The PokéCommunity Artstravaganza!​

Okay welcome to PC's official Art competition, where we give you the chance to battle against each other (I mean that in the lightest way possible) for the top prize as well as a chance to call yourself the best artist of PC! XD


Anyways, first things first, announcing the judges…well there are only five…which is all the better because it will be easier to discuss XP

Anyways, the judges are!:

Shadowfaith
Forest Grovyle
Light_Azumarill
Aquilamon
igtica

Yup yup…your art will be put into the hands of us five!...heh heh heh heh…

Anyways:


This Art contest will be purely for the art gallery, we allow no banners, sprites or trainer cards, only artwork:

Digital art (MSPaint or pixel art perhaps), digital art (other, e.g. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro), traditional art (sketches), traditional art (coloured), Oekaki and so on.

All of the above is accepted in this competition and perhaps more if we can ever think of it >.<


How it will run? Well:

There will be a competition every month, thus meaning that you will have one month to complete your entries and enter them in the entry thread (Yes there will be an entry thread and a discussion thread). Then we will judge the pictures and let you know who gets first second and third place.

We will be judging overall, so this means that all types of art will be judged at the same time….thus meaning that sketches will be up against digital art and so forth.

Runs like a normal competition that's all XD


Now themes will be random, for example, one month it can be Hybrids and another it could be Game characters. No matter what the theme it will be an open one so that it gives you enough choice. We will not be allowing any themes like Final Fantasy or Hellsing, because there are many that do not know anything of those, so you can be guaranteed that it will be open enough for everyone to join.


It's easy to enter. Just make sure you read the whole of this thread and then you can post in the entry thread that will have the current contest at the start. You can enter every month if you wish, but you will only be allowed to enter once each month, so one entry per person each month, no more. You may change your entry as long as the contest is still running…but we would much prefer you didn't…makes it easier you know. You will have to edit your previous entry, but leave a note saying that you have changed it.


You can discuss in this discussion thread all you want, but we do not want any flaming of any kind. You can discuss yours and other entries here but there will be no discussion in the entry thread.

And that's about it! Hope you have fun and remember to actually read the current competition XD

(Linkie!)

Oo; If it's not I'm more then sorry and will wait till the finished product... :goes to finish more: However that there is a preview to give everyone a heads up on what I'm planin' I will NOT mension the backround yet XD.

good luck everyone =3 this is ganna rock.

Looks good, but the wings aren't lined up. That'd bring your mark down if I were voting. It's a nice pic, though. :)

I likely won't get around to doing one, which is hardly a surprise since I don't post pics here often at all(where *did* my topic get to... :P), and I haven't put any pictures on my PC for awhile, either... I do have an idea, though. :D

The wings are ment to be in that way to look kinda fast and bring it into motion of what way Flygon is going =D Sorry if it still seems a little off but I'v learned when I was judging these back at oekaki's I found five basis to be a main point bringer; Orginiality,consept,shading,lineart and backrounds. =( I'm not normaly "good" At lineart and I still need alot of work so I may not win this time XD But man is it fun to just noin one of these !.
Oh and as for the originality and consept=D I am going to be fully honest about the information on the Entry thred ^^.

Well, the shading and background both look good. Not sure you understood what I was saying about the wings, but whatever... Good job!

Yay! It's been sooooo long since I've entered an art contest! I was just thinking of starting an art thread here, and instead I saw the contest sticky! Boy... I hope I can compete; there are some really talented people here.

I'm not doing an Oekaki though, I'm still not used to the setup of it. I think I'll be coloring it in Photoshop. But I'll draw the linework on paper first. That's how I prefer to do all my digitally colored drawings. I do much better on paper than with a mouse. >-<

Anyway, hope lots of people enter, the only one that's done it so far is Freenaturearts! Good luck to everyone!
