After the small participation success and great entries of our first contest,
I hereby present you our second group activity;
Summary:
Your mission will be, if you accept it, to make an anime wallpaper of any resolution you want, and provide a
walk-through (again!) of your work afterwards.
This time the theme is something a bit different from usual; Your wallpaper will have to focalise on special/dramatic lighting applied on objects and characters. Why? Because
Winter is the time of year where we have the less sunlight, and so our seasonal depression remedy will be to work with
the one thing nature is missing for now.
What must be featured in your wall:
-This time there is no specific element per se, but your work must have dramatical lighting and important effect on
it's direct environment.
**example: You have to get across the river
before it gets dark by candy-chan
Now your wall must take advantage of this same technique, and of course it will
have to be painted (moar than mine)
***Note: Don't forget to check the new information box on the group's
page for 19th century classic paintings and stock images that fit the theme ;D***
-Doujinshis are still accepted, as long as they are incorporated into the wallpaper.
Technique and style guidelines are the same as in our first contest (click for a reminder) Any type of scan will be accepted, as long as it is anime.
Judging:
Pretty much the same as last time
For now it is still just me and Mickyoko. If any other staff member wants to judge and not participate, contact me. If
you want to start and organize a democratic revolution, it's as you wish.
you'll be judged on:
-Respect of theme & restrictions: Importance/Use of lighting, Effects used on character and canvas /5
-Visual content: Aesthetics, Balance and Composition /5
-Technique: Painting job and look, Effort /5
-Originality: in technique, on subject and visuals /2
Prize:
A feature in the group page, a God(ess) of Light title and banner to show off on
your sig/userpage and por's new group banner
and a stick figure drawing of any MT member from me!
the Aftermath: (same as before)
When the contest is finished and all the entries are handed over, I would like for you to go back to your wallpaper psd,
and make us a little walk-through of the techniques you used for your light focus. The walk-through can be a fully
lenghted tutorial or just screenshots and explanations on how you worked (on the whole wall or the painted part, you
pick). Everything will be added to the group's page as future reference.
This is to encourage members to share techniques and tutorials on digital painting. Because we never stop learning, and
because I think no one is really that comfortable with painting in this group.
Great way to learn and help! :D
Keep this in mind when making the wall, you might want to take screenshots
All entries must be submitted to MiniTokyo and posted in the
paint-o-rama's guestbook before March First, this gives you a little less than two months. Shortly explain how and where you
used painting techniques in your wallpaper description. You need to be a group member to participate.
this is it folks! Cheers
