A proposal for all my fellow artists out there:
I am putting up a contest! Whosoever wishes can colour this piece in whatever way they like, with whatever medium. I will go through all submissions, and the winner of the contest will receive a free commission from me.
If you wish to partake in this little contest of mine, e-mail me at
[email protected], and I will send you a cleaned-up, larger version of this lineart. When you are finished colouring, mail your results to the same address.
For now, the deadline is August 29th, 2005. If I get a lot of contestants, the deadline may be lengthened.
Also, please post your critiques for this piece, as I intend to make it into my own painting for a good friend of mine. (With my very own, already-decided colouring job...)
AS AN ADDITION!
Please PLEASE do not use my address for ANYTHING other than the contest mails. I know e-cards and invitations to chat sites and such things as that are all from the goodness of your hearts, but they cause spam, and that would mean I'd be changing my e-mail address... Not only spam, but viruses, for that matter, and I don't like them. Then again, if you have a virus and you mail me, I'm likely to get it anyway. This is turning into a rant. Anyway, if you want to write me a letter (except the select few of you who already know who you are) please PM me. This is VERY important to me, ok? Much love!
I like the challenge you issued too, I bet you'll get some great results. I would venture to submit my own take on the color but alas I am dreadful at coloring. The hair on these two is captivating, it flows brilliantly as does the upright lovelies dress. Excellent work.
I have saved the small version, and might have a go myself if I can find the time :*
I am trying to finish that picture of Alex as a wizard, and today I started a portrait of my sister etc. But colouring this with no anatomy worries might prove to be a relaxation for me. *Hugs!*
The larger version is done and ready...
OK! So send me an e-mail. Remember, part of the judging will be based on creativity.
