|Competition| Abstract Battleground!

**Raven** · 08-11-2008

Alright folks, we're gonna hold an event for up to now until the end of the month.

Theme: The requirement is that an abstract design be made, it can be abstract backgrounds or characters. In case you're not familiar with what abstract means, the breakdown for it is random and assorted shaped and layers to put it simply.

Here is an example of an abstract image: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams...n_1024x768.jpg

It can be pretty much anything, it can also be a vector abstract if you wish but I'm sure by now the point is clear for what the theme is.

Size doesn't matter, choose your canvas for what you are comfortable with.

The time limit is the end of this month, that is all. Post your comments or questions in this thread please.

Like this?

**Raven** · 08-11-2008

Yes, that's fine. The only thing I ask is that all work be made by you. Don't use resources from other designers please.

SSJBulma · 08-11-2008

Cool. Are there shiny prizes?

Madness · 08-11-2008

Gah, I'd love to take part in this, but I've never been able to find out how to create the buggers >_> damn PSP9.

EDIT: Nevermind, found out now. Learn summat new everyday...

*Goes to practice*

EDITEDIT: I hate PSP <_<

Is it even possible to create stuff like that in PSP?

Sorry I missed that, well, at this time there are no prizes in mind, lol. It's just a free for all contest. We'll think some up in the future though.

Not really. It truly is about the art.

Popularity based on best artwork? Yes.

I don't know if you were driving at something else but if you were, speak up. I run these contests and the winner is the one who appeals to more people. I've gotten beat plenty of times, so I'm not sure what your intention was but it appears rather short lived.

Dupe of USSJed · 09-03-2008

I think that this comes down to who they like the most.

Madness · 09-04-2008

I don't think it was like that Jed.

Hawkesy · 09-11-2008

Yeah, i'd be voting for the art, e.g. if Kei came in and had some awesome art, id vote for him even tho i dont like him, its simple, is about the art, always has been always will be
