How would you have painted DaVinci's Mona Lisa? Show me using only Vectors.

TO BUT IT SIMPLY... PHOTO YOURSELF OR FRIEND AND SEND IT TO ME. AND GET DRAWING FROM THE PICTURE !!!

-----------------------------
JUDGIN:
I'am the judge. I may ask opinion about certain things from my friends but the final decision is made by me.
------------------------------
IMAGE/JUDGING CRITERIONS:
Person in that image can be you or your friend, mom or any person you can foto and is fotoed for this competition. No limitations in any way just full face shown. But other tips to get better standing on competiton. And more surely win a drawing. Dont cut the picture from your fore head, or any other critical point. It can be full shot from your body. So it doesn't have to be face shot. I like interesting people so make yourself look interesting... funny costume or make-up, the enviroment can be special... clothing is something unique or special... MAKE IT POP FROM THE POP. So it doesn't have to be normal you... it can be full color or black & white B&W is better for me...
and the judging will happen with in 2 weeks after the dead-line expires.(if im not totally covered with work)
------------------------------
POSTING THE IMAGE: THESE ARE THE TIGHTEST RULES IN THIS COMPETITION SO READ CAREFULLY.YOU MIGHT GET DISQUALIFIED FOR NOT DOING THESE THINGS. Ask if any questions.
You have to post it on Deviantart. Chose gategory to be best fit to your picture. In tittle you have to write >>FOR DEF'S COMPETITION<< you can add other stuff in but that is must read.
In description there should be read in first this >>THIS IS MY ENTRY FOR DEFTONYS-MUSE'S :ICONDEFTONYS-MUSE: COMPETITION<< if you dont know how to make that icon write : icondeftonys-muse : without spaces. All the other info you can enter after that text
and after that send note to me titled CONTEST ENTRY.
----------------------------

----------------------------
PRIZE:
5 to 10. Depends on number of competitors.Will get a Drawing from ME Drawing will be from the photo you'we taken. Quality of the drawing will be 2-4 hours each. Or more if i get too excited.
And i tought it would be best that there is ONE grand prize. So the BEST picture will get really hi-quality drawing from me. 10-20 hours.
I can send the drawings if it's a total must. But i dont take any fault if post messes the delivery.
-----------------------------
Reason for title rules is to get as many people join as possible. If you can advertise this fun by fave this "news". Or any other means I'd apreciate it
i hope you have fun taking pictures from you and your partners.
you should read that FAQ better dummy... another wannabe smart-ass...
if you didn't read this contest thing it's your fault... if you did and didn't understand that it's photographing contest in short terms... theme is peoples... what more you can add to make it look more contest... LOL dummy as i said...
this time there's no lame prize like subscription... something personal this time...
all i was saying was that he should get other sponsors involved, otherwise, no one would really take notice of it...and you can try to say its not a self promotional thing, but show me one link to one other person.
i was trying to help by saying, get some others involved and whatnot. and make another news article when he did so, but he doesnt want to even take that advice and instead calls me a "dummy", which i tell you, hurt my feelings really bad....sarcasm
My contest only involved me right up untill the deadline this week when someone donated some prizes because she couldn't enter...didn't mean it wasn't a contest though, it still had a theme, prizes, rules....
Why can't a contest be run by only one person, some of us aren't popular enough to have vast amounts of people donate cash/subscription prizes, some of us have to make do with our own art and hope that they or the theme are good enough to generate entries.
you'd be suprised..just approach people in the same genre...ask them if theyd be interested in being a contributor...
im not rich by any means...and i hope you all the best. i can barely get my own account to be subscribed and im not popular as some others. if there was more people involved to sponsor, thered also be more publicity, so why attack me for trying to help? geez...don't take my advice, it wont hurt my feelings. but, i will say lashing out at me wont help your cause very much...it just shows that the contest is being run by people who are overly emotional and unable to take advice, which you see as constructive criticism. im not going to reply any more. ive wasted enough time trying to help and being lashed out at by a couple of people who are unwilling to move forward, take the opinion, which im allowed to have, and learn from for in the future.
You wouldn't be getting messages from people if you weren't so rude in your initial message and subsequent messages.
The idea that a contest is not a contest unless its got prizes from more than one person is silly, a contest is a contest no matter how it is arranged. Its only not a contest if the result is fixed before it began or there was only one entry. I'm not saying the idea of getting donations is stupid, it would be fabulous to be able to get them but not everyone can but it doesn't mean we aren't allowed to announce are contests just the same.
And I object greatly to what you have just inferred about me given I'm the only other commenter. I'm not stupid or stubborn, I'm just realistic and I also felt this contest needed defending for it is a wonderfully original theme.
I'm not running this contest anyway, I just faved it because I like it and want to enter. My contest was about dragons and frogs and got about 50 entries (36 news faves and 83 news comments) before the other person donated prizes which proves that contests run by only one person can be popular.
A collection of the most beautiful and amazing square photographs I found among my favourites. Please have a look and give these artists the attention they deserve!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
