Cambridge Dictionaries defines a
"swordsman" as:
[Noun] A person skilled in fighting with a swordWhat an utterly boring and appalling discription of a swordsman. A swordsman is so much more than just a black and white discription. For this is the reason why I have created this contest, to see artists defining what a swordsman truly is. This contest is all about designing a swordsman and seeing which artist creates a swordsman that truly stands out above the rest. However remember the focus is the design of both the swordsman and the sword used.
Contest starts: Monday 4th August 2008
Contest Ends: Sunday 31st August 2008If you wish to take part in this contest please make sure you let me knowThis "Design a Swordsman" contest will require you to design a swordsman of your own design that must coincide with the following rules:
RULES FOR THE CONTEST
The swordsman MUST be drawn as a human and can be male or female

The swordsman will be judged on the quality of the design AND the quality of the design of the sword

ALL medias are allowed, including masquerading of yourself dressed as your swordsman

Body modifications are allowed ONLY if achieveable in real life

The sword MUST be the primary weapon, but secondary weapons allowed

Backgrounds NOT needed but allowed

NO sexual content allowed

The Swordsman can be coloured OR shaded in black and white

The swordsman MUST have a name and placed as the title of the deviation

ONE contest entry per person

Existing designs of swordsman made before the start date NOT allowed

Please submit your deviation via note to *
chioky and title it "Contest."
Now this might seem a bit too many rules however, the main focus was to avoid contestants designing swordsman as orcs, elves, angels, devil and other inhuman beings with swords in hand. If the design of the swordsman becomes to fantasy like then it will be difficult to judge how one swordsman is better designed then the others.

Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished.
