I challenge you! To a photomanipulation contest

*morgie39:iconmorgie39: reports, September 2, 2008
Since I'm really lazy, I haven't been promoting this contest sooooo, I'm going to extend the deadline to Oct 13th (that's an extra month). Hopefully some people will enter it :)

I have decided to issue a challenge to all of you photomanipulators :) Here goes :dance:

Photomanipulatoin Challenge Contest

The Task

Create a photo manipulation using the stock from only one stock artist.

Objective

There are many stock artists that have a diverse gallery and provide photo manipulators with a broad variety of great stock. Through this challenge, I would like to show their diverse talents.

Rules

1. Your image must contain the stock of only one artist. This is a must! Deviations that do not meet this criteria will be rejected (:D that sounds so mean)
2. You must follow the rules of the artist whose stock you use.
3. You may enter up to 5 times.

Deadline
All entries must be new (August 13th,2008 or later) and must be submitted by 11:59pm ET on October 13th, 2008. That's one and a half months so get manipulating! :dance: :dance: :dance:

How’s It Going To Work?

This challenge will have 3 competitive categories and one non-competitive. The categories will be as follows:
Competitive
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced

Non-Competitive
Choose this category if you want to participate in the challenge but do not want to be judged and receive prizes.

Submitting Your Deviation(s)

When submitting your deviations to me, please send me a note with a link to your entry. Also in your note, please state which category you are entering (beginner, intermediate, advanced or non-competitive).

Judges

:iconmorgie39: :iconallykat: :iconcannedebonbon:

Donations and Being a Judge

I would like to have a total of 5 judges for this contest. There are currently 3 judges so I need 2 more people :)
If you would like to donate a prize (no matter the size, journal features, sketches, prints, exclusive stock are all great :dance: ) please note me.

*Please note that if you donate a prize you are still eligible to enter the contest. Judges are not allowed to enter the competition though they can enter the non-competitive category if they would like to participate in the challenge.

Selecting the Winners
The Judges will each choose their top three choices from each category (9 in total). The entries will then be given points for how the judges ranked them, 1 Point for 3rd, 2 points for 2nd and 3 points for 1st. The deviation with the most points will win the category. After the three winners are chosen, all of the remaining deviations from all of the three categories will be subjected to a public poll. The winner of the poll will be the public choice winner.

The judges will make their choices by taking into account the creativity, skill, effort and overall execution of the entries.

Does the stock have to be recognisable as such ?
( ie, for an example there I used 4 differents textures from the same stocker, only the color make them recognizable [link])


What about using my own brushes, backgrounds, images , some fonts ?

I wish there was a random stock feature one DA.

All images used in your deviation must be directly from the one stock artist with only a few exceptions. Anything that you can make in your photo-editing program is allowed to be used in your deviation (i.e. fonts, lighting effects, brushes I will also allow as long as they are your own) Your own things like backgrounds and textures are not allowed to be used because that pretty much defeates the purpose of this contest which is to promote the diverse stock artists on DA.

If you are unsure if you are allowed to use something in your deviation, feel free to note or message me :) Thank you for being interested :blowkiss:

Uh, most of my fonts are from Adobe as well as the standard brushes :) that come with photoshop.
I have a good one that come from DA, though.
Thank you for the explanation, I was thinking of making some text art but it doesnt fit, obviously.

I should have added..."and anything that comes with your photo-editing program" so presets are fair game as well. Also, if you wanted to create something that used no stock at all (i.e. personal stock only) that would also be accepted. :)

How do you chose if the picture is beginner, intermediate or advance?

If up is down and down is up, will up be down or down be up?

:iconb-squaredstock:
It basically has to do with how comfortable the artist is with whatever media they are using. For example, if a person who is amazing at photomanipulation like =CSnyder or *Pygar entered a photomanip in this contest, I would expect that they would likely fall into the advanced category since they know what they are doing. It would be different if they decided that they were going to enter a digital painting, since it is not their forte they are somewhat of beginners and I would expect them to enter into either the beginner or intermediate category.

The categories are pretty much determined by how much of a handle you think that you have on the certain technique that you are using. if you are trying something new, then enter the beginner category, if you think you are pretty decent at what you are doing, enter intermediate and if you think you know exactly how to execute what you are doing, enter advanced.

The categories don't really have anything to do with how good a deviation looks. Somebody could have never drawn before but decided to and entered this contest in the beginner section even though they just so happen to be awesome at drawing. Likewise, a traditional artist could decide to enter a photomanipulation, having never done one before, have it come out looking amazing and still enter it in the beginner category since they are a beginner at photomanipulation.

Hopefully that helps :blowkiss:
:iconanemarsii:
Thank you!
