~Pantheon of the Gods~~~Grand Art Contest~
Riplox
Yeah, I'm working on a Lyssa drawing at the moment. I'll try and get it entered as soon as possible, but it'll be very close to the cutoff date I know for sure.
NinjaKai
I've been wondering. How would people feel if I extended the hand in date. Because it looks like it will take longer for most entrants to actually do their art by the date.

That'd actually be nice. At least it'd give me more time to color my art on my slow dying computer. 
NinjaKai
Changed the deadline date to the Tuesday 30th January 2007.
This change has been made since artists are to my assumption working on larger projects. That and I really didn't want to spend my new years pouring over entries. XD

Just to say, I will hopefully be entering the contest, however, I'll be doing so only for the artistic exercise, since I'm sure there are others who would benefit from the prize more than I. So if possible, I'd prefer forfeit the prize when I finally do get my entry done.
I've got a really nice idea for Dwyna ^_^

Personally, I'd like to see some black and white and pencilled pictures. =P
NinjaKai
Like Elemental qouted. I like a great many styles of art. If I was bias I would have reflected that in the rules to ask for a certain style. Every piece of art has even standing with me. Just because a piece is painted or coloured does not mean it has advantage over pencil drawn. I take pride in being open and flexible, everything I do is an extension of that standard.
actionjack made this one sometime ago.. never got any use of it.. might as well as put it up there (as it somewhat fits the theme). maybe will get more people to create. its Chi in Balt armor.
Elemental Cotton
The picture up above my post reminded me to bring up something.. is including a profession that follows a certain god in the entry allowed?
NinjaKai
Elemental your questions been answered. Check the first page Q&A.
Elemental Cotton
Okay, thanks. =)

As an artist I believe in protecting my work with a watermark. Why exactly are you disallowing them?
My friends and myself have had to deal with art theft in the past and it is more than a hassle and a half to get sorted out. What kind of copyright protection are you offering the artists who enter? I've been working on a GW piece for a while now and I thought I would enter it, but if I feel like kids are going to see the piece and go waheyyy cool and put it on their myspace, I'd rather not. :/ NinjaKai
By all means use watermarked text in the corners of your art for general copyright purposes. I simply meant the kind that cover the entire piece of art. I would never discourage artists from protecting their own work. However, there is a difference between protecting your work and making it look like some sampler piece from a catalog.
BeXoR
Watermarks in the corners are too easy to just erase. I usually put my watermark (which is my signature in white, and not solid) over the subject of the piece but in a spot where it doesn't ruin the image. So not in the focal point of the image.
I can show you an example if you'd like. Does that sound alright though?
FeuerFrei
gotta wait till my break before i can enter...would probably be near the deadline too lol

I know you want the art to be emailed to you since you are supplying the key and all, but wouldn't it be nice to see what type of talent we have in this community? Just my opinion, but I would like to see some of the art posted on here, I enjoy looking at what people have made (I know I am not alone on this) and If I posted my entry on here I know I woulld like to see some extra feedback and appreciation for what I put a lot of work into.
BeXoR
The entries are linked in NinjaKai's first post.

Like BeXoR said its on the first post. The lack of submissions on the first post is because there haven't been any new ones. Mostly because people are still working on entries. You can't rush these artists.
Vinsanity
I wasnt saying this to rush them and sry I did not see that they were posted on the front page.
NinjaKai
Hope everyones working hard.
NinjaKai
Why did Grenth cross the road?
Elemental Cotton
So he could get to the 'dead' side of the road.
NinjaKai
To see some body at the morgue.
NinjaKai
Bad joke attempt #2. Why did Melandru run from the party?
ravensong

NinjaKai

rxtracid

ravensong

I have submitted my artwork. I drew dwayna =]
i hadnt planned on doing this contest to be totally honest, i cant draw on photoshop and this was my first real stab at a drawing from scratch but my internet was down a couple of days and It came back to me. I probably could have taken more time on it but i think i wanted to move on to other versions of artwork. (photoshop drawing is HARD! lol) Im definately gonna keep an eye on this thread =] hehe NinjaKai
#1
Very nice piece. #2 Oh and for everyone. If you didn't know. The Guild Wars fansite kit has large images of the 5 avatar forms. http://www.guildwars.com/community/f.../nightfall.php Download character concepts. #3 Bad Joke Number 3 Why does Dwayna hate meteor showers? (3 More to go. How many can you endure. MWHAHAHA)
Ember010

NinjaKai
She just can't stand them.
ravensong
