In order to foster some creativity and increase people's interest in vexels, ^shebid and ^Jules1983 have decided to host monthly vexel contests. Each month we will be providing the community with a vexel related challenge. This month... we are going to go back in time!

The Objective:

This contest is all about vintage! We ask you to vexel ONE of the following stock pictures:

The Rules:

1. ALWAYS follow the stock artist's rules.
2. Submit your finished entry to the Vexel gallery.
3. Send a note to both ^shebid and ^Jules1983 with a link to your deviation. Subject should be "Vexel Contest Entry". (In your notes, put "shebid, Jules1983" in the receiver(s) box.)
4. Must be a legit vexel.
5. Feel free to add things to the picture, but be sure to either use dA stock (remember, read rule #1) or your imagination (i.e. freehanded).
6. Deadline: May 25th, 2009. Please note that the contest ends on the deadline stated at 11:59:59 PM PST.
7. Not exactly a rule, but worth a mention anyway. Feel free to change colors, clothes, whatever you want. Be as creative as you want to be!

Anything NOT following the stock artists rules and these rules will be disqualified.

You are not exactly sure what a vexel is? Please read this article, and also feel free to browse this favourites collection containing vexel tutorials.

Last but not least...

The Prizes:

Well, since this is a monthly competition, there will be only one winner each month.
The winner will receive a 3-month subscription, a feature in ^Jules1983's journal, and an interview that will be posted as an article.

How are we going to choose a winner, you may wonder. There will be a poll where you may vote for your favourite entry, and then, ^shebid and ^Jules1983 will chose the winner from the entries with the top three votes. The winner will be announced on May 31st.


Questions and/or concerns? Note me, ^Jules1983! Good luck everyone!
