Avatar Fan Art Contest on Nick.com

[Horyo]

I have an idea!

After uploading it to Nick, just upload it to DH!

DH SHOWCASE OF GOOD WORKS

[sebastianthecrab]

how about after the contest ends people then post their entries here. just so things dont get copied.

[Horyo]

Well if you already upload it to the site, any other duplicates will probably be discarded.

but sure.

Man I'm really going to feel sorry for the the inexperience artist (aka. like young children) who have high hopes of winning. I mean I hope they get something out of it, but I know alot of the big game artists will probably steal the spotlight and the prize. So its going to be hard.

Myself, I will be submitting as much as I can. But will little skills in coloring, which visually makes what the fanart so pleasing, so yeah. WISH ME LUCK? lol

Don't worry. I plan on doing something detailed and I gotta finish it in three days. Lengthy projects tend to make me go downhill in quality. I'll start out great but then I'll get lazy. Boo.

My hand will be DEAD.

[Horyo]

So this is what I do to start out, a stick-skeleton of what I'm gonna do...

Then recognizable faces....


And the FIRST draft!

I sooo totally screwed up Sokka's face and Toph ;_; plus my Zuko looks weird.

Katara and Azula are also inaccurate.

I'm dooooomed!

You want me to move my blood and soul to a board that-rant

I'm fine if people take it, that's not even the final design. But if you want me to move it just lemme know.

haha, I agree with Shockwave, but about the "people stealing your artwork bit," while DH community is pretty tight knit, and most our members have a code of honor, you should still be careful. And I'm not trying to scare you, but I can name one person off my head, who openly admittedly to stealing someone artwork and rehash it as his own.

Maybe we should post our artwork after the deadline? that way no one can submit our artwork.

P.S. Does anyone know how many time we can submit? I'm going to try and push myself and get at least 3 avatar artwork submitted.

[Horyo]

My works are all drafts..I'm sending in a colored copy, so no way am I posting up the final.

[Chibi Chan-o]

@shockie: Yeah, I probably won't post mine on deviantART until after the deadline. I'll definitely post it here, though.

I'll start the thread on submitted contest entries after the 15th so we can show off our hard work!! ^^

@storyteller: The contest rules didn't specify but I bet it's limited to one contest entry per person. With only 6-7 days to make a poster, I doubt people would be able to put in maximum quality on multiple entries. I've barely started on my ONE entry. XD

[~*Tea Sage*~]

ChibiSkye: Oh.....so uhh poster? How big does our artwork have to be?

[Horyo]

Whatever fits your scanner.

[~*Tea Sage*~]

Okay, I have my idea/concept for the poster....soo I guess all I need now is resources:

where can i find stock pictures of all of the characters, especially the one in fighting poses?

[beautyfr.pain]

avatarspirit.net is a great place to get screencaps.

i want to enter, but i'm only good at photoshop. my sister is a great artist though; maybe i can convince her to do it.

[~*Tea Sage*~]

thanks for the tip guys......

sigh crud i think im going to scrap my plans now, well my design concept, its too much like the stuff you see on deviantart, the popular stuff...where everyone is cornered in a center and stuff....sigh..

should i do something serious or lighthearted and fun?
