Forums » Art & Creativity » OFFICIAL CONTEST: Genre Mascots Art 2014

One of the things that makes the RPR great is the amazing variety of characters and games that are
represented here. By now, the "genre jumble" group on the homepage is quite familiar:

2013's genre mascots


2012's genre mascots


2011’s genre mascots


2010’s genre mascots


But did you know that those characters were all drawn by members? Now it’s time again for a new group of characters to represent our diversity and creativity!
To enter:
Pick one (or more) of the following genres and draw an original character that you think embodies the spirit of that genre.

• Fantasy
• Sci-fi
• Steampunk
• Mutants
• Anthro/Furre
• Cyberpunk
• Superheroes
• Fae
• Creatures: Wolves, Dragons, etc...
• Suggest a new one!

Rules:

1. Must be your own creation.
2. Cannot be a previously made character. The genre mascot must be your original creation made for this contest.
3. You must agree that if chosen, your drawing becomes property of the RPR, to be used on the RP Repository website and on promotional material for the RPR. That means your genre mascot could have the chance to represent us far and wide, on and off the homepage!
4. Large/high resolution images are encouraged!
5. All genre mascots must be appropriate for a PG-13 type audience.
6. Genre mascots should be presented on a transparent background.
7. The entries will be judged based on how well they appeal to their particular genre, creativity, effort, and skill.
8. You may enter more than one image into the genre jumble, and more than one image can be selected to win -- BUT you will only ever have one entry into the winners' raffle.
9. Preference is given toward digital art. Please, no photomanipulations. Absolutely no tracing.
10. Be cautious if submitting a character that is carrying a banner, such as the Geisha in the 2013 jumble -- be aware that this limits how many positions the character can occupy in the final image, and may mean that it is harder to fit and will have to be cut.
11. Number of winners is determined by how many mascots fit in the final image comfortably. This is typically 7 to 10.

The entries will be judged based on how well they appeal to their particular genre, creativity, effort, and skill.

Prizes:

The winning genre mascots will be combined into their own genre jumble, and featured on the home page.
Each person who contributes a character used in the final jumble will receive a 12 month epic membership.
The following prizes will also be raffled off between the winners:

• An additional 3 months of Epicness, on top of the 12 you get automatically as a winner!
• 2 extra character slots
• 5 pages
• MYSTERY GIFT #1
• MYSTERY GIFT #2
• MYSTERY GIFT #3
• MYSTERY GIFT #4
• MYSTERY GIFT #5
• RPR T-shirt (if your size is available -- otherwise a mini mystery!)

Deadline:
May 25th.
