Hi,

Some of you may remember the Art Skills Competition(ASC) that died some time ago, and there has been no succesful drawing art competition since it died. It died because there was no judge and other reasons, but I joined in the last 2 rounds of that competition and I have to say that I miss it.

So, I decided to have go at making another arty competition of that kind. And every succesful contest must have a set of rules.

1. You must not use artwork that belongs to any other person other than yourself

2. The artwork must be visual, not literary or audible. It can be a photo manipulation or drawing or other.

3. The deadline is 2 weeks from the setting of a new theme

4. You can submit more than one artwork, but must say which is your final

5. You must follow the theme

6. Anyone who fails to follow the first rule will be first warned, if repeated, then suspended for a round and then 2, and then banned until further notice.

7. The will be up to 5 awards each round which may vary, except for the 1st place award and Scenery award(background).

For anyone that would like to enter here's the Programs you could use alongside many others:

GIMP - free
Paint
Photoshop(costs)
Corel Painter(costs)

This round's Theme is

....
...
..
.

Ninjas

The 2 varying awards for this round are:

Weapon award
Stealth award

I will be the judge, so I won't enter

Hope this works

[quote]By the way, if I draw something for something else (ie not the contest) and it fits the theme can I enter, or does it have to be specifically a contest entry?

why's it quoted? Well, you have to edit it at least slightly(like +1 brightness). Or more if you want.

Isn't a montage a filmaking technique using music to display a story?


i don't know. I know it means 2+ pictures put together.(grass and sky in the one above.

You're thinking of a collage.

A montage is a way of telling a lot of fairly boring story in a quick sequence that just highlights the interesting points. Often used for fighting lessons or travels where the audience just don't need all the tedious details, and can get a swift display of the progress.
In film and animation, it's usually accompanied by music. It can work in comics too, though.

A collage is a piece of (visual) art put together by using many pieces, commonly stuff like differently coloured pieces of paper or leaves.

Actually, just realised, I'm thinking of a photomontage.

which is not meant to look rather real.

sorry for double post but thought I'd give a definition:

From wikipedia:

Photomontage is the process and result of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs.

Oh, that.

Use the full word another time, saves me the trouble of not catching on to the use of a word I've never seen in english before. \\o//

Definitely wasn't a regular montage, though.

Ah. Well I agree with the photomontage then

why's it quoted? Well, you have to edit it at least slightly(like +1 brightness). Or more if you want.


It's quoted to show I asked it already and that's word for word.

So I seriously have to edit my own original work? o.0

only slighly, it doesn't have to be noticable, as long as you say what you changed then I'm happy.

I wouldn't mine the 22nd. I like Judgings to be as early as possible.
