Aero's Amazing Colouring Competition!!


Aero_

 

Posted

Welcome! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to colour/render Andrew Wildman's fantastic sketch of Aero to celebrate his reaching security level 50.
Your tools and methods are unlimited, although you must use the provided image rather than creating a new sketch.
This means that your submissions won't be eligible for the Creative Genius Award, but there are nevertheless, rewards for your efforts!
They are:
1. The prestige of knowing that Aero is out there, saving the day wearing your design. ( )
2. A free 2 months game time card
3. In-game rewards (recipes/salvage/inf - which? - it's a surprise!)

Entries can be submitted here or sent to me directly (you can obtain my email via PM). Closing date is June 30th 2007 with the winner being announced in time for the Brighton meet on July 6th/7th.
(What?! I hear you say; there's a Brighton meet in July?! Yes! We're putting together another meet - see here for details: Clicky )

This is the said image you will be colouring (isn't it pretty?!).

Good luck! Your mission begins now!

If you happen to pick the colours I already have I'd be surprised, but at the moment, he is all-over Black, with Ice-Blue coloured flames.
In case you want to tie in a theme with his powers, he is an Ice/Ice/Force Blaster with Flight powers.

Would cleaning/adding line work to the original be acceptable? I'm not suggesting changing details per se, more just adding thickness and weight to some of it.
Would you want any background detail or not?


 

Posted

Modifications to the original are fine (and even encouraged) including adding backgrounds, but the original must be used (i.e. you can't use the character design to create an entirely new sketch. This is so that everyone starts on a level playing field for judging).

I decided to have a go, going with the Ice theme I went for blues, that yet contrast rather well.

Aero Final

I'll right, I'll give it a go. I warn you, I may be a first time Creative poster but that doesn't mean I'm new to this sort of stuff!

A mere hour later and Viola!
I was even kind enough to resize it for your puny 15" monitor screen!

Well your little compo intrigued me so I took your lineart and made a colouring. I am likely to change this as time goes on, but in the meantime here we are.

Hope you like.

Giving this a slight bump, because it's cool and I started working on my entry today.

Hehe - good good - glad to see the entries still trickling in - seriously impressed so far! Come on guys, lets see some more entries - it's gotta be worth a bash - there's prizes to be won!!


 

Posted

Just a random question, do I have to add colour via a digital photographic programme or can I just paint Just wondered because there was no mention to whether you could use mediums other than based on the computer such as paint, pencils etc


 

Posted

Nope, any medium is actively encouraged!
How about a collage of recycled products?! "Aero Goes Green?!"

I've received another entry by direct message as the entrant was unable to upload onto here, so I will post it on his/her(?) behalf.

Here is Aero - by ScarletVengeance
