KiriK Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Hi Everyone! I'm happy to announce we'll be having an art contest that EVERYONE on MacrossWorld can participate in. You can submit it to me via email at MWcon09@gmail.com and it will be entered into our art contest on Sunday, July 19 which will be judged by a select panel of art experts. Brief rules are: -Use 8.5" by 11" size canvas so we can print your artwork for display -Drawn art only (can use any style of color, b&w, or computer generated) -Original Macross Themed artwork -Cannot be artwork previously used in any other contest Deadline Extended to Saturday Thursday, July 18, 2009 at 8pm PST That's it! Grand prize for this contest is a 1/8 Ranka Lee Monster Call girl figure donated by www.HobbyLinkJapan.com. Thank you HLJ for sponsoring this event! Get cracking on those art pieces! I'll try to draw some stick figures but i'm sure you guys will blow me out of the water. =] Edited July 17, 2009 by KiriK Quote
KiriK Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 Is anyone entering this contest? I'm hoping several MW artists will submit something for the con. You can win a prize and we'll ship it out to you and you don't even have to attend the con! Deadline for submissions is tomorrow night at 8pm. Get working! Thanks Quote
polidread Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) wow! id love to! can i join? edit: o, wait, I CAN ! XD lemme check if i still have anything in my files.... Edited July 15, 2009 by polidread Quote
KiriK Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 EXO also mentioned this in the MW Con thread: Since we are going to print it out to display make sure that that it is scanned or executed at at least 300 dpi or 600 dpi for black and white. The usual web resolution of 72 dpi won't do. Thanks! Quote
polidread Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Yay! ive just sent my entry XD hope it gets through! Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I wish I'd had seen this thread a week ago so I could whip something up for the con. I don't have anything I feel is worth submitting and I'm not going to make it down anyways... well there's always next year. Quote
bigkid24 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I wish I'd had seen this thread a week ago so I could whip something up for the con. I don't have anything I feel is worth submitting and I'm not going to make it down anyways... well there's always next year. Just send something to show off. If it wins, it wins. You don't have to be there to collect your prize. Quote

KiriK Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Could you guys whip something up if i extend the deadline? The actual contest is on Sunday afternoon, but i wanted them early so i can print them out and have them ready. I've received a few entries already, but am willing to extend the deadline to give you until Saturday evening to complete the drawing and submit it. I can print it Saturday night and have it ready for Sunday's judging. Quote

polidread Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 AND ... we can have the entries displayed online here or on the main MW site for all to enjoy? is this possible? XD Quote
KiriK Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 AND ... we can have the entries displayed online here or on the main MW site for all to enjoy? is this possible? XD Yes! We'll post all the artwork from the contest after the con Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Yes! We'll post all the artwork from the contest after the con can we do more than one entry? I've got one thing I could send in now, but I've got at least one other thing I could finish (maybe) Quote
KiriK Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 can we do more than one entry? I've got one thing I could send in now, but I've got at least one other thing I could finish (maybe) Good question. I think to be fair you can only select 1 entry to be submitted and judged, HOWEVER I would be more than happy to display multiple pieces of artwork from you at the con. =] Submit your other entry and afterwards let me know which one you want to enter officially. thanks!

KiriK Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Just got around to scanning the sketches from our MW Con Live Art contest from Saturday! The contest rules were that contests were given only 20 minutes to draw their favorite Macross character or mecha AND include some sort of background. Everyone was given a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper and a pencil only. We had a good number of participants and the winners were decided by fan vote from MW Con attendees after the contest. Congratulations to Mitch for winning 1st place, Daisuke for 2nd, and Ken Cho for 3rd! Drawn by Mitch (1st place) Drawn by Daisuke aka Maiden Japan (2nd place) Drawn by Ken Cho (3rd place) Drawn by Modineceaste Drawn by Lance Drawn by Miriya Quote
KiriK Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Drawn by Gubaba Drawn by Tom Bateman Drawn by Tom Bateman? Anonymous drawing And last is a non entry drawing by UCLA JAC member Jessica!!! This was a great contest and i'm glad so many people participated! Quote
