Title: free picture competition
Post by: Kaprika on April 12, 2011, 04:59:17 AM
now and then i like to give those that have no monies a chance to get art from me by putting together a competition!
:3
for those less financially inclined.

here is how its gonna work. there are three categories you can choose from...so you get to pick your challenge...keep in mind the challenge will also vary what art you get so read each challenges rules

CHALLENGE #1
furry poetry...i want to be moved. whether its pain...romance...pleasure..i want my very soul to be touched. and based off your poetry will decide what kind of art you will get. if its sad poetry...you will get a lovely and sombre picture...if its angry and vindictive..you will get just that as your art. so choose your category wisely..(and if your poem is a little less than "age appropriate" ill accept those submitions in PM. just remember..thats the kinda art your gonna get back if you win)

CHALLENGE #2
furry short story...choose whatever theme you want, just make sure it fits in your post in one go. like challenge one, ill base your furry art from a scene of my choosing in your story. and again..if its not totally Kosher, just PM it to me.

CHALLENGE #3
for the furry artists out there...i challenge you to draw me however you see fit..and if you win...i shall mirror that picture and draw you as you drew me...did you draw me dancing? then i shall draw you dancing TOO
i wanna see those creative juices flowing people!
this is me for reference

those are the 3 challenges...and i havent decided yet..but im either going to choose a winner from each category..or one overall winner.
this challenge is open for 2 months...so in that time draw..wright...create. and i shall decide my winner/winners on june 15th. if i get too many applicants..ill move forward the closing date as i dont wish to spend a week going through all the submissions.

ready...set...CREATE

I can't write poetry to save my life and I can't draw so save my life, so I'll attempt challenge 2. Would one of the chapters in my story be a decent length? (Story: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=15588.0 (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=15588.0))

it needs to be a whole story..a begging, middle and end...taking a single chapter id not be very informed nor would i feel any sort of finish...perhaps write a new short story for this challenge?

^Working on it, finished writing and now I have to type it up  :)  ...and then i need to have my proofreader have a go at it just to make sure I didn't miss any details/make any grammar mistakes  >.>

School has been tough on me these past few days  :(, if it didn't I would've had the story to you by now.

I've got roughly three pages in OpenOffice worth of story, but it hasn't progressed far in the plot.  I tend to get long-winded in portions.

I'm not sure if my story's gonna be short enough to not attach as an .odt or .rtf file to my post by the time it actually has something happening in it.  It may just be too long to fit in a post, as I mentioned, there are details.
Title: Re: free picture competition
Post by: Kaprika on May 20, 2011, 07:09:39 PM
well if its longer than you can post here, post it on DA and link me

alright...ive already told people and reminded enough, but i needed at least two people to make a submission by june and nobody but one person has posted anything..
im really dissapointed this didnt turn up more people...

i would need at the LEAST 2 people to make it a contest, i only had one person post anything here. and for a consolation prize ill be giving terra moon some free line art for her troubles (as i dont think its fair that she did all that work for nothing)

so this conest is officialy closed...
*is rather dissapointed*

Bah, sixteen pages that I've written, now for nothing. Sad part is, I haven't even gotten out of the beginning of the story, just halfway through the second scene even!

Oh well, when I'm done, I'll still post it on FA and link to it from the forum here.

Same situation here, but I finished writing it and am typing it up as we speak. Just need to post it in my writing thread and then censor it a bit  >.>
