I am jealous of you guys getting to see, what I hope is, a ton of awesome wow fan art first! Is there any chance you will do a gallery for us once you have some submissions? I would really love to see some submissions! I have zero artistic skills myself, but this has the potential to be so neat!
I can't find how the winners are selected. Can someone fill me in? Will the winners be selected by their artwork, as in being judged? Or is it simply enter artwork, and we'll randomly select a winner?Thanks!
From the rules section:
Is it what we're most excited for or what would make people most excited? There's been a fair bit shown but a lot of mystery too....
You can submit characters and content from the Warcraft timeline in a Burning Legion setting. Original artwork refers to creating the art yourself--eg if you upload another artist's work, you will be disqualified.
Just a quick question - after submitting our picture, would we then have to wait for contest results to be allowed to post it anywhere else? I've never entered a contest like this before, so....just wanna make sure.
You can do whatever you like with it - some artists are sharing their WIPs on twitter while others with finished art are working on posters to sell. We don't own your artwork, we'll just display it at our party and on the site :)We like the idea of people sharing their work if it makes them comfortable--it gets other people interested in the contest and more creative submissions!
Thank you! :D
Amazing Prizes, already started creating some concepts here in the paper, going to do it full on the paper and pencils :D, try to push myself beyond everything i have done so far :D, and improve myself a lot more :DCongratulations for the Contest folks :DJust a minor doubt, can i use images as reference? Thanks in advance :)
You can use images as references, but try to give it a unique spin - creativity and originality are factors.
As I've been an artist for all my few years, It'd be amazing to hit first place. Yet compared to all the other, professional-quality artist, I'm sure that one's out of range as I'm still just a student - seventeen years might seem much, but I was a kid most of the time *shamefully rubs the back.of my head*But I'm still gonna do my best and aim for 1st or 2nd *shoves my axe into the Air* LOK'TAR OGAR - I'm incredibly curious to see what artwork wins the grand prize!
Good luck FelNight, we look forward to seeing your submission.
Soooo, about the resolution. Does it matter if we make it 4:3 or 16:9? Like 800x600 is 4:3, but I have a 16:9 monitor. Is it ok if I draw for that resolution, for instance?P.S: This contest is soooo exciting! A Cintiq is any artist's DREAM PRIZE. *_*
The resolution is just a minimum. If you'd like to exceed that then of course, I even encourage it. :)
Go figure, my Intuos3 literally just died last night. Unfortunately I need a tablet to have a chance to win the tablet, lol. (traditional artwork never wins these contests, sadly.) Oh well, good luck everyone.
Though I can't speak to who or what will win at this point, I can say that as long as it meets our minimum requirements all artwork will be considered. So, if you want to submit "traditional" artwork, by all means, give it a shot Rhase. We'd enjoy seeing your submission!
I am a normal artist who have never competed in competition of this size, I am not trained in digital paining so thinking bout taking it back to real ways where the Drawings come from Pencils. Paper n Multi type of colouring instruments.My only concern is the concept I got in mind for this particular competition is big, I got a paper which is around 24-28 inches wide but after completing it, I have to click pictures of it with my phone which is around 5mpxl and I am afraid the details and efforts I put into this picture won't be visible and I have already started creating it. What should I do in such case? As the rules say Characters must be recognisable and I am putting in some things which are totally extinct but in the lore of WoW. I am very excited and energized to make this piece of art. Good, bad or win not concerned about it atm but I just want to give it a shot :3I am waiting for the answer :) Thank you. :)Additionally I have always dreamed about playing on retail servers someday, never got enough money to do so, staying away from the game got my love for the game strong, made me watch Lore telling Videos and Update Videos by different YouTubers :) Illidan was the character that made me turn my head to that TBC trailer in an internet cafe back in 2007.. and I just got into it. Now when, Illidan is coming back, I am saving all the money I get to get on retail servers, not even going McD from the day I saw the gamescom opening xD :3 I wish everyone very good luck for this :) and I thank wowhead people to arrange this big prize for the deserving artists, it might be career defining step for some of them. :) Happy for the winner already. :)
