how can I post my work?

[Linguini]

Just about peed in my pants. I cannot even imagine all the fabulous art that's going to come out of this.

[RoyCook]

Yeah Im really excited about entering this have some awsome ideas, have already started a thread to post my WIP's which Ive already begun. Prizes and promotion etc.... sound great too!

Only question I have is about the size, it says 1000px wide, is hight unlimited?

Also do we not get to see other submitted entries? Surely we wont get too view them if there email'ed to you.

Cheers.

[Raz]

Yeah, I was asking about the height too. Is the height 1000px also or is it up to us?

[corspufo]

I'm in. Thanks Jason, CA and everyone else!

[redehlert]

very cool. deadline seems reasonable too....hmmmm....

[Ian Barker]

I have no chance of winning, but I'm still going to work something up, and maybe end up with a new portfolio piece for myself or something. Very impressive prizes, and I can't wait to see people's submissions.

[Ryuartyi]

Wow, even another prize? You spoil us Jason.

I'm really hoping to get my thread up tonight, but I can't seem to get any kind of decent perspective on my thumbnails. I really want that IFX cover.

[pauljmendoza]

Can it be a sculpture?

[iamnotatypeofflower]

hey quick question. Do we gotta create a thread just to participate in the competition? and same question about the height of the image. Is the height up to us to decide?

Mr. Jason Manley/CA.org

Concerning the newborn contest's strict rules on producing your own original work and not using the likeness of other people, does that extend to objects/tools such as Painter/Wacom tablet?

I wish to include the likeness of these products into my Newborn entry, but i would like to know if such a thing is allowed.

I would assume so as both Wacom and Painter are Promoting/Contributing to the contest.

[Ilaekae]

Can it be a sculpture?

The rules (#3) state that any media can be used, but I would take into consideration that the companies involved would be using the images for promotional purposes, so a free-standing sculpted piece may not translate well into a 2D image. I definitely could see a flat-on sculpted piece similar to a frieze or bas-relief, or even a shallow "box" piece as being quite acceptable for what they have in mind.

Keep in mind I'm not Jason (I'm cuter...) so he may have another opinion.

I'm not Jason, but I don't think this would be a problem anymore than including a Pepsi can giving birth. It's called COUGHblatentCOUGH "product placement."

[Isobel]

I think the guy/girl with the worst drawing evah needs to win the workshop
he/she needs it the most haha

Likeness of other people? What did I miss? I'm using my grandmother in my picture, photos for ref taken by myself. So there's a likeness of grandma in my picture.

You mean likeness of refs that you have not made yourself, right?

cheers Isobel! at least someone's on my side lol

[Ilaekae]

You're fine, Sorky...

Say "Hi" to grandma for me and ask her if she likes dirty old US men who know how to cook...

[Ian Barker]

Artwork must be 100% original and your own. It can contain no copyrighted materials or unapproved likenesses owned by others. ARTWORK MUST BE ORIGINAL.

So is this refering to celebrities? I was going to include some popular faces as a sort of cameo in my piece (not copied from a photo). It was gonna show some musical artists watching and wondering as a new decade is born. Is this idea in violation of the rules? (their faces would appear in the reflection of the container that the baby is in.) This is a thumbnail:

[VirusArtist]

pumped and ready to go... not for the prices but for the challenge- gimme all you got, folks!!!

[dortega]

Also a little confused on the dimensions, Im assuming its 1000 pixels by any number of pixels of our choosing?

[Jie Kageshinzo]

Hoshit, July 31. Must get cracking.

[Lordmaul30]

cannot submit. mail delivery failure!

[MichaelNoel]

Will do then.... I just need feedback. I don't trust my own judgement, sadly enough

QFT. I finished my first picture, and then start picking the shit out of it the second I was done. From now on, all WIPs need to be on here, so I don't feel like a noob after I'm finished. -_-

I'm terrible at judging how good/crappy my work is.

Drawing a picture of a Wacom giving birth to the word "AWESOME" will not win you this contest.

[carakhan]

I finally get in one one of these things when it starts! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with, my head is already bubbling with ideas!

[Carl Lesser]

Cool idea I'm in.

[LJaydemos]

So cool! mmmmmmm, with prizes too! (slobbers)

[Vaejoun]

I am into this as well, just have to check the details again ^^
