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

THE CONTEST:
INTERGALACTIC

Here's your chance to take on a challenge that's out of this world! There are so many fandoms that take place in outer space (or galaxies far, far, away) or characters who come from another planet that we can really have some fun with this one.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send CC a PM!


  • THE RULES:
  • Contest is open to EVERYONE
  • 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!

Sounds like fun! Now that I've got all my technical difficulties worked out, I'll be able to enter!

And best wishes for a full recovery from whatever ails you, CC!
 
how does Indy fall under the intergalactic category?
 
Fair enough

I must've blocked that horrid film from mind lol

completely understood, cause yeah it was real bad. that was the summer when the indy movie was about aliens, but the x-files movie was about religion. it's like they got their lines crossed or something
 
Here's mine:
Can't decide which to post so here are both same theme.

nice job jaymes, but you will have to select one to submit :)
 
after the next entry is submitted, i will reveal another of the prizes :)
 
Does it have to be a picture ? Because i've just finished building this, i think it's classed as fan art :P ?
Apparently being new means i can't open a thread :(

Cool., I did it. Am I still allowed to win this competition? It's not very 'intergalactic' really. Just Superman and Venom...
 
i contacted you via PM. please check that

since this piece has been published before, if you are actually the artist in question, i don't think it should be allowed in the competition. any pre-existing published works by anyone for that matter
 
Is there a chance I could win this with some type of mashup of Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys? Or are we art fascist around here that only like pictures? :o

Yeah I agree.

Media: 95% Copic/Mexpy Markers 4.95% Color Pencil/Guache touch ups, .5% digitally added lens flare.

References used, such as a glamour shot of Amber Heard, Kraid and Ridley, primarily for accuracy and poses. Other references were used, but primarily for details - like Samus' suit (various references, so many different suits) other creatures, chozo ruin, planet zebes, Samus' ship.
