CONTEST: Draw your Favorite Game/Anime/Original Character as other characters or ZOMBIES!

Deadline: October 31, 2011 (CLOSED)[/color]

Theme: What makes cosplaying as gruesome Amnesia monsters or putting on legit Batman underwear and mask and going out into public fun? The fact you can instill both fear and disturbing comments like, "Dude, you need to get a life" of course! [/b]

Draw anyone! -Your favorite anime characters, game characters, your aunt Maria, or original characters, and put them in Pokemon, superhero, fat suits, zombie costumes- you name it! Just make sure to get a real laugh/scare while drawing it.

Rules:
1. Only 1 submission per user
2. When October 31, 2011 12:00 AM passes, submissions are closed for the contest. I do not take late work, no matter how good you are. :)
3. No overly explicit material allowed. Come on, we do not want to put porn on the main site!

Scoring Guidelines:
Originality: 40 points
Example: http://www.kakamanna.com/pictures/halloween-cat.jpg
- Do not just put a costume on a person and make him/her stand there. There has to be something scary/hilarious/special about the costume/person that makes people say, "I would have never thought of that!" Make it really express the true spirit of Halloween!

Skill: 30 points
Example: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs21/f/2007/302/4/6/Halloween_2007_by_muhoho_seijin.jpg
- You can use crafts, digital mediums, traditional mediums(etc.) to express this theme, but you need skill to make it look good! Whatever style you work with, whether anime or realism, make it synchronize with your idea, and your skill will inevitably show.

Background: 20 points
Example: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/282/0/3/Halloween_Tree_by_jerry8448.jpg
- That is right. For those of you want decent points for this category and stink at making acceptable backgrounds- you better start practicing. What type of Halloween is without the eerie Halloween atmosphere (ex: cemeteries, pumpkins, slime...etc)? The character may be the center, but the background is what really sets up the Halloween atmosphere!

Colors: 10 points
Example: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs19/f/2007/301/3/c/Halloween_by_DensenManiya.jpg
- Color can bring out fire in the eyes of angry zombies, faces of moonlit werewolves, and teeth of hungry vampires. This is not only to help make your picture more appealing, but also to help stray from simple flat colors. However, this category is incredibly wavered because extremely black and white schemes can definitively go with the current theme.

Prize:
1rst Place:
-Putting your winning picture on the site news/main-page (this will be an alternative to those who still do not completely qualify for featured pictures or are too new to be popular)

Note:
- Send contest information (whether you will enter, questions, links to entries) to either this picture, the forum post, or my profile
-You can draw multiple characters on this entry (There is much leeway to draw practically any Halloween idea in this theme!)

Post any questions! If not, be lost in a void of confusion, laughter, and pointing fingers. Good Luck!

Winner:
1st Place: http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-813949.html
Name: _ren_tao_fan_
Originality: 32/40
Skill: 28/30
Background: 17/20
Colors: 8.7/10
Total: 85.7
- With gruesome, bloody cut limbs, evident ribs and intestines,an obvious mastery of MSPaint, and a knack for drawing different art styles, this Halloween picture makes you look at your favorite childhood cartoon characters a little differently afterwards...

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/2319/hallowenkoji2011.png By golly, judging this contest was a jerk! Everyone had different views of Halloween; some were fun, cute, hilarious, and bloody/gruesome! Thus, the points were too close for comfort. Literally, the winner won by .3 points. If you look at the median of points, people were beating each other by .4, .6, and sometimes .2. Thus, you are all equally fabulous artists! I hope everyone had a fearful/toothached Halloween! See you next contest!

BlossomHeartWAIT!! I didn't read!! *starts stressing again* aaarrrgg Why do I Never ever read this stufff! >< New one New one o_o

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 4:55:25 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222WAIT! Duh....what I can deduce from all that freaking out is that you were able to access a computer through school, but you do not have the cool materials (you only have lame markers). -But now you have finished the picture, and now all I have to do is wait for it to be approved and pop up in your gallery?

AM I RIGHT?! TELL ME!!!

BlossomHeart on October 17, 2011, 5:18:29 AM

BlossomHeartNOO! xD I didn't read so Now I am making anotherone o_o!!

Awesome huh xD

luckylace222I was wondering about that entry! I was thinking, "This is adorable! ...But she missed the premise completely!" xD -But you will still get a comment on it- oh yes you will!

_ren_tao_fan_ on October 13, 2011, 12:26:11 PM

_ren_tao_fan_ on
_ren_tao_fan_Heyyyyyyyyyy Lucky. Is it okay for me to make my entry... like... really really graphic? Cuz I can tone it down a notch if need be. :P

luckylace222 on October 13, 2011, 1:15:23 PM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222Of course it can! It can be as gory, putrid, vomit-inducing, bloody messy as it can! It just cannot be explicit.

Lol, I love my rules. "You can have it as nasty and gory as you want. Just do not make it porn."

_ren_tao_fan_ on October 14, 2011, 12:51:43 PM

_ren_tao_fan_ on
_ren_tao_fan_I'm not thinking sexually graphic. Gross, man. D:
I vant BLOOD AND GUTSSSSSSS.
K then? :3

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 1:35:28 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222On a side note, if you go for zombie porn, now you are just mind-freaking the judge. I'll be all, "But it is not completely explicit, and it does partially fit the horror bill, but it would be weird on the mainsite, but it does not matter if it looks good, and I like horrible monster porn as much as the next personnnnnn"

_ren_tao_fan_ on October 17, 2011, 6:56:26 AM

_ren_tao_fan_ on
_ren_tao_fan_I am not brave enough for ze horrible monster porn. :T

diblover10i have a question, how many points do you think this will get?
http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-813337.html
I am NOT entering this as the contest pic, it's a sneak peek and i want to know because, well, i have no idea if i'll finish my contest pic in time, and this will be my back-up, since I already completed it. Please let me know. Thanks. C:

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 2:14:42 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222Hey! If you finished a part of your Halloween picture already, you are already more well on your way to finishing the picture on time than others!

Now, I actually assign points to every picture after all entries are in. Points are given relative/compared to other pieces because how would you know the really good and really bad if you do not have all the entries? Thus, I cannot make an accurate point statistic for your picture, but I can tell you ranges.

Since there is not decent background just yet (flat color with only small gradient in between), you would most likely get around 1-3 points for Background. Because coloring and shading is evident on the head and even eyes 4-5.5 (the more characters you have in there without making it look awkward, the more points you will get). Creativity would be around 9-13. Skill would be around 5-12.

Thus, your score range for just that picture would be a 19-33.5. ;) Once you have a sort-of finalized product, I cannot give anymore point estimates to make sure it is fair for the rest of the contestants!

diblover10k thanks very much! :)

luckylace222You do not have a computer?! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *freaks out with you* You do not access to Open Canvas, and we must wait to be astounded by your awesome art?! ;-; Did you computer get a virus? Is that why you have to wait for another one?

It better come before Halloween- or the Boogie Man will get them!

Wait, how did you access this website without a working computer? If you are at the library, ask them if they have a scanner. If you computer still does not come in time, you will at least have a traditional picture to show off!

ZeroMidnightI still haven't even started mine! Dx I know what I would like to make, but haven't got it envisioned well enough yet..

(I love this halloween pic btw, so glow-y and awesome~!)

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 1:49:45 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222It is alright! Do not freak! *freaks out herself* AH!

You still have 14 days left to submit! That is about 2 weeks- enough time to make crazy/creepy Halloween mega-man worlds and freak fire walls and....a zombie Zero! Or something cool like that! (it would be really weird if you were thinking of drawing exactly that)

When I have an idea but cannot envision it well, I take out some scratch paper and just experiment-draw perspectives and people with the idea. Putting things on paper is much more productive than just trying to think/visualize it in your head! That is a loner's job home diggity!

Thank-you! I rushed a great deal on this picture because of school classes (I have midterms and smaller exams soon >:U No one will bother me!). When the Christmas contest comes, I am going to have ask one of the other FAC staff to host that one because I do not have time! I was also talking to some staff about possibly putting a special emblem on the winning contest picture (like the featured star), but I am not sure if it will get approved. We will have to see.

I digress. Good luck!

ZeroMidnightWeird indeed, that is damn close to what I'm drawing. 0.0

I did that a little, it has helped some. :) I'm going to try sketching more prototypes contest entries and find the type I like. :D

^^ Best of luck to you too! *hugs*

ShadzGirlSo doing this~.CREEPYPASTA STYLE~.

And holee fish,those Shadows are adorable~~.

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 2:00:33 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222I just imagined you drawing man eating pasta! And now I imagine myself drawing man eating pasta! >:U -And linguine eating human legs!

Yeah, heartless are fun, cute, and easy character to draw! i added them in there not because they were an easy way to take up space (*cough*), but because I am genuinely a genius artist. (*cough cough cough*)

YOU BETTER BE GETTING TO THAT CREEPINESS GURL- your crazy awesome sexy avatar already sets up the atmosphere. (seriously, that is SEXY. I need to draw an avatar like that!)

ShadzGirl on October 17, 2011, 2:08:22 AM

ShadzGirl on
ShadzGirlPURPLE PEOPLE EATING.....PASTA!:D

Ehahahaha,oh you~.xD

THE CREEPINESS IS BEING GOTTEN TO~.
And,I love mine avie,too,D always does such amazing work~.(Yes,do that!:D)

ModifiedDevice on October 15, 2011, 2:33:27 AM

ModifiedDevice on
ModifiedDeviceThis sounds sooo awesome~
(*A*) it's just... I have too many characters in my mind that I may not be able to choose one to work for this competition xD OH MAAAAN~

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 1:52:28 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222What! Too many characters? THEN DRAW ALL OF THEM. (legitimate argument) XD

You could dress these normally light-peaceful looking OCs into darker, more depressed versions and put them all together in a nice evil scenery. OhhhhhOoHOOooooooooo~ the more characters you can put in there without it looking awkward, the higher points you get for skill/points in general! Having too many characters may just be an advantage!

CreamandPoppufan166 on October 14, 2011, 1:42:47 PM

CreamandPoppufan166 on
CreamandPoppufan166I'm going to try entering this... I already have an idea for my entry xD

luckylace222 on October 17, 2011, 1:41:01 AM

luckylace222 on
luckylace222Great! (Btw, your username is quite adorable ;u;) Sometimes I am interested in a contest, and I am like, "BAh- what am I specifically supposed to draw?!" -And then I just wing it...like much of my art. I really need to plan more out. MAKE A COMPLETELY PLANNED PIECE WITH A ROUGH DRAFT OR SOMETHING. I digress though!

Having a set idea is already so great! This way, if you notice the idea is not what you truly wanted, you have time to add and change it! Good luck! boboboobo

luckylace222Why don't you submit the DA picture to FAC? ;P That way, one does not have to worry about looking at "outside" sources while judging. I like to keep contest entries within the website it is hosted in.
