Forums Charities Art Runway Contest - Setup

Voltie — Sha/female Posted 5 years ago ( 2020/03/9 05:04:28 )


Fancy banner of the future!!!

I have an art program (Krita) that I am trying to learn because my clip studio paint trial ran up finally after two years t.t
I can't afford to replace it and get the full thing yet, so I had an idea!!
I love drawing avatars! I'm gonna hold a contest!

I will post a contest theme for avatars to be made.
You will enter an avatar based on that theme.
I will choose a winner.
(Or I will have volunteer judges? That give scores out of ten?)
I will draw the winner right on stream so you can watch it happen live.
New contest!

Plan : one week to pull together an avatar, during this week I will stream coloring old arts. Possibly even ones I have given away free during events. So you may get a free upgrade!
All in the name of learning a new program and still practicing art!
Second week, my judges if I can get volunteers, or myself will rate and pick a winner and I will stream the art for the winner and set up a new theme
Third week. The cycle begins again!

Art contests were said to be a charity thread thing... And this is technically an art contest??? With free art being given away from an avatar contest? I'm not sure. T.t
I think this is the right place.

My friendly judges helping me?

Please let me know if you'd like to be a judge and help me pick the winners :D

Tips from the judges:
Shadami- I am personally a fan of creative uses of items so that they look like something completely different and you have to double take to realize it's more than one item. I'm also a big fan of a smaller color pallette sticking to usually just 3 main colors with very minor accents of other colors if any at all. Asymmetry is love.

And open with my inferior layout skills. I really want to get back to voltra art and streaming and being charitable.

Much needs the good love vibes again! Yay!

Bonus: baby jumping bean will often be on stream xD

@Unicorn: actually it'll be an avatar contest. :D

I'm thinking things like 1-10 scale. Like mine for example
10/10 (obvi cause it's my own avatar lmao) the color balance is amazing and the 8 limbed creature of fire, space, and sea is very creative.
But someone else might say
7/10 - while the color balance is overall really good on this avatar, the background is really contrasting and the Halo seems unnecessary.

Either would be lovely. :D

Hmm hmm hmm I mean this is something I want to do relatively on the regular. Which is why I was thinking arts only. I hadn't thought of additional prizes. To big a prize would catch up to me for sure....
