[ComicChick]

BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CONTEST PLEASE READ ALL THE RULES!
(Print them out if you need to for future reference)

THE THEME:
Arcade



If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send CC a PM!​

• 
  THE RULES:
• Contest is open to EVERYONE
  note: to ensure no one is "cheating", no members joining the month of the contest is eligible to win the prizes that month.
• One entry per artist. Try and be as ORIGINAL as possible, do it in pencil, crayon, markers, action figures, Photoshop whatever you are comfortable with. Photo-manips are allowed. For example: manip’ing Wolverine using photos is OK – but be sure and tweak it creatively. I don’t want to simply see a cut and paste that looks like it took you 5 mins, that’s not very creative. Using art/photo reference is okay, I just don't want to see anyone directly COPY an existing piece of ARTWORK... and please credit your sources!
• 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!
• Please keep the comments and critiques as FAIR as possible. Remember however 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.
• Any pieces of art that have been entered in previous contests are not allowed
• IMAGE HOSTING - You will need to host your own image and link it here in this thread.
  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a PM!

ONLY IMAGES CREATED BY YOU AND POSTED ONLY IN THIS THREAD ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CONTEST. By entering the contest you are agreeing that the artwork submitted is original and created by you the artist, and by posting an image you are open to critique!

GOOD LUCK!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a PM!

[ComicChick]

if anyone needs clarification on the theme. Arcade represents and character(s) who have been in a video game. While that of course includes most comic characters, this also opens things up to variety of other fandoms etc such as;

Double Dragon
Sonic
Metal Gear Solid
Call of Duty
Uncharted/Nathan Drake
Fallout
Tomb Raider
Grand Theft Auto
Final Fantasy
World of Warcraft
Assasin's Creed
The Last of Us
Megaman
Pokemon
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Mario
Donkey Kong

the possibilities are nearly endless!

 

[The Avenger]

Would Iron Man count? May have a pic I've almost finished to enter.

 

[MadderMaximus]

He's been in games, I think even the old school Avengers arcade, so I believe he'd count

 

[MadderMaximus]

There's so many games for me to choose from that I'd like to do, but Metroid/Samus is one I've already done so I gotta cross that off my list :P

[MadderMaximus]

I just got my board gesso'd, probably going to play some games to get myself jazzed up and decide on what for my subject.

Looks great, Avenger.

 

[ComicChick]

^^^I like that idea. To make it like a lottery. The more entries, the bigger the reward.

Did I ever enter my Tron poster?

 

[MadderMaximus]

Tried to get a better photo, but it's pretty difficult with light bouncing off of it, or too little light. Shame I don't have a scanner big enough for it, but I guess this will have to do :/
