Hi there, dear Guild Wars community

Welcome to Lucy's Art Contest!

This contest is a contest for everyone that likes to participate. And the goal is to design me!

Sometimes I'm looking at Guild Wars art, aswell as other art, and I really really like it. But as you can see at the image above, I'm not so well with Photoshop, neither with a pencil in real life

What you have to do
You need to make some form of art of my monk character Lucy Gwyneth. This can be any, and then I really mean any, form of art. It can be brush art, it can be a painting, vector art or more a bit like anime. I really don't care. And as everyone has it's own view on what's nice, I let everyone be free in what they will be doing. Therefor I'm not posting any pictures of me. If you want to participate either;
-Ask me to make you a screenshot of the pose you got in mind.
-Meet me ingame, and make me pose and make a screenhot. This might be easier for you as I don't know what you have in mind, so may not be posing the way you like it. I've been to every place in the game, so I can take the screenshot anywhere.
When you got your screenshot of me, you can go totaly nuts in whatever way you want. Feel free to ask me for hints, personal wishes etc.

The prize
I will take a winner on 20 May. But as this might be a little short for some of you I will be picking another winner 10 July, that is because I will leave for a 6 weeks vacation on 25 May, and therefor will not be playing for a while.
The winner of 20 May will be awarded with: 50 platinum & a Eye of the North weapon of your choice (Can be either Asuran, Norn, Dwarven of Vanguard).
The winner of 10 July will be awarded with: 100 platinum & a Destroyer Weapon of your choice.

As the winner of 20 May may be the top artist I've always dreamed of and therefor will be the winner of 7 July again, he/she will be awarded with (added on the reward of 20 May) 50 platinum and Destroyer Weapon of his/her choice, plus I will pick a second place winner, who will be rewarded with 50 platinum.

Note: If this thread isn't going to be any succesfull (which I don't hope) I will activate the following rule. There will be a minimum of 5 participants before I choose a winner. If there aren't 5 serious participants before 20 May, no winner will be picked. This to prevent me from paying 50 platinum for some artwork I dont like.

As this contest will be ending for the first time on 20 May, I will contact the winner as soon as possible, and meet quickly in game, because once I'm on vacation, I can't meet before July 10, when the second winner will be chosen.

If you want to participate!
If you want to participate, please leave a message here, just so I know how many people are going to participate. If you left your message here, try to contact me for info about taking the screenshot. If your artwork is finished, please edit your 1e post. Please also state your IGN.
Participants who participate before May 20, will automaticly particpate for the winner of July 10, so no further attention has to be paid from your side.

About me:
Well I'm a monk to heart and veins, and therefor its ofcourse my main

I have beated all campaigns, done all elite area's at least once. I'm most fan of Eye of the North, today I've gotten Legendary Master of the North plus all the 4 grinding tittles

I love to heal. Ray of Judgement isn't a skill made for me, just leave me heal

I am born in Nightfall, 38 months old, but I'm more a factions kinda person. I looove Raisu Palace <3. Vanquished that area many times, just cause I like being there and I like forgotten staffs ^^
My favorite minipets are Kuunavang and Panda, which I sadly can't afford, but I'm more then happy with my Kuunavang.
Here are some screenshots of me in my favorite armor combinations. I just love black and gold. Very good song too

For me with some weapons, for poses, or other armor combinations, contact me in game. I am willing to buy new weapons or armors if that benefits your picture, except for primeval, because I find that just too ugly

Last I would have to say; Please don't hesitate to participate, show your art skills and you might win these great prizes! To everyone, good luck and most of all have fun.

Cheers,

Tommy, A.K.A Lucy Gwyneth

Sounds Great!

I'm in.

Ravenhawk · May 08, 2009, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Sounds good!

I'll see if I can take a shot at it. What if I don't have EotN account though? Is that okay? (I only have Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall) ...not that I expect to win lol ^_^

The japanese in the picture means "little light", which is what I called this piece. I thought the name was very fitting for a monk.

I hope you like it.

Edit:

Have a second version, but please consider this all one submission, not two. After submitting I got to thinking that I should have included Kuunavang -- however, he didn't look good in the original. So, I made an alternate. But I couldn't decide which one I liked more, so I am submitting both. [Again, please consider this -all- one submission, I do not want to have an advantage over anyone else. I just couldn't decide which one to submit.]

Sorry if this wasn't the type of thing you were looking for -- I can't draw. At all. LOL

It doesn't matter at all that you don't have Eye of the North, becaue you can take a picture of me anywhere

So you still got the same chance to win as anyone. And I do have GW:EN, so if you really want a screenshot there, I can take a screenshot of myself, in a pose you tell me.

Im glad there is so much interest alrdy

Massive Impulsa · May 09, 2009, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Sounds kinda annoying , that they must go and take the pic themself :>

maybe just post some here?

StormX · May 09, 2009, 11:53 AM // 11:53

Hmm why dont u just move the dateline to 10 july so you can judge all at the same time. Also some description of your character's personality/background etc would be really helpful

Will do, but the reason I do that is because the only person who knows what you want is you

So there are 100 possibilty's of armors and poses, I can't post them all.

I though maybe 10 July would be too far away for some of you, and this thread will be forgotten, so I make 2 dates

Amazing contest, but my artistic skills aren't in drawing...

Just trying to clear this up. I think he's talking about the Detroyer weapon offered. Since he doesn't have EoTN what's his alternative if he entered and won?

Even if one doesn't have EotN, you can still be given a Destroyer weapon, as they are not crafted customized. Same with the other 4 weapon skin offers.

Perynne · May 11, 2009, 05:29 PM // 17:29

I'm in.

Just got back to GW after a break from the game, and I've been wanting to draw GW related art again.

eeks · May 11, 2009, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Humm. I might give this a shot.

I've just gotta finish something else I'm working on for a friend. >_>

If we were to draw your monk freehand, would you prefer a pose from ingame, or something off the top of our heads?

Oh and, just for a sense of scale.. what height's your monk? I don't mean specifically. :P Short? Average? Tall?

(Additionally, lovely entry Xaedra)

Erkki · May 13, 2009, 07:06 AM // 07:06

I'm in

Let's see if I still can draw

Aura Walker · May 13, 2009, 10:10 PM // 22:10

Interesting character! May 20th seems to be fast approaching though...

I was wondering, how many submissions per artist is allowed, if there is a limit?

Aura Walker · May 13, 2009, 10:12 PM // 22:12

EDIT: oops- lag caused double post.

Hmm lets say a max of 3 entries should be fair? May 20th is indeed quick, 6 days left, but then there is still July 10th. You can make only quickly for May and an improved one for July if thats what your planning on. Just can't guarantee a haste work will win

Aura Walker · May 15, 2009, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Mmk. Thanks for the info!

I don't know if I'll be able to pull it together to submit before the 1st deadline... XD
