If we can have a competition for digital art, why can't we have one for traditional, pen[cil]/paintbrush-to-paper art?
Mods/Admins, feel free to lock if it's a duplicate or anything.

So, I was thinking, this could roll the same way as the icon/banner competitions, rules-wise.
Message your entries/votes to me, no telling anyone what you drew/painted, no urging people to vote for a certain one, no telling people your votes, etc.

The first competition is to draw something macabre-esque, but also has to do with music[if that makes sense].
Examples:
1. 2. [but add like, musical notes, or headphones, or something.]
Feel free to use an idea of your own, but you can draw these.

Ends Sunday, April 13th.

I think this is a brilliant idea.
I don't have a scanner of my own, but I could try to have a friend scan it every day the entries are due. :]

As for the first competition, I have no idea.
Eh, I'm bad with coming up with concepts.
Maybe something music inspired?

I think this is a good idea, I'd get involved when I have the time. I think what you need to decide though is how much freedom people are gonna get. Whether you get just a simple prompt and you can develop anything you like from it or whether your going to get something specific to work with, and to use as a reference.

If I get the time this week, I'm completely entering, so just so as I got this straight, I don't have to incorporate the exampe images, just as long as its macabre and has something to do with music in it?

There's no specific picture you have to do, but you can do one of the examples.
And yeah, if it's music-y and macabre-y then you're fine. ^^

That's what I thought at first.
But, cameras work too, and local libraries usually have a printer/scanner somewhere, or a friend might have one.

Great idea!
But I don't think the school scanner is working, so I will probably have to resort to a crappy photograph. Very Happy
