Art Contest
Well, I guess the title pretty much says it all. For this event, I want to do a little art contest and see what you can come up with. This time around, there will be a regular art contest (i.e drawing, painting, that sort of thing), and a photography/design contest. Everything is explained in details in the following posts, and if you have any question left, just ask and I'll try to answer. So grab your pencil/paper/camera/whatever and get to work!
Oh, while I'm here, you can also chat in this thread (mostly about arts and inspiration and stuff, but yeah, you can chat).

| Design-a-Lantern/Photography Contest
~ INFORMATION~
For this contest, you'll have to create you own lantern and then take a picture of it to show the world how great it is! There will be a pattern with some explanations given below, but you can also make your own from scratch if you prefer. Your entry will be judged on the originality and the quality of the design, as well as on the quality of your photography/ies.
Instructions for a simple lantern - You can make a circular lantern out of this if you don't fold the paper, and a variety of other shapes by making different folds.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE FIRE (candle or other device) TO LIGHT YOUR LANTERN IF IT IS MADE OF FLAMMABLE MATERIAL (paper, fabric, etc.)! Your lantern doesn't even have to be lighted in your photo, but if you'd like to get that effect, I'd suggest using a small light (flashlight, faux-candle, etc.) instead of real fire.
~ RULES ~
- Follow to the rules of Midorea.
- By entering this contest, you acknowledge that the art piece included in your entry was made by you.
- You can enter up to 3 different designs.
- This isn't a rule per say, but you are strongly encourage to take more than one picture of your lantern (like, one or two to show the different sides of it, and another more artistic picture).
- Everyone will receive a participation prize if they enter (only one participation prize per person).
- This contest will be voted on by staff. The staff may enter the contest too, but in that case they will give up their vote.
- Deadline for entries is June 30th!
~ PRIZES ~
- Participation prize: 500 silver to anyone who enters (only one prize per person per contest).
- Participation raffle: A set of summer 2012 event items will be raffled among all the participants (1 ticket per entry).
- If there are enough entries (more than 10 entries from different people), there will also be prizes for the best lantern AND the best picture.
- The more people participate, the better the prizes will be!
- Actual prices will be announced soon!

Title: The shadow
Medium: Pencil, paper, digital
Description: What inspired me to do this was thinking, 'What would the doom look like personificated? It would be in the shadow of everyone, their faults, their imperfection, in which their dark side would grow, and if it grew too much, if something bad were to happen, it would mean the eighth fall. I had to do the background fairly simple because of no time and had to use Gimp instead of Photoshop, but I think I managed well. Also, I know the shadows should be deeper. Oh well.
Link(s) to your entry: Here, and the original. |

Title: Lantern of Knowledge
Medium: Tissue paper, a birthday candle and lots of wire.
Description: Made this really quick to enter. I just came up with my own design and went from there. I need to tweak it though, the little flame was not enough to make it float sadly. Still ended up looking awesome

| Just a quick question. Is it 3 entries total or 3 for each?
Also, are we allowed to double up entries? Can we draw something for the art contest and then use it as a lantern as well? (Slightly modified of coarse.)
