Okura's Journal


I've been requested by a few people (about 3-4) wanting to enter the contest, that have had some difficulty getting a chance to complete something (IE: Computer/Tablet issues, Moving house, School exams) that have requested a month's extension on the deadline for the contest, until the start of April.

I understand their problems and such, but to the artists who have already worked to complete a picture, I wanted to ask if this was all fine by you?
I don't fully want to make you wait too long, but I also don't want to force these people to miss out for reasons beyond their control.

So, I'm just asking, was there anyone else who feels they could benefit from a small extension, and to those that have entered, do you mind much if there is a bit of an extension?



Art Contest


The competition is simple and open to anyone who wants to enter.
All you need to do, is select a scene, any scene of your choice, from my comic, Rings of Time, and create a picture based on that scene yourself. It can be any scene that occurs during the course of the comic, as long as the scene does happen.
You can use any media you want; digital, hand-drawn, whatever.


Prizes

First Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $50US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Colour Request of up to Three Characters with background

Second Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $30US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Colour Request of a Character with background

Third Place
:bulletgreen: Up to $25US for whatever winner would like
:bulletred: A Black and White Request of a Character with background

Three Runner Up Prizes
:bulletgreen: Single Character sketches




Rules


:bulletblue: Your own original work please. No using other people's art or taking panels from the comic.
:bulletblue: Backgrounds are optional, but remember that you are trying to capture that scene in the comic. A good use for a picture of just characters and no background would be something that's heavily based on the characters (IE: Fleeing the Meg could work without a BG).
:bulletblue: Must be a scene from the comic please. You can design the scene anyway you like, but nothing like Tiare sinking the Titanic or such please.
:bulletblue: If you wish to use a character that is not one of my own (Black Leviathan, Cariu, Puck, Kameira, etc...), please contact the artist whom owns the character for permission. Links to their dA pages are on the pages the characters appear on. It's only fair, as you are going to draw their characters.


The Character Reference List is below and will be updated as I get more done.

If you extend it, don't extend it again. Don't needa continously extending deadline, after all! ;p

If anyone else needs a extention after extending it once, then you deal with them on a case-by-case basis, perhaps leaving the judging for a month later, or etc [but don't tell everyone that!] so people really having trouble can still get something in.

The only thing that stands between you and your dreams is yourself.
...and maybe a trans-dimentional and/or time machine.

That would be great! ^^ I want to enter the contest aswell, but still couldn't finish my entry for personal reasons. :( Some time more would be perfect. :)

Ha, two of those three reasons are because of me aren't they? XD Tablet issues should be resolved a week or so after I get back from Tenerife which would only give me a few days to come up with something for the contest but I've managed something like that before! XD Oh and I have a moving date now - 18th February. That's only 9 days away =(
:iconchaotica-i:
That is ok with me... although I agree with :iconmicksam7: that it if you grant an extension, it should be extended only once... after all, you did announce this contest quite a long time ago.
:iconaquaorca:
An extension would be nice...but it's your contest :).

So that's it, then? That's the secret grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow. You spent three days lying on a beach, drinking rum? :o
:ahoy: Welcome to the Caribbean, love. :sun:
:iconbarbaramoran:
it would be a nice idea... anyway I didn't get my stuff to work yet and enough time :( I still being very busy this month :(
