Art Contest: Fictional Character Valentines!
by TresChic February 5, 8:16 PM


Roses are red,

Violets are blue,
Here's another art contest,
Cause why not, it's something to do!

This round of AiC's Art Contest is basing it's theme around the holiday that most of us generally only tolerate, Valentine's Day! However, there's a bit of a twist: we want to see you create Valentines From Fictional Characters!

Now, there's some rules we're gonna ask you artsy folks to follow, so listen up!
  • The fictional characters can be from anything you want (TV shows, games, movies, books, etc), just as long as it's a character you didn't make up yourself.  While fun, that kind of character is just not what we're looking for this time around!
  • Make it fun, and in any illustrative way you want to!  There's no size restrictions, and however you choose to illustrate it will be fine (digitally or traditionally, etc.)
  • Once you're finished, send TresChic a PM with your creation, and it will be kept secure for the final poll.  Art submissions will be accepted up until February 17th, 11:59 pm PST.
  • All participants will recieve  the art contest participant badge for their efforts, but the winner will get the art contest winner badge.  Even if you've already gotten these badges in the past, we encourage you to participate anyway. You know, just for the fun of it!
  • The following types of submissions will not be accepted to keep everything on generally even ground: photomanipulations (we want art you create yourself,) videos (singing, acting, musical instruments, etc,) animated gifs, and anything that is against site rules. 
  • If you aren't sure whether or not your submission is okay for the site, feel free to ask TresChic or Silly!

I'd draw David Bowie, but I'm not sure if he's real or not...

What exactly is a Valentine? Like a birthday card but love themed? Or is it just a picture that has a love theme?

Google says:

val·en·tine 
/ˈvalənˌtīn/

Noun
  1. A card sent on St. Valentine's Day, February 14, to a person one loves or is attracted to. 

Basically, look up Valentine's Day cards to see different ways you can do this. It doesn't have to look like a card, but it does have to look like it's meant for Valentine's Day (ie, pinks and reds, hearts, a cheesy valentine's quote that you can try to relate to the character you choose... really anything that looks like it is related to "love.")

I have always used a body outline for any pictures dealing with humans.  as you have seen with my avatar here.
I get the body outline, then use it how I see fit.
