Forums » Art & Creativity » $$~ART CONTEST [Closed]

I've revived a beloved character of mine and want to get him some art. :>

It might be a challenging piece, may not be but I'm opening this up to artists on RPR first (I want to help the community) to see if someone is up for the challenge. Hopefully one of our beautiful and wonderful artists here can help me out! (If not I'll seek elsewhere but I believe in you all!)


Inspiration board:



I'm allowing your creative spin on the armor! Other than the helmet everything is really up to your interpretation, I just like how this piece looks in terms of "Complexity"


We can talk about it.

I've added pieces that need to be there for certain. I'd also like to add more satchels/bags to his person if possible.


Character: http://www.rprepository.com/c/smiles


If you would rather have a typed out description of this character I am happy to oblige.

Deadline: December 12th, 2016.

Requirements: Must be full-body. Must be colored.

You have creative liberty aside from his helmet's faceplate.

You can decide the pose.



First Place: $100 Dollars or Hour Glass of Epicness + 2 Dragon Tooths + Book of Blank Pages

Second Place: $50 Dollars or 2 Wands of Epicness + Dragon Tooth + Book of Blank Pages

Third: $35 Dollars or 1Wand of Epicness + Book of Blank Pages + Dragon Tooth


I'll be rewarding out through Paypal, but we can work other payment methods if that doesn't suit you.

Everyone who enters I will refer them to others to spread the great news about their work so at the very least here is some exposure! (Besides who doesn't like $100 dollars?) I will also add the three top places to my personal artists. (Meaning if I ever have a commission you three would get first dibs)


PLEASE post here if you plan on submitting an entry so I have a list of contestants~

Dude, you're the Knight that Smiles? I always loved that char, but never got a chance to play with him! I'll enter this if I can, as crazy as it's been for me

Zurprise!

Ooh... I might join in on this~

Hmm. I may actually give this a shot as well. It gives me (yet another) reason to delve into armor design and detail.

Totally.. Totally doing this. x:

*** Updated Prizes ***

I might give this a shot. We'll see if I can manage to draw armor.

6 more days contestants! Good luck.

Ahhh, the past two weeks have been horrific for me. Is there any way we could get an extension, maybe into December a little bit? I have had no time, but I really REALLY want to enter!

Sure!

Extension to December 12th! Make the time count!

You're a peach, Ryu!

Sadly, you'll have to remove me from the entries this time around. I thought I had a great idea for your character design but I lost it. Besides, I'm currently without proper coloring software and I suck at traditional coloring. Maybe next time. But good luck to all of the current contestants!

I know it's coming down to the wire, augh! I'm going to wrap up the pic today. The sketch and design is mostly down, so now it just needs some kinda consistent linework and some color.

JUST IN THE KNICK OF TIME

I wish I had time to throw down some shading, but maybe it's best this way, so that none of the detail gets obscured! I dunno! Hope you like it, Ryu!

I love both of the designs so very much!

Since both of you stuck till the end and were the only entries I've decided to award you both with the first place prize.

Please PM me your Paypal information (unless you want RPR goodies)

I'll pay you and then you can send me your artwork to add to my character's page once you get payment.

Cheers!
