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"!

I think that a sunset is a good representation of Summer, mostly I have alot of memories fishing and watching the sun set over water. Though the textures or the sky and cloud are very similar you might want to think about defining the water with a few sharper waves. Also the sun is a little high in the sky for the warm dusk/dawn color, just something to think about.

While its a good image and that you took something before and adopted it to a different season the changes were minor at best, Might want to think about how you could improve it, perhaps a 3 tone shading technique to give the character more roundness. Even cartoons use more then a solid color. If you want a good example of what to look at try Adventure Time, I find some of the sequences there really cool in just the use of color. Another thing to look into is Anti aliasing for your line work

Thanks for the tips, @Hectichermit.
Do I have to choose the next theme? If so, I'll go with "Flowers".

@Laspa, @Hectichermit cannot give us quests and merits. So, we need to wait for a mod to give it out.

Given them out already, might suggest extending the deadline for this one. Not really gonna give out merits if only one person takes part!

@Hectichermit, if you would, please give us more time. I too am doing a piece of art but finding less time. So, it would surely benefit us if you extend the deadline!
