RESULTS ARE IN!!!
FAC 42
Theme: Video Game Character Cosplay

Welcome to the December 2010/January 2011 edition of the Fan Art Competition (FAC)!

As winner of last month's competition, SaturdayS gets to choose the theme!

"How about a video game character cosplay theme? Draw one game character in costume as another. That idea is still unused, right?"

I know we've had the Body Swap theme, the Role Reversal theme, and the Bad Guys Gone Good theme...but this theme just seems so silly! BUT NO MORE THEMES IN THIS VEIN AFTER THIS, OKAY?? At least for a while.

***
As you are probably already know, it's the middle of December! But that's okay, because I had been thinking about skipping December for the holidays anyways. What we're going to do instead is introduce the theme this month, but not have the deadline until January, if that's alright with you guys!

***

Please PM your entries to me by SUNDAY, JANUARY 23rd!

FAQ

What is the Fan Art Competition?
The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme.

What is the theme?
The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition (most of the time) and must be video game related.

Who can submit art?
Anyone.

What are my restrictions?
You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions.

Who decides the winner?
The OCR community. Anyone who wants to vote, can vote.

How does voting work?
You vote for your three favorite entries, from first to third. These entries are given points based on the order in which you voted for them in. For example,

1st. friendlyHunter
2nd. DJ Mighty
3rd. bonzai

In this case, friendlyHunter would get 3 points, DJ Mighty would get 2, and bonzai would get 1.

When and how do we see the results?
After the voting period is over, I'll announce the winner and show the tallied scores for all entries.

If I enter the contest can I vote?
Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you really want to.

Rules and Regulations!
1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme.
2) No nudity.
3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme.
4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry.

[Gollgagh]

does kirby in a costume count

[bonzai!]

i think kirby in a costume a la super smash bros counts, not...kirby as a wheel.

[metalsnakejuice]

I might actually give this one a try.

[Ninja-san]

Woot I can do this one lol

[relyanCe]

[Thin Crust]

Merging 2 characters together? click the link. The pic was just a spark of randomness I had. Please don't hold it against me.

[Gollgagh]

if you didn't do any of these yourself, they have no place in this thread

[Lord Cheeseball]

I've got a really great one in the works. Already sketched out, inked and scanned. Currently coloring and doing some small edits right now in Photoshop. Can't wait to see some of the other entries. =D

[relyanCe]

ok goll seriously

ease off

I for one saw the link he posted as some interesting inspiration

[Sindra]

Bump!

Got mine sketched and scanned in.

Question. Do characters from other media that are in video games count? Like comic book characters?

[bonzai!]

In the past, it had to first and foremost be a video game character. ex: there are Transformers video games, but it is first a toy/tv show/movie/comic etc., so it wouldn't be acceptable for the competition.

But I'm pretty lenient about those things (and basically most other things in this competition), as long as you keep in the spirit of the theme!

[Sindra]

Yeah, that won't be a problem. =D

[Sindra]

BUMP!

Alrighty kids. Mine's submitted.

[bonzai!]

ohhhh snap, the deadline is tomorrow!

GO GO GO

[bonzai!]

Edited the first post with the entries!

[Dhsu]

Ohohoho, too good.

[Gollgagh]

ha

I like how demanding a discount is the paragon action

[big giant circles]

rofl, nice. I'm going to try to get ME2 to pimp that third picture on their facebook page. Maybe after I know who drew it. Somebody PM me :)

[bonzai!]

RESULTS ARE IN!

Congrats to our winner :)
And a big thank you to everyone who participated, as always <3

[Lord Cheeseball]

Yay thanks everyone who voted me. :3

In return, I chose only the most fitting theme for February: Valentine's Day!
