Art Contest


Welcome to Mene~Summer Night's Dream 2008 event! I, Biscuits, and Iro will be your hosts for this artistic activity. Before we go on, here's a brief introduction of what this is about.


Shakespeare created the original plot line of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" out of his pure imagination. Unfortunately while creating the play he didn't have any illustrations to depict the magic involved. This is your chance to help Shakespeare illustrate the story! There will be separate sub-categories for creative graphics and pixels. Each category involves you to recreate the characters in your own form, then create your own depiction of a midsummer night party in the forest.


There will be three categories for this contest, drawn art (graphics) divided into
computer graphics (CG)
and
traditional media,
and;
pixels.

Basically, what you would have to do is to draw and design the characters of the play and if possible, draw them acting out any scene from the play according to your own depiction.

If you are not very sure of what the play is about and the characters, I will
provide the Wikipedia article to it below, though it's recommended that
you search up for more articles about it on your own.
[[ Wikipedia Midsummer Night's Dream ]]


!ALL ENTRIES MUST BE OF YOUR OWN ORIGINAL DESIGN!

:+: DATELINES :+:
ATTENTION!

Alright, it came to our attention that there may be a lack of time for the artists to complete their entries before the end of the event, so, this is what we will be doing instead.

You must enter the contest and post a WIP (Work in Progress) before the contest ends on
Sunday, July 28th.
The official deadline for completed pieces will be extended to Wednesday, July 31st.

This gives artists a week (including the four official event days) to work on their art.
You can still submit your entries before the July 28th, the WIP submission option is for those who could not finish their entries in time.

Dateline for WIPs: Monday, July 28th
- CST 12.00pm -

Official Dateline for entries: Wednesday, July 31st
- CST 12.00pm -


The
WORLD CLOCK
for your convenience.

Commentary: This is my original drawing of Tatiana, The queen of the faeries. She is laying down on the grass weeping about her "dangling by the thread" marriage with the king, Oberon. She feels guilty and wishes for all that she had done to be erased. She can only find comfort laying sorrowfully while grasping a wild flower in her hands. Such a fragile living force at the tips of her fingers is slowly being crushed at the base of the stem. And she weeps more knowing this.

Helena is angry, upset, and confused because she thinks they're playing some sort of joke on her. Hermia(Described as being short and brunette) is standing in the shadows, very angry and upset. She is also confused. The background is just some cheap thing I threw together. The bases are all mine, if you need them as proof or whatever, just ask. Umm.. Both Lysander and Demetrius are holding flowers to give to Helena. the potion thing that was put in their eyes was made of some sort of magical flower. As I said, the background was just some cheap thing I made last minute, the characters I spent most of my time on.

I checked the clock, so I turned this in time just barely XD

I tried Pixel art, haha. xD;
I drew Titania in what is hopefully a regal stance.
I gave her wings, a flowy dress, and a crown.
There are hearts near her to symbolize her infatuation with Bottom. (lol)

EDIT: Base taken from [KawaiiHannah's Website]

For now however it is an image depicting Helena with Lysander and Demetrius when both Lysander and Demetrius are hmmm, lusting? after Helena and she believes they are faking it to be cruel. Off to colour now. >>


I hope I made the deadline ...
