disenchanted's no-frills book illustration contest
Hi. I'm having an art contest. Why? Because I have all of this old stuff that I won in contests and don't need anymore. I'd like to make this interesting and entertaining for all... that means no avatar art, no original character art, no huge list of rules and specifications, etc.
Your task: Illustrate a scene from one of your favorite books.
It can be from a classic like Jane Eyre, something trendy like Twilight, or silly like Dr. Seuss. Try something new, experiment with a different style, different media, or different subject matter. (You should get something out of this, too, ya know?)
Clarification: Your illustration should be inspired by an author's text. (This is not simply a fanart/character illustration contest.)
Rules
Be nice. Follow Gaia's Terms of Service. That means nothing explicit, hateful, copyrighted or otherwise not entirely yours. You may use any medium... digital, traditional, sculpture, mixed, etc. Please no cheesy photoshop filters. You may enter more than once, although you might consider putting all your effort into one fantabulous piece.
Judging
The goal of this contest is to convert words into an image. The quote/text you provide in your entry will be used in the judging process, so the more info the better. I'll also be judging on other aspects... not just technical ability, but also other things such as, well, I don't know... maybe "use of color to portray emotion." Things like that. Moving outside your comfort zone will get you points, too.
Prizes prizes prizes!
