Welcome to the Art Skills Competition 2014/2015, or "ASC" for short. It is a contest to gather willing artists from the forums to compete in a friendly test of their skills and reward the best of their work each round.
Rounds will take place each month, the last day of the month will be the final cutoff for any entries. The judging will take place the first week of the following month.
___________________________________________________________________
Competition Guidelines :
1. The entry must be 100% original material.
2. Each round lasts for a month; closing date is at the end of that month.
3. Submissions should be relevant to the current month's theme. (See thread's title)
4. Keep posts resolutions within reason and if you must have a larger resolution, link it to the entry.
5. Entries can be created in any medium, please note that it will be appreciated if hand drawn entries are cropped to contain only the intended work.
6. Winners will be announced by the judge of the competition at the end of each round; the results are final and non-debatable.
7. The winner of a round will have the right to choose the next theme; if this takes too long, the judge will choose one instead.
8. All participants of each round will receive a Merit for their hard work; the winner of each round will receive the Armor Games "Artist Quest"!
Round 1: Knight
This months theme will be dedicated to creating a knight representing that of Armor Games, it is a non official character to try and stir the imaginations of artists and viewers. The artist should endeavor to embody Armor Games in a Knightly character.
@jimmycarlos you can probably start by doing some clean line work and inking your drawings with a dark pen then when you upload it digitally a cropping tool just as a magic wand can easily pick up the lines. Then once you have the line art in digital you can color it digitally. The main issue with wand tools is they are sensitive to color changes and you need some good contrast so using a pen after drawing a sketch then digitally coloring the line art might be better then coloring before you upload. Though you could color the image first as long as the line art for the outside of the image has a higher contrast then the background.
@Miraidematro sorry but i came to the realization that not many people would like the restricted theme :P
I have a question. I have thought of an entry for the contest, but it isn't about a certain video game, but about many video game console controllers. Would it still be OK with the theme?
