn3Ob.png Artista Fantastica! No matter if you won or not, you've contributed to the world of art and this emblem proves that you are a great artist no matter what! Thanks for participating at PC's Draw-a-Thon! http://i.imgur.com/IqbFrtn.pngFill in the form inside the spoiler tag along with your entry, and post in this thread! If you are entering a picture drawn by pencils, crayons, paint, etc., you can either scan the picture or take a picture with a camera and upload it to an image-hosting site (imgur is recommended!) Be sure the image is spoilered (using [SPOILER][/SPOILER*] tags) and the format of the image is .PNG. If you are having trouble converting your image to .PNG or embedding your image, don't hesitate to contact one of us hosts or post in the thread. Entry Form Spoiler:

Random/weird question: Swimming is something related to summer. So if someone were to draw a beach/swimming scene/related drawing, what would be too inappropriate as for swimsuits or clothing go? There's some bikinis that could be considered too risque for a forum, so that's why I'm wondering. Should it be relatively modest (or for swimsuits at least) ? Or would something like that not be PC appropriate at all?
|
Yeah, just keep it PG-PG13ish. As long as it's not *too* sexy. xD
|
Lol okay then. I was thinking of a beach scene then , most likely a Pokemon themed one or just general anime characters.
|
I'll join, sounds like good fun. I'm okay at drawing, though colouring isn't my best point - 3-
|
May we submit large pixel art pieces for the digital that depicts a scenery? It seems like it would reduce the anti-aliasing effects of brushes.
Example of a pixel art scenery (Google Search Image) Spoiler:

As long as you do not use any outside sources (like images or text, everything has to be drawn by you), then I will allow it. :)
|
I'll join!
Just a question. Is it ok if i will not color my drawing??? (Coz i really suck at coloring) |

Last minute entry! Hoping it's not too late!! My scanner wouldn't work. >.>
Anyway, here's my entry. Username: AWsquared Artwork: Spoiler:
Description: It's B2W2's main characters Nate, Rosa , and Hugh having fun at a beach on summer vacation. I thought it would be clever to have them wear swim suits similar to their regular outfits. Had to include the Unova starters as well! |
Haha, you're right on time.
ANYWAYS GUYS, it's now Wednesday EDT, which means submissions are now You may not edit your entry. Otherwise, you will be disqualified. I just want to say first of all...that all of your artwork is just simply stunning. I am amazed at all of the hard work you guys had put in your pictures, describing what summer means to you. Thank you so much for contributing! Give yourselves a pat on the back, because to me you are all winners. <3 Judging will now commence, so sit tight guys! Myself and my co-host will have the results in by the end of the day on Wednesday (by 11:59 PM EDT at the latest possible). |
Aww man...It seems I was done for anyway. :( (Dangit timezones)
And I was about to finish it too... Anyways, good luck guys. I'm rooting for ya! :) |
RESULTS!
The entries have been judged aaaand the results are in! <3 The winner of the 2013 PC Draw-a-Thon is... Spoiler:
2nd place (and it was so close, too!) goes to: Spoiler:
Honorable mentions go to Kirozane, AWSquared, and Chr. Draco for making great artwork that represents summer. You guys did really well too! Thanks for participating in the PokeCommunity Draw-a-Thon, everyone! All of you posted great art, and to be honest I am extremely impressed! If you have the chance, why not show more of your work by posting a gallery in Art & Design? I mean, that is if you want to! xD Keep calm and make.....ART! |
Did mine not represent summer? :<
I knew I had no chance at winning though :3 congratulations winners! |
I thought for sure I was going to win. Oh well congrats Fenneking.
If I may ask, can you give us an analysis of both mine and Fenneking's work in comparison? I just want to know what are the pluses in our artwork. |
I'd be more than happy to individually PM anyone a short critique/analysis if you want to know *how* you did. If you want to know, shoot me a VM or PM and I'll be sure to send it to you when I get the chance. I would post them publically, but I felt things like that should be discussed in a private manner. :P
Rizardon, I'll PM you the comparison shortly. :) |
I'd like to get a short critique ^^;;; ...
|
Congrats! Your artworks were really great. :)

Wow, great :)
Good job everyone who participated. One of my favorite entries was Kirozane's; I love the playful theme. No matter how powerful someone is, making a simple sandcastle can best someone's patience, and it has a nice quirky style. I hope to see everyone enter next year! |
Well shoot lost again. But that's okay, the winners well deserved it. Congrats you guys!
I've been wanting to post a gallery in Art & Design for sometime so might as well do it now. :) |
Congrats to first and second place; great art works.
Also good art works those who participated and I hope next year there are more participants and enjoy making art. |
Everyones' drawings were great, it was cool looking at all of the different styles and settings. Congrats to Fenneking and Rizardon and everyone else who participated, and also a big thanks to ANARCHit3cht and Meganium90 for actually giving me a reason to use my crayons!
