Official Oddworld Forums Fan Art Competition 2010!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first annual (hopefully) Oddworld Forums Fan-Art Competition! That’s right, it’s a chance for you all to show off your art skills and have your hard, heart-felt labours torn apart by a bunch of savage, cruel judges!
Or something. The theme for this competition is Fears! What you’ve gotta do:
Anonymity is good! The aim is for each entry to not be attributable to its artist; in other words, we don’t want the judges to know who drew/painted/etc. what until after the competition, just to avoid any accidental bias. For this end, we have the following rules.
More rules:
You will be judged on:
Each category will be marked out of 10, giving you a total mark of 50 per judge. The closing date for this competition is Wednesday the 31st of March, 11:59, GMT. You must have submitted your entry by this time! When the results from the judges are in, the pictures will be posted in Fan Corner along with the results, and the winner will be forever recognised in the Fan-Corner Competition Hall of Fame! SO whaddaya waitin’ for? GET BACK TO WORK! |
Ooh, might enter. My Photoshopping is glacial, so it'll just be sketch, but I do have an idea... I just hope we get as few entries as we did for the FanFic Comp. :D That way I might be in with a chance.
|
Oh my...can you have more than one entry, my, oh my.
|
I draw like an armless penguin, but I do look forward to seeing the results.
|
:
I'd like to enter this, hopefully I'll find the time for it |
Only one entry per person. Sorry.
|
Ooh, I'll try and join, I have a few ideas :devil: Whether or not I'll get it coloured on time though I don't know.
|
At last, motivation for me to get the scanner working. Thanks Splat, it really needs doing.
|
Ill draw I love drawing
|
ok, officially entering......now, is there any size/format considerations?
|
Not this year. Maybe I'll be wiser next year :p
|

|
Forsake your homework, this is more important...you must win the respect of your peers!!
|
Ah, the homework's done. It was some crap about hypotenuses and finding angles and so on, it's fairly easy really, it's Maths A (easiest level of Maths, apart from Prevocational, which is for people who totally FAIL at maths). I've never done Maths before, ever, in my life, but I'm finding it easy to understand once I've Wikipedia'd the terms I don't know, which is most of them, except hypotenuse.
So I worked it out, I understand it, pretty much, now - I can do it, anyway, that's the main thing. I'm thinking of changing to Maths B, actually, which is the hard level. There's also Maths C, which is for rocket scientists and whatever. But to do Maths C, I'd have to give up Drama, and I don't want to do that. So... Maths B should provide me with an interesting challenge. Enough nonsense. I'll do some drawing tonight, and hopefully it'll be finished by Monday... okay, well, by the closing date, then. |
Wow, monday? you work fast ench
|
Do I need to add colour? Don't like colour
|
I think that question is pretty much answered here:

|
And remember you're not exactly rushed for time, so you might want to hold back a while and see if there's anything else you can improve on it before you PM it to me.
Or not. Up to you :p |
can we not resubmit if we do want to put in some touch-ups after submitting early?
|
I don't want people to go wild with resubmissions cus it will only make things harder for me!
I'll say you can only resubmit once. So to clarify, if you send me your piece and then decide it could be better, you can edit it and send it to me a second time. But you cannot send it to me more than twice; I will accept the second submission only. |
I'll try and enter this contest if I can :D
|
Grieva: As to the Monday, I haven't done any more since I posted that, so it won't be; but if I'd bothered, well, yeah, Monday. It's just a pencil sketch and was the major foreground objects were already done, it just needed a background.
It actually sucks pretty bad, because I'm a terrible artist, but I figured I'd do it anyway. I'm not home at the moment, but I'll be back about three this afternoon, and then I'll be playing badminton... ah... I'll do some tonight, anyway, and more tomorrow. I just can't think of how to draw the background :\ |

A month and a week till deadline...
Sure, i'll give it a shot :) just whipped up a quick practice sketch. |
Will you believe me if I tell you I forgot about this?
|
Will you believe me if I told you I forgot about this?
I guess I got really worked up with the fiction competition 'cus no one sent me anything 'til really close to the deadline, but since I'm expecting that now, I let it slip to the back of my mind. I mean, I'll wake up when people start sending me their entries. |
AAAH I'm running out of time! Srsly, I keep having to do work instead of drawing.
|
What's the prize, you know, as a added incentive? Can we be Mod for day pl0x?
|
Uh, the power to give that does not rest with me, and I doubt I'd be able to argue your case with the powers that be. Mainly it's just the prestige of being the Best Artist To Enter This Competition On The First Ever Year It Ran Huzzah, and the associated bragging rights.
|
I'm guessing I won't win if I don't abide the theme?
