Hurray for the yearly contest! This year, it's coloring.
1) Go to sidekickgirl.net/coloring-contest/ and choose one of the four pages. Right click, copy image, and paste into a new file in your favorite digital painting program.
2) Get to coloring! We'll be looking for a number of things, including
Accuracy: You don't have to match hair and skin tones perfectly, but keep in mind what the characters actually look like
Precision: Is the job neat, does it fill the lines without going outside, etc
Creativity: You can do shading, change the lighting, do the backgrounds however you choose, etc. As long as the line art is not significantly altered, the sky is the limit.
Awesomeness: Interesting special effects, filters, WHATEVER is all fair game.
3) Post the image here, in this thread. It should still be 740 pixels wide.
But I don't have photoshop or illustrator, or any of the other fancy programs you artisty types use!
If you do your entry in MS paint, we will give you mad props for effort. Or, if you WANT, gimp is free.
I want to color by hand! With pencils! or crayons! Oil paint!
Go for it. Print the image, color it, and find a way to get it back online.
The deadline is NOVEMBER FIRST AT FIVE PM!!! We'll pick the four we like the best and run them during November, like usual. Winners will get Something (tba.) The very best one will run the last Wednesday of November and will get A Bigger Something.
Any questions, ask below.
