@Mary_Alfa If your country is not on the list, then you sadly can't win. You do have 2 options though; participate just for fun or have another family member abroad participate and accept the prizes for you.

For our submission in the Art War should we have everything in one post? Like should we put our final image in the post showing our concept art and WIP images? Or will the final image be in a separate post?

Hi, I'm new and I really want to participate. Sadly, all I have for digital art is my phone and a cheap stylus. This isn't really a problem, except that the requirements for the image is 2048 x 2048 pixels. My phone is only 640 x 1136 pixels. Can I still participate? If not, I still want to do it and have my work be judged. Is that possible? Thanks

Do we have to choose a side or can our character represent both sci-fi and fantasy?

@jlevine post the concepts, sketches and wips into your topic gradually as you make them. You can put the Concept Sheet and Final Illustration into a new post (in the same topic). If you want to be sure, it's good to write "This is my concept sheet" "This is my final illustration" above them, then there will be no room for confusion!

@kaiiimo Hello! You can participate anyway, but if you want to have your work judged, you will need to post the final images in 2048 x 2048 pixels. If there is really no other way, you can try enlarging the image (at the expense of quality)? Or paint your character + important elements on your phone, and add background etc on computer?

@fonx32 This is a war!! :smile: You have to choose a side.

Hey =) First of all ... a really cool event you guys have planned in the backyard =D

Just two little questions:

  1. What is exactly the definition of "fantasy" in your case? I mostly see medieval-like characters, but would create some character living in the 19th century ... is this also allowed?

  2. What about the general "Topic" of the ArtWar. Should the character be designed to be able to stand a chance against "SciFi" character or is the ArtWar just the title of the challenge without any deeper meaning? Should my hero be the one, able to win the war between SciFi creatures and the fantasy faction ... or "just" another hero pulled out of my mind without any deep meaning?

Would appreciate some clarification on this topic =)

Fantasy doesn't mean historical and the story behind your concept is all up to you as long as you keep the rules in mind.

In regards to the concept sheet... what's considered "good" for a concept sheet? If I have a finished idea but it's not super pretty or anything then is that good enough (because it's just a concept) or should I make it look beautiful and attempt to balance my time between the concept sheet rendering and finishing the illustration? I know it's a weird question :smile:

I'd love to compete in something like this, but I'm still very much a novice at digital art, so I'd probably have like 0% chance at even coming close to winning, I'd still like to participate though. Only one problem - I can't decide between the 2 genres! XD

Then start sketching for both and decide later ^-^ Good luck!

The concept sheet is part of the submission, so it's just as important as the final illustration/3D model.

You can find a definition for fantasy (genre) on wikipedia, it's pretty standard stuff. The rules also state it's a war between genres, so yes the name has meaning and your entry should take that into consideration! Cheers

I think I may take a stab at this contest. If its not to late, I'll post something by the end of today.
