The G-G Illustration Contest! (BIG prize(s)!)

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 16, 2008, 7:51 PM
Hello everyone!



We all know the Endzone finale is long off, Everafter's updates are (very) slowly coming together behind the scenes, and Smash Brothers Brawl has been delayed (again).

Need something to do? I may have the thing for you.





Okay, first off, what's the G-G?

It is the shorthand term for the Gokiburi-gumi, a fictional clan of yakuza made up of thugs, criminals and exiles from all walks of life. It is comprised of various artists original characters, set in the universe of one of DA's more popular original-character dueling leagues, the SDL. (As always, for more information on the SDL, head on over here.)

All right, how do I enter?

You must draw a group illustration of any of the G-G, provided it's at least more than two members.

I repeat. You may choose any number of clan members to include in the picture, from a minimum of two people, to all the forty current members. The subject matter is vast and entirely up to you. Some possible ideas:

:bulletgreen: Simply posing for the camera. (The more interesting the interactions, the better. Be creative!)
:bulletgreen: Fighting with one (or more) of your own original characters.
:bulletgreen: Relaxing in a scenic location. (Or robbing it blind.)
:bulletgreen: Fighting amongst themselves.
:bulletgreen: All of the above. :XD:

Okay. I have to draw a group picture of this clan. Where can I find information on the members?

All current members have their profiles compiled in this journal: [link]

And for information about the clan itself, please click the banner below:











You ready for this one?


For every original character you include in the group illustration, you will win one free commission from the respective artist.

In other words, if you draw a picture of *Marcks's Kusanagi and *ShikakuSuika's Hanabi chilling out, and win, you will receive two free commissions from each of them. If you draw the entire clan and win, you will receive commissions from every last one of them. The more characters you draw, the more prizes you receive.

That is a possible grand prize of two to forty commissions(or more, if we have additional members arrive and agree to participate between now and the deadline), from some immensely talented artists. And all for you.

Here's just some of the folks providing prizes:
=Endling .. *gottschalk .. *lan-kun
*Zombiesmile .. *ShikakuSuika .. *RoninsUltramix
*manic-pixie .. *Sins-Of-Angels .. =minjii ..
*kilojara16 .. =BlackLillian .. =Iris-Zeible
*lanhao .. =Rocker-Artist .. ~Zen-Dragon-Pyro
*Marcks .. =Darkstampede .. ~Waddle-Penguin
~TheCrowchan .. ~Wixed001 .. =K-Lynnette
~Duredhel-Dark-Elf .. ~cLeSs13 .. ~SaintBernard
~Magedon

That's how the G-G rolls. You do a little something for us, and we'll return the favor in spades. I hope we have your interest now. :)








:bulletblue: There will be only one grand prize winner. (Though honorable mentions will be made.)

:bulletblue: ANYONE can enter, whether you be in the Gokiburi-gumi or not.

:bulletblue: The setting MUST be in feudal Japan.

:bulletblue:The illustration must include at least two members of the G-G.

:bulletblue: Collaborations are allowed, but if you win, the winnings must be split. (If you and a partner win with a picture of ten OCs in it, you will not both be receiving ten commissions from the respective artist. You would have to decide who receives what, like, your friend gets five artists commissions and you get the other five.)

:bulletblue:There is no limit towards other characters that can be in the image, even if they aren't in the clan.

:bulletblue: Nothing too explicit, please. Where nudity and wanton gory violence are a mainstay in the G-G, there are still wee ones who view this site, you know.

:bulletblue:Regarding the prizes, the size and quality of the commission is dependent on the artist and their personal schedule. There is no set example. (Meaning, a given artist may offer to give you a chibi, another artist could paint you the Mona Lisa.)

:bulletblue:The commissions you win will be entirely up to you. It does not have to be G-G or SDL related. (You could ask for each artist to draw you one of your characters, or assign each artist a different character, or whatever.)







Illustrations must be received before or by March 10th. Send a note to me with a link to the image in it to be registered. Good luck, everyone! We hope to see something from you!

(And a big thank you to all the contributing artists, with additional thanks as well to =BlackLillian for creating the gorgeous headers in this journal!)


LONG STORY SHORT:

1. Draw an illustration of two or more members of the Gokiburi-gumi. ANYONE can enter, it doesn't matter if you're in the G-G, the SDL, or anything. Anyone means anyone.

2. For every G-G member you include, should you win the grand prize, the owner of that character will draw you a commission. (The members and respective artists are listed above.) So a picture of two characters will win you two commissions, a picture of twenty will net you twenty commissions.

3. Upon completion of your image, post it to DA and send me a note with a link to it by the 10th of March.

Man is not 'Inherently Evil', but rather 'Inherently Stupid', which tends to lead to bad outcomes that are considered 'evil'.
