Contests, Craziness, and Kiribans, oh my!

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 24, 2009, 5:28 PM
Contest:

xD I blame the Tin Man fanatic (<3) that I watch, but I keep making wizard of oz references here. >D

Okay, first: I'm doing the contest, starting now! It'll start today, April 24th, and it will end July 31st. That should give you pleeeenty of time to draw, yes?

Judges:

These three judges will be the judges for every theme, so that I can guarantee that each person is graded on an equal scale.
*shayerahol22
~ShadowDragonBlade22
~DovePoet

Go check out ~DovePoet and ~ShadowDragonBlade22- they're super cool people! 8D (*coughmysisterandanIRLbffcough*)



Themes:

The themes are obviously going to be based off the four elements and the avatar.

Water: Spirit
Earth: Self-sufficiency
Fire: Perseverance
Air: Harmonious Pacifism
Avatar: Self-Identity

Yeah, these themes are hard. 8D But I'm giving you two months to work on them. >3 Think about them- you'd be amazed at what you come up with.

My reasons for each theme:
Water: Their connection with the spirit of the earth and moon is where they draw their strength
Earth: Their tenacious and self-assured attitudes, and their ability to defend themselves.
Air: Their light footprints on the environment and their incorporation into the environment. xD
Avatar: Self Identity because with all those past lives, there has to be some sort of confusion inside of them. 0:

For this contest, I want high quality arts. Like, seriously. I want this contest to further your artistic skills and stuff. 8D So I want some pretty epic detail. I'm gonna be super formal, so we'll have a grading sheet:

Background (0-10) ___
Number/Quality of Characters (0-5) ___
Anatomy (0-10) ___
Symbolism (0-10) ___
Color (0-5) ___
Incorporation of theme (0-10) ___

Keep in mind that this isn't just going to be 'who has the best picture' because some people are naturally better than others. :3 If you're like, an awesome artist, and you throw in a pic that's mediocre for you, but is still good, I don't want you to win. >>; If someone does a picture that's good for them, but not necessarily fantabulous, I think they might deserve a little more. That will factor in, somewhat, I think.

Community Fav:
Not placing, but voted the best by the community:

Craziness:

:3 Was just volunteering at a carnival- I hairsprayed peoples' hair different colors. 8D I didn't know it was possible for a finger to be sore, but apparently it is. (D8 It hurts to type. T_T)

Kiriban:

:3 My 6000 kiriban is coming up! 8D Whoever screenies it gets a free request! >3

Oh My- (Features):

Ok, a ocuple things:

1. Whassa Kiriban?

I once found a dead cat on the side of the road and brought it home and rosted it with honey and ate is. Is that bad?
:iconshayerahol22:
:3 Easy enough to answer:

1. A kiriban is a pageview contest. In this case, whoever has proof that they were my 6000th pageview would get a request. :3

2. D8 You're good at coloring! >3 If you need a program to color on, just download GIMP- it's almost as good as Photoshop.

1. ^^

2. Scan your art from a friend's scanner or summat, then kill the white/lack of contrast and color it?

2. My friends are lazy and never get around to it, plus it'd be weird to ask my mom again. Ah well.

Sweet! The contest sounds like fun :D I shall try my best to get something finished.

6000 kiriban :D Congratulations :glomp:
:iconshayerahol22:
2. (one is for squares) D8 If you take a picture, I could probably mess with the coloration, transparency, and contrast to make it right for coloring.
