Alright, I hope I can get the time to come with a nice submission for this one. n_n

 

[CloudWolf]

Sounds fun

I might be tempted to draw something for this

 

[Pharaoh_]

Ok, in other contests, e.g. hero contests, the first price wins 40-45 points and this thing has a maximum of 35 points? You really need to get this to 50 points.

 

[Pyritie]

[Palaslayer]

[Billy the Cat]

That's 5 days for you to do preliminary pencil sketches

And 5 days to force you Palaslayer to come with a good idea. ^^

By the way, a judge can't join the contest so if you feel like testing your new tablet for the contest...

[Pyritie]

Just wondering, but:

1. Shouldn't Nintendo get some credits too on the image?
2. Kaazzoo moved to a new account: http://www.zouai.deviantart.com/

You can use them for inspiration but the final concept and art has to be done specifically for this contest.

[Craka_J]

Count me in!

 

[Palaslayer]

well, that would be my idea, if i participate.

 

[Pyritie]

I changed the number of this contest to #3 because there was no #2 >___>

 

[Craka_J]

You mean there was no number 3?

 

[noob134]

I might go in this, but just one question does it have to be in photoshop or another computer program or can i be on paper with a pencil/colored pencils?
P.S. is that messaging system thing sent to everybody?

 

[Billy the Cat]

I think everyone got the message
Well apparently any drawing program (or just the traditional way with pen and paper) will do as long as you submit it with the right file extension.

"Both traditional and digital media is accepted for this contest"

 

[Pyritie]

You mean there was no number 3?

Actually there was no number two. The previous contests were "Steam punk art contest" and "Concept art contest #3"... no idea how that 3 got there.

P.S. is that messaging system thing sent to everybody?

Everybody who isn't banned ;P
