Vietnamese Drawing Contest

~viet-nam:iconviet-nam: reports, September 2
"Vietnamese Comics" - Have you ever heard this word?

It has been so a long time since the last Vietnamese magazine for comics was postponed being published with the regret of billions of readers, all of them retired to practise more and more together with the hope that they will reappear one day. But the long-draw-out disapperance of Vietnamese Comics seems to make us feel the void, even discouragement. So, in order to follow the spirit of the Indepandence Day of Socialist Republic of Vietnam 2/9, commemorate the 1st Birthday of VNComicFarm - a community reserved only for Vietnamese Comics, simultaneously to congratulate the Collection of Vietnam's Arts ([link]) is ranked among the top collections of DA several days, to stir the air of Vietnamese Comics' friends up, DeviantArt Vietnamese Community and VNComicFarm co-ordinate to hold:

Manga/Anime "Most Improved Artist" Contest

^azarath:iconazarath: reports, August 29, 2007
Presenting the Most Improved Manga/Anime Artist contest!

Here's how it works. Take an old drawing - something uploaded and in your gallery in the year 2005 or 2006 - and redraw it to the best of your ability. The same character, pose, outfit, background and etc., but using the skills you've picked up in the last year or two to make it look better than ever.

CONTEST RULES:
:bulletred: You have to present both images when submitting to the contest. I.e., the picture has to be something already in your DA gallery from 2005 or 2006. You submit both links when entering. Include a link to the old image in the description of your contest submission (This is very important!).
:bulletred: Upload the image to the following gallery: contests & projects > contests > 2007 > Manga/Anime Artist. This is also very important!
:bulletred: This is a contest by the Manga/Anime gallery, so the art style used (at least for the new image) should be as such.
:bulletred: You can use any media to recreate the image. It doesn't have to be the same media as the old image.
:bulletred: The new image has to resemble the old one in content, but will hopefully show a great improvement in skill and technique. :)

Those we feel who show the greatest leap forward in skill will win! There will be three winners and prizes!

:bulletgreen:First Prize: A one-year subscription OR a DevWear shirt of your choice (hoodie excluded)
:bulletgreen:Second Prize: 6-month sub OR print of choice (up to $20)
:bulletgreen:Third Prize: 3-month sub OR DevArt Lanyard

The deadline is TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY! Wednesday, September 12th, 2007!

If you have any further questions please leave a comment or drop a note to ^azarath. Thanks, and good luck!

(While you're at it, check out the Comic & Cartoon gallery's inking contest!)

Another one? Let's see how this one goes first. =D Maybe other galleries will, who knows.

I think fanart would be fine, as long as it's anime/manga style I think it should be ok. :)

I'd rather it be something from back then, that we we can prove that it's that old. But that would be unfair to the people who've only joined this year. So yes, I guess I can let that go too as long as it's uploaded to your Scraps or something. =D

There's scanners in Uni's computer room... But since my oldest drawing is Naruto & Hinata (the horror) if i were to redo that one i wouldn't want anyone to see it in the computer room :giggle: I hate people saying "OMG A DRAWING? SHOW ME, SHOW ME! HEY BOB/LOU/LAMENAME! LOOK, SHE DRAWS... STUFF! A WEIRD GUY WITH WHISKERS AND A DUMB LOOKING GIRL!!!!".

... I get embarrassed over stupid things easily, yes! XD It's not really because it's Naruto, because no one that i know has ever heard about anime or manga, but still. I don't like people surrounding me over things like that >>

So yep, mouse will be the solution. And also, i have improved my anatomy and stuff, but the thing i've improved on the most is digital painting, so the improvement will be more evident if i do it digitally, even with a sad mouse :)

Haha sorry for the rant.
