where i send the art? im chilean can i participate?

back here, in the 'rules' section, it states how to enter! good luck!

Hello! this is awesome! just one question, since the brief is vague enough ( ) Can we go ahead and add to the lore/story, like give the characters and the story more personality? pursue developing motives for each faction and protagonize/antagonize any of them? thanks.

You can do whatever you want as long as the submission follows the requirements/brief

thanks for the quick reply!

Hi there, quick question- for the 2D entries, do they have to be done digitally or will traditional entries be accepted as well? I tried looking for the answer and couldn't find it. Wishing everyone all of the luck!

You have to submit digital images with your submission but you can do a portion, if not most of it with traditional media. No problem.

Concept sheet is required, or can be put to work without it?

It's part of the final submission, just as important as the final illustration.

Hello, thanks for the awesome challenge! I had one quick question:

For the personal details, is twitter an absolute mandatory requirement?
Unfortunately I've never used it and don't have one

Hey just a random small comment, it is kind of looking like the submission requirements for the 2d and 3d submissions might be flipped. I see the 2d section commenting about showing the front and back of the final design, while 3d talks about many sketches and images. This may of course also just be an issue with my computer screwing with things because of script stopper.

Or perhaps you guys are looking for some really detailed concept sheets for the 2d submissions!

What is considered as "final submision" ? last post in the topic ? or first post ? or do we send the whole work after we finish it ? Meaning, when do we need to follow the dimensional requirements, and where do we send both , character sheet and illustration with our informations ?

You can edit any post, so just edit your first post in your topic and upload your 2 final pieces, the final illustration and the concept sheet, with back and front view and any other important design. The 2 final pieces need to follow the dimensional requirements.

You can find a character sheet exemple here.

I've got some questions:
1. Can you base your characters off mythological figures/gods? Or do they have to be completely original?
2. What's the maximum canvas size?

Thanks!

1. You can use them as reference but it wouldn't be a character design if you're going to copy an existing character. That would be considered > fan art < It has to be an original character.

2. For now there's no limit on maximum canvas size but don't go crazy with the size. Keep in mind that it has to be uploaded on the forums.

I like to use photos that I take myself to wrap over my characters with the warp tool. It's Matte painting. Is this a problem since you said no photos? I mean I can just take the picture and draw it over. But at that point either would create the same result. An example is here http://jago1996.com/comic/an-overturned-jeep/
I drew all the objects and things in the scene. Then I mixed textured brushes and manipulated imagery to make a unique feel.

This seems like a very fun challenge, i would love to (win that cintiq xD ) participate but my only drawing experience so far is sketching boxes... i don't think that's going to get me far in the competition. Good luck to anyone who submits!

Hey, you won't know unless you try! So many levels are participating, you should too!

When it says "Show the front and back of your final design(...)" : What does "front and back" mean exactly?

It means the front and back of your character.

@heroshyn Your entry must include a concept sheet that showcases your kickass design from front and back, as well as any other key sketches that are part of the design AND a final illustration which presents your design in illustration.
Front and back is sufficient, you don't have to make a full turnaround.
You can read the first post in this topic for full information on entry requirements :).

Great contest here!
Just a question: Are references allowed? (Pose references, etc)

@lajoan yes, of course! If you want some inspiration, many people show their reference boards in their topics

does the final illustration have to be full body? i remember in the old forums that was a requirement sometimes. thanks!

Great idea. I agree

may we create 2 characters? of course it would count as a single submission but i would really like to work on a concept that involves partners who work together as a single hero.

How will we submit our final pieces?
Everything says what they need to be but I don't see anything that says where we post them.
Sorry for the trouble I'm just confused and want to make sure i do it right

You post your final piece in the topic you create with all of the process and sketch work.

@twistedxp You can read how in the Rules section here and/or the first answer in the Q&A here.

@Kuhleesee Hi! So good to see you participating! Good question, its not stated explicitly in the rules, but we'll add it to the FAQ shortly. Yes, the character in the final illustration should be visible from head to toes - all in all, roughly at least 80% of the character should be visible.

@Bailey_Walker its a good idea, and definitely would be interesting to see, but the brief calls for a only single champion. However, you can include side/support (or enemy) characters in your concept sheet or illustration.

Hi
I would like to ask why my thread in ART WAR - 2D is a bit faded compare to other threads

That happens to all the topics you've already read. Only topics that are unread by you or have new posts are white.

Great! Thanks

Hi I was curious the Illustration dimensions are 2048x2048 minimum, and the concept sheet section just says 2048x2048 is that the minimum dimension? Feels kind of odd to make the concept sheet a square sheet instead of a rectangular sheet.

@purefire yes, that's right, for Final Illustration it's at least 2048x2048 pixels, while the Concept Sheet has to be 2048x2048 pixels. Usual concept sheets are rectangular to show different angles of character side by side - however, here you only need the front and the back, with added important sketches (or objects belonging to character etc.). It doesnt have to follow the 'usual' concept sheet style, what's important is all that's in there!

Can we go beyond 2048 pixels in portrait mode?
e.g. 3072 x 4096 pixels.

If allowed, will this be applicable for the Concept Sheet as well? or leave it as is i.e. 2048x2048 pixels.
