Default WTB Commission 400k! Mini-contest!

So I was trying to save up for FoW armour. Until I finally realized FoW armour is actually pretty darn expensive so I gave up on the idea. Since then I've had a good deal of gold I wasn't quite sure what to do with. But I've decided now to use all my gold on this little contest I'm setting up! Yay!

The rules are simple. I want you to draw my mesmer, Sanra Sprinkleworth. I've put up some screenshots of my mesmer in 2 outfits, you choose outfit and make any drawing whatsoever. A drawing of her talking politics with a charr, or a drawing of her beating a wammo with a stick, or whatever you could think of.

I'd like to encourage everybody to join the contest, even those who can't draw! When the contest is over, I'll give the gold to whoever I think is best... even if that somehow ends up being a crude stick figure drawing of Sanra.



I don't mind people taking a bit of liberty with the interpretation of the rules. If you prefer to make a photoshopped picture instead of a drawn one, go right ahead. If you despise the 2 Sanra outfits and prefer to draw her wearing a Darth Vader suit, then go right ahead. (although, one would need a pretty darn good explanation of why she's using a Darth Vader suit :s)

Me and my guild will be judging the pictures as the contest is over and after a few days I'll create a new thread announcing the winners. I'll be judging based on how good the drawings looks and how entertaining the drawings are. So if you're limited to drawing rather crude stick figures then making a humourous picture is definitely the way to go :s d

And I don't mind multiple contest entries from one person, although only one of those entries will be considered for a contest prize.

When submitting pictures, just post them in this thread. Use www.imageshack.us if you're not sure where to upload your picture.

Contest prizes:

1st place: 200k
2nd place: 150k
3rd place: 100k
4th: 75k
5th: 25k
6th: 24k
7th: 23k
8th: 22k
9th: 21k
10th: 20k
11th: 15k
12th: 12k
13th: 7k
14th: 5k
15th: 1k

The contest will end on the 1st of October.


Super large screenshots of Sanra:

Virtuoso armour.

Those are indeed works of art! Although, to be honest, Paul here seems to have the better one. Those particles just blew me away, I never expected such detail.

Well, I really wouldn't call my contest spec work. I'm just holding this contest for fun, I don't have an ulterior motive of ripping off artists and using their artwork for commercial purposes.

... or do I?

It definitely has its charm. Although the character is mixed in with the background too much.

I might just take you up on this contest. Sounds fun.

Though I've got two other drawings I must do before this (people who wanted me to draw their chars), so I'll see if I have time.
