BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CONTEST PLEASE READ ALL THE RULES!
Welcome to the SuperHeroHYPE Fan Art Contest!
THE CONTEST:
STEAMPUNK HEROES - Thats right 'steampunk' - Loosely defined as: The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.
You can Wiki it HERE - I encourage all of you artists to research it - I have fallen in love with the concept and thought it would make a challenging theme!
(*)If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send EXCELSIOR a PM!
THE RULES:
One entry per artist. Try and be as ORIGINAL as possible, do it in pencil, crayon, markers, action figures, Photoshop whatever medium you are comfortable with. Using art/photo reference is okay, I just don't want to see anyone directly COPY an existing piece of ARTWORK... PHOTO-MANIPS are allowed this month! But please be creative with your manips - simply coloring Batman red or pasting him on the moon won't cut it! - Your entry should be posted HERE in this thread. Using artwork created by someone else and claiming it as your own will not be allowed - and that entry will be disqualified. Originality is always key!
(*)If you are banned at the close of the contest your entry will be disqualified!
And please keep the comments and critiques as FAIR as possible. Remember by posting your entry you are open to critique!
ONE ENTRY PER ARTIST!
Take your time and show 'em your best work, try to avoid posting works-in-progress. (Any duplicate entries may be deleted without notice from the thread). You may want to check the thread occasionally to see that your entry is still posted, any entries not showing at the close of the contest may be disqualified. Also if you choose to 'team-up' with another artist then you must clearly state both names with the entry and who did what.
IMAGE HOSTING
All entries should be posted here in this thread.
You will need to host your own image and 'hotlink' the image URL to this thread.
Entries must be visible in this thread - posting a text link only your entry can be missed!
