Back in January of 2016, I hosted my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1721624/1]first ever art competition on Flight Rising[/url]. The turnout, positive feedback, and art that I received were all absolutely amazing, and I was able to give away a grand total of nearly 10 million treasure's worth of prizes, including raw currency givings of 1 million treasure and 3,000 gems. Because I have acquired a decent amount of currency once again (thank you offsite trading; you are a blessing) and I am always looking to spoil my characters, I'd like to host a second round of this. I hope to give away even more valuable prizes this time around! CANINE, DRAGON, HUMAN/OID, AND ANTHRO ARTISTS ALL WELCOME! SCROLL TO THE SECOND POST TO SEE PRIZES! SCROLL TO THE THIRD POST TO SEE CHARACTERS AND DRAGONS YOU MAY DRAW! The goal of the contest is simply to recreate my character(s) or dragon(s) to the best of your ability through your own artistic style. Judging is not based on art quality alone; rather it is based on creativity and originality, effort, and style. [b]This is currently CLOSED for judging and no new entries are being accepted.[/b] [b]Contest rules and information:[/b] [img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/cd5c/f/2009/140/6/2/dark_blue_bullet_by_catluvr2.gif[/img] You may enter as many times as you wish. More entries = more prizes will be added to the competition, and that means you have more opportunities to win! However, you may not win more than [u]1[/u] of the prizes. [img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/cd5c/f/2009/140/6/2/dark_blue_bullet_by_catluvr2.gif[/img] I [u]will[/u] be keeping all of the art that is entered into this contest, even if you do not place for one of the main prizes. [b]By entering this contest, you acknowledge and accept this fact![/b] [quote]While it is impossible for me to compensate every single artist with hundreds of thousands of treasure for every single piece that they enter, I [u]will[/u] compensate every single artist who enters with some array of apparel, currency, familiars, and/or collectables.[/quote] [quote]My primary motive in hosting an art contest is - rather than seeking out an artist to commission and requesting that they draw a certain character of my choosing - to allow an artist to choose a character that they feel inspired to draw! It is designed to celebrate the variety of styles the FR community has to offer, and of course, to receive art of my own original characters. I elect to keep every entry because the art is of characters that are owned solely by me and consequently cannot be reused/resold. Your art will be displayed on my [url=http://wesleydog.weebly.com]character website[/url] with proper credit (your username + the site from which I know you). If you are uncomfortable with pieces that do not win the main prize being kept, please do not enter. :)[/quote] [img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/cd5c/f/2009/140/6/2/dark_blue_bullet_by_catluvr2.gif[/img] All visual art is welcome! Pixel, painting, digital fullbody, traditional copic markers, sculpture, etc. Literally any visual art (no writing - sorry) is fair game! If you decide to create a physical item/something traditional and would like to ship it to me, I'd be happy to discuss with you on DA. I can, of course, pay for shipping :) [img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/cd5c/f/2009/140/6/2/dark_blue_bullet_by_catluvr2.gif[/img] Art submitted must be created solely by you. Please do not use any bases or commission art of my characters. It must be your own intellectual property - no brainer :) Want to help me advertise? Here you go!
