Next Contest Theme? / New Features

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 13, 2008, 8:15 PM


Club News


Hey everyone! Last contest was a nice experience to know what works and what doesn't when it comes down to contest topics... It become obvious to us that many loved the topic in a personal level, but it wasn't inspirational enough to start you guys painting.... So we will have this in mind for the NEXT CONTEST that we are already planning...

As you saw, last contest prizes were EXCELENT, thanks to our incredible sponsors:
:iconrakastajatar: + :iconpeggymintun: + :iconwanderinatnight: + :iconduffzilla: + :iconleftyfro: + :iconanachsunamon: + :iconinspyretash-stock:


We are already listing ideas for new contest topics, but as always, we ask you to leave us in the journal your own ideas!! Hopefully we can achieve this time a more inspirational topic :)

Also, if you want to contribute to the new contest as a Sponsor please drop us a note (with subject "contest" or "sponsor"). Sponsors are really the biggest part of our great contests, so I can't thank them enough :D

In other news, I want again to say, thanks to *milbisous that has helped keep the club running so smoothly, specially since I have been travelling all this month :D THANKS DEAR! The best coadmin ever :D

So you know, leave us your contest ideas! We promess to read them all!!

And also don't forget to check our latest features!! And please, if you want to JOIN the club, or SUBMIT a work, READ BEFORE THE GUIDELINES!! We keep getting notes without proper subjects, and specially, submissions WITHOUT the medium. Also, if you sent a submission note and you still didn't see it in the gallery, you DO NOT NEED TO RESUBMIT, 100% of the times is just in queue, which means you just need to be patient :)

Just in case, I leave here a little reminder of the full guidelines (that you can read here)

:bulletred: To JOIN send a note with the subject JOIN.
:bulletred: We will only submit your finished pieces. FINISHED paintings, not paint sketches.
:bulletred: To submit work, send us a note with "submission" in the subject line. Include in the body of the note a link to your deviantion; that is the link to the work on your deviantArt gallery.
:bulletred: You can only send us one work per note. Also please include the medium used in your painting, and if you know it, the size (in inches or cm).

If you have any doubts, the full guidelines (including what mediums do we accept and which we don't) are available here.

My current deviantDOLLARs balance is $2.77 so... I'm broke and no sponsorship this time. Unless of course someone buys my prints :D

There are so many things going on in my head right now I have no idea what to paint/draw next, so it's really hard to suggest anything. Except of course of the usuall stuff: music theme, the personification of a colour, paint your favourite month so that everyone could taste it and smell it of your painting... blah blah, "opposites" could be fun to paint, tons of ideas here to chose from. Someone once suggested "Chaos", it's a good idea I think, chaos can have many faces. But I'll stick to "opposites", two opposing forces/feelings/colours anything. I don't feel creative enough to think of something more :)

Flames to dust, lovers to friends... why do all good things come to an end?

"Childhood Memories" would be a nice idea for a painting contest, I think. :)

Circles again
The boy's in
Circles and
Gotta stop spinning...
opposites sounds great! that would be fun ;P

Doesn't matter what brings a person, only what they leave with.
I think something general, like city or forest or people or sea would be quite cool! So that there is more opportunities to it. :>
Contest Ideas:
-An 'Our World Today' as seen through the eyes of artist. It would be interesting to see the different submissions and views from different parts of the world. It could be political, emotional, realistic, surreal, whatever someone wanted to depict.
-'Mirrors and reflections' which would yet again be something any painter can do whether they like realism or surreal painting.

I had to use that prompt in a creative writing class. It worked well for everyone.
