Okay stupid question but what does it mean that the concepts must all fit on one "sheet"?
You can take inspiration from the character designs from existing characters, but try to make it as original as possible. For example, you shouldn't take the symbols of Tauren straight off the 'book'. You can twist it, redesign them in a way that best suits your vision for the competition.
A "sheet" implies thumbnails, sketches, iterations, final concept piece, etc. all in one document. You can find examples on any art forum/site or searching for a concept art sheet.
What specifically defines fantasy or sci-fi? I feel like my idea could go either way. Personally I'd go sci-fi when I consider my backstory, but it looks like sci-fi in this case is based off of technology. Or does that matter?
Damn this is really nice oppurtinity for artists to "git gud". I'm so excited to work and also see what others are doing :)))
oow thanks, I might just be lazy than and do a 8k map with auto unwrap, that will probally need a lot of sowing and breaking to get the right hard surface shading though 
aaah, i'll just do it the usual manual way.
Are Quebec residents able to apply?
there is a limit on the age / residence?
Hey guys, I have a question that's kinda bugging me... idk how to put it, hope it makes sense:
How important is the ART WORLD part of the theme? Should it be apparent in the final designs/illustrations than there is a war and, above all, that it's happening in an "art world" (whatever it is)? Or am I just overthinking it and it's alright to just pick sci-fi or fantasy and make a random-ish (no "art world" related) champion character?
I'm guessing it's something open for interpretation, but I had to ask, just in case.
"Art world" refers to the surreal world that your hero/champion would exist in. It doesn't have to be an all out war, though. Pesky rivalry, fights, etc. can be used to push the "fantasy vs sci-fi" message you're to convey! More than anything, your character needs to be able to convey what sort of situation he/she is in, including those that support/rally for him/her! Hope this helped. ^^
this is so exciting! Although I am a little confused on something, to post our progress, that has to be on a separate topic right? Or can we still post it on the same topic but to post our final entry has to be all on one post with the sketches included on that one post?
All in the same topic. All final work in one post if you can.
Hello there, it is said ''international art contest'' , but most of the time some country and province still cant take part in it ( blizz contest is a good ex ), It there any problem if I am from Québec ( Canada ) , if not I shall start this today !!!! cant wait to know !
Question, can I delete my thread and post a new idea/entry? Haven't started working on the actual model yet, just posted a sketch and a ref sheet. Thanks.
Sure thing!
*I deleted it for you. So feel free to make your new topic @j11 !
Awesome, how can I delete it?
You can enter both but the entries can't share anything 
They both have to be unique.
Heya, there are unfortunately some restrictions for Quebec residents, you can see them here https://forums.cubebrush.co/t/art-war-faq
You're free to enter but are not eligible to win any prizes. Blame Quebec laws on contests - some of the worst in the world
