Well, i really enjoy all the great pictures here, and i can see alot of talent!

I was thinking of arranging a Commission contest with possibly 300k~ in prizes. It would been of ONE character, so nothing huge such as Sjeng's art contest.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...highlight=500k

But im bit unsure on the activity on this forum, and i wont really boother to hold a contest if i theres noone entering.

Ps, this contest has still not started since my money source is prediction(5accounts hehe), and every time i get about 120+rp's. But you never know so i will asure i have the money before the contest starts

So im kinda wondering anyone actually wanting to sign upp? (Its just 1 character and i accept all types of paintings/drawings/3D/Animation etc etc)

... Sum it upp, anyone interested in a commission contest with 300k + in prizes

? (PS, my payment will be zkeys so due to the variation of its prices i rather add an ammount of zkeys ex: 1st Place 50zkeys~ )

Contact me ingame on: Titan Forever

Hiya,
This sounds awesome. I remember the "Evening With a Mesmer" art contest a while back and how amazingly talented some people on this site are. I already know I will not win because Morag is participating

. But you can count me in anyways. Thanks for doing this

I'll enter your contest if you enter mine

Part 1 is the short story portion of the contest, so more people besides just the local artists can join in. Should be up early May, and as I'm thinking of getting back into commissions this summer anyway, I'd love to give your character a try.

Massive Impulsa · Apr 21, 2009, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Well, as i mentioned this contest is financed on Predictions Points, which get i get every month. So hopefully i will get them the 1st Thursday like always, so i suppose i'll see how good it goes with the predictions, and ill make a contest & prizes out of that

Btw, was thinking of the same that this can start upp around 8th~ May (The day after prediction points is give out

)

But as i mentioned the contest still havent started, and its still not 100% it will be either, but im trying to get it throu

Starr could you give me link to your contest then ? (PS, i sux at drawing and writing :P)

StarrTheInsane · Apr 21, 2009, 05:35 PM // 17:35

The official rules and announcement will go up at the end of next week, but I've already setup a wordpress to contain entries and info. You can check it out: http://mortbane1079ae.wordpress.com/

Once the contest kicks off, I'll post the prize info, judging criteria, and biography/screenshot material. It's a sort of commission contest, but split into parts.

I have no clue how many people might submit entries in the short story portion, but if I'm not busy reading, I'd love to draw your character. Have you got a deadline in mind for your contest?

Massive Impulsa · Apr 21, 2009, 05:53 PM // 17:53

cant u make a contest where i could have a change in winning, i suck at drawing D:

Mr. Fish · Apr 21, 2009, 10:46 PM // 22:46

Massive Impulsa,
I can try drawing a picture of your friend's monk. I will try my hardest to fit the style of those sample pictures, although the finished product may be terrible

Anyway, it would be good practice since I am thinking about re-starting a free commissions thread of my own... Who knows, maybe while I work on this picture I will find a style that I like

Anyway, I have no doubt that there are artists on this site that could make a better picture... But I will give it a go anyway and hope for the best.

I will contact you with the finished product when I am done...(although it may be a while, as I am a little busy)

Thanks,
~ ><> Mr. Fish

Are you good at coloring or short stories?

MI, I can't be much help for your friend's monk, I am busy with projects and finals this week and next, hence I'm waiting to post my event.

I'm usually all for drawing as birthday presents and I recommend it to anyone who isn't sure what kind of GW-related present to give. The most personal and least likely to be pulled out of storage years later with a "wonder why I've been holding onto this"

I hope you find somebody who can deliver in time and happy birthday to your friend!

Simply Thank your very much! - I would love all the pictures i can get (Starr mentioned he could also make one aswell, but little unsure due to his comment here^^) But rem this is a birthday gift so be silent (Btw please dont have birthday themes in there, since i tought she can use it like an avatar or print it out )

StarrTheInsane · Apr 22, 2009, 10:40 PM // 22:40

No worries, it's nearly done now.

Qing Guang · Apr 23, 2009, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Ah, I'll throw my Ice Crown in the ring, just for kicks and solong's its not got a deadline during AP testing (around 2nd week of May). I know I can't win, seein's Morag and Starr are in (last contest I nearly dropped out in favor of Morag, lol), but I need the tablet practice (wish I'd had that for the Evening with a Mesmer contest - my picture wouldn't have sucked so much, since my main issue with it was that it was a horrible colored pencil job) and, well, it'd be a nice break from drawing my own characters over and over again (and drawing characters is what I'm best at, I'd say).

...Wow, that was pretty verbose for basically saying "sure, I'll enter."

StormX · Apr 23, 2009, 07:40 AM // 07:40

I might join, just for fun =P

Massive Impulsa · Apr 23, 2009, 12:59 PM // 12:59

Btw im having loooads of exams myself starting next week, so ill give you guys a decent deadline

Also im not really expecting that much.. this is mostly my way to give back to the talented artist here

Also starr the incredible made me a picture for my lovely friend, Rowan Loyola - and i tought just to give you guys a little reminder on the hard contest here ill put upp starrs picture (REM THIS IS NOT FOR THE CONTEST, BUT SIMPLY A LITTLE GIFT(If u want payment ofc, pm me

))

Also Starr, Rowan she L O V E D it! - But now i got a little problem , cuz shis spamming me "thx", and "i LOVE YOU" - She also asked me for your name, so hopefully she spams u instead:P

StarrTheInsane · Apr 23, 2009, 04:10 PM // 16:10

Well, I have plenty of room for spam now. I archived all my messages to make room for this summer. I'm glad I could pull through on this one and that it was well received. Tip if you like, but as we made no sort of formal arrangement for payment, that's entirely up to you. I'm adding this to my monks collection and getting some extra credit for my digital arts class, so it was a benefit to me to do this piece.

Have you decided yet which of your characters will be up for the contest? I know, it's a little like cheating to know beforehand. I have worked mostly with necros and mesmers (each making up nearly a quarter of my work). Always willing to expand in any direction.

Best of luck with your contest!

It will be either of the Monk or Ranger (Pictures of booth is above i think)

If i decide to go for the monk, (same as Starr Drew, lol she wants more

) It might be of her in several armors. I dont hope this is to much work(Response please

), well if it is we'll just keep to single.

Also Starr, im pretty much empty on money on this account - im getting my main back at 1/5 - So i think i have a couple of zkeys lying there

Also since i will use ALL my pred points as the prize(5x Acc), i do have a little problem, since everyone in HvH goes under cover with smurf names -.-''

Corail,Viru,veeru,Tsu,Smurf,I love snap, Hadsi, Demon hunter Mai

So if anyone manages to find thoose names on XTH List, please post it and it will be more prizes
