MitterGrygon coloring CONTEST!
Alright, my veryfirst second contest.
WHO:
For Grygon!
grygon@gmail.com
WHAT:
Color this and follow the coloring rules.
1st place will be chosen by me. Winner will get a free line-art done by me of their character, uploaded at 2,000 pixels wide for others, or them self, to color. Also a link to their gallery in my deviantart signature for a week (read 2nd place info).
2nd place will get a link to their gallery in my Deviant Art signature for a week. Seriously folks, that little bit of exposure (I am a WHORE on devianart forums) did wonders for my own page views. Whenever I'm whoring the forums I get between 30-100 page views on my gallery. When I'm not whoring the forums, I'm lucky to get 1 a day.
WHERE:
Email me a link to where ever you uploaded your finished contest piece. In the text of where you submit it, link to my contest and to the original piece on DA (that's part of the coloring rules) and tell me it was for the contest.
WHEN:
Deadline is May 16th. That gives you 50 days and will end right around my finals week. I'll take a few days afterward to consider my choice and then post the decision soon after. We'll see what my schedule is like then but you should expect a decision within a few days.
WHY:
Because you love me!
HOW:
Color it however you want. Save it and print it out to color it on your choice of paper. Or save it and open Corel/Photoshop to digitally color it. However you want!
EDIT- April 6: I've been asked a few questions linked to this contest and thought others might find them useful as well:
How will you judge entries?
I'll be judging on what piece is more aesthetically pleasing. What color combination was most effective. If shading is used, and how, and if not... was it on purpose or just lack of knowledge or laziness? Also, did they just use the lineart, or include some of their own... inventions?
It might be a shiney piece, or it might be a creative piece that wins. Or it might be both creative and shiney. :) But the big thing is- effective aesthetics. Of course, that is up to the eye of the beholder. The winners I choose, may not be the ones you would've chosen.
Why the name of Auslander?
Way back in 1995ish when Grygon was born, she needed a name (Grygon is what she IS). I saw an X-Files episode that mentioned the word 'auslander' meaning 'outsider'. Now, I didn't choose it in a "omg, we're so emo and will enver fit into normal society" way. More in a way that Aus Grygon is just so strange... THAT kind of outsider. ;)
