An Urgent Call to Emoticonists

^PurpelBlur:iconPurpelBlur: reports, 5h 39m ago
Emoticonists $eStunt needs your help! You could even win prizes!!

"We're looking to replace a couple more emotes in the Emoticon Legend. We are in need of revamps for the following emotes, made originally by ~---josh---, who is no longer active in the community and has left deviantART.
:lightbulb: :snowflake: :kiss: :horny:

We're doing this to facilitate the transition between the Legend and the Dictionary. Yes, the Dictionary is still on the project slate, but at the moment we're continuing to refine Portfolio, Groups, and Search/Browse. Hang in there, emote fans! Our day will come."

The "Design a Swordsman" Contest

*chioky:iconchioky: reports, August 4, 2008
Cambridge Dictionaries defines a "swordsman" as:

[Noun] A person skilled in fighting with a sword

What 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 2008


If you wish to take part in this contest please make sure you let me know

This "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

:bulletblue: The swordsman MUST be drawn as a human and can be male or female

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

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

:bulletblue: Body modifications are allowed ONLY if achieveable in real life

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

:bulletblue: Backgrounds NOT needed but allowed

:bulletblue: NO sexual content allowed

:bulletblue: The Swordsman can be coloured OR shaded in black and white

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

:bulletblue: ONE contest entry per person

:bulletblue: Existing designs of swordsman made before the start date NOT allowed

:bulletblue: 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.

Judges of the Contest

:iconchioky: :iconneonlare: :iconmetroidmaniac:

Prizes of the Contest

The first place winner of the "Design a Swordsman" contest gets to have first pick on the prizes. Then the second place winner gets to have the second pick of the prizes. Finnaly the third place winner receives the left over prize. The prizes are as following:

:star: 3 Month Subcription
:star: 1 Month Subscription
:star: 1 DA Key Ring


If anyone needs more clarification, don't be embarrassed to ask questions!

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