SenshiStock’s 5 year Stockaversy is coming up so... It’s time for a new contest! This contest will have two parts to it and you are welcome to participate in either or both.
PART ONE: In Pose Reference Perspective - DONE!!
CLOSED! Congrats to *Tasastock for randomly being selected as the winner!
ENTRIES: [link]
Rules:
- Put on something tight and pretty form fitting. Underwear or a swimsuit is best, but shorts and a tank top will work, too. Whatever is comfortable!
- Take a photo of yourself from some kind of extreme perspective that shows some cool foreshortening. Feel free to get creative with a props or settings!
- The photo should meet DA’s stock guidelines: more than 600px on each side, not too grainy, nothing overtly sexual
- Post the stock photo to the correct Stock & Resources category on DA.
- Send me a note with your entry.
Judging Methods & Criteria:
- The winner was selected at random from all eligible participants, though entering more than once did not give you more chances.
Prizes:
All of the following prizes are awarded to the winner:
PART TWO: In Your Art Perspective - DONE!!
Deadline was December 17th
ENTRIES: [link]
SEMIFINALISTS: [link]
Rules:
- YES! You CAN participate in part two if you didn't do part one!
- Take one of the images created in the first part of the contest (you can find them all here: [link]) and create artwork using the stock as reference or in a manipulation.
- The artwork can be in any medium but it should be a finished work (no sketches or doodles, doesn’t have to be colored but should look refined)
- The theme of the work should be related to your perspective of yourself. Think about what drives you, what makes you who you are, and use the artwork to express something about how you see yourself or the world.
- Be sure to submit your artwork to the correct category on DA.
- Send me a note with a link to your entry.
Judging Methods & Criteria:
- I am going to select 10 semi-finalists from all qualifying entries.
- Semi-finalists will be selected based on how well they represent the pose (with allowance for style and composition) or, in the case of manipulation, how well they modify or use the pose in context.
- Additional consideration will be given to adhering to the theme of 'self-perspective' so artists are encouraged to write a little bit about their work and how it relates.
- The ten finalists will be narrowed down to three Finalists by popular poll.
- I will be selecting the winner from the Finalists.
Prizes:
Everyone who enters this portion of the contest with a qualified image will be eligible to win the following prizes:
All entries must be newly created for both parts of this contest.
*YOU MUST NOTE ME YOUR ENTRY.* This is so I can keep them all organized. DO NOT send your entries in a comment or they will not be qualified.
If you have any questions, just ask! ^__^
