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.

I hope not, I have always been hopeless at picking themes.
That said, there are plenty of good contesters, both in execution and idea. Same said for the previous theme.
Honestly, I think many of the people here are quite talented, whether that refers to skill or to imagination.
But I am too lazy (and perhaps self absorbed) to mention them by name.
I guess, for the matter of helping self esteem, if you read this, it's probably you.
Well, enough of that.
Let's see if the judge has decided by the - end of the month, heh.
I know the deadlines over, so I'm not expecting this entry to qualify. Plus, I just kind of rushed it. But, I couldn't resist the joke (even if it's lame).
But in all seriousness I am not feeling too well and am going to make this short
While all the pieces were good, and Ceneres skills surpass many here..I just find that the only one with a theme that was completely refreshing, so the winner is
Kegaumongo
It is an interesting that the interpretation was going beyond the harmful and harsh ideas that fire brings to mind to place it as a life giving aspect. The art is well done but I think that by making the radiance of fire not harmful is expressed in it.
And the next theme is... Blue. Maybe some explanations are needed. You can draw something that is actually blue (mmm, macarons...). Or draw something using different shades of blue or anything else this word means to you, as long as it follows the rules of the site, of course.
Hope it's not a horrible choice. Sorry, I'm not good at this :|
