Title: Fanart Contest
Post by: Ducky123 on November 25, 2015, 07:32:37 AM
Hello everyone,
Ever since RockingScorpion came up with the idea to host a fanart contest, I also wanted to host one at some point because the challenge is a good motivation for people to pick up their pencil and draw something ;)
Since Christmas is only one month away and Winter about to strike, I have decided to make this contest a winter contest so without further ado, here is your task:

Draw one or several LBT characters in a situation related to the season of winter and/or in a situation related to Christmas.

You may submit more than just one artwork of course but only one will be judged by me.

Of course there ain't no contest without a winner, right? I will pick a Top 3 out of the submissions. I will judge both creativity (as in how deep, emotional, original or just how humorous a submission is) but also the quality. However, creativity is much more important so it'll count more! ;)

Of course a contest also needs a price for the participants so here's my offer: I will allow every participant to ask me for a simple Fanart request (one character). Those who make it into the top 3 will have the opportunity for more complex requests (several characters). :)

As for art mediums, anything goes. If you want to pick up you pen or (coloured) pencil, go ahead. If you wanna use your computer and go digital, feel free to do so. Heck, you may even use clay. Anything goes as long as you are the one who created the work ;)

Deadline will be December 31st 12pm (German time). That should allow everybody to participate even if their schedule is crazy like mine :p

I hope for plentiful participation and that everyone has fun and their creativity gets sparked, yep, yep, yep!

Oh another fanart contest. I might have a go at it. Though I'll probably go for the winter situation. Cause personally I think Littlefoot and co in a Christmas related scenario would!d be kinda silly a
Their in preprehistoric times. were Christmas doesn't exist yet, as humans havent evolved and Jesus hasn't been born yet etc. I'm not really an Anachronism fan. Unless it's time travel.
Anyway I may have some funny winter theme ideas. BTW are we allowed to include OCs?

OC's are okay though it would be nice if at least one of the characters are in the drawing to :)

Here is my entry for this contest. At first I thought putting dinosaurs and x-mas together would be silly and super  Anachronistic. But then I thought of one teeny tiny Christmas tradition, that would make a nice Littlefoot and Ali, and Cera and Bambo pairing art...

Standing under mistletoe!

If I get time I may do another pic for this contest. A more comical one.

I've finished the sketch for it (luckily I'm doing absolutely nothing this week so I have time). I'm going to work as much as I can on it today and hopefully I'll finish it in time for tomorrow. :)

I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to finish my art in time not by a long shot, maybe in a week but there's no promises. My holiday is a lot more eventful then I expected.

I'm in the same boat as The Lone Dragon, my holidays have been crazy :oops
I do love the contest idea, though :yes

Well, I'd really love to see what you guys are going to come up with so you'll have at least another week. I meant to draw something for this contest myself but so far I haven't even started! no motivation to draw :( But I've planned to start tomorrow :p

Kind of getting a feeling of deja vu here As I remember The Rockingscorpion Had to Pose boned The closing dates of his fan art competition.

I sure would like to contribute something but I just can't draw to save my life. Not even sketches. If you would see my handwriting, you would understand... :D

Well, it's a day late, but a last-minute New Year's Eve sleepover meant that I couldn't quite finish the submission on time.

So, here goes nothing:

(http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag122/somerandomfangirl/37914a3a-e292-4057-84d3-fc77961d19aa_zps6obgeyhp.png) (http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/somerandomfangirl/media/37914a3a-e292-4057-84d3-fc77961d19aa_zps6obgeyhp.png.html)

I went for the funnier one this time around since I did an emotional one for the last contest. So after a certain incident where a certain longneck got pelted in the face with a snowball from a certain threehorn, said longneck thinks it's time for some payback. He asks Grandma to distract Topsy for a moment, but she doesn't realise what he's up to until she sees a huge snowball on top of the small hill in front of her, aiming for the unsuspecting threehorn who is on a rant about the weather. :lol

I could go on a rant about some things I'm not happy about, but that's what deviantArt is for, so I'll just wish everyone here a Happy New Year, and thanks to Ducky123 for holding another contest! :DD

Ha nice one somerandomfangirl. Anything bad about to happen to Topsy I love! :)

BTW While I'm at it as I don't have time to make the other pic I was going to do for this contest, I thought I'd tell you what it would have been.

It would have been a mini comic starting with Littlefoot and co singing in a snowy background, then Bambo warns them that they should be singing so loud around snow/ ground sparkles as Mr Thick nose warned them it could cores them to fall down off trees and rock walls etc.. But they just ignore him thinking he's just saying it cause he doesn't like their song and keep singing. Then a big pile of snow would fall on top of them and Bambo would laugh and say 2Well what did I just tell you!?"

Well I might still make it and post it on one of my own fan art topics.
And I like my Littlefoot and Ali and Cera and Bambo under mistletoe more.

Unfortunately, not far at all :oops
A couple of other things I've been working on have been taking longer than planned, so unfortunately I don't think I'll have anything done in time :cry

You ever gonna confirm the winner of this contest?

Post by: Ducky123 on January 26, 2016, 08:22:04 PM
I was hoping Darkwolf and Lone Dragon would be able to finish their planned entries but it doesn't look like it... I have a very busy week so I'll pick the winners at the weekend.
Title: Fanart Contest
Post by: The Lone Dragon on January 30, 2016, 07:25:37 AM
I so sorry but I will be unable to finish submit anything for the contest :sducky :angel  
I lost the motivation to draw and only have a partially finished sketch done.

Now that I won't be posting I will say that the finished drawing would have been a pic of The Gang and their families under a pine tree at night in a snowy field, lit up by fire flies, the shooting star traveling across the sky. Littlefoot and Ali share the same tree star, Petrie does his acrobatics while Cera spends some time with Tricia, Ruby and Chomper are sharing a fish while Spike just eats as much food as he can. Ducky is in the process of receiving a sky colour stone from Trough. All the parents are happily watching the scene.

Overall the drawing was way to ambitious for me and required more skill then I've ever deployed but it also involved drawing the kids relative to the size of the adults which proved to be extremely difficult. I wished but it proved to tricky for me. Anyways good luck to everyone else, seen some nice pics so far.

okay, no prob. To be fair, the same thing has happened to me... I was meaning to submit my own entry at some point but I never got it started...  :oops

Uhh, anyway. We got two entries and I'm not so sure if picking a winner would make much sense here  :unsure:
My suggestion would be that you both get a free request from me as a prize (note, it'll take me a while to finish them ^^). Both of your entries were very creative, funny and original plus they really hit the theme of this contest! It'd be hard to choose a winner out of just two entries...

Let me know if that's alright with you, dalek and SRFG  :exactly

Alright then, thank you for participating  :smile Let me know what your request is and I will try to get it done once my exams are over :yes
Title: Fanart Contest
Post by: Dalekdino on February 02, 2016, 08:01:51 AM
Well I'm not sure what to request yet. You already drew one of my favourite Cera scenes. Her saying "Hee" at the end of LBT 4.
Title: Fanart Contest
Post by: Ducky123 on February 02, 2016, 01:55:27 PM
Well, you can request a drawing whenever you come up with an idea. Doesn't matter if it's tomorrow or in a few months :)

Post by: Dalekdino on February 07, 2016, 02:37:32 PM
I thought I could make my request oisof my favourite cute Ducky scenes. Like the scene where she wiggles her toes in LBT 9.

Well, just a little reminder...

I still owe both of you the prizes for your participation.

@dalekdino: I have actually finished your request very recently. Made the lineart sometime in spring but only coloured it this week :p Since I like to post art in the order I finish it (mind you I have quite some stuff that I still need to upload  :bang ) it might take me a bit longer until I (finally) post it.

@ somerandomfangirl: I'm still owing you a request, got anything for me or something alternative I could do instead? ^^
