Who will win one? 
Who will win one? 
Well our debut event was a HUGE success. Polls are still open and winners will be announced on the morning of March 7th. 
 
While we're waiting for the results on those I'd like to get the March submissions going. Some details have been adjusted since last month so please review to make sure you know the deal: 
TIMELINE: It's open for work created from the 1st of the month untill the end of the month. There will be 7 days of polling after and winners of each category will be announced.

RULES TO ENTER: It would be chaos without them, so here's the premise.
1) There's no set theme, an artist can post any work they've done within that month but they must choose ONE FOR ANY MEDIUM THEY CHOOSE TO ENTER by the deadline (defaults to their most recent unless specified).
2) For their submission choice they MUST include the following information when posting: 
MEDIUM : (required - if you don't specify which medium that it's for, it's not a submission) 
 REASONS FOR CHOOSING : (not required - but offers insight into the artists creative thought) 
SUPPLIES / DESCRIPTION : (not required - but offers insight into the artists creative process)
 
POLLING: the first 7 days of the next month voters will be able to submit there choices for the following criteria before the next event starts:
 MEDIUMS:
Best Traditional Drawing (paper/pencil/ink/paint/canvas)
Best Digital (tablet/3d/photo)
Best B&W
Best Color 
 
GENRES:
Comedy 
Horror 
Originality 
Special FX

 
PROGRESS:
Most Improved

Each vote will count as a point for the artist and the one with the highest point count will be considered the overall 'Artist of the Month'. Voters can vote once for all criteria or just the ones that they can come up with a choice. I know there's no glory of picking the next theme but it does offer an artist a chance to focus more on different areas of their work and get a decent idea of what parts of their work people do like.

Here's hoping all you great artists can pluck something out of your monthly pieces to submit :) 
 
I'm also thinking about some additional ideas and considerations and will be putting up some polls to see what you guys think. 
1) What medium do you consider a tablet to fall under? 
2) Would you like to see a 'Web Comic' category for viners involved in producing their own books? 
 
CURRENT ENTRIES: 
ARMIV : Traditional / B&W 
Caligula : Traditional / Digital / B&W / Color 
jamon : B&W
kiss_lamia : Traditional / Digital / B&W / Color 
Project_Worm : Traditional / B&W 
Thepowercosmic : Traditional 
TypH : Traditional / B&W

@kiss_lamia:  @Caligula:  
whoa, now that's what I like to see, READY for action :) 
 
@kiss_lamia: it's funny cause when you did the Madelyne piece last month I had just been discussing her 24 hours before, and now Rachel was a topic I had yesterday. I'm beginning to think there's some psychic precognitive mutant ability you're tapping into :) 
 
@Caligula: nice choices so far, I caught the traditional in Ice's new endless contest. And the color in kitty's evolution contest. Both great entries. 
The Cyclops was a nice new surprise, what motivated that one for you? Really like the ultra close up, I think the tele-photo lens does not get enough stage time in artists minds :)

@tonis: the motivation, was drawing the piece for Xerox-Kitty's contest. I was disappointed with my Dazzler piece (and still am). So I decided to cleanse my mind by doing something easy. so Disappointment and Laziness were the motivational factors.

I actually liked the Dazzler, who I've always been a secret fan of. (yes I actually have her entire series in pretty damn near mint)
But those are legit reasons for motivation, I know, I've utilized them myself at many times. :)

@Thepowercosmic: very cool. Them jesters really creep me out, specially when you got them decapitated like that, great stuff :) 
So I can put that in for the traditional category for sure, and it would also fit either the B&W or the Color if you'd like to use that for those as well. Unless of course you have other pieces you'd like to use for those.

sounds good :) 
You can make one for each medium (traditional/digital/B&W/Color), or use the same for any it fits under. Whichever you choose to do. 
Just be sure to specify which you'd like it under when you post them.

well I know I'd love seeing Kara in color no doubt.
If you're doing the colors on that this month it's legit to use. 
Also intrigued now, you do know my tastes pretty good, so my guess is it's probably as hot as or hotter :)

sure, you can post anything new and specify it's category. Final choices won't be until the 31st. Would love to see some of your colored works :) 
 If you put up multiple entries for a category what I'll do at the end of the month is ask a few days before and if I haven't heard anything I'll use the most recent.

@TypH: yea I remember when you popped this up. is close enough for me, which category/categories do you want to use it in? 
Sure a comic page is acceptable, I'm actually thinking of making a web comic category because as I've been searching around the site I've found quite a few artists who are working on one. I figure it could encompass any web comics, strips, or panels and things like that.

@TypH: ahh, just ran across this one in your thread, very nice one. 
The 'genres' (comedy, horror, etc.) consist of all entries in all mediums. The mediums however are the ones we pick the submissions for. 
I can put one of them in for the Traditional, and one in for the B&W. Whichever you prefer for either.
