Character Design Contest and Other News
Added 2020-04-02 19:15:30 +0000 UTC
I would like to begin by expressing my sincere well-wishes to anyone who follows and supports my art, as well as your friends, families and communities to remain healthy and safe during these troubled times, and that any economic hardship resulting from these necessary preventative measures are short-term. It is in this time of social isolation that empathy and connectiveness, especially remote connection, becomes especially important. I would like to take this moment to thank the community for all of the support of my work and for that connectivity. If you reach a point where you are no longer able to support my channel because of this economic hardship, I fully understand and will welcome you back when things stabilize.
I have always found that creative pursuits are a fantastic outlet to keep oneself sane and I would like to do my part to help where I can, however small that help may be. To that end, I am happy to announce a new month-long character design contest for the month of April. The rules are simple:
- To enter, you must, by April 30th, 2020, publicly post your entry and mention this contest. Entries can either be drawings or detailed descriptions (At least a paragraph). Characters will be judged on concept and originality, and they must be detailed enough that an artist can draw them from the image and the description.
- Since so many are stuck inside right now, the theme will be "Into the Wilds", focusing on adventuring and exploration. Your character must embody these concepts in some way.
- At the end of April, I will select winners and make full colour drawings of the top 3. With enough entrants, I reserve the right to bring in guest judges or community voting, including the possibility of additional guest drawn prizes.
- Please spread this contest and feel free to ask me any questions you may have on this contest!
Good luck and have fun!
