Welcome to the April edition of OCR's "official" Fan Art Competition (FAC).

All previous contest entries can be found here (http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/OCRFanArt). Thanks to MiamiGuy for setting that up and maintaining it.

If your unfamiliar with FAC then please refer to the next post that contains all rules and regulations.

As you know the winner of last months FAC gets the privilege of choosing this month's theme. Rambo, our winner from last month's INTENSE competition, has selected Castlevania.

Here's a link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania) to the wikipedia article since there's a TON of games in the series.

I know that you people can come up with some CRAZY stuff for this series, and I say GO FOR IT!!!

PM me all entries by:
April 23rd

Alright! Lets get started!

Possible Questions (now with answers)

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 and must be video game related.

What if I don't know much about the theme?
Information resources are provided in the first post of the thread.

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?
OCR of course, the whole community votes on it.

How does voting work?
On the day after the deadline I will make a post that displays all of the art submitted. Then users will be allowed to see every entry and decide which three they like the best, in order. Afterwhich they will send me a PM with their vote and maybe a few comments about the contest. They must do so in the announced voting period. If not then they fail at voting.

When and how do we see the results?
After the voting period is over I will count the results and figure out which peice has the most points. When voting the voter sends in their top three favorite peices. The one they like the most is worth 3 points, the second 2 points and the third 1 point.

If I enter the contest can I vote?
Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you REALLY wanna.

Once the points have been counted I will send a happy PM to the winner that tells them that they one and explains how they are to choose the next months theme. *deep breath* Once I get a PM back I will post the results and artists choice for the next months theme.

Rules and Regulations!
1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme.
2) No P0rn.
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.

[andyjayne]

Excellent choice. :D

[Sir_NutS]

I think rambo should have been more specific. The style varies a lot between games and well, picking one game would leave room for competitions in the future.

But I'll keep an eye on this nonetheless.

Sooo.. untill I saw that wiki page, I hadn't any idea that Castlevania strayed from Nintendo consoles.
If I had to pick one game, it would've been Castlevania 3 for the NES... and I'm not sure just how many people have played or would be interested in that. I wanted to see a lot of entries. Like in the other series competitions (Metroid, Zelda, Megaman) :sad:

yeah I think that it's better that we do the whole series. As with previous months, large a series like this one generates a lot of entries.

[The Lone Gunman]

Oh Snap YES! Now this month had no excuse to be boring! YES!

[DeepChild]

The Castlevania Dungeon is another good site with info on the series. BTW, congrats on the win Rambo and excellent selection for this FAC.

[Rambo]

BTW, congrats on the win Rambo and excellent selection for this FAC.

Thanks! 8-)
I'm in a bit of a slump though... My NES just up and died on me. lol...
I might have to draw inspiration from Castlevania 4 or Legacy of Darkness... Tis a sad day :sad:

[atmuh]

I shall be honest and say I've never been a HUGE fan of this series, but I did play Super Castlevania IV and Symphony of the Night, and they were pretty fun.

some SoTN stuff might be nifty

[atmuh]

As it turns out, CV3 is MUCH harder on an emulator...

nice sig dude

edit: where the heck did that post go

[Rambo]

nice sig dude

edit: where the heck did that post go

What the fuzz... good question. :-(
Well.. thanks no less. Hope this one .. stays..

EDIT: Can I make the sig linked to this thread?

[The Phalanx]

Metroid, THEN Castlevania? Its like I'm personally gettin' some love up in here.

Now here's hoping I'll do better than 4th fucking place this month.

[Rambo]

Thank you! :)!!
Yay! Phalanx is already in!

[friendlyHunter]

Nice theme choice, and congrats! I've already got a pretty decent idea, hope I have time to get it done this time.

Thanks man :smile:
Glad to see you're interested this month too. Are you gonna finish your Metroid comic though? If / when you do, let us all see!

[friendlyHunter]

Oh, definately =] Since it's no longer a contest entry, I'm gonna add music to it too.


Heh, after midnight, and look what day it is now! But seriously, my post says the truth. Or does it????

Very clever... damn you. lol
I hope you're serious though, and music, well that would just be kick ass. But I really liked the two panels you submitted, so I hope you ACTUALLY do finish and present the rest. With or without music


...Preferably with

[Vilecat]

Holy shit, Castlevania! *drools*
I've only played through AoS on the GBA, but if i stop procrastinating i'd like to give it a try. If i get the hang of drawing people soon >_<

[Electronic Samurai]

Hmm. I've never really gotten into the Castlevania series - I might have to sit this month out.

[Rambo]

Hmm. I've never really gotten into the Castlevania series - I might have to sit this month out.

Yay, now that I'm unbanned for suggesting Icecrap was a joke... lol
I'm going to try and convince you to do some research and enter anyway!!! :-D

[Rambo]

Sooo... This is pretty much what I have to work with for my idea. Guess I'll have to be a bit more creative than in the Metroid FAC.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u24/Rambotnic/Castle.jpg

Anyone else thinking of starting anytime soooon? ;-)

EDIT: Guess not...

[atmuh]

so whos got ideas i wanna see BLOOD

[OA]

kinda busy this month but I am doing one. :D

[Hale-Bopp]

Though I know you guys aren't exactly taking requests, I'd looooove if someone did something from Portrait of Ruin.

I don't have a place for blood in the idea I think I'm gonna follow. lol, but I'll do my best!

Though I know you guys aren't exactly taking requests, I'd looooove if someone did something from Portrait of Ruin.

Sooorry, never played that chapter of the series. Someone's bound to make a picture from it though! 8-)

[andyjayne]

I really want to enter at least one FAC but at the moment I have a load of work I have to get done. I'll plan an idea out and if I get time I'll try and get started but I can't say I'll enter.

Please do!
I <3 Castlevania and would love to see ANYTHING from it. Draaaaaw...



By the way...

[atmuh]

wow thanks a ton dude!

[Rambo]

wow thanks a ton dude!
No problem! Thanks for maintaining this competition! lol

[Mouser X]

No problem! Thanks for maintaining this competition! lolThis I must agree with. It's nice that Crabsmasher (is that spelled right?) started the competition. I'm glad that someone else was able, and willing, to carry on the "torch" so to say when he had to step down.

Admittedly, I'm no Castlevania fan, so it's unlikely I'll be very familiar with the entries. Even so, I look forward to the results. Good luck everyone. Mouser X out.

[atmuh]

Crabsmasher started it.
During the Zelda one he went crazy afk and we were kinda confused what to do at that point, so I kinda jumped on.
So yeah I really didn't do anything, I'm sure there were plenty of people that would've jumped on if I didn't.

[atmuh]

so we got one in already!
I hope to see many more.

[Rambo]

so we got one in already!
I hope to see many more.

That's awesome! I was worried about the lack of posts in the thread. :roll:
This'll be my first project ever with the use of Photoshop. (I downloaded the 30 day trial just for this) :-D
Here's hoping it turns out okay.

[atmuh]

so uhhhhhhhhh
anything??????????????

[OA]

just about done with my sketch, then onto colors. :)

9 days is a long time, dont worry :)

[kamoh]

Atmuuuuuuuhhhh!

I demand match!

[Vilecat]

It's Castlevania, i'm sure there'll be a bunch of entries. Then again, it's almost the end of the semester, so people might have started passing exams and such.

I really need to find the time to enter this one >.<

[Ninja-san]

Ive got something down on paper. I just gotta clean the page up.

[The Phalanx]

I'll...get around to it.

[atmuh]

2 in!
phalanx you had BETTER get around to it!

[Rambo]

Hmm.. No way am I gonna finish. So sad.

[Ninja-san]

We only have 2 so far!?
:[ geez i hope we get more. I thought they would have been more by now

[The Phalanx]

2 in!
phalanx you had BETTER get around to it!

I haven't really thought of what to draw. And its not a real priority to me at this moment.

[atmuh]

heh, trust me, I hear ya.

[atmuh]

[Vilecat]

maybe I'll throw something together and i will win! :]
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
;o

I'll try doing something tomorrow and submit it ftlolz no matter if it'S complete or not. I've had so much work from my projects for school that i've been in a zombie state all week long. Yay for crashes after sugar/caffein highs!

[The Phalanx]

Mine's submitted.

[Rambo]

Sooo.. are submissions due 5 mins ago? Or within the next 24 hours.

[The Phalanx]

There was no due time set, so I have NO clue.

I'd imagine midnight of the actual day its due.

[andyjayne]

Looking forward to this one, hope there are more entries than it sounds like there are. I was unable to get anything done due to coursework etc. but I still have my idea which I may end up doing one day.

[Ninja-san]

There was no due time set, so I have NO clue.

I'd imagine midnight of the actual day its due.
The Deadline has always been midnight with the other FACs

[atmuh]

midnight tonight

[Rambo]

midnight tonight

Whoops.. lol
Tooo late. Oh well, I'm going golfing in half an hour so i wouldn't have been able to work on it until late anyway. Miiiines in.

[SolidSnake4564]

Mine is pretty crappy. I wanted to ink it and color it, but I need more experience with comp based art programs....*sigh*
plus I did it in like 45 min.

[atmuh]

I am entering
it is a clever interpretation of this picture

Don't worry, it's all good as long as you enter it <3
I sent mine yesterday, and i don't think it'd ever be worth colouring, haha. They're doodles anyway, it wouldn't be the same with colours.

As long as there's no lense flare... *twitch*

[atmuh]

[Rambo]

[atmuh]

i really have no clue what is wrong with you people

[Ninja-san]

So any idea on what the next theme will be Atma?

[Rambo]

i really have no clue what is wrong with you people

Clearly, we just know art when we see it. Must have been all the blood. :)!!:)!!:)!!
Suggestion for some month: the Ratchet and Clank series has a lot of cool stuff...
Though as a NINTENDO fan boy... I can't say I've ever played it.

[atmuh]

question
how many of you own a DS

[Jaswald]

heh, it's funny because I already know what he has in mind.

I do. I might enter some art this month actualy. I'm still trying to convince my girlfriend to do some too.

[Rambo]

question
how many of you own a DS

Not I, my friend. But then again... unless it's something ABSOLUTELY UNPASSABLE.. (and I cant think of anything that would be).. I'm skipping the next FAC to try and make some music. CUT TO THE CHASE AND SAY WHAT IT IS!!! :smile:

[atmuh]

i have an interesting idea
and I'm goin with it
see you in the next thread

[The Phalanx]

...THE FUCK.

Expressing ANGER at this.

[OA]

...THE FUCK.

Expressing ANGER at this.

owned imo. <3

[atmuh]

i feel bad
i will not be enterin no more

[Alex Smith]

Atmuh, that is fantastic. So expressive, yet simplistic in its own sublime transience.

I'll put in a ridiculously large bid for it. But only once your dead.

[friendlyHunter]

Awww, if my computer hadn't have broke, my awsome drawing would've completely won =( Now I owe you guys TWO unfinished entries, and I haven't been able to touch them for weeks and weeks (and counting...) Alas, mine goodly work sadly doth remain unscann'd! Woe, etc.
