FArt Wars 2007 (introduction)

FanArt Wars

Ok all, I’ve had the idea of bringing this type of thing to this forum for a while now, so bear with me while I explain it to you.

I propose we have a Fan Art battle! And here’s how it’ll work.


1. Prior to January 2008, people sign up for the battle. I’m guessing we’ll have anywhere between 10-30 people. This is a fairly big commitment, because for those who succeed, it can mean a year’s worth of fighting.
2. At the start of each month, a topic will be given out. Call it a ‘theme’ if you like, but it’ll be the focus of that month. All competitors will create a piece of ‘art’ that best personifies that theme.
3. The piece of ‘art’ can take nearly any medium. You can use a screenie, video, 3D, drawing, or even claymation. The only things that are required are A) Originality-don’t just copy an idea or image, B) Creativity-how much effort was put into the piece, and C) Effectiveness- did the piece succeed in capturing the theme.
4. All pieces must be submitted via links (there will be a thread called ‘FArt Wars Jan Contest’ for example), where people can discuss pieces and provide links to theirs. All pieces MUST be submitted by the 25th of each respective month.
5. Voting will start soon after. Each month will have a different type of elimination strategy (sometimes coinciding with the theme). But know that submitting nothing will earn you a ticket out of the competition. Those remaining will go on to the next month.
6. By December we will be down to a very few, and the last one standing will forever (or at least for a year) be called the FArt Champion of CoX!!!



This is the place to discuss this competition and to sign up for it. If you want to sign up for it, simply do this…

At first I thought it was FART WARS -- and wondered how that medium would translate to an electronic battle. Now I see it is about art and drawing and making movies and such.

Good luck to all, but visual mediums are out for me.

Enjoy.

It's a prestigious and honorable title! <;.;> How can you not covet it as I do?

Besides, the new name is FAR better than the old one.

[censored] Volcano, whilst perhaps illustrative, has not got a good ring to it.

Is this being set up like a tournament, or is it a "pass/fail" vote, or what? I guess I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules of elimination.

I get the whole "make art to fit the monthly theme." That's awesome. Just lookin' to get a bit clearer on the competition part.

Anyway, I'm in.

I'm probably going to doom myself to a sudden rush of paying work and/or a real job if I commit to this...

So, Sign: Juggertha!

Just do me a favor, Juggy, and post updates to your dA, since I'll probably see them better there than here.

I've never done any real art, but I like pencils so I'll probably contribute if I remember

Yeah, each elimination 'may' have a different style. But for the most part it'l be a vote in some type of 'vs' mode.

I really don't want people to think this is only for ART... I honestly think that someone could do very well at something like this with just some screenie manipulation.

One piece a month, seems like a commitment I could make.

So, we're nearing on a dozen now.

Anyone else want to step in?

You'll regret not taking up the mantle... there's no chance to join in once it gets going.

I sooooooo wish I would have the time to do this. But with two studio drawing/painting classes, an Art history Class, Lectures and Full Time work... well, I just don't think I could make and keep the commitment. I would be DQ'ed the first month for a no-show.

So, I will just wish good luck to all the people who sign up, and wait eagerly to see all the awesome art that this inspires.
