Mythology Contest - 3 WEEKS LEFT!EDIT: Just to remind you, this contest is NOT hosted by #Realm-of-Fantasy - the group just allowed me to promote it in their blog. It is hosted by *syccas-stock so for questions, comments and entry-notes please head over to :iconsyccas-stock:
-------------------------------------------
The crowds have voted and the topic shall be:
MYTHOLOGY
But of course it’s not that easy. The twist is to find inspiration in the mythology of your native country or the country you live in now!
Even if you don’t find a personal connection I’d like you to see this as part of the challenge – find inspiration in what your country’s history has in store. And don't give me the "we have no mythology"-excuse, every country has mythology, legends, fairytales

I'm sure you find lots of interesting stories if you do a little bit of research.
Now, that being said: If you know your family’s roots (I’m looking at you, US-folks) and would rather

Fantasy Contest - Tasoula the RogueOkay folks so the deadlines have already closed, and now the judging is on! I'm not certain yet on when the winners will be announced as I want to take some time to think, and I have a lot on at the moment. Thank you for each and every entry! I truly mean it, it has been so wonderful for me! I never expected so many people to be interested, and the time and effort that you've all put in has astounded me!
I will say in advance that I think there are definitely more than 3 deviations that deserve prizes, I don't know how I'm going to come to a decision! ~Ferris101 will be helping me to judge as he is my DM and knows Tasoula well!

Time Machine Contest WINNERS

Journals / Personal

Enjoy All the entries here! => [link]

I'm very proud to finally announce contest's winners! Again, I want to say thank you to every participant. I love all the entries and I thank you so much for have drawn my characters in so many original and creative ways. Really, thank you. I hope you had fun in joining my contest!!!

Believe me, it was incredibly hard to choose, and I'd love to be able to give a prize to everyone who participated. But this is not possible, so we had to choose.

Me and =AngelLale87 decided to give scores from 1 to 10 according to these criteria:

originality
storytelling
technical / impact
loyalty / recognition of characters

and in the end the winners are:

THIRD PLACE

by =elfdust

I love the way she drawn my Characters and how much they perfectly fit their role and personality though in a so different age and setting. I really like the choice of setting the scene during the French Revolution, and how much this painting is able to communicate. Great work.

SECOND PLACE

by *Perficio

When I saw this entry first time I was speachless. The determined and mysterious glance of Varelèn won me over, as well as the ability to tell the story, thanks to all the images that are overlapping. I think it's a perfect representation not only of Varelèn, but also of Joan of Arc. Very very impressive.

FIRST PLACE

:thumb296259903:
by !mirriluna

This is incredible. So poetic, creative and original. The way Varelèn look at the "spectator" conveys not only her determination to be a good leader, but also the uncertainty and the fear that this entails. The pose, the attention to detail, the original choice of the setting conquered me. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Other wonderful entries that very few points are not climb on the podium, but that made me fall in love for their beauty and originality.

*Sangrde Apr 1, 2012 Digital Artist

Can I change the race of the OC's? Like for the elves,.. It's kinda hard to keep it in some backgrounds.
Is anthros or asian mythological creature ok? I wanna draw Vondel and Aralyn but I want him to have different features other than ears.
Or I can use one of my Oc's but then I will lose the relationship between your OC's ..T.T so just wondering..

*PiccolaRia Apr 6, 2012

Sorry sorry sorry for the late reply!!!! ç___ç

Well, actually it would be better if you don't change their races... Only Vondel is a elf. You can add any other creature if you want!! I hope you'll enter, btw!!

*AnansiOneiros Apr 1, 2012 Student General Artist

This sounds interesting. I think I will enter this contest.

*PiccolaRia Apr 6, 2012

Sorry for my late reply!!!!!

I really hope you'll enter, btw!!

*DoTheLimbo Mar 26, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Yay! New Deadline! Phew, now I don't have to rush anymore u_ u

*PiccolaRia Mar 27, 2012

Ahah! that's good!!

*Sangrde Mar 24, 2012 Digital Artist

Is oriental background also fine? Like i want to draw yr OC in ancient japan's Edo era, then can i change their costumes ? If then, should i keep their roles(like the princess).
And does the entry require at LEAST one of your OCs and one of my OC, right? Is a drawing of a couple of your ocs okay? Like 2 oc's of you, not mine. Just wondering :>
And can i also add a short story about the theme? I know the lit is not allowed but under the picture.. And i suck at english since im from korea.. Anyways, plz replt me for those questions, your oc's are just inspirational by the way ^^!

*PiccolaRia Mar 27, 2012

Hi! Thank you for your questions and interest in the contest, and sorry for the late reply!
1) Yes oriental bg is more than welcome;
2) Yes you absolutely can change their costumes and no need to keep their role;
3) Yes you got it, you can choose one or more of my oc, and only if you want add just ONE of yours!
4) yes you can add a short story! It will be very appreciated!
If you have any other question just let me know! ^__*

*Perficio Mar 11, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I thought I'd posted a query but it seems to have gotten lost in the ether so I'll try again. Are 3D depictions, as in Daz Studio/Poser etc:, acceptable entries for the comp?. I so hope they are. I'd love to enter this one.

*PiccolaRia Mar 11, 2012

Yes!! I consider them as digital art so they're very welcome!
