• 
  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!

As much as I loved it, Hateful 8 was 2015.

Even though I've got myself on an art break, I have been itchy to do a piece on the new Jungle Book.

 

[ComicChick]

Thanks. I removed hateful 8. Could've sworn it was this year

I think the competitions are great. The only thing with me is timing. It can take 8 weeks to do a painting, and I have to time it right. Personally I feel the fan art section should add all other kinds of art, to attract members from the other sections of S.H.H, (make it an "art" section that has fan art)as well as people from all over the Internet interested in comic book/movie/tv series type art. You could make the forum the place to be for art full stop. Have featured artists,concept art,comic book art and covers,discussions,you could even see if any of the artists would pop in and show there art and do question and answers etc..you could have a "how too" section with tutorials etc also a critique section,you could also make it a rule any art from films has to go in the art section. Once the fan art forum has been beefed up a bit and more traffic comes this way then more people would be interested in entering the comps and not only entering but engaging in the fan art etc. I think this could be great if done correctly....and I mean GREAT! After all Comic books,superheroes,are all about art...p.s If your stretched for time I can lend a hand.
