Hello everyone!!! Well as I have already mentioned in the club's comments, the theme this time around is Pokemon!! The basics: Design your own Pokemon trainer and arrange a picture including that trainer and your favorite 2-6 Pokemon that you would use on your team! UPDATED Deadline: October 12th Rules: • No cheating. This means no tracing, no copying directly from another artist or original work, no stealing other art, etc. Trust me, I WILL find out if you attempt to do any of this. • The drawing must be a BRAND NEW DRAWING made specifically for this contest. • Keep it PG. Honestly, one of the things in art I CANNOT stand is gruesome violence towards animals. PLEASE do not draw any blood or gore in your pieces as I will be unable to judge them fairly if you do so. Fighting is absolutely fine, but nothing excessively cruel please. Guidelines: • I would prefer it if you had 4 or more Pokemon in your piece. I am allowing 1 at the minimum, but please note that I am going to take more consideration on a piece that has 4 or more, PREFERRABLY 5 or 6. Editied by Sadame-tan:the minimum number of pokemon you can draw is now 1 NOT 2 • NO MORE THAN 6. Please don't make your piece crazy busy!! • HAVE FUN DESIGNING YOUR TRAINER. Your trainer should look somewhat original. Don't just copy Ash or Dawn or whoever's clothes- design your own costume!! • Make your composition interesting!! It doesn't have to just be your trainer and 6 Pokemon standing around looking pretty- Have something fun or silly going on. You can have them training, eating, playing pranks on eachother, whatever you want! Show me how YOU imagine your team would interact together! • There are 646 Pokemon out there!! You can find at least 5 you like, I promise!! Prizes: ALL entries, if posted on Deviant Art, will be featured in my journal to hopefully garner you all some pageviews. UPDATED: I promised real prizes this time around, and despite it being super late, REAL PRIZES YOU SHALL HAVE!! • 1st place will receive this super cool graphite pencil set sent to them in the mail: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HTBBO8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p201_d7_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0VVET04FS95XD9XZT3J9&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846 OR a 2 month premium membership on Deviant Art. • 2nd place: A sketchbook! No artist can ever have enough of these! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A7JJF0/sr=1-2/qid=1348206757/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1348206757&seller=&sr=1-2 OR A 1 month premium membership on Deviant Art. • 3rd place: A mint-condition still-wrapped Ancient Mew card from the Pokemon Movie 2000 from Sadame: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places will get banners and they're drawings will be featured on the club page until the nest contest is up! Entry Format: Username: Medium(s) used: Time Taken: (approximately) Drawing: (in a spoiler tag. If you have it posted on another website like Deviantart, please post the link!) Link s to any reference pics are helpful. Additional tips: • Please, PLEASE do NOT use lined paper!! Grab some plain white paper out of your parents’ printer, get a sketchbook, anything!! But please, if it is at ALL possible, avoid lined paper. It takes away from your art that you put so much time into. • Ask me for help! I’m willing to answer any questions, clarify anything, and even help you develop your ideas. I can also help you find Pokemon if you’re having trouble finding some that you like! • Color always helps, but do not feel obligated to use it just because. • Backgrounds help, but if you are not comfortable drawing them do not force it! Don’t be scared to try though!! • Give your Pokemon and your trainer some personality!! Have them interacting, wearing items found in the game or just fun trinkets, anything! BE CREATIVE!!! Examples by other artists: You might notice that many of these artists stylized the pokemon a lot. YOU CAN DO THAT!!! I mean don't just entirely change the Pokemon, but feel free to be creative and make them fit YOUR style! Other than that, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN EVERYONE!! If you have ANY more questions, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! If anyone feels that the deadline should be extended feel free to say so. I know this is a bit more involved of a contest so I want to make sure everyone has time. =) Hey guys!! I just wanted to thank you all again for participating in this contest and doing such a great job. It was a lot of fun to see what you all came up with, and I was impressed that no one went under 3 Pokemon- in fact, most everyone did 5-6. Awesome!!! Since we had so many great entries, I've included 2 honorable mentions as well. So, without further ado... The results!!! First Place (Will receive either a fancy pencil set or a 3 month premium membership to Deviant Art.) VladdCraver Second Place EatsSweets (Will receive either a sketch book or a 2 month premium membership to Deviant Art) Third Place (One month premium membership to Deviant Art) Pear_disappear Honorable Mentions (Will each receive a sealed Ancient Mew card in mint condition) BlackStars Namea Thanks again for all the hard work everyone!!! |

Just go into a well lit room and make sure the angle is right and all that. You can also go to Kinkos and get stuff scanned too. It will cost a few dollars but it's an option if you really want to. =) |

Uh, I have no idea what you have in the Philippines. Just look up a copy center in your area on google and you should be able to find something that works. I don't mind if you submit multiple entries, I'll just pick what I think is the best one and count that as your entry. But you might consider just spending more time on the one rather than cranking out two. =) |

I can't make up my mind on which pokemon to involve... The only thing stopping me from sitting down and getting something decent down on paper. Anyone want to suggest some for me? :3 |

Hmmm then I'll just list pokemon lol. Wortortle is pretty cool and cute. Sharpedo is popular. Kabutops is also pretty cool. Ahhh and Dunsparce is adorable. Umm Kingdra, Larvitar, Masquerain, Shedinja, Milotic, Lopunny, Hippowdon, Froslass, Liepard, Blitzle or Zebstrika, Krookodile, Darukama, Tirtouga, Joltik, Eelektross, Zweilous, Volcarona. Whew that's a lot of Pokemon. |

Well, what do you normally draw Narrator? Are you more prone to draw cute simple things or fierce things? And the max is 6, so you can even mix it up. Another idea is to just pick one type and only draw pokemon of that type, or pick two types or something. |

wow, the prizes! the prizes! ( *u*) errr, what if the winner is in other country? O.o XD |

:L Yeah Exactly What i thought and i asked Amberleh if it would be fair if she had to pay LOADS just to ship it to your house T_T But I love amazon and their Usual "Free Dilivery" to Most Country around the world ..... I think they do that anyway ???? Maybe I'm wrong though but i don't think it should be a big problem hopefully :S The Prizes are "EXTREMELY Generous" We love You Amberleh :) |

Beautiful work Eatsweets!! Thank you for working so hard!!! w7y7a7t7t- I've extended the deadline by 2 weeks, do you think you could take a little time to color your piece or at least shade it? If you don't have time I understand, but your profile pic which you drew has some nice shading in it. If you did a little of that on your piece I think it would be something you'd be more proud of. =) You've also got quite a bit of space- Why not add a Lapras in the ocean and/or a Krabby on the beach or something like that? |

Username: Saya_Suzuki Medium(s) used: .5 Mechanical Pencil Time Taken: I really don't know for sure but I'll say maybe 5 hours or more.

These are all so impressive! Wow, makes me sort of jealous. Yeah, I was a complete idiot, and decided for some reason to try drawing this thing digitally. That was stupid because I've never drawn anything digitally before in my life... No idea it would take so long. Anyway, I don't feel bad about it because it was really fun trying something new, regardless of whether I could submit it to the contest. Below is the steaming pile of unfinished failure, for those of you who want to feel superior for the rest of the day. Great job guys, and I feel sorry for Amberleh who has to pick a winner now. |
