Title: Unofficial July 2010 LBT Fanart Contest!
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 30, 2010, 02:16:33 AM
For July, I am setting up an unofficial contest in remembrance of The Land Before Time.

All entries for this contest will be put into my next video.  So, I shall simply make a slide-show of all the entries.

The rules are simple.

1. Every entry must contain at least one character from the franchise.  Let's face it.  It wouldn't be a picture of The Land Before Time without one of the characters.  So please, put at least one of them in.

2. No Porn, period! I think we can all agree on this one.  No porn, bottom line.  I will accept romantic moments, but not ones that go THAT far.

3. It can be made from anything.  Be it Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, I'll even accept a picture of a drawing on a piece of paper.  No matter what it's made from, I'll accept it.

4. All entries you make must have your name on it.  For those that would like to keep their identity more private, I will allow you to put on a nickname of sorts.  Other than that, just make sure your name is on it.  This will allow me to have a much easier time giving credit to those that deserve it.

5. All entries must be put into a special Drop Box.  I created a Drop Box for this ahead of time.  Go to the following address, scroll down to find the Drop Box and put it in there.

http://thelandbeforetimewd.com/TLBT-Fanart-Contest.php (http://thelandbeforetimewd.com/TLBT-Fanart-Contest.php)

You can show it off on this forum and other places if you like, but just make sure to put it into the Drop Box for it to be an "official" entry for the contest.

All entries must be received by July 31, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST. I will not accept any entries later than that.  You can put them into the Drop Box after that time, they just won't be accepted.

So, hope you guys will enter and assist me on this huge "Fan Project" of mine.  Thanks to all those who enter.

Oh, and one last thing.  It won't just be you guys entering.  I will also be putting an announcement of this on YouTube.  So yeah, you have quite a bit of competition for this.  I'm just giving you guys a bit of a head start.

So, best of luck everyone!  See ya! :)

Oh, and yes, I will be putting in my own entry, when it's done.

Hmm so you're giving us all freedom here, not some kind of theme or something ? I mean that would be more fun :D

Edit:

I entered Littlefoot Reference Sheet

I feel it to be more fair with there being no theme, whatsoever.  This will allow others to continue to brainstorm with ideas and show off their creativity with ideas.  Many contests that are official don't have one, so I don't see the need for one even if it's unofficial.

In one way, you could say there already is one, based on TWO specific rules.  That being, at least one LBT Character and the NO PORN rule.  So... yeah!

Anyways, yeah!  No theme!  Have fun with that! :)

Both entries have been received!  You guys can put in more if you like. :) (In truth, there's no limit to the number of entries you can put in.)

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention...  There is a prize involved for that which wins. ;)

I'll just hint that it is hard to come by and was expensive for me to get, but I'm giving it away to the winner of this contest.

So, enough encouragement now to enter? :D

I might create some artwork to enter in this contest (provided I don’t end up with too many things distracting me :rolleyes).

One piece of artwork I was considering attempting (it’s an idea I’ve had for a long time now, actually) was a “realistic” picture of the gang (i.e., theit appearance would be based on what real-life juvenile dinosaurs were thought to look like). Would this be acceptable?

Also, if you don’t mind me asking, I’m just curious: on what bases are you planning to judge the artwork and select a winner? :)

Like I said, if it's not porn, I deem it acceptable.  It doesn't matter from there.

As for the "Choosing a winner" deal, basically, I will set the entries up in a video and post it on YouTube.  From that, people will vote for ones they like the most, with the only rule being, that they can't vote for themselves.

If by the end of the voting process there's a tie, I will do another voting process out of those until a winner is decided.

As you can see, I don't choose the winner.  Rather the fans do. :)

The reason why I'm doing it like this?  I've never been good at judging what's best when it comes to Art. :P:

And I think you'll have plenty of time.  After all, you do have until the end of the month. :)

Are the "fans" the members of the GOF or your site specifically?

I have two questions.

1) Where's the drop box? Its not at the bottom of the page like you said.

2) Can LBT Oc pictures be submitted? Cause I have one (maybe a few) that I could upload.



I'm also getting better with making pictures on paint, so I might make one of Ruby to upload.

Well, I just went there and I do see it.  It's that big green box with text that takes up the whole width of the page.

As for your second question, you can have an OC but ONLY if you also have an official LBT Character with them on the same piece of Fanart.  Otherwise, it won't count.

Hope that clears up everything.  Best of luck! :)

Well, I don't see a green box, just a black box, but nothing happens when I click on it.

Anyway, here's the image if someone wants to upload it for me. I can't at all find where it goes.

(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/200/9/c/Ruby_by_ScratteLover2.jpg)

But seriously, I don't see where there is a green box at all.

I just got on youtube, its working. It can't be that.

Well then it's something else with your computer, because the whole dropbox is flash, which would be run with Adobe Flash Player. It may be outdated.

Great.

I have no idea what it is then.


But can someone upload into the bin for me, I have my name signed on it so Pokeplayer will know its mine.

I can't remember if you said anything about this already, but is the submitted artwork required to have been created this month, or can it be a piece you have made in the past?

This indeed has yet to be asked.  If you wish, you can upload one you did ahead of time.  All I ask in the end is that you have your name on it.  That will be the easiest way for me to give you proper credit.

Hope that helps everyone.  See ya later!

If not, I can still post older works if you want to.  :unsure:

^^ And you can submit multiple pieces, too, as I recall. So Sky, you could turn in the sketch AND an older piece or two. I know pokeplayer doesn't want a short tribute video. ;)

I hope to try to turn in at least one fanart before the time limit. I would have done so sooner but I'm currently booked with an online course.

Do not worry pokeplayer, for I have your back! I could not find your "dropbox," but here is my submission

Behold: Crappy Cera art!

It won't win worth jack squat, but it's better than nothing, right!?

How is that bad? That's better than the first pic of her I drew. Don't ask. It was that poorly drawn.

There's a better chance yours would when than my first drawing of Cera.

First off, you're missing one thing for it to be eligible.  YOUR NAME!

Second, I noted that MediaFire was on the fritz today.  I don't know what the problem was.  I tried uploading pics at other folders, but every time I uploaded, I got a "file not found" message.  If there are problems, I apologize, and hope they'll have it fixed soon. -_-

I'm afraid I will not be able to finish the picture I started for this by tomorrow, but I added an incomplete version of it (lacking background, shadowing, and Ruby) to some other pictures I am uploading as I type it. As requested I signed each picture with an imperfect ambigram of the name Malte :p
I hope some of the stuff is usable for the video and I'm looking forward to watch it :yes

Due to unexpected things, I can only submit something simple. I had something big in mind, but it will not be finished on time.  :(

At least I could submit something so I won't feel guilty after the contest.  :p
I hope you received my entry. :)

I'm not sure what time it is on your end now. In any case I uploaded one updated version of the incomplete image I sent before. It is still not finished (no shadowing) but at least all of the characters are there now and there is some background.

After procrastinating for an idiotically long time, I finally cracked down and produced a piece of fanart. I am still hoping to color it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do so before the deadline. :unsure: For that reason, I am posting the link to the lineart here so that you can add it if I don't finish the colored version in time.

There. I just finished the picture. I hope it's not too late. I already put it in the drop box as a PDF, but here (http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/Pangaean/RealisticGangofFiveColored.jpg?t=1280645919) it is again just to be safe.

Well, time's now up! (Been over for 12 hours, but I had some things to do during that time. (Mainly sleep! :P: )) I thank everyone for sending in what they did, it means a lot to me.

I'll be getting to work on the video tomorrow.  I want to give people ample time to look over each piece of work during the video and choose for themselves.  Remember, it's the fans who decide which is most deserving and not me alone. (So yes, I will be voting, but I'll only choose one and it'll probably not make much of a difference in the end.)

The end result will be decided by numerous polls from various forums and my own site, as well as comments and Video Responses from YouTube.  Simply speaking, most votes wins.

So, best of luck to all, and I'll see ya later!
